The New York ITibuHs's publication and
translation Of the cypher dispatches which
passed between the Tilden mansion in New
York and the Tilden agents ip Florida dur
ing the count of the Presidential vote in
1876, proves beyond question the truth Of
the charge made at that time that Mr..
Tilden's agents were offering immense sums
Of money to bribe electors. The complete
exposure Of his villisny is another most
startling and important disclosure Of pO-
HticaI crime connected with the reform
candidacy Of Mr.. S. J. Tilden. It will be
obstructive to see how the Democracy viii
meet this last development, coming as it
does through the knowledge and scknow-
edgsment of Mr.. Abram S. HughStt. We
have now definition Of the Rsformer's
character IN the Oregon sfair, in the Intern
al Income affair, and in the third case we
now have the indisputable evidence of this
cypher proposition to buy an electoral vote
in Florida and the actual promising of
$50. 600, with which to seal the contract.
Our friend Of the Standard win no doubt
clear this up. Well, there are not a few

EVILS OF A FLUCTUATNG CURRENcf.-
When, by fluctuations of the value OF the
standard by which values ara measured,
the prices Of all commodities vary incess-
antly, the element Of gambling enters into
all business transactions, and the CONNER
cial morality Of the nation is undermined.
The desire to acquire riches suddenly and
without labor then becomes contagious.
Honest toll, with its slow returns, gives
place to speculation, amid the excitement of
which the stern requirements Of morality
are forgotten. Men naturally honest, who,
treading the firm foundation Of specie,
would never have gone astrsy, deluded by
paper money and enticed into hazardous
ventures, find themselves defaulters before
they are conscious Of wrong.
Up to Wednesday, %, there were in New
Orleans three Thousand six hundred and
thirty-fve deaths by yellow fever, and
twelve thousand and eighty-tWo cases.
These numbers are appalling, and it is only
by contemplating them that one can reach
anything like an adequate idea Of the ter
rible rayages Of this plague. Happily,
however, the worst is over. The weather
at New Orleans on Friday was reported
cool and braolng, and there were slight
frosts in the vicinity Of Memphis. At El.
more, Alabama, near Montgomery, there
we're frost and ice. These indications are
most favorable, and the frigbtful scourge
hes probably psarly ruR its course

a settled purpose TO resume will gradu-
ally and surely bring gold and paper to an
equality, which viii make specie payments
an easy matter.
Fiuctuating currency robs somebody
continually, and most of all, farmers and
labOrers. How will it give such paper fixed
value to issue more oft?
General Fremont's reception by the Peo-
pie of Arizona has been deservedly hearty.
His installation as governor Of the terri
tory took place not long since.
The yellow fever Is clearly on the ret
rograde. Refugees are returning, and
nurses and physicians are released, and
things are putting on healthier look.
An unlimited paper currency is great
curse to any people, and particular curse
to the laborers of any country, for its de-
probation always falls upon the lsbOrer.
General Grant seems to haYe given mp
his contemplated visit to India, and will
remain at Paris during the winter, making
Oecae :onal trips to Spain, Portugal, and
Algiers.
Dean Stanley made pilgrimage week
or so ago. to the little knoll near TaPpan
where Major Andre wss hanged. Andres
remains are in the Deans keeping, in
Westminster Abby.
Clarkson n. Potter has declined renom-
inaton in Congress. This may because
he has got so little glory out of the inYes-
tigatiOn he has set on foot that he thinks
that he must fail if he runs.
Potter revolution seems to be indefinite
lypostponed. In disgust be declines another
term in Congress. All his lsbors of inTes-
tigation go for nsught. Have the cipher
dispatches turned his stomach?
Hon. Halbert E. Paine, formerly men,
Der of Congress from the Milwaukee dis
trict, has been appointed Commissioner Of
Patents, vice Spear, resigned, and will en-
ter upon his duties on the first prOximo.
Many fancy that much currency means
high wages. They forget that inflated
prices hurt more than inflated wages help
them. In times of fuctuation "wages Of
all things go mp last and least, and fall
first and lowest"
If the Democratic party should remain
as third party in the field, its going to
make it troublesome for Independent pa
pers to preserve tripertite balance, and
will require more than usual cleyerness to
work out the problem of an equilateral
triangle.
Said Governor Hayes: "Whst our coun-
try needs to revive business and to give en-
ployment to labor is restoration Of con-
fdence. We need confidence in the stabili-
ty and soundness Of the financial policy of
the Government. That confidence has for
many months past been slowly but steadily
increasing"
Senator Bayard 'begged the labOring
man, as he valued his own interests, not to
and the capitalist in increasing his inflated
wealth by voting to increase the volume OF
paper money. Imitation would eventually
bring curse upon the country, before
which former panies were nothing"
A broad assertion, backed by money and
goods. The proprietors Of the Ashtabula
Store claim to now have the Largest,
Cheapest and Best Selected Stock of Dry
Goods, Millinery, Notions, ClOaks, etc.,
ever seen between Erie and Cleveland. A

all respects he is represented as an able
and worthy citizen Of the State, but his
faithfulness to the Union was urged against
him by the press and on the stump, to the
exclusion Of all other questions; and the
prejudiees thus excited compelled him to
withdraw. Thus a Southern Union man
who would not lift his hand during the
war to destroy the nation, can never be
forgiven. Northern Republicans can be
tolerated, If they viii never refer to the
late unpleasantness save in terms eOmpi-
mentary to rebels, but Southern Republi-
can must be increasingly Perseeuted as

The public can now see why it was that
the Democratic House, so eager to investi-
gate the Presidential count, so persistently
refused to look into evidence of Democrat
ic fraud. Did the hightoned Potter know
the dark story hidden in the cipher tele-
grams? His behavior, and the behavior Of
his Democratic associates, when Congress
reconYenes, win be the best answer to this
question. If they still stick to Tilden and
attempt to excuse his crime, they must bear
the odium Of sharing IN the guilt. There
are honest Democrats, of course, and they
should not be condemned for what Tilden
and Manton Marble did, but the party can
not escape censure il it seeks in the House
of Representatives to ward of investiga-
ton.

Mr.. Tilden, in his card, writes as though
members Of the canvassing boards made
the advances in the bribery business while
the kilograms from his agents clearly i'm
ply that bis agents themselves had indus
triousIy labored to find out exactly what q
certificate would cost. The exploded re-
former ought to have studied the kilograms
before he wrote his card. They show not
that any member Of the canvassing board
was actually willing to sell his vote, but
simply that Tilden's agents belieYed the
purchase possible. 1t IS by no means dem
onstrated that the members of the Canvass
ing Boards were corrupt, but It is very
clearly proved that Grsmercy Park thought
they were and was willing to take adVsn-
tage Of it. It was willing to pay fifty thou
sand dollars for an electoral certificate
from Florida, or eighty thousand for one
from South Carolina, but it is by no means
certain that Gramercy Park could have
bought either. Its card badly needs re-
vision.

HoPEFUL.-If our Democratic friends
succeed as well as they DO generally, in
misusing their advantages, and should use
the time industriously in the Presidential
interval for making themselves odious, the
next election may be all the easier for the
Republicans TO carry their standard bear
er. Such a result would not be very sur
prising, for the Democratic party is the
best party in the world in the place Of the
under dog in the fght. AdYersity is their
holiday and happiness. It is as tireless
and unserupulous as the powers Of dark
ness. But let the helm and direction Of
affairs slip into its hands and it becomes
mad. It's fierce and relentless rsdicalism
has no hounds. There is nothing too ven
cradle or too revered 70 escape the revolu-
ton Of the commune. Give it rope enough
and it viii find It's end. It hastens the
day ofits dissolution. The best sentiments
of the country are outraged and the result
is that the intolerance and outrage Of the
party toward all others, and the eonten-
ton and greed among themselves, makes
Its end that Of swift destruction. Such we
have reason to trust, viii be its end by the
time Of another presidential campaign.
MR. EDIsoN's newly invented auplica-
ton Of electricity to the purpose of illumi-
nation is q practical and well perfected
thing. He has succeeded, in the first
place, in dividing the electric jat at pleas
ure. and then has so arranged the process
Of supplying the light that it may be intro
duced with comparatively little difficulty
into the houses Of large city. He will
Jay the wires from the central stations,
where the magneto-electric generating mas
chimes are established, through the present
gas pipes, under the street surface, and
will conduct the house wires through the
smaller pipes that now run under the floors
and ascend in the walls and partitions.
The gas fixtures need not be removed [;
thew will be needed to encase the wire, and
only the burner viii need to be changed.
The light is turned en- simply by pressing
a sprinq. and is reduced or turned out with
eonsl ease. It requirs no matches, makes
no smoke, gives out no heat. Its cost, as

Our friend Of the STANDARD thinks there
is no danger in the greenbaek upheaval Of
national banks, but that everything will set
tie back in the greenbaek groove, and things
will 60 on with perfect smoothness and
guaranteed soundness. The country has
come to look with apprehension upon the
breaking up of any well settled and whole
some state of things, by the fierce radicals
of Democracy, as no fellow can tell or con-
lecture, where or how the settlement viii be
effected. A party that would revolution
ize the country in obedience to the imperi-
Gus will of its Southern directors, are not
the safest and best agency to be trusted.
The fairness of-a political theory offers no
guaranty of the practical result, and where
the theory is crazy one, the prospect Of
being wrought out into a shapely and
wholesome end is made very much more
remote and doubtful.

This qiyes Milton Barnes a majority of
1854 in the State, over Paige the Democra-
tic candidate for Secretary Of State. As
Ashtabula county gave Barnes a majority
Of 1896, the rest of the State will please
to understand that we elected Barnes and
have 11s to carry over toward Republican
Governor for next year, say Charley Fos-
ter, for example.
Barnes received majorities in AZ countles
amounting to A, ,5S9.
Paige received majOrities in 46 counties
amounting to Ss, 4S5.
Barnes largest msjOrities were IN the
counties of CuYahoga, 574S; and Ashtabu-
la. 1906; his smallest in Erie, 42;and Psuld-
ing, "a
Paige's largest msiOrities were in Butler,
229O; and 'fin the dark hills of Monroe, +"
1858; his smallest in Williams, II; Madi-
SOP, A
LUCAS COUNTY.
Petitions looked to TOledO-Lucas eOun-
ty- to demonstrate the unknown quanti-
ty Of the Greenbaekers or Nationals
strength. They were mice in the meal
that no one could count and therefore
great interest was felt when they should
show their hands. This is the result:
Barnes, Republican, 1924; Paige, Demo-
crat, 1881; Roy, National, 1898; Giving
Paige a majority of 227 over Barnes, and
Roy, Nationalist, a majority of Az over
Paige. This was the only county which
gave the Greenbscker majority.
CONGRESSIONAL MAJoRITEs.
The largest majority given any Con-
gresham in Ohio, this year. is for Mr.. Gar
field 9,61S. The next largest was that Of
Mr.. Townsend in the CuyahOga District,
5s1O.
The smallest majority given is for War
ner, Democrat, in the 18th District, 1913,
and next smallest for Ewing, Democrat, in
the 10th District, S34. These latter ma
jorities show the Importance Of one vote.
If one Republican more in each school
district had voted, in these Two Districts,
we should have had eleven instead Of nine
Republican Congressman. In the eighth
District, Foster cut down the majority Of
346S Of last year to 1855 this year, and al
though Finley, Democrat, beat him, he
only did so because the O'Conner-Demo-
cratic Legislature tied Fosters hands with
sucb an cVerwhelming Democratic major
ity. Tine largest Democratic majority in
any District is that of Geddes in the 10Th,
4,57s.
Hamilton county cast 80, $50 votes and
