T,,ae. aud she Democracy.
Virginia ,Sev J Chronicle. !


There is weighty reason for the re-
nomination by the Democratic party
Of Samuel j. TilGen. In 1876 he was
lawfully elected President by the ma.
jority Of the American people, and was
kept out OF Office by frauds so gross
and patent that none can now be found
to deny them. For the first time in
American history fraud triumphed
over the will OF the people, and q
stain was placed upon the national
honor. There is but one effective
means Of effacing that national dis
grace, and that is BY re.electing Sam.
uel j. Tilden. His reelection would
be u condemnation on the fraud OF
1876; his defeat would be IN approval
Of it. We think the question OF fraud
should be fairly submitted to the peo-
pie, and their final judgment demand.
cd. The shrcwdest Of Republican
leaders dread the denomination OF Til
den more than anything else, They
have dreaded j. from the moment when
the creature of fraud was installed in
the White House, three years ago.
This is why the party organs were in
structed to never cease their attacks
upon Mr.. Tilden, but to redouble them.
Republicans have often wondered why
the yirulent abuse of Mr.. Tilden
should be continued after he was rob-
bed of the Presidency. 1t is, as We
have stated, because tho Republican
leaders dread tho ordeal through which
their party will have to pass if Tilden
is again candidate of the Democratic
party. The Democrats may select
some other candidate. They may lind
an ADLER and more popular man than
Mr.. Tilden; but they can find no can
didate for whom such powerful ap-
peal can be made to honest, patriotic
and thoughtful men outside the ranks
of the Democratic party.

the Position Of Mr.. Tide n.

Mr.. Tilden has done nothing, is do
ing nothing aud will do nothing to
obtain the next democratic nomination.
If we stood in Mr.. Tilden's place, and
allowed personal feeling to have its
sway, we should refuse to touch that
nomination with forty foot pole. MIR.
Tilden il of much more importance to
the Democratic party than the party,
as a party, is to Mr.. Tildcn. 1t can
at most disgrace itself by rejecting q
man whom it knows only through his
services sacrifices and benefits, and
degrade itself by submitting to the
dictation of handful of factionists,
engineered by renegade Republican
who voted for Hayes. and marshalled
under the banners Of malignant,
who made terms with Conkling to lose
New York to the Democratic party.
Mr.. Tilden has no friends to reward
and no enemies he would 60 around
the corner to punish, He is beyond
the age OF a hot ambition. There is
much in his private life, and in his do.
nestle surroundings, to bless and
charm his declining years and he
can we'll afford to let an ungratet vi
party take doubtful. undesir'
able nomination wherever it
may please to take it. With him. it
it loses the leader who brought it its
one triumph in twenty years. and, also
the sole issue upon which it is practic'
ally united. With it, he loses merely
riff-raf of laundering politicians, who
after he had won them victory had
not the courage or the capacity to Sc.
euro it. Considered personally, there
is every reason why Mr., Tilden should
withdraw from an arena in which he
has been made the victim of such in
appreciation and injustice. But there
is principle involved which we hope
Mr.. Tildcn will consider and it is
this which warns those who think as
we do, that his nomination is indispeu-
sible, both to the honor and to the
success of the democratic party, and
that when the time comes, his nomina.
ton will be demanded no less by the
cxigencics Of the situation than by the
masses of the people who hato fraud
aud wrong and mean to see the right
righted.-[Courier Journal.

FOE 1880.

The FREE PRESS having but recent
ly entered upon its lXth Volume, at
the beginning OF an important year
would again modestly present its claims
to the patronage of the people of Hays
county and adjacent localities. 81
1t will continue to maintain its repu
tation as faithful exponent OF the
community which it represents, lead
ing off in the direction of all worthy
material improvements, and political,
social and moral reforms. TO this end
to the fullest presentation Of the To-
cal news, and the most faithful devo-
ton to local interests-the paper will
be primarily devoted.
The year 1880 will be distinguished
as that of the Presidential and of our
general State and county elections, and
hence will be one of peculiar political
activity and interest. In the National
contest the FREE Press will be found
standing firmly by the principles upon
which TILDEN and HENDRICKS tri.
umphed before the people in 1876. As
the natural and eminently fit repre-
sentatives of those principles, it should
rejoice agaid to follow the same leader
ship, and it is not without hopes that
it shall be permitted to do so.
In our local politics the FREE PRESS
will continue to aim to do equal and
exact justice to all aspirants to Office,
treating all with courtesy and giving
all pertectly fair play.
Now is an appropriate time to sub
scribe. We would be glad if all friends
of the FREE Press would act as vol.
untary agents. At least show it to
your neighbors and ask them to sub
scribe. All postmasters are also au-
thnrized agents.
