Cleveland Plain Dealer: The
Rochester Union suggests many
things in calling attention TO the
changes in Democratic sentiment
with regard to Mr.. Tilden which have
occurred within four four years. In
1880 Mr.. Tilden was undoubtedly
beaten at Cincinnati by Tammany
Hall, and yet Tammany is pledged
for him now in preference to any
other man. The great fraud of 1877,
astonishing as it may seem now, was
hardly thought of in 1880; but to-
day it is q live issue and the magni-
tude of its meanness and its danger
grows in the public view the more
seriously and the longer it is con-
sidered. Above all other men Mr..
Tilden, feeble as he is, is the Demo
cratic fay orite, and had he ten years
less to carry has nomination and
election almost REGARDLESS OF PARTY
LINES Would be an assured event. As
for R. B. Hayes, he has the contempt
of all honest men; and as for Zach
Chandler and other concoctors ofthe
great fraud, their names are remem-
bored with additional adherence
year by year.

as these persons probably knew. The
examiner of the Pension Department
went there unknown to MI. Camp
bell, and looked into the matter, and
found an entirely different state Of
facts, and SO reported to the Depart
ment, but this did not prevent the
perpetrators of the outrage from pub
lishiug all over the country that such
a charge had been made. The same
parties procured another man, but in
this case a man of good repute, to
swear that he had paid Mr.. Camp;
bell 800 in a pension case, carefully
suppressing the fact that it was for
his legal fee only, and moneys. ex-
pended by him in the case. They
also procured two witnesses to swear
that they had heard a third person,
q lady, now dead, say that she had
paid Mr.. Campbell $72 in a pension
case.
Upon last Saturday week the Com
missioners showed MI. Campbell
these charges. In three days the
proof was furnished to completely
annihilate them. He showed that
the fellow making the first aft
davit was a common drunkard, a no.
t~orious liar, and had been expelled
from the G. A. r. at Hamilton; that
he had never received but $25 from
him, and that for another legal ser
vice. The second party-the $10t
man-swore that he had made hii
original affidavit at the persona
request of a member of Congress
before said members private secre
tary, acting as Notary-withopt an.
intention of filing a complaint agains
Mr.. Campbell; and further that ths
Ioney paid merely covered expense:
incurred, and alegal fee Oslo which
Mr.. Campbell ct the time informe'
him, was all he could charge. MI
Campbell was also able to prove tina
for the third persona widow nov
dead-he had procured two pension
: without any charge whatever, excer
for money actually expended by hin
, Upon this showing he demanded
: speedy hearing, which was accorde
: him with the result above stated

Der of its Senators and Representa-
tives in the Congress of the United
States. The Democrats of each or
ganized territory and the District of
Columbia are invited to send two
delegates, subject to the decision OF

The proceedings of the Third Dis

thusiastic, aud although there was

gates to the NATIONAL Convention, the
result vas satisfactory and every
Democrat present left the hall at ad-

unanimous nomination for Congress
of "Butler County's distinguished

The Butler County Democrat
t%ruthfully says: 1t can not be fore
told who will be the national demo
cratic nominee, but among the rank
and file of the democracy no man has
more friends than Samuel j. Tilden.
Indifference TO his physical strength
is openly expressed. A Texan said
the other dsy: 81 would rather vote
for Samuel j. Tilden dead and in his
coffin than any live man in America"
1t is Tilden's views on the issues of
the day, the spirit Of democracy that
has guided his political life and is
breathed forth in every ~utterance
that gains for him the respect of his
party. His confidence in the people
insures for him their confidence. He,
more than any other nan whose
name is mentioned, is free from sell
fishness and personal ambition and
better represents the old time demo.
cratic principles, the application Of
which is 80 necessary at this time
to the government of the people
exempt from class Legislation and
special privileges. Samuel J. Tilder
at the head of the ticket and some
able, ardent and consistent democrat
in the second place, who is fully il
sympathy with the policy ofthe grea'
chief, would sweep the country lik'
an avalanche.

RefutatiOn of the Charges Pre-
ferred against Hon. y sslnes H.
Campbell.

Special dispatch to the Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Seyeral
days ago certain persons here went
around to the various newspaper men
and announced that complaint had
been made to the Commissioner of
Pensions charging James E. Camp
bell, the Democratic contestant from
Ohio, with collecting illegal pension
fees. As the Commissioners never
gives information about such matters
while the same are pending undis-
posed of, it looks rather suspicious
that information, purporting to be
full and detailed, should be gratui-
tously peddled around and thrust at
every leading correspondent in the
city. 1t savored too, much Of per-
sonal malice on the part ofsomebody
outside of the Pension Office. Many
papers refused the item, while many
others published long articles-some
of them head-lined Campbell vs..
Notwithstanding the truth of the
statements made, and embellishing
the same with various falsehoods and
criticisms; but all showed the cloyen
hoof. These publications were read,
as they were intended to be, 10y mem
bers of Congress a1d others having
knowledge of Mr.. Campbell's contest,
and if true, would have done him ir
reparable injury.
These charges were examined on
Wednesday last by the Commission
er of Pensions, and on Monday by
the Secretary of the Interior, and
promptly dismissed as utterly
greundless. 1t appears that two
citizens of Hamilton, o., procured q
drunken rcproba;e there to swear
that several years ago he paid Mr..
Campbell $73 as a pension fee. This
! was an unfounded and impudent lie,

slave parents. He went to college
as a waiter, and at that time was

helped him through q preparatory
course, after which he supported
himself by teaching o Boston class

Hon. James E. Campbell has fixed
the responsibility upon Hon. H. L.
Morey for the charges recently
trumped up against him. This is
the end expected from the beginning.
Had not the department at Wash

onerated Mr.. Campbell it would have
made but little difference with the
people in the Seventh Congressional
District where he is best known
With them his vindication was com

New Funding Bill.

Washington, d. c., 12.--At 8
meeting OF the House committee on
banking and currency this morning,
Potter gave notice that he proposed
to withdraw his two per cent bill
and substitute a new funding bill,
which will probably go to the COM
mittee of ways sind means. His
new bill which he introduced to-
day authorizes the secretary Of the
treasury TO convert the present
three per cent, four per cent and
four srd q half per cent bonde, each
new bond 10 De payable at the same
time, and On the same conditions
ss the boEd for which it is substi-
tuted. In making the exchange of
new bond for fours aud AZ s. the
secretary ia authorized to pay such
sum in each case as will equal the
amount saved in interest to the
country. The bill reduced the tax
on the circulation of national banks
one half and further authorizes the
secretary to purchase any class of
bonds payable in future, instead of
calling the bonds now payable when
by 30 doing he can make it to the
advantage Of the government.
