Tildens nomination; in fact there
are not more than half dozen Dem
ocrats in the county seriously opposed
to him, the author Of the letter in this
issue signed Democrat being the
chiefest among them. We are natur
ally opposed to compromise, and
feel the greatest repugnance to yield
ing to the dictation OF the plaguey
Irishman, John Kelley, but it is evil
dent that something will have to he
done to unite the party in New York,
or that State will he lost to us, and he
ing lost. our hopes for the election Of
the next President are lost. We have
all along been for Mr.. Tilden, and arc
for him yet IL he can carry New
York, but how he can do il, with the
avowed Tammany opposition, as mean
and as hateful as is that opposition, is
mbit indu VIC thn Stt w n'N9Nh''
Will the Coarier,Journal answer this
question. II it will, satisfactorily,
we promise to use our utmost endeav.
ors, small though they be, for the
honest old Sage of Gramercy Park.
IT. the Mountain Echo can he relied
on and it generally can, X. ;. Chevis,
late editor of the Mt. Sterling Dem
ocrai, is beautiful specimen of hui
manity to run against Tom Turner,
for Congress. On the representation
that he was going to begin the publ
cation of newspaper in Barbour
vile, he succeeded in getting loan
to the amount of several hundred dol.
lars from w. X. Ballenger. Then
the great temperance orator and
would.be Congressman set out ostensi-
bly, to purchase an outfit, but several
months having passed, and nothing
being heard of Chevis or the money,
Mr.. b. set out to trace him up. He
found him in Frankfort and, as might
have been expected, all the money but
$40 had been lost in gambling while
on drunken sprees. Mr.. Chevis should
be promptly arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses, the more
especially as he attempts to hold po-
sition among the profession.
The New York Sun is evidently
endeavoring to start boom for the
Hon. David Davis. In It's issue Of
last Monday, it devotes six columns
of its pace to a record of his lie and
his many grand achievement. The
great objection to him as Presi
dental candidate is that he is not
enough Of a party man. We tried
Horace Greeley once on an alleged
Independent ticket, with what success
we all know to our chagrin.
The Danville Tribune, which, with
out the Republican campaign fund,
could not, perhaps, live six weeks,
says with great pomposity that it does
not intend to sign any petition to
Congress to reduce the tariff on paper,
type, or anything else, but would, if
ask that il be made higher.
II is easy To put on such airs when
somebody else foots the bill; We who
have to run our papers on their mer-
its cannot afford them.
TIE House very foolishly rejected
the amendment requiring the surplus
TO work ON the improvement
NJ the Kentucky river, and have at last
passed n bill appropriaiing $3.50, 900
10 build a branch Penitentiary at any
point selected by the Commissioners.
They are to buy not less than 200 nor
more than 600 acres of land ON which
he buildings are TO be erected. Iii
more than likely that the bill will he
reconsidered.
HoS. j. b. HAwLEY, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, has resign
ii to make the race for Governor of
Illinois. Sherman, his superior, is
,andidate for President, but he holds
m with death grip to his Office. and
,oes around electioneering, notwiih.
tanding the Civil Service Order No.
!. lie evidently was brought up with
he idea Of never giving up good
hing for the uncertainty Of n better.
