How mich better il would be- for Mr.. Til

nation. not merely because ne IS the victim
Of fraud but because he has been

makes him sort of political martyr aud

better pose as martyr-an equestrian martyr
if that would be pleasing to him-than to
me standing oil at one side sucking his
thumbs and whining that he ought to have
the Presidency because he has been once
cLc,tad out Of IL. His fame can stand his
being dcfIaudcd, but the charge unreiuted
that ne and his intimates undertook and
failed TO carry out a fraud. will be
very damaging. lie is entitled to the

person will dispute that; but it seems

ever could be by having lost 1t as the victim
of fraud.
We say then that if he needs vim
dicotion it is not ia having been
defroudcd. but as having been falsely
and hbcllously charged with attempt
inc TO dcfraud other people. 1t Is due to ms
fame that his advocates shift their ground,
and demand his nomination as certificate OF
character to which he is justly entitled. As
,he case now stands, a refusal to r.
nominate him can have 10 other significance
to posterity than that his party had lost
confidence in him on account OF the cipher
exposures aud other questionable transactions.
The effort in behalf OF his nomination ut least

LET us then have these thing in their due
order. The ground for demanding Mr.. Til

Inv which they can vindlcato and show

The mail agents on the Winona
and St. Peter railroad make COM
plant that business men of this city
are in the frequent habit of mailing
at the cars, as circulars and at cir
cular rates, matter which is properly
subject to full letter rates. 1t
should be understood by the public
that it is the duty of all postal agents
in whose hands such underpaid mat
ter falls to examine and rate up the
deficiency for collection on delivery.
Thus, if a letter is mailed with only
a one cent stamp upon it, the receiv.
er is required to pay the deficiency
occasioned by the ignorance or pc
nuriousness of the sender, as the
case may be. Heretofore, the De
partment has required the deficit to
be doubled on collection, bnt new
ruling has changed this. 1t is prop.
Ter to state, also, for the information
Of whom it may concern, that letters
mailed with less than one full rate
of postage cannot properly be for
warded in the mails. It is the duty
of agents to return them to the wri
ter or send them to the Dead Letter
Office. So that business men should
for their own safety, exercise more
care in payment of postage thar
many of them appear to do Vino

The elections to be held in Ohio
and Indiana next Tuesday are looked
forward to with intense interest by
both the great political parties as in
a measure determining the result of
the Presidential contest. In Ohio,
since the Maine election, the Repub-
licans have been earnestly at work,
and thorough canvass of the State
has been made, and Ohio may now
be safely counted, on for fair Re-
publican majority. In the congress
sional fight the Republicans are re-
ported as gaining ground rapidly,
and anticipate gain of four con-
gressmen. In Indiana, the Republi-
cans are very hopeful, notwithstand-
ing the continued importation of
fraudulent Democratic voters from
Kentucky and other Southern States.
Leading Republicans claim to have
information that the recent Demo
cratic poll of the State was far from
satisfactory, and that the division
nong the Democrats resulting from
PERSONAL differences and widely di-
vergent political interests is more
deeply seated throughout the State
than was anticipated. The Repub-
licans have at least an even chance
of carrying the State.

Mcclellan was nominated, Hancock

ton that he was made brigadier in
the regular army. When l was made
general, Stanton told me it was a
compliment to me, and that 1 would

The other Sunday the superinten-

questioning the pupils on a subject
Of the lesson. Among the questions
asked was, "Whcn God found out
that Adam and Eve had sinned in
the Garden, what did he do?" A
little fellow in the rear of the room
was just too anxious to reply; his
glistening eye and frame attracted
the attention of the questioner, and
unfortunately he was greeted with a
nod indicating that he might answer.
With a voice, the echoes of which
could be heard far off on the distant
commons, he shouted, "Gavc 'cm

this was perfectly Ineligible and
satisfactory, but to few it had to
be explained that it was street Arab

from the Garden.-Troy Times.
