BrsAerv and Corruption.

1t was only the other day that the
Associated Press agent at the London
end of the Atlantic cable telegraphed
that enc Robert Henry Hurst, who was
elected to Parliament in December
last, had been unseated for sending
letters to voters promising to pay their
railway fare to the polling place. A
Justice of the Queens Bench decided
that such an inducement constituted
bribery, and renders null and vol 1.-The
election.
To the average American politician
the decision of the English Judge will
seem preposterously overstrained, and
his bosom will most likely swell with
deveut joyfulness that he is a free and
independent citizen of this great and
glorious Republic, instead of down.
lrodden vassal of an offete and bleated
aonarchy like Great Britain. 1t is a
good deal a matter education with
him, and he cannot quite understand
why tie Queens Bench should draw
the lines SO hard on Mr.. Robert Henry
Hurst, who in Offering to transport
voters to the polls only did what his
own ward or county committee does
here every election day. In this great
and free country no one need walk to
u polls, and il enc candidate or tho
,ther has not a carriage at his door Ee-
ore he has finished his mornings
nap he is very lucky voter indeed.

| Governor Samuel D. Tildcn, of New
York the Democratic nominee for Pre-.
sidcnt was born in New Lebanon,
Columbia county, New York, February
Nth, lSl4. He entered Yale College in
1888, but completed his course at the
University of New York, and was ad.
mittcd to the bar. lie was member
of the State Constitutional Convention
Of 1916, and also of the Assembly, ,,ap6,
did much Ito 70 sb"ol 'In'ss;;a,. i nol;ov -,
=. ,lit' State. In 1866 he was chosen
Chairman Of the State Democratic Com.
mittrc, and in 1867 was n member of
the State Constitutional Convention.
In 1869 and 1870 hs was active in the
organization of the bar association. In
1870 and 1871 he was very prominent
in detecting important frauds in the
government of the city of New York,
and in 1872 was member of the As
scmbly. In November 1874, he wNs
elected Governor of New York by 50,3l7
maj ority, change of 100000 votes over
the preceding election against Governor
Dix, the most popular Radical in New
York He has been engaged in some
Of the most important cases ever tried
i'll New York, and has always acquitted
himself with great honor and managed
his cases with consummate ability He
is nm bachelor, and has accumulated u
handsome fortune by inheritance and
the practice Of law.
Governor Tilden has never been an
otlice.seeker During the war he was u
Union Democrat, and since the war has
been warm in his advocacy of liberal,
wise and generous policy OF reconstruc-
ton toward the South with equal rights
to all the States.
Governor Tilden's greatest reputation
has been made rs n reiormer of abuses
in the official administration of State
and municipal affairs in Now York; and
he goes before the country pledged to
do for the United States what he has
commenced and has 40 successfully
carried forward in New York.
In regard to military domination in
tho South, the record of Governor Til
den is not equivocal In his special
message to the New York Legislature
on the subject of Sheridan's course in
Louisiana he said New York, first Of
the commonwealth OF the American
Union in population, In resources and
in military power, should declare her
sentiments on this occasion with dis
tinctness, dignity and solemn en-
phasls which will command the
thoughtful attention Of Congress of her
sister States and Of the people of our
whole country. With the unanimity
with Which she upheld the arms Of the
Union in the past conflict, che should
now address herself to tho great and
most sacred duty of re-establishing civil |
liberty and the personal rights of
individuals of restoring the ideas and
habits of freedom, and of reasserting
the supremacy of the civil authority
over the military power throughout the
