Tammany vs.. Tilden.
The following is a portion of the
resolutions adopted by the Tammany

The following is portion of the
resolutions adopted by the Tammany
Democrats on last Tuesday:
I'VE protest against the degeneration
of the Democratic organization into Il
machine for the interest of one man and
his personal following. Tilden is per-
sonalism, which is false to the Democracy
and dangerous to the republic. We pro-
test against the nomination of Samuel j..
Tilden for the Presidency, because he is
unfit for the office; and his election to it
would be calamity, and because his
nomination would defeat and disgrace
the party beyond recovery, and because
his nomination would deliver the country
to another four years of Republican ex-
travagance and misrulc. We protest
against his nomination because his record
is not clears; because his political career
has been marked with seltishness, trcach-
ery and dishonor; because he has lost re-
spect, confidence and friendship of many
of the best men in the party to whom it
looks for guidance; because he has dam
aged the Democracy more than any other
man in the country; because his name is
irretr;evably connected with the attempts
to bribc electors and the scandals brought
to light by the cipher dispatches; because
hundreds of thousands of Democrats can
not cOnscientiously vote for him, and his
nomination would sound the kneN OF
Democratic defeat"

A Terrible Cycl8ne in Missoari-.-Oyer
One Hundred People Kiiled--.Immense
Destruction OF Property.

On Sunday evening last, one of the
most destructive cyclones on record Wis
tied Marshfield. the county seat of Web
ster county, 215 miles southwest of St.
Louis, Missouri.
After passing through several miles of
country in Christian, Green and Webster
counties, destroying everything in its
pathway-dwelling houses, barns, mills.
timber-it struck the town of Marshtield
about $50 Pm.
An eye witness of the approaching
storm says it was a frightful looking
black cloud, lined with tleecy white, fun
nel-shapcd clouds, and moving in the
manner of screw propeller. 1t moved
with wonderful velocity. literally destroy
ing and blowing away everything in its
path, which was about half a mile wide
at this point. Large sized trees were
twisted off, telegraph wires snapped, and
the bark literally peeled from small trees.
Houses were blown from their founda-
tons, cattle, hogs, sheep, horses and
poultry whirlcd into the air and carried a
great distance. The noise of the storm,
the crash of falling houses and cries and
screams of terrified people, made scene
of horror that beggars description. What
was beautiful. peaceful, quiet town of
$40 people, is now a waste of desolation.
Out of 200 dwelling houses not more than
twenty are left standing, and bnt four OF
these remaining are uninjured. OF the
business houses around the public square,
all but three are utterly demolished, and
their contents blown away, burned or
badly damaged.
The loss by this terrible calamity is es-
timated at $350,0o0 to 100000. Every
business holsc in the place is in ruins.
and stocks all destroyed, except two. OF
the 800 inhabitants of Harshiield, seven
eighths are without houses, clothing,
food, or means to secure them. The eG-
act number of killed is not far short CT
100. The number seriously wounded is
about 80.
On the same day there we're also severe
wind storms in Rock county, Wisconsin,
in the central part of Illinois, and at
Lawrence, Kansas.

There were two Democratic State
conventions held in New York on
last Tuesday. The one was run by
the friends of Til,len who elected a
delegation TO Cincinnati in his favor
They insist that he twas defraudci
of the fruits of his victory i'll 1873,
BY a 4 false count of the electoral
votes," and demand that that shall be
the prominent issue in the next Pres.
ilential campaign. The other con
vcntion was composed of Tammany
Democrats who denounced Tildcn III
the most bitter language and de
clared themselves bitterly opposed
to his nomination because it ''wouId
bring dcfet and disgrace to the par
ty beyond recovery" The chances
for the Republicans carrying New
York next November are very en-
couraging.

The interest manifested among
Republicans in regard to the candi-
date that may be nominated for
Congress in this district is an excel
lent indication that they mean to re-
deem the disaster of two years ago.
The names of several prominent and
able gentlemen have been mentioned
in this connection, any one of whom
would make a good representative.
The claims and qualifications OF those
who aspire to fill the position should
be carefully canvassel, and the man
who would be strongest before the
people should be selected. A good
nomination, without any discord In
the party, will add much strength to
the entire ticket, and will render GER

Pat Dolan's Spicy Response to Request
to Make HeE. the Subject Of 4
Lecture.

The following is the reply of Col.
Donan, of The Deadwood Pioneer,
to the ladies of the Episcopal church,
upon being, requested by them to
deliver lecture entitled "W omen":
Ladies': Your complimentary re-
quest does me great honor, and | ac-
cede to it with pleasure. The subject
you suggest is the one of all others [
should have chosen to talk upon. 1t
is one which a true mans heart never
grows weary of. Woman is the
crown jewell of the universe, crca-
TONS masterpiece in calico wrap
per. Even omnipotence had to prac-
tice q week on suns, moons and stars,
man, monkeys, angels and seraphs
before it attempted to manufacture
her, and took its first days rest after
the exhausting job was completed.
From the primeval specimen Of the
race who, by little Irritation with
Bcelzebub under the pippin tree in
Eden, got her husband discharged
from his situation as gardener, and
kicked over the fence into the briar
patches of the unknown world, to
Mary of Bethlehem, Helen of Troy,
Elizabeth and Victoria of England,
Joan of Arc, Susan Is. Anthony and
Lucy Stone, through six thousand
years of human history, sin, folly,
fun and sorrow, she has been proven
bially at the bottom of every devil
try and at the top of every charity,
last at the cross and first at the sep
ulchrc. Her broomstick waves like
England's drumstick, triumphant
round the globe.
And yet how little we men know
of her, how dimly we understand,
how poorly we appreciate her. Sole
feminine spirit of the universe,
mother and mistress of the world,
but century or two ago her only
alternative was to be slave or q
plaything; and to-day her status and
rights are little better defined
among New Workers, Missourians,
Nebraskians, Minnesotians, and Da-
kotaians, than among the Kickapoos,
Sitting Bull Sioux, Turks or Algc-
rians.
shall endeavor, in compliance
with your request, to shed a few new
rays of light ON this most discussed
but least understood, most necessary
but least appreciated, sweetest and
most puzzlesome of all themes ter
restrial, next Tuesday evening, March
9th. shall handle it gently, pathet.
ically, sentimentally, satlrically, lu-
dicrously, reverently and sensibly.
Hoping that no coroner's inques
may, as result Of my efforts, return
q verdict of Bored to DEATH" in
regard to any of those who are un.
fortunate enough to compose my au
diencc,
] lam, ladies, with the profoundest
regard, Yours very sincerely,

THE GAZETTE.
VIM. B. HERRIOII,
Editor.

From present indications at Wash
ington, Mr.. Washburn is likely to
retain his seat, as the more the Dem
ocrats learn of Donnelly's methods
of accomplishing his purposes, the
more insight do they get into the
mans character. 1t is now thought
that there will be but little difficulty
in connecting Donnelly and Finley
with the authorship of the anony-
nous letter sent Mr.. Springer: chair
man of the election committee, in
which it was intimated that he would
receive a bribe by voting for Mr..
Washburn. An Investigation will
be had in few days, when doubtless
there will be some rich develop

Opinions az the Press In The Second Dis.
trict on tie Congressional Nomination.

The Glencoe Enterprise says Cor
don f. Cole sis one of the most com
netent and able men in the district" "
The Pennington Press believes
there can be no objection urged
against Cole, and if nominated he
will be elected.
The Lake City Lea.ger says Mr..
Coles candidacy gives great salts
faction, and that he would poll a
heavy vote in Wabasha county.
The Red Wing Republican is in
favor of the nomination of Hon.
Martin S. Chandler, who has been
Sheriff of Goodhuc county for twcn-
ty-two years.
The Northiield -Ne'cs says Mr..
Coles candidacy is fully indorsed by
the Republican press, and many
Democrats conccdc his eminent quail
ifications, and that his election would
be an honor to the party, Rice coun-
ty and the State.
From the New Tim Review.
The Faribault Republican and the
st. Paul dailies have started quite a
boom for Hon. Gordon z. Cole of
Faribault as the coming Republican
candidate for Congress from this
district. Mr.. Cole is good man,
and would serve the district with
credit if nominated and elected, but
there are other men in the district
equally as worthy, and we cannot
approve the course of the Pioneer
Press in bolstering up Cole by be-
lifting the othcrprobablc candidates,
principally Major Strait. We can.
not say authoritatiyely whether the
major will again be a candidate OF
not, but should he conclude to enter
the field he will have many warm
supporters, and will stand an equal
chance with the other candidates of
receiving the nomination. Although
not talkcr, he is jealous worker,
and the interests of the district did
not suffer while he was a member OF
Congress, and We think the sneers
thrown out by the Pioneer Press are
ill-timed and will certainly work Mr.
Cole no good. Mr.. Chandler of Red
Wing is also prominently named as
a candidate, and we understand with
his consent. We notice by some Of
our exchanges that Col. Pfander Of
this city is also named as probable
candidate, as is also ex-Gov. Austin
Either of the foregoing named gen
tlemen would be elected if nomina
ted, and would represent the district
creditably.

A Sketch OF Judge Cook.

The Ne,cs and Courier says of ex-Judge
Cooke: Judge Cooke is native ofSoulh
Carolina. In 1874 he was elected Judge
of the Eighth Circuit, and served upon
the bench until the expiration of his
term of Office in 1873. He was elected
Judge by Republican Legislature as a
member of the Republican yarty, defeat
ing Gen. MCGOWAN, who was the Demo
cratic candidate and his strongest oppo-
nent. He continued to act with the Re-
publican party until the autumn of 1876.
when he declared that he could not sup
port such nominees as Chamberlain and
Elliott, and at the meeting in Abbeyille
In September renounced his allegiance
to the party of plunder and became a
most bitter and uncompromising Demo
crat. In 1873 he failed to be reelected
Judge, and went into the canvass in
Greenviile County as candidate for
member. of the Legislature and was elec.
ted by Democratic votes. He safe in the
Legislature at the sessions of 1873 and
1879, and at the opening of the present
campaign published card declining to
become candidate for office, alleging
that the Democratic party had not Kept
faith with him. He IL now q candidate
for the State Senate, and will be suppor-
ted by the Greenback, Independent and
Radical voters of GreenyilIe County.
Even with this support he canpot be
elected, but his present desertion of
the Democracy shows how much faith
can be placed in the declarations of
such man as he has proved himself to
be.
On the bench and Off it, Mr.. Cooke
was brilliantly successful as judicial
alcoholometer. Leading lawyers hold
that, in other respects, he failed conspic.
uously. But he delivered mauldin lee
lures on temperance to the disgust of the
grandjuries to whom they were addressed.
In the Legislature he did not originate O
single measure of any public good, and
made only third. rate member. The
object nearest his pericadium was to OBJ.
tain payment of somc arrears of sal.
ary as Judge which he claimed were
due.
While the Radical party was IL cover
Judge Cooke was in full Fellowship with
the thieves and assassins of the period.
In 1876 lie was a pronounced Democrat
partisan, and as long as offices were plen-
tifu! he claimed connection with this
party, but now he has thrown off his dis.
guise. and like the COW of the scrininrea.
has returned to his walIowing in the
mire. He.affec.e6 TO be politically honest
in '76 because he thought that would be
the cheapest way to make q living, and
now he hopes to get into Office again by
tu-ing his coat and going against the
Farty he claims to have helped to get in
to power. He stands before the country
in his true light at last, and is unworthy
OF thesupport of either political party or
Of any intelligent voter. IL were better
to give over the government to the Rad
ical party Mt once than bestow public
offices upon, moral and political uncer.
tainty of the type of T. H. Cooke.
