best man regardless Of party nomina-

lions.
A man who dares to do right and re-
sist wrong regardless of consequences,
who during the war, being himself too
old to be justified with his habits of life
and condition Of health, in entering
the active service, took upon himself
the whole burden of an extensive bust
ness in order that his junior partner
and able assistant and friend, who did
then and ever since has acted with him
In politics, might enter the field to fight
the battles of the Union. Who yolun.
tarily contributed literally to the aid of
soldiers, families, of which I possess
written proof in subscription papers
that have been in my hands for Years.
A man, who-when class of men, un-
willing to stand the chances of draft,
which might result in calling them to
render their personal service due their
country, sought to levy a tax upon the
property of soldiers fighting in the
army, and of men too old to do military
service, in order to hire substi-
tutes to save their own carcasses. man.
fully stood up for the right and de-
feated the unjust tax.
The man who submits to Il wrong he
cause it is popular is craven, and I
say that Hon. E. Z. Wilder deserves
praise instead of censure for having re
sisted the bounty tax. While man or
set OF men who are called upon to do MIL
ltary service, may possibly have the right
to hire other men to take The ehanca. ST
being shot in their stead, though this is
doubtful, they have not the right to
take the property of soldiers, or of men
exempt from military duty for the pur-
pose OF saving their own heads. JUDGE
Wilder has lived in this country all his
life and has been subject to military SER
vice as many years as any other citizen.
and the man who, after second thought,
will oppose Judge Wilder on the ground
OF his resistance to such an ATTEMPT to
trample on the rights of property, is ig-
norant Of the first principle of law, justice
and liberty and is worthy only of con-
tempt.
Then, say, if the people wish to have
u man who will stand like wall TO-
their rights and for the "securinc of an
honest and economical administration
of government, if they wish to honor
merit and ability, learning and intesri
ty, let them vote for Hon. E. T. Wilder.
but if they wish to say to the world in
general and to the young men Of this
country who are yet to come into the
control of the government, that in this
free nation, in the Centennial year, the
highest ability and worth counts az
nothing against king caucus, political
trickery and the "potent influence of
federal patronage then let them vote
for H. E. Strait.
Yours fraternally,
| B. B. HERBERT.

WORTHLESS SECURITIES DIsOovERED-THB
BEAUTIES OF DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF
PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
Special Dispatch to the Nep York Times.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Secretary Chand-
Ter, in making an inventory Of the securities
held by the Government as Indian trust
funds before turning them over to the
Treasury Department, in obedience to a
law recently passed, is coming across some
interesting facts in relation to the beauties
of Democratic control Of public affairs. 1t
appears that up to 1861 the different
Democratic Secretaries of the Interior
had invested in worthless securities
81, SOC, 1856 66, most of it being in South
ern State bonds, bearing interest
at five and six per cent; but a
good sum was in Southern wildcat railroad
bonds, and $66, 900 was invested in Ten
nessee turnpike company by some enter
prising Democrat having an interest in that
section, which turnpike has never paid a
dollar. Besides this amount of worthless
bonds, there was taken from the "trust
funds" $870,000 during Buchanan's admin
istration, which, together with $2,008, S00.-
so interest psidl by the Government on
worthless and abshacted bonds, makes the
Government loss "a 384, 767.16. This is
not a new discovery, and the principal facts
were used in the canvass of 1860, sixteen
years ago, but the details were never 40
clearly exposed as now by reason Of the
necessary inventory Administrative re-
form seems after all to have made some
progress since 1866.
