Tilden's letter is a puzzler.

Tilden's letter is a puzzler.
Gen. Garfield is at his home at Mentor,
Ohio.
| The number of pins and needles on which
the average democrat is now sitting is in
creasing every hour.
Gen Foster says that no democrat in Ohio
whose opinion is of value expects that that
| State can be carried for the democratic can
didate.
| Senator Hoar was given a dinner at the
Bay State House by the prominent republic
cans of Worcester upon his return home
from Washington.
| The local democratic paper makes the fol-
lowing suggestion to the party: "New York
is not absolutely essential to success. The
Presidency can be stolen without that State"
The Jewett and Tilden headquarters at the
Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, are connected BY
special wire with the residences of those
gentlemen in New York. Mr.. Hendricks
has established similar means of conmunica-
ton with his friends at the Burnett House,
and other candidates have made arrange
ments for private wires.
The Cincinnati Gazette says IN relation to
Mr.. Tildens letter THE withdrawal, or
pretended withdrawal, is so feeble, SO tear
full that no one will misunderstood the OBJ
ject 1t is shrewd document and no one
will question its paternity. Mr.. Tilden is
candidate. He will be presented to the con-

The Ohio delegation has entered into a
compact to vote as unit from the beginning
to the end of the convention, and was in
structed to vote for Thurman. The Enquirer
seems to fear that the delegates are going to
do something dishOnorable, and says that they
should not with indecent haste or suspicious
alacrity, abandon the name for which they
were commanded to vote.
The managers of the Cincinnati convention
tried to find democratic clergyman in the
city who would open the proceedings with
prayer. For a time they sought in vain, and
they were beginning to think that the only al
tentative lay between a Roman Catholic
priest and no prayer at all, when it was dis
covered that the Rev. DR.. Pratt, who preach
es in Music Hall, had the required political
opinions.

The republican State convention assem-

substantial in character. The work Of the
convention will be quickly and harmoni-
ously completed. There is no opposition
to Gov. Davis and he will be heartily re-
nominated by reclamation.
While the convention will lack the ex-
element of contested nomination. we
trust it will not lack that earnest charac-
ter necessary to successful campaign
in this important year. when the
election Of President of the United
States is pending. This must be
essentially working campaign. Beside
work upon the stump. by the press, and
by local committees, there must be a vast

RENTs.-The rents in Wilmington
have been very low for the past several
years and from an article in the GAZETTE
of Saturday. of conversations with our
most prominent real estate dealers, IL
there appears TO be a disposition TO favor a
slight increase of rents in this city. This
has been done in Reading, Chester and
other small cities. We do not think,
however, that the state of the mercantile
trade, or business generally will warrant
much increase of rents in this city
Profits on store goods have been light.
The people, 1t is true, have been very gem
orally employed during the year past.
But 1t is not unlikely that debts had been
contracted in the dull times which are to
be paid, and other circumstances render
1t hard TO pay over $40 or sl2 month, In
Reading houses have been raised from 81
to % a month. Here we think landhold
ers will be glad to get even al a month
more; and in most cases the same as last
year, where no repairs are required, from
prompt paying tenants. We know that
many gentlemen who own property pre-
ferred at Christmas not to warn-out
prompt paying tenants, who were careful
of their property.

BAYoNET LAW IN MAINE.-The wa

BAYONET LAW IN MAINE.-The war
spirit has not entirely subsidized in the
hearts OF our Republican rulers. They
trod upon the people who were favora-
BILE TO some peaceful solution of our late un
pleasantness, province until they had
learned to consider themselves the master
spirits and all who were opposed to them
politically as mere subjects, whom 1t was
their duty to bring to obedience. Hence as
soon as a difficulty occurs they from force
of habit. fly to the "bayonet," just as the
rulers of the Old World would do who
held their offices from the "divine right
of kings" and expect to remain In them
during a lifetime. Fortunately for the
Democrats in the Northern States, there
seems to be some spirit yet left in the Re-
publicans who are not in Office, and they
are getting tired of waiting to get turn.
This domineering sentiment In Maine by
Blaine and Hamlin drove away from the
Republican party in Maine the leaders of
the Maine Greenback party, and the lat
ters appeals to the Democrats for help
were very naturally responded to. The
Democrats had felt the oppressive dis
position of Blaine's and Hamlin's faction
already too long, and were glad to be
able to get away from 1t. while they did
not even approve OF greenback doctrines.
This was the cause of the late struggle in
Maine and on the part Of the opponents
OF Blaine and Hamlln, so long as they
kept within the letter OF the law they die
no more than it was natural for men to
do who had been under the heel of that
spirit which regards opponents as sub
jects. and to be put down by bayonets.
The Republicans had made the laws and
used them according to their very letter
upon their opponents for years past, and
therefore, they were debarred from ex-
pecting that their opponents would inter
pret them in any other mode when they
gottnto power. They first hoped to scare
Garcelon, who had been a Republican. by
threats of war and blood shed. But they
failed. Then like whining babes they
almost went into tears to have the laws
constructed to give them maiorities.
where the Returning Board by law could
not do it and not violate their oaths.
That the "Returning Board" laws are
odious we do not doubt. But 1t was Re-
publican fixture; and they should be
made to taste OF their own bad work.
That is the only way TO get 1t repealed.
altered or amended. This will not be
done by the Republicans; on the contrary,
II they succeed in securing the power
now, they will give even more advantage
to the Blaine and Hamlin faction
Democrats always sympathize with the
oppressed, because they have been op
pressed. But Democrats do not resort to
"bayonet law" they are ready always to
await that revolution by the ballot for
which twas introduced by the Fathers.
Even in Maine after the present odious
Returning Board system was adopted to
keep them out of power they waited un-
til the Radical faction broke their own
organization, and now 1t is the oppressed
and cheated of the Republicans and a
part of the Democrats who are worrying
Blaine and Hamlin.
