TiIden out of the Race.

There is scarcely doubt that those who
have been so earnestly advocating the re-
nomination of the "old ticket" viii have
only their labor for their pains. The tidal
wave in favor Of Tilden and Hendricks,
that was intended to be raised to divert
the party from the tariff issue, failed. No
doubt Mr.. Tilden possessed much inhe-
rent strength. and would still command
strong support were his health sufficient
for the work Of the campaign. Mr.. Hen
bricks has little claim on the party, and
his denomination has not been thought of,
save on account of the supposed magical
influence Of the sold ticket"
Even in the midst of his infrmities, not
to say dOtage, Mr.. Tilden has been much
wiser than his supporters. He has uni
fOrmly declined even to consider the ques-
ton Of his denomination, saying he was
not equal to the task that would be re-
quired Of him. He has been heard from
again, and his position is plain and I'M
equivocal. His last interviewer, so far
noted, is Col. Alfred Wilkinson, banker
and prominent Democrat of Syracuse,
New York, who visited Gramercy Park
one day last week. He is an intimate
personal friend Of Mr.. Tilden, and ex-
pressed himself as anxious for the renom-
ination of the old ticket The sage
replied that he could not be
made the Democratic nominee under any
circumstances, and that there were
younger and sturdier men who could be
looked for as possessing all the needed
qualities for leadership" On being
pressed to express his opinion as to who
the Democratic nominee should be, he in
timated that "a Democrat with
a good war record, a soldier Of the Union
army, should be the man." He declined
to be more explicit, but can be taken for
granted that he does not incline towards
Payne, if this interview be correctly re-
ported, as well as the one in which he
said, with a twinkle OF the eye, that
"Payne IS four years older than l am"
! 1t is more than likely, however, that
neither Mr.. Tilden, nor any other man or
! juntaOf men, will be able to dictate to the
/ Democratic National Convention. The
| party has not got to that pass yet, and is
not likely to get there, and Mr.. Tilden
/ knows it.

The Ohio Platform.

There is at present good deal Of talk
about the Ohio platform. The protection
Democrats say that it suits them exactly.
The followers of Randall in Congress
want it adopted as the tariff plank in the
National Democratic platform. Are they
sincere: OF course they are not. Their
opposition to the Morrison bill shows they
I are not. What Is the tariff plank in the
Ohio platforms It reads as follows:
4 tariff for revenue limited to necessi-
ties Of the government economically ad-
mlnistered and so adjusted in its applica-
ton as TO prevent unequal burdens, en-
/ courage productive interests at home and
afford just compensation to labor, but not
to create or foster mOnOpOlies.
1t calls for a tariff for revenue limited
10 the necessities of the government, with
incidental protection. Is that the kind of
a tariff that we have now; OF course not.
Doesn't the present tariff foster mOnopO-
lies and doesn't it furnish at least $780,
I 900, more revenue, annually, than the
necessities Of the government require
7 The Morrison bill doesn't destroy Incl
dental protection, and, it is estimated,
only reduces the revenue about $37, 000,-
! DOV. " ny lucu uOCS Nj. nduudll
and his supporters oppose it. The reason
is plain. They don't believe in the Ohio
platform. They don't want any reduction
in the present tariff. They believe in a
/ tariff that fosters monopolies. They want
to continue to deceive the people by de-
/ clarations about a tariff which they do
not mean to put into practice when they
| have the opportunity and the power.
/ They profess to stand upon the Ohio plat
/ form. That platform, as already stated,
calls for a revenue limited to the necessi-
ties Of the government. The revenue is
now 500, 000, 600 in excess of the require
ments Of the government. The Morrison
bill is a step towards limiting the revenue
I to the governments necessities. The
! Randallites oppose it. Are the people de-
/ ceived by their professions? OF course
they are not. They know that Mr.. Ran.

Political Disabilities Of Mexican
Veterans


There are doubtless quite a number of
persons in this State, and in every
Southern State, who are unable
to take advantage of the recent act
granting pensions to veterans Of the
Mexican war on account of their politi-
cal disabilities. We received letter
from Camden county yesterday, from a
gentleman who is seeking to have his dis
abilities removed so that he can secure
the benefit which the act provides. He
was a Justice of the Inferior Court of his
county, and left that position to enter the
Confederate army. Before accept
ing the office of Justice he, of
course, took an oath to support
the constitution of the United States.
All who took this oath and subsequently
served the Confederacy of course have
political disabilities, unless they have
been removed, which debar them from
receiving a pension under the Next
can pension act. Our correspondent in
Camden county has applied to Senator
Brown to introduce bill for the removal
of his disabilities. A petition for relief,
signed by the applicant, must accompany
the bill in each case. Senator Brown eX-
presses the opinion that there will be no
difficulty in getting these relief bills
through Congress, but it may take good
deal of time on account of the crowded
condition of the calendars Of both houses.
1t would be well, however, to introd uce
the bills at an early daY as possible.

Tammanx Hall and the Tariff.

Tammany Hall Democrats endorsed the
Morrison bill Friday night. How could
they do otherwise? Is not the bill in entire
harmony with the declared policy of the
Democratic party Does not the Democrat
ic party of New York favor the bill? If it
does not it gives no sign of its opposi-
ton. Probably it may be
thought that Mr.. Tilden doesn't
favor the bill. 1t is noticeable that
those journals which are opposing the
bill, but which are booming Mr.. Tilden
for the Presidency, do not quote him with
respect to the bill. This is pretty good
evidence that he favors it. He could not
very well oppose it without being incOn-
sIstent. About as far back as he
has any public record he has
been a tariff reformer, and if he
should suddenly declare himself against
the Morrison bill the impression would
be created that he is failing mentally as
well as physically. An argument that
the protection Democrats have persist
emily urged is that New York is necessary
to Democratic success in the approach
ing national contest, and that any agita-
ton Of the tariff question would certainly
cause the Democrats to lose that State.
1t is beginning to be apparent that this
argument is nothing more than an as
sertiOn, and that as an assertion it hasn't
any foundation. The Democratic leaders
in New York are pretty well informed re-
speeding Democratic sentiment in that
STATE, and they are not only willing to
risk but invite tariff agitation.

Base Ingratitu de

Mr.. Howard Carroll, says the New York
Sun, has been telling newspaper reporter
of President Arthur's ingratitude, adding
that he opposes the Presidents renomina
ton. He says
''Nr. Arthur is an ungrateful man. If
any man can be said to have put Arthur
in the Presidential chair that man was
Howard Carroll. l do not say this, mind
you; others do. Why, when he was NOM
mated at Chicago the whole newspaper
deputation came to my room and con-
graduated me on what they said was my
work. When Mr.. Arthur went into the
White House as President l breakfasted
with him alone at the first meal he ate
there. With that natural modesty and
hesitation which one always feels IN adj
dressing a President, however intimate
with him previous to his elevation, con-
graduated him on his being there. He
impulsively held out his hand and said,
And owe it all to yOu.'
YES" said Mr.. Carroll, impressiyely,
and after a long silence, ''that man has
never asked me what | wanted"

The people of Florida appear TO be SER

an extra session of the Legislature to
make an Appropriation to properly repre-

lever in the efficacy of advertising, and

making known her advantages to the

that a proper exhibit shall be made at
New Orleans whether the necessary APP
propriation is made by the Legis-
Iature or not. An effort has been
made to get the members of
the Legislature to agree to serve
without charge in case an extra session
should be called by the Governor, who
seems to consider it doubtful whether
such session would be constitutional for
the purpose proposed, but less than a
third of them have responded favorably
to the appeal. 1t seems to be- pretty well

The response which the call for aid in
establishing a home for Confederate yete-
rams, issued by r. L. Lee Camp No. 1, of

and in the South, does credit to the better
feelings of the nation. The aid extended
by the different posts Of the Grand Army
of the Republic has been especially sig
nifcant of the restoration of the era
of confidence and fellowship between
the sections. Gen. John B. Gordon
has enlisted in the cause Of this
noble institution and is now at work in
New York in its behalf. His national
reputation and high character as a sol

It IS thought that the unanimity Of
sentiment among the Republicans favor
Ing Robert Lincoln for Vice President
leads to a strengthening Of his hopes that
he stands q splendid chance to get the
first place on the ticket. In case Of an
obstinate deadlock in the convention, he
hopes that the presentation Of his name
would cause an enthusiastic stampede to
him on account Of the veneratiOn of the
party for his father. The same feeling
would doubtless now make him the most
prominent Republican candidate, but for
the fact that he is known not TO possess
the qualifications to fill the position or to
sufficiently command the respect and
confidence of the people. If he will be
discreet and not take occasion to pose too
much before the country, he may get the
second place on the ticket, but the first
place is rather higher than he can hope
TO attain.
