The Washington Star says editor
tally: "The confidence with which
Speaker Randall expresses the opin-
ion that Tilden will be nominated on
the first ballot at Cincinnati will 90
a great ways toward convincing peo-
pie that there is more in the Tilden
boom than is generally reported.
Mr.. Randall has the reputation of
being a l~ong-headed politician, and
he would not be likely to make such
a positive declaration about Tilden
unless he had a basis for it. The
fact, too, that Tilden usually
achieves what he sets out for in pol
itics, tends to confirm MI. RandalT's
prediction. It was said that the
Usage of Grammercy Park would
be beaten in New York, but he quiet
ly pocketed the delegation without
any trouble. It was then claimed
that he would be crushed in Penn
sylvania, but the Convention did not
hurt him any,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
Nav. 9Th 1880.

ra m-
Another veto is to be added to
ME- Hayes already long list. The
Immediate deficiency bill was opera
ted on by him yesterday. His OBJ
ljections are dotted as follows: I am
firmly convinced that appropriation
bills ought not to contain any legis-
lation not relevant to the application
or expenditure of the money that is
appropriated, and that by a strict
adherence to this principle al i'm
portant and much needed reform
twill be accomplished.
That he is utterly insincere in this
is established by the fact that on
the same day he opposed the Army
Appropriation bill, which also had a
rider; and by the further fact that
every appropriation bill for which he
voted while in Congress had O rider
upon it. The better opinion among
Democrats is that the money cover
led by the bill, except that for the
pay Of special deputy marshals shall
be voted promptly and those mar
shals be provided for on a separate
bill to which the "rider" shall be at
tached.
But four appropriation bills have
become laws, viz, the Pension, For
LITIGATION, Army and Navy bills.
Three bIlls-the Indian, Consular
and Diplomatic and Military Acad-
emy-are in conference.
The District of Columbia appro,
priation bill has passed the House,
and is now before the Senate. The
consider alton of the Post Office ap.
preparation bill was commenced il
the House yesterday. The River
and Harbor bill was reported to the
House yesterday.
The legislative, executive and ju.
dicial, the sundry Civil and the Gen.
eral Deficiency bills are not yet re.
ported.
There will probably be at least
one million more added to the River
and Harbor bill which, as reported
covers over eight millions. It is al
ways necessary to pass, this enormi
ty under a suspension of the rules
requiring a two-thirds vote, and any
member who thinks his District has
not been 'let in" for enough can al
ways have matters made right.
The larger the bill the more east
ly it can be passed. The resolution
introduced sometime since in the
House, fixing a day for adjournment
will be called up this week.
The anti-Third Term movement
is everywhere more potent on paper
than in the hearts of the people. 1t:
conventions are fzzles, and its dis
discussions mere yapor. One breath
of common sense will blow the whole
thing away as SO much chaf.

The Democratic Central Commit
tee of Preble County didn't think it
necessary to call a meeting of the
democrats of the county to select
delegates to the State convention.
The selection of a candidate for the
Presidency being a matter of little
Importance, of course the Democrats
of the county are perfectly satisfied
with the action CT the committee.
Register.
No, it didn't, and but few counties
in the State did call a Convention,
simply because it was a busy season
of the year and another one must
soon be called for the State conven-
tion to nominate q State ticket. The
sentiment of a majority of the dem
ocrats Of this county for the Presi-
dency, is well known, it is TILDEN-
and no "corner" can be made on that
question. However, the democrats
of this county are ready to support
the nominee of the Convention, be
that whom it may, in the hope that
the country may be taken from the
control of Presidential robbers and
treasury thieves.

rur nemocratic State Convention

The Democratic State Convention
which met at Columbus last Thurs
day, in point of ability and number,
was probably as fine an assembly as
ever met in Ohio. From all PARTS
of the State the Democrats had sent
their ablest and best men, not in the
interest particularly of the different
candidates who have been mention
in connection with the Presidency,
or for the purpose of representing
different factions, but for the pur-
pose of promoting harmony and of
representing the interests of the
Democracy in general, and right well
was the work done. The best of
feeling characterized its whole pro-
ceedings, and while there were a
large number in attendance at the
Convention, whose personal prefer
ences for the Presidency are other
than our able and faithful Senator,
ALLEN @. THURMAN, the instructions
of the Convention to the Delegates
to vote for him as the choice of
Ohio, were received with satisfaction
and harmony, and whether the de-
cision of the Cincinnati Convention
shall be Ohio's favored candidate or
TILDEN, it is the duty of every good
Democrat to abide by that decision
and give up individual preferences
for the sake o fsuccess. The Empire,
with Grant at its head, is marching
|, on apace, and it becomes US as pat
riots to rally round the standard Of
the Republic and save the liberties
for which our forefathers bled. Lei
every Democrat in the land arouse
from the lethargy and indifference
which the lack ef success, through
many years has woven about him
and nerve himself for one grand, no
BILE, heroic struggle for civil liberty
and constitutional government
They that would be free themselves
must strike the blow, and we verify
believe that a crisis is about to b.
precipitated upon our country, which
will call forth the highest and holi
est duties of patriots.
i Fellow Democrats, cease your sci
fish strife and prepare to give the
candidate whom the Cincinnati Con
vention, in its wisdom shall nomi
nate, your unanimous and hearty
, support, and then let the Monarch
lists rage as they will the victory vii
| be ours, and liberty and union, peace
and prosperity shall prevail, and tn,
great crime of 1876 be rebuked.

the majority in the Executive and
Legislative departments of the gov
eminent or not. Unfortunately for
the Grant stalwarts Grant himself
has not been playing very squarely
into their hands lately He has no
abuse for the South. He does not
dwell in his speeches on "Briga-
diers," 'Ku-Klux" and "White Lea
Iguers." He is rather inclined to
extend the olive branch. Speaking
of his Southern tour he recently
said:
It has been my good fortune to
have just passed through a little bit
of every one of the Southern States
lately in rebellion, and it is crafty
ling to me, and I know Il will be to
Ayou, that in every n of them scenes,
decorations, and speeches were much
the same as I've have and see to-day.
The stars and stripes were floating
everywhere. A great portion of the
speakers in every instance were men
who in the conflict wore the gray;
and the speeches which they made
show their present devotion to the
flag for which we fought, and which
is all we asked of them-that they
should respect and honor the flag
and become good citizens, and here
latter, if it should be assailed by 8
foreign foe, that they should unite
with us as one people. From the as
surances they give I believe they are
sincere, and I hope they expressed
the sentiments of the great majority
for united as n people, united a:
) generous rivals in building up oul
several States for the whole Union
and in a feeling loyalty for that flag
we are a great people, the creates
people in the whole world.
After Grant has been nominated
however, he will quietly stand bacl
and let Blaine, Sherman and tn,
,Jrest of them wave the bloody shirt il
his behalf. He will be used as tn,
Exponent of prescription, and tn
whole Republican party will ride
tilt at the spectre of rebellion ant
7 state rights as fiercely as Don Quix
! ote ever rode at a wind mill.

*Hamilton cot nty.
G1.dDhic SAYS:

The Graphic says:
The five Pennsylvania bribers
were yesterday pardoned, or, to be
technically correct, the portion of
their respective sentences which i'm
posed solitary confinement in the
penitentiary at labor was RENTED.
! This hasty action is to be regret
tied. Bribery has become a fine art.
None of these men regarded it as
wrong to use money to pass a bill
through the Legislature. Indeed,
there is a large school of casuists in
this country who think It right, or,
at least, do not think it wrtng, to
bride a man to ''do his duty" The
four Of the Pennsylvania bribers con
fessed their guilt, and the fifth was
convicted after an impartial trial.
There is not and could not be the
slightest doubt that the conviction
of these mem was just. Their pun
ishment was by no means too great
for their. guilt. The Board of Par
dons lay stress on the Judges i'm
posing a heavier punishment than
1.-THE language of the law justified. If
he had, why did not the Board remit
the portion of the sentence not a
ranted by. the law and order the re-
mainder to be executed? Or, better
still, if an Illegal sentence had been
imposed, why did not the Board de-
cline to interfere, and leave the pris-
oners' counsel to their remedy by
habeas corpus and writ of error?
Tweed's counsel found ample redress
in the courts of this State against an
illegal sentence without asking a
pardon for the Tammany statesman.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
Perhaps the Board of Pardons
thought it too bad to make these
Pennsylvania gentlemen such sud
den scapegoats. The offense of brib-
cry is certainly a crime, and a mean
one; but it's punishment is the ex-
ception instead of the rule. The
Board of Pardons may have thought
so sudden a transition from apathy
to the extreme of indignant virtue
rather more than the case demanded.
So long as the United States Court
contains men guilty of the twin
crime of perjury we cannot expect
that a properly rigorous sentiment
will obtain in this respect. Old Joe
Bradley and his infamous associates
were not only guilty of perjury in
1876, they we're guilty of at least
constructive bribery. What can be
expected of State legislators when
the Supreme Bench of the nation
contains men willing to sell their
very souls for a mess of political pot
tage? A conviction and sentence to
to prison of bribe-takers was some
thing gained. 1t shows that @ pub
lie sentiment is at work that will
eventually render it impossible for
men in high places to be- false to
their oaths without the certainty of
adequate punishment. When that
time comes old Joe Bradley will get
a new lease of infamy-the people
will appreciate his crime better than
they can under the Radical regime,
which has N ade corruption and chi
eanery the rule of official conduct,
and tended to deaden the moral sense
of the public.

There ere a few Delegates from
the Fourth District disposed to imi-
tate the insane and crazy ultraism
of the crazy John Kelly, and de-
manded that their Delegates should
not support Mr.. TILDEN at any time
il the National Convention for the
Presidency, but it is very gratifying
to know that such intolerance and
bigotry was confined to a very small
corner of the Convention, and that
the Delegates who submitted to be
padlocked and sent as automatons,
will be lost sight of at an early pc
Rod of the business.

No amount of hair splitting can
excuse the disqualification of the

"That nothing in this provision
shall be construed to preventive use

The debatable States Of the North

The debatable States of the North
are, New York, New Jersey, Ohio,
Indiana, Oregon and Nevada, and
they will decide the Presidential con-
test. It may be set down that the
Democrats are sure of 1873 electoral
votes and the Republicans IA. It
takes 1S5 to elect. The Democrats
need AZ votes more than they are
sure of and the Republicans Al. The
81 doubtful votes will depend large
ly on the respective candidates.

Grant means business. He says
that he will be nominated at Chicago
and elected sure. The "Duke of

all the corruptions of Radicalism in
his interest. aided by millions of

That the administration of Gene
raj Grant was the most corrupt and
predicate of any President this coun-
try ever had, is one of the strongest
inducements for a portion of the
Republican leaders to favor him. 1t
is inst that kind Of amsn they want,
and if they can get enough of those
who admire him as a man to join
them, they hope to nominate and
elect him. The first they will accom-
plish, the latter they will not.
