Democrats fight for Indiana and Ohio at
all, and then get beaten, the discOuragement
will be intense, no matter how carefully they
may strive to prepare public opinion for their
defeat. If they make no fight of Importance
in those States, so that it may be generally un-
dcrstoOd that they do not expect success from
Indiana, but from New-YOrk and other East
ern States, they will be apt to have against
them such tremendous and overwhelming
maioritics in October as to be more disheart-
cning than any ordinary defeat. In every
direction their chances Of success have been
greatly diminished by the sharp trick of Mr.
Hendricks and his friends, who seem to be

TIE CHANGES AGAINST GAREELD.

THE CIAEGES 1GAINSI GHHFIELD.
Within the past week an occasional cor
respondent has asked us to say something
about the Credit MObilcr and kindred charges
against General Garfield, with which the OPP
position press has been comforting itself We
have not been in haste to enter upon an un-
necessary defensive campaign, to which our
enemies so eagerly invite us, and we
still see 10 occasion for it. The com
mon law justly secures every man against
being tired for his life twice for the
same offence. Common sense on our part,
common justice to the accused, should
equally secure him against being twice tried
for what is dearcr than lifc-his personal
honor.
These charges, which the surprising excel
lepce of the Chicago nomination forced Demo-
Gratis to fall back upon as their only weapon.
are seven-ycars-Old charges General Garfield
has been tried upon them, deliberately and
exhaustively tried when the witnesses were
all alive when the whole American
people were aroused and attentive to
every minute detail, when the facts
were all before them as in the glare
of calcium light tired after, not before an
election, when even partisans became critical
and suspicious, and every influence tended to
the sevcrest Judgment. He was tried before
the most conscientious and the most cxactinS
Jury in the United States, the serious, God
fearing voters OF the old Joshua II. Giddings
Confessional District in Ohio. They set
Giddngs aside on suspicion. They de-
manded Garfield's own resignation on the
first report that by q single vote out
of n long series he had given incidental
mid to the Salary Grab. They tolerate no
moral flaw in their Representative. The case
was fist heard fully under oath in Washing
ton Then their Representative was brought
back face to face with them. They heard
him through They heard all his opponents
could say-heard it with infinitely more pre-
cision than is possible now, after the lapse Of
time, the death of witnesses, the loss OF color
and detail. Then they sat upon the case. The
result was verdict of acqulttal. They
sent their Representative back to Congress by
an overwhelming majority; they have kept
him there ever SINCE and they have increased
their majority for him every time they have
had chance to vote for him. To-day he rep
resents the Giddmgs District in Congress by
one of the largest majOritics that any Congress
man in the United States eau boast o.

"a black lump of flesh, Of whom neither law nor
man takes cognizance, nobody, in fact, but his
GOd-is dropped into hole dug by the side OF
the road where the gang is at work, and that is
the end of it. If anybody doubts this to be the
condition of affairs, let him go now through the
section of country in Georgia or the Carolinas
worked by these men. They crowd about the
cars, begging for food with wild eyes and
hunger bitten faces, and run to buy bread with
the pennies thrown to them, eating it like fam
ished dogs. Their keepers permit them to beg,
as it lessons the cost of keeping them alive. A
month or two ago two men. white and q
negro, were sentenced IN North Carolina for the
same offence, the white being the ringieader
and more guilty of the two. He was imme-
diately appointed overseer, and set whip in
hand to guard his comrade with the Others.
The black, being fellow of some shrewdness
and education, sent in protest against the in
justice, and the overseer on hearing of it shot
him dead. The Overscer still holds his place
unframed.
This is but one instance of the iniquities of q

New-York tribune., 1880-06-21

Mr.. Tilden has actually withdrawn from
the contest. There is no longer any doubt
about his attitude. His letter, of which we
have heard so much during the past few
DAYS. went on to Cincinnati in the pocket OF
his brother, and was transferred to that OF
Daniel Manning. chairman of the New ork
delegation, who read it TO the meeting OF
the delegates last night. 1t is sort OF
farewell address to the Democracy, combined
with an earnest exhOrtatiOn not to condone
fraud. In spite of the elaborate phraseOoGy
of The letter, there will remain n lingering
suspicion in the minds of Democrats, who
have been disposed to regard Mr. Tllden as a
sort of Old Man of the Sea fastened upon
the neck of their party, that he is not wholly
out of the fight, and that his name may yet
be thrown into the Convention II it should
fail to nominate after q few ballots. Nothing
but the actual nomination of some other man
will wholly dispcl this suspicion. The prediction
of some of Mr.. Tilden's followers in Cincinnati
that the letter, though declinati0n III
terms, would, in reality, be bid for the NOM
nation. is more than half fulfilled If the Con-
vention should get into snarl with its baker 5
dozen of candidates, and should straghtcn it
out by hurrah for the old ticket of 1876,
who can say that Tildcn would still decline,
or that he did not fOreSce just such result
when lie wrote the letter.
New-York tribune., 1880-06-21

The strength of Henry B. Payne IN ONO IS
greatly Overratcd by his party friends outside
of that State. They suppose that he must DC
remarkably popular because he was once
elected to Congress in a Republican district.
His election was in 1874, when Democratic
tidal wave, caused by the prevalent dlstrust
and dislike of the measures and men OF
Grants second administration. swept over the
country. Beside the advantage of that notable
revusion in public sentiment, he was aided
by the unpopularity of his Republican opponent.
Two years later, when politics i'll the Cieve-
land district returned to their normal condl-
ton, Mr.. Payne was candidate for re-
election, but was beaten by Amos Townsend,
whose majority was 1870. MIR. Payne get
no support in his second canvass outside DIS
own party. His course in Congress was
strongly partisan, placing him in Inc with
the Bourbon element and disappointing many
of his friends. If nominated at Cincinnati he
will get the Democratic vote Of Ohio, but he Will
have no more influence over Republican or In
dependent voters than would any other rich,
respectable Democrat in the State. The East
crn Democrats are evidently looking at Ar
Payne through q powerful telescope, which
considerably maGniies his availability as n
Presidential candidate.
New-York tribune., 1880-06-21

If Mr.. Tilden's decinatlOn is final. and covers
no concealed purpose of a contingent candl-
dacy. the contest will probably be fought out
between Randall, Payne, Field and Hendricks,
with the first two in the lead. Thurman
must be counted out because the East will not
take him with his recent sOft-mOney record
Hendricks could hardly bo placed in the list
of leading candidates if the Supreme Court OF
Indiana had not put the State election back
to It's old date in October. Payne would
have no strength to speak of were it not for
the support of Tiden, who evidently thinks
that the best way to carry New York, next TO
running himself, Is to nominate man about
whom the people of this State know little or
nothing. The Ohio delegation is strongly dis
inclined to drop Thurman for Payne. No one
among the minor candidates is making much
beadway. Jcwett is thought to be shelved.
The two or three New-Jersey aspirants arc
not spoken of as possibilities. Nobody seconds
the motion to bring forward Eaton. Nor
rison, Palmer and David Davis appear to
have disposed of each other. The open qucs-
ton concerning the action of the Convention
seems to be whether the Southern men, who
will probably control the nomination. what
ever they may say about their def
erence to the wishes of the North,
will take Tildcn's man, or will run the risk of
offending him by choosing Randall or Field,
either of whom they would prefer to

The attempt to assassinate the Shereef of
Mecca, reported in our foreign dispatches,
doubtless grew out OF the agitation now going
on throughout Arabia for the release of that
country from Turkish misrule. An English
traveller, who lately visited Mecca and spent
several months in the heart of Arabia, pre-
dicted an early and general uprising against
the Turks in an article published in late

Gle throws more light on the character of the
