says the whole story OF the Republican papers
that at any time in my life ever directly or

malicious lies for which the Republican press
during the campaign just closed has been
noted. In the late campaign the National
Prohibition party betrayed my expenses, aud
gave to the cause my time and my labor with
out money and without price.
"The Republican party may burn me in

Mr.. Tilden's Age.

Let the papers that w,,nt to oppose
Mr.. Tildcn for the Presidency do it
upon some other plea than old age.
MIR. Tilden was 70 years old the 9th
of last month. If he is in good health
his age need not be an object. Why
DR.. G. G. Graham, of Louisville, is in
his second century and is still hale
and hearty. Senator-elect Payne, of
Ohio, is IA years old and is even be-
ing mentioned as Presidential can
didate. Numbers of men Is or so
years old are actively engaged IN va
rious pursuits every day and will not
even admit that they are getting old.
Right here in Hopkinsville, we have
Il brickmason 81 years old who is al
most as stout and can do nearly as
much work as his sons and grand-sons
who follow the same calling. Anoth-
er of our leading citizens, merchant,
is rs years old and daily attends 10
his business just as he has been doing
for 80 years. Mr.. Tilden may be fec
BILE and prematurcly old, but he is not
dccrepid from old age. Too old TO be
President. Too old indeed Willy
there are according to the last census
report 9775S3 people in the United
States over 10 years Ofage, two per
cent, of the entire population. And
there are 22l,076 persons over 50 years
old and still there is talk of a man 70
years old being too old for President.
In Mr.. Tilden's own state there are
nearly 10000 persons as old as lie is.
Let us hear no more of this method
Of opposing the great New York
statesman. We do not know that the
exigencies of the coming campaign
will demand Tildcn as the one man
who can win, as is claimed by some ;
on the other hand we are inclined to
think that the time for vindicating
the old man was allowed to 90 by in
1880 and that the next campaign
should be made with new men and a
new platform. But we are not writ
ing a "Tiden editorial" except to say
word in defense of his age, remcm-
berimg that he is a bachelor and
that his matrimonial plans may be
interfcred with by ali this uncalled-
for clamor. Give tie old man a
chance. 1t hasn't been long since
Kentucky had a Governor as old as
Mr.. Tilden and he was not an invalid
by upwards of a good deal. Even
now she has an assistant Secretary of
State-and a good one too-who is no
spring chicken. And even in the Ken
lucky Press, where brains wear out
soon, we find instances of old patri-
archs who still refuse to be placed
upon the supcrannuated list. Col
Craddock, Maj. Matt Mckinney and
Zeno Young are all shining lights,
though they were old enough to vote
when Mr.. Tildcn was a boy. 1t was
only last week that we noticed an ac-
count Of the marriage of an old boy
ten years Mr.. Tilden's senior. In the
face of these facts we trust we viii
see no more attempts 10 make tho
sage of Gramercy Park out an ole
