The Kendallville Standard says: A
farmer in jefferson township who has al
ways been a Republican but who voted
the Democratic ticket at the recent elec-

hence will read in his History OF the
United States" with wonder and sur
prise, that thare was in this country,
in 1873, a party who, knowing that
there was 100000. 900 Of paper money
in circulation that was as good as
gold, and that in less than ten weeks
$500, 100000 in gold and silver would
be added as fast as it would be re-
quired, made proposition to destroy
that currency and drive from circula-
ton all the gold and silver in the
land, and issue in its stead an ire
deemable paper currency; and,
strangest OF all, that these men pre-
tended to believe, and that many of
them actually did believe, that such
a policy would brinss .rosperity and
happiness to the masses.

As our readers ali know, the New
York Tribune has published the
cipher dispatches sent from Mr.. Til
denis house in November, 1876, max
ing proposals for the purchase OF
electoral votes in South Carolina and
Florida. For a while Mr.. Tilden took
no notice of the matter, but it soon
began to get so warm for the Demo
cratic managers in the east. that Mr..
Tilden was compelled to write let
ter, denying any responsibility for the
dispatches; but it is found, when the
letter is examined critically, that il
amounts almost to confession that
the dispatches were sent, because Mr.
Tilden does not deny that they were
sent, nor does he have any word OF
rebuke for those who sent them, but
vents all his wrath on the Republican
party, with the evident intention OF
diverting attention from the frauds
managed by his own private secre-
tary, who ate at his own table, was
a member OF his household, and who
is his nephew, assisted by other OF
Mr. Tilden's confidential friends. The
Tribune comments as follows upon
Tilden's card:
10, Il 4 ,o1F q
American people are not perishing TO
learn his opinion on the constitutionality
of the Electoral Commission, or on the
way in which that tribunal discharged its
trust, but they are interested in knowing
" hat opinion he entertains of certain 9TH
er transactions TO which his attention has
been directed Tilden roundly denies any
responsibility for the negotiations for the
purchase of electors and returning boards.
But he has now been made aware that
such trafficking was undertaken, and that
his own house was the harbor for some of
the amateur and professional brokers and
dealers in this sort of merchandise, and he
must now know, from internal and exter-
nal evidence furnished by kilograms, who
these traders were. And what does Til
den think of these men? He takes pains
to criticise Congress, and the Returning
Boards. and the Electoral Commission,
but he has no word of censure for men
who were telegraphing Northward and
Southwark about I" fifty Of the best United
States documents and $4,000 in three
packages" He finds room TO denoInce
McLinlby name, but against the ciphereFs
along the wire which ran into his bed
chamber; against Marble and Coyle, and
Woolley and Weed, he breathes not a
word of displeasure. Tilden must write
one more letter and say explicitly whether
be disapproves of the works of his recog-
nized and authorized agents. His opinion
of alleged frauds committed against him is
now understood. The country waits for
his opinion of the frauds attempted in his
favor. There are hot blooded gentlemen
whose Indignation could not be restrained
from breaking out against any superser-
viceable friend, who through excess OF
zeal and absence of moral principle, has
compromised their good name. Mr.. Til
den is not hot-blooded, and he will not be
expected TO act or talk with undue precipi-
tation. But if he continues TO keep
silence, there are malicious people who
will say that he doesn't dare to denounce
these corruptionists. for fear they may
turn upon him and exhibit their creden-
tials."

The Fort Wayne Sentinel Demo
cratic) commenting on the fact that
Holman, the defeated Democratic
candidate for Congress in the fifth
district, had intimated an intention to
contest the seat of Tom Browne, who
was elected by.,S42 majority, and that
McCabe proposed to contest the seat
of Orth in the ninth district, after ex-
pressing the belief that these men
should not contest, unless they are
clearly satisfied that they have a ma
jority, says, that there is too much
reason for complaint that most cases
OF contested seats are decided by
Congress from a purely partisan
standpoint. 1t says that it is not
to be wondered that the Democracy

that they received from Republicans
while that party was in power, should
be inclined to retaliate. But it fur.

Republican party OF any other party
has attempted to advance its interest:
by fraud or injustice, it has in the enc

The mortuary table Of Memphis,
published in Sundays appeal, shows
that the total number OF deaths to
that date was 1850, against 1892 in
the epidemic Of 1878. On the 9th and
10th of September the number of
deaths was Ill. and on the 14th, 127.
These were the three days of greatest
mortality. From the 10th Of last
month there has been an almost
steady decrease in the number of
deaths. Another noticeable feature
is the extraordinary malignancy OF
the disease in the city. The total
cases were only 1923; the deaths be-
ing almost half as many as the cases.
The mortality in New Orleans has
been little larger, while the number
OF cases has been more than 5000
greater

The New York Herald on the Shot.
Gun Policy i'm South Carolina.

The New York Herald, OF Thursday,
discussing the revival of the shot
gun policy in South Carolina, says.
"The Southern Republicans have
precisely the same right to assemble.
to speak in public. to nominate can
didates, to try to elect them, and to
vote when election day comes, as the
Southern Democrats, and IL any at
tempt is made In South Carolina or
elsewhere to interfere, by force or
threats or brutal bullying, with the
free and full exercise of these rights,
Southern Democrats will discover
that the North knows how to resent
and how to punish such wrongs, for
which, whatever may have been the
case under the old Southern policy,
there is now not an atom OF excuse.
it will not need Federal interference
to punish such misconduct, because
it will receive its reward at the polls
in November"

Third-Class Mail Matter.

A Washington special to the Inter-
Ocean, last Saturday. says the new plan
OF registering third-class mail mat
ter, which has been in operation about
three weeks. has proved to be a great
success, and reports from ali direc-
tions show that its advantages are
appreciated by the public. The re-
tail merchants OF the larger cities are
using it to extend their trade through
the mails, which are cheaper and
quite as rapid in delivery as the ex-
press companies. The New York
merchants report that their mail
trade, now that the system OF regis
tration is adopted, will increase rap
idly. and they are sending out thou
sands OF catalogues and samples to
the smaller towns, where the advan-
tages OF prices and variety, In ladies'
goods particularly, are not offered.
The same Is true OF merchants In
Western cities. Heretofore the trade
by samples through the express COM
panies has been large but the charges
for carriage were so high, that there
was no economy In small purchase.
Now lady's silk dress can be sent
through the mail. registered, for %
cents, and the merchants, on even
small purchases, can afford to prepay
postage, and thus customer in vii
lage can have equal advantages in
trade with people who live in cities.
From the reports already received
the income Of the Postoffice Depart
ment will be increased by this new
evetem
