The English Papers of This Morning.

The Commercial, alluding to the report
started by the New York Times that Mr..
Tilden is preparing an elaborate letter de-
claring that under no circumstances will he-
consent to serve his party again as candi-
date for the Presidency, declares such let
ters are not final, and instances the words
of Gov. Seymour to the New York Conven-
ton in 1868, "Your candidate can not be, )"
which were forgotten as soon as the Con-
vention had nominated him. 1t thinks the
declaration, if made, will be insincere on
the part of Mr.. Tilden.-The Com
mercial says, with reference to to-
morrow's election in this city,
The voter who casts Democratic ticket in
this city tomorrow votes to deliver Cincin-
natl up to be sacked by the professors of
ward politics and operators of City Build
ing and Courthouse rings, who have taken
the name of the Democratic party to con-
jure WITH he votes also to condemn re-
sumption as fraud, to scoff at the saving
of fourteen millions year by refunding
the National debt at four per cent, and to
take from the boom of business that public
confidence which is one Of its chief springs
and he votes to append the great free
State of Ohio to murderous Mississippi,
and to exalt the Southern Confed
eracy, reorganized and consolidated as the
| S lid South, to rule over the United States
and take vengeance and recompense for the
Northern victory in the sectional war.--
With reference to the disappointed life of
the present Emperor of Russia the Com
mercial observes: In place of being the
''beloved of the people," as he hoped to be
a quarter of a century ago, Alexander can
not move among them with any freedom.
The police and the military follow him
wherever he goes and keep watch over the
person Of. his Majesty lest the bullet of an
assassin sped with curses, goes crashing
through heart or brain. Is it surprising
that ruler so disappointed in life
should be given over to melancholy, or
seek in religion the consultations which his
people have not given him?-1t is our judg-
ment says the Commercial, that the State
of Ohio will tomorrow go for Foster by a
majority over Ewing and Piatt exceeding

his conversion.
The Enquirer says of the Republican cry
of rebel Brigadiers: You are told abund-
antly about the 'rebel Brigadiers," espe-
cially those of you that are soldiers. Do
you not remember that it was by the votes
of Confederate Brigadiers nay vote
among them-that the Arrears of Pensions
Bill was passed? That bill placed in the
hands of EX-Union soldiers and the fami-
lies of ExUnion soldiers $26, 100000. Re
publican Congress after Republican Con-
gress has refused so do this act of justice.
1t remained for Democratic Congress
man, under the leadership of General
Rice, and against almost solid Repub-
lican opposition, to fulfill the con-
tract of the Government with the soldier
Every candidate is by law entitled to have
friend present in the room where and
while the count Is in progress, and should
avail himself of the right. This can not
be too strictly attended to. We repeat,
there can not be too much vigilance OH the
part of Democrats to see that no frauds are
committed in deposlting ballots in the
allot-boxes, or in the counting of them
when the election is over There are ten
times the frauds committed after the polls
are closed than before, and more vigilance
is then required than at any other time.
The Gazette says: We give this morning
what leading Cincinnati Democrats have to
say about the denomination of Grant. 1t
will be seen that with one voice they pro-
nounce against it. Alex. Long believes
Grant to be "a kind of man for the country
| to be alarmed at" Theodore Cook thinks
third term would involve fourth and a
fifth, and so on up to dictatorship. G.
w. Rowland sees in Grant "mysterious
character" a man stronger than the Re-
publican party" Major Reid, ex-Confeder-
ate, is opposed to third term on principle.
He fears Grants mailed hand would crush
out the liberties handed down to us by oul
forefathers. I'm word to business men
the Gazette says: But Fosterrepresentsa all
that is sound in finances while Ewing
represents all that is unsound. The princi
plies involved can not be separated from TIE
candidates; therefore, if Ewing should be
elected it would be interpreted throughout
the country as an expression on the part Of
the people of Ohio that they want resump
ton suspended and a new food of ire
deemable paper money issued. You
can not vote for men without vot
ing for the principles of which they are the
type. The effect of the election of Ewing
would be felt disastrously in every Cham
ber of Commerce, every counting room
and every shop in the country. Mr.
Meeker wanted to plow some Indian land
The Indians forbade him. He attempted
it, and they drove him off. He called fol-
assistance and Major Thornburgh, on the
way to aid him in his plowing, was attacked
was himself killed, and his command
lost In killed and wounded about.fifty men
and came near being annihiated. Troop
were hurried up from various parts, and TIN
command rescued. In consequence, ther'
has been great outcry against the Indians
in general, and against the peace policy.
But is it not necessary to inquire first wha
right Agent Meeker had to plow that land
and why lie should persist, and call Oh th
army to aid him to plow that piece of land
