The Nomination Of Tilden.

We remember the nomination OF every
candidate for president from Jackson's
second nomination to the present time,
and we say that from that day to this no
nomination of any party was ever received
with such spontaneous outbursts Of joy by
the people as that of Gov Tilden. In
Rock Island no arrangements of any sort
were made for welcoming the nomination,
but THE ARGUS, of last evening, aunounc-
ing the result, had hardly appeared before
BlehPs full band paraded the streets fol-
lowed by great crowd of people hurrah-
ing for Tilden, and then the great guns
of the Rock Island Light Artillery, in
Court Square, belched forth their welcome
roar, bonires blazed in joy, flags went up
and the rejoicing spread throughout the
city and vicinity. The Phoenix Hose COM
pany's band, having been out on an ex-
cursion, marched up the street and large
numbers of people fell into line
after that band. cheering for Tilden.
1t was I. T. everywhere-Tilden Talk on
every corner and in every public place,
The rejoicings where wholly spontaneous
and voluntary. There was no arrangement
or set up job about it; no ofice-holders to
get up paid and put up show-and the
whole affair showed deep desire on the
part of the people for a change of administra-
ton, and the strong feeling that Gov Tilden
is the man for the occasion. Many Republi-
cans, disguised with the corruptions of rings
and frauds in their own party, and out
ragged by the fact that the only really
honest reformer in their own party was re-
fused the nomination, were in the
crowd last evening rejoicingl with the
people in the nomination of Tilden. At
the hotels and railroad dcpots 1T was just
the same-nearly everybody seemed de-
lighted with the nomination and talked
it out in tones of Joy. There is no mistak.
ing the signs of the times-a change Of
administration is now demanded by the
people, for economy, retrenchment and
reform they are determined to have, and
they believe, with Gov. Tilden in the
White House, these results will be Sc
cured. His election seems among the
certainties of the centennial.

Bob Iupersoll's Speech.

Evidently the Cincinnati Commercial
was not carried off its feet" by Inger-
soils spread-eagleism at the Republican
convention. 1t says:
IAN immense deal of flap jack has been
said and written about this celebrated
oratorical display, 1t is stated to have
produced profound impression. If so,
it must have been upon others than the
voters of the convention. Mr. Blaine S
vote upon the first ballot did not exceed,
if it came up to, what was universally con-
ceded to him. 1t is asserted, as being the
most astounding evidence of the speaker
power, that had the ballot been taken that
day Blaine would have been nominated
But the charm failed to last twelve hours
The judgments of men were not affected
Their wits were dazed by delirious excite
ment, such as three fingers of whiskey car
produce at any time. even under the mos
dyerse circumstances"
