The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-05-06


It has been settled that Postmas-
ter General KEY is to retire from the
Cabinet of the Presidential Fraud, in
lieu of which he has been rendered
the vacant place of the United States
Judgeship for the eastern and mid
die districts of Tennessee, and &C
cepted it. It is well known that Mr..
Hayes has been for a long time anx-
ious to get rid of Judge Key, as his
presence in the Cabinet was resented
by the Republican leaders. When
Hayes abandoned his Southern pol
ICY at the dictation of the Stalwarts,
the position of Key in the Cabinet
as the "erring brother" became rath
er awkward to the Fraud as well as
unpleasant to himself. The Repub-
lican leaders demanded that he
should go, because if the coming
campaign is to be fought on the old
sectional issues, the fact of an ex-
rebel being in a Republican Frauds
Cabinet made things awkward. Mr..
Hayes would not cut him adrift with
out providing for him and so the
matter rested until the death OF
Judge Trigg of the Tennessee Court
left a comfortable position in which
to put Judge Key.

AMONG OUR
The Simple Facts.
New York SIM.

NOh 4OIh gum.
Probably no other prominent man
of u day has been the subject at
once of so much enmity and so much
nonsense in the newspapers and
among politicians as Mr.. Samuel J..
Tilden; but he still lives, and, for
aught we know, he may be perfectly
happy.
The public lave been told a hun
dred thousand times last falls cleo
tion in the State of New York killed
MI. Tilden. Ever since that event,
however, his antagonists in the press
and elsewhere have been steadily la
boring to overthrow the dead man;
and they all now tell us that the
State Convention of the Democracy
which assembled at Syracuse Tues
day, and which doubtless contains a
body of Democrats as patriotic and
as intelligent as any ever brought
together in this State, was made up
of his friends; and hence it seems as
to become evident that the immense
majority of the constituencies there
represented must be zealously in
favor of his nomination for the Pres
idency.
Is this the result of shrewd man
agement? Is it the effect of barrels
of money? Are such hostility and
such assaults as have been poured
out upon Mr.. Tilden to be overcome
by mere political trickery, OF set
aside by purchase or sale?
To ask these questions is to an
swer them. The Democracy of New
York adhere to Mr.. Tilden solely and
exclusively because he was elected
President of the United States in
1876, and because he and they were
cheated out of that election. And
they are for his nomination now not
because they love him personally,
but because they believe in the right
of elf-government, and wish to win
dictate that right in 1880 in the most
emphatic manner possible.

The county auditors of Ohio held
a meeting at Columbus on the 10th
Of last month, and discussed the
question of taxation. Their atten-
ton was called to a late decision of
the United States Supreme Court
which declared that the constitution
of Ohio required property within the
State to be assessed according to
some uniform rule Of taxation. In
certain counties real estate has been
assessed for several years at 80 per
cent, which, of course, resulted in
shifting the burden of making up
the deficiency caused thereby upon
taxpayers residing in other coun-
ties. The meeting adopted a reso-
luton to the effect that it was prac-
ticable to assess real estate at its
true value.

The New York Herald wants to
know whether the Republicans will
nominate the ex-President. 1t thinks
it will be a curious spectacle if the
people of the United States make a
great stride toward Imperialism at a
moment when France is becoming
more republican, and when England
has just given such signal evidence
of a powerful reaction against imper-
al tendencies. The Herald should
not forget that the Republican party
has only been kept in existence by
the practice of undemocratic WAYS.
If it we're a popular party like the
Democratic it would have gone un
der long ago. 1t cannot trust a sin
gle canvass to normal constitutional
methods. 1t must have the aid OF
prescription, o. troops at the polls,
or partisan election boards, or ii
cannot dream of success. Had these
influences been wanting the Repub.
lican party would have cut a sorry
figure in 1864, 1868, 1872 and 1876
The nomination of Grant would be
the most logical thing the party
could do. Grant and the third tern
are the quintcssence of Radicalism.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., |
April 28th. 1880. {

It is certain that much more in
terest attaches to the Democratic
State Convention, which meets to-
day, than was excited by that of New
York. This is partially explained
by the popular idea that New York
is safe for the party in almost any
event, while ultimate harmony and
a very judicious Presidential nomi-
nation will alone give the party a
hope Of carrying Pennsylvania. At
this writing there is hardly any in
dication of what the Harrisburg
Convention will do, but 1 find Demo
Gratis here are generally hopeful of a
harmonious result of its delibera-
| tions.
The other Convention of import
ance held to-day is that of the Re-
publicans. Between that and the
Pennsylvania Convention, Congress
is stripped of a large number OF
its members.
But the proceedings of Congress
will attract less attention, between
this time and adjournment, than for
the last four or five months. The
Republican nomination is generally
considered already secured by Grant,
and the Conventions soon to be held
will probably give equal certainty as
to the Democratic selection. The
Presidential battle will commence
early this year. Congress will then
probably see the propriety of attack.

We are not particularly the advo-
cate of SAMUEL j. TILDEN for the
Presidency-we prefer a western
man if we could get one, because We
are entitled to it, but if those Demo
Gratis who oppose the denomination
of Mr. TILDEN on account of him not
taking possession of the Presidency
when elected before, would jog their
memory just a little, about nine out
of every ten would find that they
had favored the Electoral Commits
sion which was the prime cause of
TILDEN being cheated out of the Of
fee to which the people had elected
him. Advocates of the Electoral
Commission should place the blame
where it properly belongs, and not
seek TILDEN's relegation as atone
ment for their own folly.

It is reported from Washington
that MI. Hayes will veto the defci-

that makes the assistant Deputy
Marshals n~on-par.isan and appoint

prepared, and offered by General
Garfield, the leader of the Republi-
cans in the House. Nevertheless, be
cause it prevents the Republicans
from surrounding the polls with their
own partisan deputies, hired to and
expected to do partisan work, it is
demanded of Hayes that he veto the
bill; and he is weak and cowardlv
enough to obey.
