carrying Ohio than over anything else in
political affairs, much more so than over
New York. He considers Gen. Ewing's
success as almost vital to the Democracy,
and he was willing to do everything in his
power to contribute to it. He urged Mr..
Merrick to proceed at once to Ohio and
enter upon campaign work there. He was
so anxious to have Ewing elected that he
did not wish to neglect anything which
could contribute to that result.
Mr.. Tilden also expressed himself freely
10 regard to the situation in New York.
He felt confident that the earnest effort of
the Democracy of the state to crush Tam
many would command the support of
many independent Republicans. He felt
sure that more of this class would vote for
Robinson than would be drawn off by
Kelly. He regarded Tammany as having
long been before the people as the heaviest
load the New York Democrats had ever
carried, and he thinks if it can be beaten
now it will remove the only serious obsta'
Gle to Democratic success 10 that state IL
1880.
From the tenor of Mr.. Merrick's con.
versation. it is evident that MIR. Tilden
considers the question of his nomination
by the next Democratic convention as
already settled in his favor. 1t is alsC
evident from the earnest interest he ex'
pressed in Gen. Ewing's success, that the
hard democrats of the east do no
intend to make any trouble with theil
Western soft-money brethren on accoun
of their financial heresies.

An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that nature ac-
complishes her greatest revolutions
in the earth's surface conformation
SloUly. Every year the river makes its
channel deeper, the glacier wears a
deeper gorge in the Alpine rock, and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has
crumbled from the rocks upon which
it breaks. We note the earthquake
and the devastating hurricane; but
these changes are so gradual man sell
dom observes them until the channel
has become overhanging cliffs, or a
mountain has disappeared before the
icy stream, or the ocean has given US a
Florida. Thus it is in disease. Our
attention is attracted by acute dIsea-
ses. as fevers. cholera, etc, while
chrome diseases (often the most dan
gerous in result), being slow in their
development, are seldom noticed until
they have made an almost ineffaceablc
impression upon the system. Persons
believing themselves comparatively
healthful are oft-times the victims OF
these diseases, and Ouly become aware
of their presence when reliefis almost
impossible. Disease Of the liver and
stomach are the commOnest of of these
chronic affections. DR., Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets are neverfailing re-
NEEDLES for these diseases. They pro.
duce a healthful secretion of the bile,
prevent the indigestion by regulating
the bowels and impart vigorous tone
to the whole system.

StalWart Lying

Whenever a shooting ARRAY occurs 10
any of the southern states the item is
teIegraphed to the northern stalwart or
gans with highly colored description, and
the outrage mill set in motion from Maine
to California. It matters not whether the
shooting be the outcome of persona
quarrel, it is invariably charged to politics,
and heralded as an example of the lawless-
ness of the southern people and as show
ing the necessity for more rigid surveil-
lance of the hated section. This business
has been 80 extensively carried on that it
Is beginning to react and is coming home
to plague the inventors. The Democrats
have got to making comparisons, and
somehow the stalwarts don't relish the new
departure, especially as the contra exam
pies are occurrences 10 truly Republican
states, where it is supposed the party Of
great moral ideas has wrought such purl-
flying changes as to preclude barbarianlsm.
But the indubitable evidence of facts stands
forth stubbornly 10 support OF the compar-
isons, aud now the stalwarts are almost
willing to call halt Democrats did not
invite the contest and will use their pleas
ure in the premises, but Republicans must
first learn that it is game at which two
can play successfully. Stalwartism means
a cowardly, 'stab.in.the- back" campaign,
based on appeal to prejudice and not
judgment, and every mean, despicable lie
that can be concocted will be sent out 10
pamphlet form.as truth. Democrats may
as we'll understand now as any time just
what they have to expect in 1880, and be
prepared to counteract the lying state
ments Of the party of sectional hatred.
The bloody shirt argument has lost its
power with men Of sense and Judgment,
but with the ignorant dupes who are so
bigoted and partisan as to refuse to listen
to truth it will still be potent. The Dem
ocrats will gain from the conservative
sensible thinking class of people, and on 6
liberal platform embodying the true prin
ciples of Democracy cannot fail to achieve
a triumphant success in 1880, when The
great contest occurs.

The Grant Boom.

The aowery establishment given the
announcement of Grants arrival at San

basis Of the presidential fight. The nomi-

Northern Yazooism.


Last Sunday. at MonroevllIe, Ind, a
temperance lecturer was notified to leave
town by a mob of one hundred and fifty
men, who threatened to lynch the lecturer
II their demand was not complied with.
On Sunday night, at Westerville, Ohio,
the dwelling of Ia saloon keeper was blown
UP with powder, because, as is alleged, be
persisted in selling liquor in violation of
law. The wife and children of the saloon
keeper were badly injured, and his house
was totally destroyed, Here are two
shocking Outrages perpetrdted. one by
men who will not allow the free discus
sion OF the temperance question, and the
other by men who believe that the local
law does not sufficiently restrain the sale
OF liquor, nor provide adequate penalty
for its violation. 10 spite OF these facts,
1t would be manitestly unjust to charge
that al! who oppose the temperance agita-
tlon are laWless men, or the advocates of
lynch law; and it would be equally un-
Just to charge that those who advocate
stringent law as to the sale of liquor. or
more severe.penalties for the illegnl sale
of liquor, with favoring the blowing up
ct saloons, There are fanatics aud law
less men on both sides the temperance
question, but there is no doubt the great
body of those who differ so widely are
honestly DESTROYS OF peace, order and
prosperity. Nobody thinks Of charging
the great body of temperance people with
being assasslns, like those who destroyed
the saloon in Ohio, nor of charging all the
men engaged IN the manufacture and sale
OF liquor with.the mObbing Of the lecturer
IN Indiana. But the speakers and writer
IN the interest of the Republican party
commit precisely this injustice when dis
cussng like Outrages in the south. Had
It been Republican speaker IN Missis-
sippi. instead OF temperance lecturer in
Indiana, who was slenced by mob, all
the Republican papers would have been
swift to assert that all the people of the
State and the entire Democratic party of
the nation were responsible for it, IF a
store house in Georgia, instead of saloon
ID OHIO, had been destroyed by gunpow.
DER there would have been shout from
the postothce press in favor of placing the
South under martial law.
