ING THE WEEK.
In an article possessing just the last
tinge OF tho commune spirit, the Milford
Nesos says: -
The government of the people must be
made more directly the agent ,f the peo-
| pie, and the millions that are now every
year ABB orbed by score or two of mil
iionaires should be by just laws influence
ing production and exchange, turned in
| TO ten thousand other channels that will
iffuse them throughout society. This
can be done, and must be done or this
government Of the people, by the people
for the people, will Ultimately end in des-
potism.
or the probable result of the Tribune's
"cypher dispatch" attack against Samuel
j. Tlden, the Salisbury Eastern S,.oremu,
says:
IL Is not all improbable that Tflden,
with his old force at his hack REINFORCED
by those who sympathize with him for
the treatment he has received, NAV
again come to the front and bear of the
prize. A man OF great political foresight,
ne may take advantage OF just such acts,
distance all of his competitors in the first
heat. His enemies had better be cari-
tious. -.
On the same subject the Newark
Ledger says
Now in regard to these kilograms it
may be truly said that not one of them
has been brought home 10 him, and FAST
ened upon him and, furthermore he has
Hatly ana fully denied any knowledge
OF them whatever until they were pub.
ished In the New York Tribune. Under
these circumstances we think no fair
minded person will hold him responsible
for them.
In relation to the political REQ uirements
of the times the Seaford H,efer saws We
want men of stability, men of sound,
pracucal judgment, men who avow edly
proud of their principles, and who are
Wiling to preserve and maintain their
bonor and dignity, who are preof against
seductive overture, and imprpgnabe to
the temptations and assaults of political
tricksters.
Cecil Den,ocrat:-Mr. Tilden,s plain
and emphatic denial of completely in the
alleged attempts to purchase the dec,-
slons OF the Florida and South Carolina
Returning Boards will be accepted as
conclusive by every lover of fair play.
The strongest proof of his innocence is |
the fact that be did not obtain n the deci-
sion Of the Florida Board, although he |
was fairly entitled to 1t. IL has tbeen pro- |
ved beyond a shadow of doubt that |
u ayes's title rests upon forgery and per- |
jury. The price stipulated for the false re- |
tnrnshas been paid n offices. The Tribune
must now make good charges ifit wishes
to save the little respectability it vet |
possesses.
Milford Chronicle of the most
successful elements man can possess IL
that ipdefinable intagible something |
known as tact To this quality MANY 1
very commonplace people in other re-
spects owe their brilliant successes in life.
One .mans with tact but no more real |
ability than hundreds of others, will pass
through the world, ama.s wealth, gain
position, and be courted and enyied by
all, while his companions, who set ont
with him on his voyage OF life, make TO-
tai failures, and all because the fortunate
individual has been able TO say or do |
just the right thing at the right time.
Says the Deln1dred1l to the lSentineI:-
The Sentinel is tirtd of politics, and pre-
tends 1t will not have anything to do with |
1t hereafter. Reason why: its editor |
wanted Federal office and could not get |
1T. He applied for two offices at a time |
and got neither He wanted 10 be Mar /
shal under Grants administration, and
even John Dunn beat him. He applied |
TO the Hayes administration for the same
position and also to be postmaster i'm this
place. McMullen was appointed Mar
shall and Mr.. Andrew Smithers, Post
master, and the Sentinel sulks and pouts
and won't vote and don't want any one |
else to vote. We suggest that be make
an affldavit and place it on file IN the of
nee or The Clerk Of the Peace.
Says the Sentinel to The Deldncoreou
w onder II the DeLdlodredn and all our |
pear-ty friends will read the Tildep dis
patches. In their light we fully appre-
1ate the late Reform principles Of the late
candidate and his party.
