s. J. TIlDEN FOR PRESIDENT.
Let US Renominate and Elect the
Man Robbed Of the
Office.
The Conspiracy Of 1s76-75 10 he
the Prominent Feature of the
ia mDaiUu.

lllutu StduuS DEC~NDltu1ub III tno btulN
ocratic party, and that he has been it's
most conspicuous member for four
years-and this for several reasons.
He was the distinguished reform Gov
| ernor of New York; he was the Pr,si-
Dental candidate Of his party in 1876;
he represents in his person the wrong
done to his party and his country four
years ago-'the greatest fraud in Amer"
lean history. AS Senator Thurman aptly
describes 1t; and he is the special mark
of Republican hatred and defamltI
receiving on his own head all the resent
ment and unmerited ill-will that Repub
Ticans cherish for the Democratic party.
Every rancorous shaft shot from every
quarter of the Republican camp is aim
ed straight at Tilden.
But in addition to these general con-
siderations there are special reasons IN
the Republican nomination tor Presi-
dent that indicate Mr.. Tilden as his fit
test antagonist. Mr.. Garfield was a
member of the electoral commission
the eight to seven juuta-that anulled
the voice of the people, set aside Mr..
Tilden, whom they had fairly chosen
President, and gave the Presidency to
r. B. Hayes-and the act of the Repub
loan party in presenting him for the
high office is nothing less than an avow-
al of that wrong, and q deliberate in
dorsement of one of its authors. How
can the Democratic party better reply
to this nomination and to the partisan,
m~aIevolent, and untruthful arrangement
of their policy in the Chicago platform,
thar by the defiant nomination of then
most conspicuous chieftain? How can
they more e~tfectually respond to the
challenge OF their record and policy
than by finging in the face OF their adj
v~arsarv the crime of 1876, and present
ing to the people the victim of tina
crime, as the instrument for aveng
irg it?
If, as the Democratic state platform
Of the preseat year and the individua
expressions of the spirit indicate, tn
Republican conspiracy of l876-N IS t.
be made the prominent issue III tn
present canvass, aud the Judgement /"
the people invoked on that shameless
annulmsnt of their will, then. to CIV
this issue full force ana eff 4ct, 1t woul'
seem necessary that Mr.. TIlden sboni'
again be the nominee. Mr. rnnrmaI

Samuel j. rIldeu will be very live,,
candidate before the National Dempc

:. he will Certainly enter tne contest witt
more votes than any Other candidate
Eveu in the South, where he Is regar
ded as weak, he will have IA very res
. pectable vote. Kentucky, Missouri,
Georgia and Virginia will have quite
number of Tilden delegates, and ii hi
vote in the Northern States is as grea
as his friends represent, his nomination
is very probable.-Meridt Home,

What shall be the relation of the
: Democratic party to the man it elected
bat did not inaugurate, is a matter thai
concerns the party more than it doe:
him. He is an old man; it is not impor.
tant to him that he should be yindica
=, ted, or renominated, or reelected but
it is important for the party he ha;
served and led that it shall be true t.
what of It's interests and honor it repre-
seuts. And we have full faith that i
will be. it is on the right track, aud i
, is not likely to falter therein this sud-
9 of Cincinnati. AS for Mr. TItdrn, W,
firmly believe he you'd rather see tn
