sents all the characteristics OF crime
which most violently stir the gorge OF
Moses. The Justification Of the vote and

the subornation of deputized go-betweens,"
the hypocrisy of " arch-rrimates of treason"

the latest theories comes from Washington to the
effect that Tlden concocted the scheme for the pur-
pose of calling the public attention afresh to the
Louisiana swinde" in 1876. TIlden's slyness is

tangled up with Buffers name
No wonder the Calamity statesmen are out OF
busness in n country where the farmers increase
their business SAG 200, 900 in one year!
The Democratic turkey will be bitter with fraud
to-day. Garcelon put II In.

exodus investigation in Washington, so that only
snch witnesses as ne desires may be summoned.
There was a witness in Washington recently who

A black flag would be much more appropriate.
That spiked fraud might rs we'll be turned
into hItching-post for the Democratic donkey.
The Uorld broke out all over yesterday with the
following stirring conundrum: suppose Horatio
Seymour IieSucnOS III 1oOV.
Does anybody suppose Grant could carry this State
against himf" Don't stir up bygones so recklessly,
neIchbor You know Grant did carry this State
against Seymour IN 1865. and that Tweed counted

mour is consequently much weaker candidate.
Beck says the Democrats want for Presidential
candidate "a robust, straightforward outspoken
man, who can get the stump, look us straight in
the eyes and say just what he means" When he
was asked if Iilden met that description, he an
swered: Oh we'll vote for him II he's put up"
OF course. The party likes turkey as we'll as any
body but il will take crow rather than go hungry.
Tilden didn't hang his stocking for fear the De-
mocracy would put an Internal machine in il.
Senator Booth says Blaine is undoubtedly the first
choice of California Republicans, that he can have
the delegation if he wants 1t, and that, if nomi-
mated he will carry the State without doubt The
sentiment OF the STATE Is opposed to a third term
under other than exceptional circumstances.
The trouble with that Joel Parker Blizzard seems
To he that it's axis is stuck fast the sands of Mon
