The Municipal Nominating Conven-
sion of the w. p c., which met in San
Francisco yesterday, adopted the tactics
OF the old parties and made promises
which they can scarcely be expected to
redeem in the event of the election of
their candidates, The platform adopted
pledges the party to secure reduction
of 40 per cent. on city taxes; provides
shat Chinatown shall be obliterated and
Chinese forced to live outside of the
city; that the income of the Water
company shall not exceed $500, 900 per
annuui, and that all nominees shall
pledge themselves to accept reduction
OF between 40 and so per cent. of exist
ing salaries, and to pay the difference
over to the Treasury.

TlLDEN'S CASE.

The case of the United States VS.. s.
J. Tilden continues to drag along in the
courts. Tilden was accused during the
Presidential campaign of 1876 of de-
frauding the revenue by not paying his
income tax, and, though his counsel
have been anxious to have the case
tried, the Government officers say they
are not yet ready. They seem deter
mined upon one pretext or another to
prevent the trial from coming off until
the next Presidential election, when, if
Tilden is not nominated, the case will
probably be dismissed. This is a con-
temptible way of doing. If Tilden is
guilty he ought to suffer the conse-
quences, and if innocent it ought to be
made known. In. any event the case
ought to be tried, as his counsel have
repeatedly asked that it should be, or
dismissed. 1t smacks of persecution
for the officers of the Government to
keep the matter in allegiance for parti-
san purposes.

THE CONVICTED POLYGAMIsT.

George Reynolds, of Utah, the first
polygamist convicted under the law of
Congress passed in 1862, has been taken
to the Nebraska penitentiary. He was
accompanied to the depot in Salt Lake
City by number of friends. The
Deseret News, the organ OF the Mormon
Church, says of him: s'He goes as a
servant of the Most High God-sen-
fenced by human court to two years
Imprisonment and fine of $500, for
obeying a commandment revealed from
Heaven; and thus witnesses to God,
men and the angels, that he regards a
divine law superior to human law,
the latter having been framed in abro-
CATION of the former"

DR.. Bledsoe. the principal dentist in
Shelbyville, Ind, made Mrs.. Billman
insensible with chloroform prepar-
atory to pulling out one of her teeth
She says that she regained conscious
ness, and found that the Doctor, in
stead of attending to business, was kiss
ing her; that he gave her more chloro-
form, and when she again awoke the
tooth had been extracted. DR.. Bledsoe
declares that the kissing was entirely
imaginary. The dispute is the subject

ORDERED TO THE CAPITAL.

Notwithstanding the protests and re-
monstrances of the Comstockers, the
Governor, as Commander-in-ch of the
State militia, has ordered the several
military companies of Virginia City and
Gold Hill to report at the Capital, armed
and equipped for review and parade on
the Fourth of July. Superintendent
Yerrington, of the Virginia and Truckee
railroad has agreed to furnish the troops
free transportation to the Capital and
back, but some of the Virginia papers
suggest that they decline the protiered
free ride and march down the hill to
the State Capital. It is not probable
that this gratuitous advice will be ac
cepted as a sixteen-mile walk before
breakfast would have a tendency to
cool the patriotic ardor of the corpulent
officers, who are not accustomed to such
exercise. The Carsonites are greatly
rejoiced at the order, while the Virgin
ians are correspondingly respondent,
and rail at each other for not announc-
ing in time that they intended to cele-
brate the Fourth of July by grand
procession in which the military compa-
MES were to participate.

deliver an address at the Soldiers
National Home, at Dayton, Ohio, on
Decoration Day. The Dayton Demo
crat gives the following verbatim re-
port of his remarks on the occasion:
COMRADES! AUDIENCE! ALL have
been badly sold many times, but never
so badly as now. | have been presented
almost forced upon you-to talk, and
Ihave no more respect for talking than
YOU have. Words do not mean much,
and I 90 for fellows that go for deeds
and for actions. Members Of Congress
are born talking, but soldiers. never
talk. Who ever heard General Grant
talk? Who ever heard you talk? Why,
if l wanted to address Niagara, it
would be no more difficult to do it than
for me to attempt to address you. l
never spoke out Of doors in my life, but
as | see some of you, | think see some
of you look to me; you have good cause
for it. As / said before, have been
sold-look to me for few words, and
hence rather than disappoint YOU |
came here. When I wanted you and
those like you, no matter how exacting
my orders were, no matter how diff
cult or perilous of execution, you never
threw off on me, and it is not in me to
throw off now on yea! tApplause.) |
am not here to talk. | come to see
how you observe Decoration Day, the
day OF days to you and to me; l come
here for the purpose of seeing you. |
was here few years ago, but it was
nothing then to what it is now. To
judge of it as see it to-day | would
not know ever saw it before. | can
simply say, because l have to be brief,
that there is only one word in the
English language TO. express tit is
prodigious! prodigiousl Applause re-
peated.l And thank my country for
having provided you with the Home
that she has, and | hope that every
soldier-not like this member OF Con-
gress here-I don't throw off on my
antagonist. You never learned that
from me. After my antagonist surren-
ders want to take him by the hand
and | want to do all can for him, and
yournever learned any different feeling !
from me. But You did from some out
slider, probably some member of Con-
gress. / will tell you an anecdote. In
the war with France-between France
and England in Napoleon's time-a cav
airy officer sailed out from his troop,
having discovered an English officer
separated from his command, to give
him single combat But after riding
rapidly up to him, he saw that he had
lost an arm in the battle, and he SAYS:
IL IS true your country and my
country are at war, but the unfortu-
nate belong ono country applause
After an enemy surrenders he is no
enemy OF mine. He is a friend of mine.
and particularly when he has honored
every field that he has fought upon
when he is worthy to be your and my
antagonist. will respect that man as
long as live, and if he wants anything
/ will open my pocket to him, just as |
would to one Of you. But | am being
betrayed into good deal longer talk
than expected to be. [Cries-"You
go on!"l No, | am not going to. God
bless every one Of you! [Cries-"Go
