WHAT THE PApERs >sAK.

Copperhead Democrats who never
did nor never will do any fighting want
ttTilden OF blocd,'' but the people don't
intend to have either.
They are now willing to compromise
by giving up Hendricks, and allowing
Wheeler to be elected Vice President.
One by one their positions are surrend-
cred.
''Stop thief!' "stop thief!" cry the
Democratic papers over the Louisiana
vote, when in their own pockets they
carry the stolen electoral votes of Mis-
sissippi and Alabama Since the foun-
der of the Democratic party tried to
bEibe our Savior on the mountain, who
ever heard of such impudence
Since the election, not one word has
been heard from the liar who originated
the absurd charges about President elect
Hayes income tax. The author of this
sIander was Jas. B. Steadman, who
owes the Government about S640, 900
which he failed to account for, when, in
1869, he was collector of internal rev.
enue in Louisiana. a suit for the re-
coyery of the amount was begun years
ago.
The Democrats consider that States
are ungrateful. Louisiana was purchas-
ed by Jefferson, and has gone Republi-
can. Oregon, about which Polk was
determined to fight England, has also
gone Republican. And, as the unkind-
est cut of all, Colorado, the admission
OF which as State the Republicans OPP
posed and the Democratic House forced
into the Union, has Joined the happy
band and voted against Democracy.
TammanY Hall, in imitation of Abra-
ham S. Hewitt, has issued an address.
The main points in it are a claim that
Tilden rs elected and that there is a
fraudulent conspiracy 10 keep him
ont, which may ''prove fatal to the tree
institutions of the country" The dec
laration from that source is about as
impressive as a sermon would be on in-
temperance from an occupant cf the
gutter. Col Bob Ingersoll never told
. palmer truth than when he said that
Tammany Hall sustains the same rela-
ton to the penitentiary that the Sunday
School does to the church. It's leaders
are thieves, Williams and scoundrels
OF the. war-like editor of the Louis
vile Coatrier-JoeanaI, who, during. AL
OF the late sonpleasantness," edited q
newspaper and never got nearer thar
within so miles Of the ssYankee army
the Ohio State journal says:
M. Henri Waterson is praDcing about
with his head and tail land perhaps
nnorel in state of elevation, smelling
the battle. When Monsieur Henr
came through the lines about 1864 in 1
little bobtail gray roundabout, with I
flag of truce, beginning little below
where the roundabout ended, he wa
not so brash about having the fighting
begin again. He was willing to leav
something to diplomacy.
The dignifed Parke Goodwin want
Hayes and Tilden to settle the Presi
DENTAL question by drawing lots. Fl
has had an interview with Tilden, AM
this happy thought struck him. w
suspect that Tilden would prefer to sci
tie It by game OF draw-poker, in whicl
case he would have the advantage {

Hon. Zach Chandler says he doe
not care copper about the dispatche
he sent to prominent Republicans s
the South-would just as soon see thel
made public as not. But the questio
Is, shall these disappointed Democrat
while I'm rage over their late defea
be allowed TO throw out their drag-ne
and rummage the files of private tel
graphic correspondence just for spi
against the party that defeated them.
They have convicted about fifty Fl
lows in CINCINNATI for repeating tn
IS voting twice and some of them thr
or four times in the Presidential ele
ton. But one of these repeaters voti
for Hayes. Early in tho day when
was perfectly sober, and had bis Doc

IS day. al another ballot box, when he W
beastly drunk on mean Democrat
whisky. he voted for TiIden and He
bricks. We think that fellow ought
be pagdoDed.
