DEMENT, AND HIS CHAMPION.

In its issue OF this morning, our Re
publican contemporary again trots out
the ancient chestnut OF "a conspiracy,
matched by Morrson's clerk and started
rs joke" TO work the political ruin OF
Surveyor-Generel Dement, OF this Terri
tory. 1t will be noted, however, that
while our Republican contemporary pro-
fesses and declares that il has positively
known, for Il long time that these
things are thus and so, there is not ad-
vanced in its columns one iota OF evil
dence in proof OF its statements, and
without the adducement OF something
that squnts in the direction OF proof, our
very knowing contemporary statements
must, OF course, count for just what they
are worth, and that is-nothing at all
Our reckless Republican neighbor also
states that certain men here have per
secuted" Mr.. Dement, because he ex-
pressed the belief that the man who
would bring National politics into the
Territory OF Utah, was an enemy to the
people here. OF course, there is not Il
word OF proof in support OF this ''perse-
cution" yarn, nor can there be, for it is a
lie, pure and simple. AS to the "other
forces" that have been brought into play
to secure Mr.. Dement'S rejection, and
which our Republican contemporary an
nounces will Gin due time receive atten-
ton" all the DEMOCRAT desires 10 say in
the face OF that terrible threat, is-'rrot

publican champion would like to lay be-
fore an expectant public, the DEMOCRAT

HON. j. RANDOLPH TUCKER.

In its issue of this morning, the Re-
publican concern here pays its respects
editorially to Hon. j. Randolph Tucker,
OF Virginia, and other gentlemen, in n
manner that would certainly make the
libeller Hemenway weep with envy if the
dastardly article could be laid before him
for his perusal Mr.. fuckers offense, as
alleged, is that he did not press the
Tucker Edmunds bill to n vote in the
House. To be sure, the Republican con-
cern says Mr.. Tucker had the power to
do this, but the Republican con-
Germs statements are not always
made in strict accordance with the
facts, and we are well satisfied
that this is one of that class OF state
ments. All the same, however, its flood
gates OF dastardly innuendo and worse
4 than billingsgate are opened wide upon
the gentleman from Virginia, and party
capital is sought to be secured by per-
! forming the work OF character assassins.
One would think, from reading the arti-
Gle which appears in the Republican
( concern this morning, that that
institution maintained bureau in

4 the unexpressed thoughts OF Senators.
Whether that be SO or not, it is certain

SAMUEL j. TILDEN.

The wires to-day brought the news
from Greystone, that all that remained
mortal OF Samuel J. Tilden, was stlled {
in death this morning. The great !
American passed quietly and peaceably
away, attended by few personal friends;
and with the passage OF that spirit /
from the portals OF Greystonc, went out
the life, light and wellspring OF a pure
American, fully rounded out with all the
honors and illustrious deeds vouchsafed
to humanity In the death OF Tilden,
the country suffers an irreparable loss,
not in the sense Tor which the parrot-likc /
iteration of that term is generally used,
but in the sense oi real loss,
the effects OF which will be
felt throughout the land, reaching the
breast OF the humblest citizen as fully as
that OF the millionaire. Samuel j. Til
den was an American in all that goes to
make that honorcd term great, having
risen gradually to the highest position he
held in the hearts oi mankind, by his
own cndeavor; and in all that long con-
tinued career OF usefulness and honor,
no stain occurs. showing that he ever
used his felow-man for his own advance
ment In his death the bar of the coun-
try will know Il peculiar loss, for of all
the wealth OF legal learning which en-
bellishcs the work OF the giant minds
who lead it none had greater share than
he, and none was so ready 10
give its benefits to the struggling
youth desirous OF rising in life, and who
looked up to him as the greatest living
exponent of human law. In career at
the bar OF fifty years duration, always
under the full glare of political and pro-
fcssional jealousy, with his motives fire.
quently assailed and his actions ques-
toned by defeated opponents, with the
full strength of the most powerful ring OF
thieves ever organized in this or any
other country opposed to him, he came
out unscathed and brighter in honor than
when he began, and more than any
American ever connected with the pro-
fession, reflected honor upon it, and
IilSeu IL W ltS pTcStlll IllSl SttilulIS.
His name will ever be endeared
to the people of America by
reason also OF his magnanimous
treatment OF the horde OF political trick
sters who defrauded him OF the honors
given him by the people in 1876, and his
refusal to push his claims on that occa
sion which claims would have been made
and gained even at the expense OF a revo-
luton, shows that he valued the welfare
OF the people more than his own ad
vancement-and who, among all the illus
trious dead of the past decade, could, il
life, say rs much? When the embel
lshed marble shall tell upon his toni
the virtues he possessed and exempliliet
in life, the struggling millions OF the
people, whose true friend he always was
will acquiesce in the story and mourn
the loss of II friend indeed. Requiescm u

THOSE SPECIAL DISPATCHES.

The architect Of the peculiarly unreli-
able specials which from time to time
appear in the columns OF our Republican
contemporary, on the officers OF the
Knights OF Labor and their doings, seems
to have Il very decided antipathy toward
the Order, and very mean way OF show
ing it, 1t is not long since he had Pow
derly resigning the office OF Grand Master
Workman, and following that came the
equally untrue statement that he was IL
candidate for several offices, and now
comes the news that one Mcguire, OF
New York, will take 5000 Knights and
Il District Assembly into politics on a
harum scarum platform, showing in
sanity or some other form oi mental
disease m its conception. These articles
attract attention from the few working
men who read that paper, but only bring
laughter from those who know the laws
OF the Order and know how impossible
such an act is. Mcguire may rant and
bring the action OF the Order in contempt
as did Martin Irons, but he will assuredly
meet the same treatment as was accorded
to Irons, and be placed where his ranting
cannot harm the Order. In any case it
i'll becomes journal which claims to up
hold the laboring classes to persistently
/ publish such rot, until Mcguire
or some other man in the Order makes
I himself liable to attack by putting such
demented reasoning in practice, or tries
to. The Knights OF Labor have a heavy
load to carry now in the opposition OF or
ganized capital, without being weighted
with assault in the house OF their pre-
tended friends.
