that " Every man on the dieabled soldier's roll who has not died or voluntarily given up his place, ishere iu the employ of the House." No member said him nfty. But the orgftns still howl. Sucn meu as Win. Cullen Bryant, Parke Godwin, Charles Francis Adams, Prof. Sumner, Gideon "Welles, Judge Catón, George W. Julián, Gov. Curtin, Gov. Palmer, and GóV. Blair- everyone old Republicana - are trying to reform ; 1... .luCiu. TiHn TllE organs say that Mr. Ilayes is truthful. Very well, Mr. Hayes tells us hiuiself that Gen. Grant's Adrainistration is a " commendable " one. Theroforo Hayes' administration must be a contiriuation of Grantism, for he desiros his also worthy of commendatiou. The Detroit Tribune acknowledges the authenticity of the letter of Gov. Hayes' private Secretary returning thanks for an election to the American Kuow-Nothing Alliance. At the same time it prints a forgod letter from the Secretary of the Alliance, accusiog Gov. Tilden of being a member of the same organization. Inasmuch as the letter is dated New York, Oct. 6th, 1876, and the Secrotary sailed for Europe Aug. 25th, 1870, the bluudering nature of the forgery is ridiculous. m 1 1 - ii np Samuel J. Tilden will be the next President of the United State. He was nominated with no expeotation of carrymg the Western States. The Middle, Southern, and Pacific States were relied upon to secure his election. Coutrary to all the exppctations of the party at the time the nomination wan made, Indiana has gone Democratie by 4,000 majority. All hail Indiana. Indiana brings 15 'more electoral votes to the Democratio column, making the whole number 210. The States already Democratie cast the above vote, but the Dembcracy only necd 185 votes to elect. Hayes simply holds Ohio, and makes no gain. West Virginia comes up to the line with 10,000 majority agninst Grantisra. The disloyal Tilden, at a meeting held in Now York city Oot. 8th, 1860 reported resolutions, umong which was the following : " That we deeni it to be an imperativo duty to waive personal preferences as to the candidutes anc difforences upon abstract questions in favor of a unión of patriotio citizens for the sake of a Union of the States." In Oot., 1862, this sume disloyal Tilden addressed the following words to the South : Witliin the Uoion we will give you the Coustitutiou you profesa to revore, renewed with iresh guamutees ol equal rights and equal safety. We will give you evervihing tlmt local sclf-government demanda, everything thut a coramoii aucestry of glory, everything that a natioual frateruity of Christian füllowship requires ; but to diesolve the federal bouds oetwetiii these States, to dismember our country, whoever else cenaents we will uot; uo, never ! never ! never!" In 1861 this disloyal Tilden sent a message to MoClellan ad vising him to discard the objectionablo words of the platform. The loyal l)ix, who spends his timo in calling this disloyal Tilden to judginout, made a speech in New York City, Dec. 17th, 1860, from which we quote: " Let us divide what we possoss on the one hand, and what we owe on the other, and save a llepublic, the noblest the world has ever seen from the horrois of civil war and the degradation of nnancial discrodit." The Republicana nominated Dix for Governor of New York, 1874, and the Deniocrats under Tilden defeated him by 50,000 majority. No wondeh that hard times are upon he American people, that business is dul), and business men are every day giiing into bankruptoy. The roason fui all this is so plain that any man f sense can soe it, if he will roflect. During the last eleven yeara the Rppubíoan party has taxed tho people $4,400,(00,000, almt'ít twice the whole national iebt as it stood at the lose of our great war. All this immense taxation since the war ended ! Never was a people so íeavily buideued before. It is onough to paralyze all the industries of the country, if not to foroe the country itself iuto bankruptcy. And what have they doue with it ? They have ouly paid #600,000,000 of it to wipe out the national debt. As to what becama of the rest let Baboock, 3elknap, Robeson, Deltino, Attorney jreneral Williams, Casey, and the others of that beautiful compauy teil. The books of the Treasury show that in 1800 taxation for each person in the United States was $1.90. To-day it is $3.55. At this ruto where will it be ;en years henee ? The Democratie House cut down expenditures $40,000,000, but oould only jet a reduction of $30,000,000 through the Republican Senate, because that party needed the difference to carry Ohio and Indiana. Remember that Tilden leduced taxation iii New York just oue half ia less than two yearB ! The organs still set up a loyal howl becaune 10 out of 123 appointuieuts by the Doorkeeper of the House wero given to ex-Confederate soldiers. The Republican party in its legislativo capacity, upon the solemuity of its oath, declared it just that such men ahould even act as members of Cougress, and aow they suy that Demócrata are traitors becauso they employ ten just such men to act in a nienial ottpacity. Consistent indeed I The oitly vote cast fur Jeff. Davis for President, in 1860, wat cast by Ben. Butler, and cast by him 52 times. The Ropublicaus sent him to Cougress. Caleb Cushiug was a traitor in the war, and Grant tried to niake him Chief Justice of the Uoited States, and then sent him as Minister to Spain. Dan Sickles brought into Congress in 1860 a constitutional aujendment providing for peaceable secession, and the Republicaus sent hiin Minister to Spain. They made the rebel Gen. Longstreet, Collector of New Orleans, seven years sgo. They took tho rebel Ackerman from Georgia and made him Attorney General of the United States. They sent that arch-rebel Jas. L. Orr, of South Carolina, as Minister to the Rusjian Cuurt. They selected a rebel judge frorn North Carolina, Sottlo, and made him President of tbe Philttdlphia National Conventiou in 1872. The Guerrilla Mosby is the welcome gaest of the White House. And yet the Democratie party has capped tbe climax by giving ton uninportant, inenial offices to ten men of whoin no body ever heard ! Surely tbo Kepublican party has novel if uot great ideas. Mn. Blaine long ago used himself up with all honor-loving and reputable raember of the House reudered his charaoter at least questionablo. His utternnces on the stump show him to be an unprinuipled demagogue. His last appearance on the stump was for the purpose of proving that Charles Francis Adams was a supporter of slavery and a rebel adherent. A cause must indeed be desperate that requires such a prostitution of all that is fair, decent and honorable in its advocacy. Every honest citizen, should from very shame, put his hand on his mouth, and his uioutli in the dust after such an exhibition as thiss. No words of eulogy from Republican leaders were too extravagant to be lavished upon Mr. Adams until he broke with his party. He is regarded at home and abroad as the first citizen of the republic, The charges brought by Blaine against Mr. Adams can be brought equally against Lincoln, Seward, Ben Wade and old Senator Grimes, and can be proven from the record. We have the proofs before ur, but the remarks of Blaine are too utterly contemptible to require any answer. We add the following paragraph from the London Standard to show how the relation of Mr. Adams to this campaign is regarded abroad : If there be one man in the United States who can be regarded as the rapreuentative oí the i Uil Bepublican traihtious; of all that was honorable aud re.tpectttble in Nothern politics ; of all that made Massachusetts the toremost State in New England, thut man is Charlurt Fraucis Adams. If there be a man who, above all others, is attached to the party now in power by tho kind of hereditary tl s so commou in Eugland aud so rare in America, Air. Aclama is that man. That he nhould tiiM have shaken oñ his allegiauce to the party of hi3 birth and sympathies, and pronounced himself ready to support whichever candidato should best represent the principie and purpose of reform, was a fact of no littïe significance. That, having so pronounced hls inteutions, he should now declare in action thiit U is the Democratie candidato who repreaents the reform for which he hopod, that the interest of punt y and public honor are bound up with the cause of Mr. Tilden, is still more significant. After this it will be difticult tor any man to sustain his character and professions as a refoimer before all things, and vet to vote with the Republicana. We muy alinost say that by the lipa of Mr. Adama the rospectable classes of America have pronuuuced jiulgment on the character of the two parties, and have declared the Demócrata to be the champions of reform, and idtmtified Republicuuism wi h tho corruptions and scanduls, the jobbbery and extravagance of the last fitteen years. TllE Now York A'ution, a warm supjorter of Playee, declaros it al most foels t a duty, to apologize to Gov. Tilden or notiuiug the vile and malicious harges of the New York 7'baes with eference to his income returns. It 'arthor says, that tho charges aro bo uterly groundless that coiumon deency requires that they should no lon;er be made. Every respectable, fairuiinded American citizen who beioves that character is of any conequence, and that politios should be omething more than a confidence game, hould kuow how to treat a purly tbat elies upon the baaost slanders to win jarty succeas. Such things ehould be obuked by every reputable journal in ie land. TUE Blaiiles, Babcocks, Cuseys, elknaps, llobesons, " Boss " Shepherds, ackards, Mosbys, Hortons, Ingerollls, Murphys, Chandlers, are all tryug to reform the government by eloctng Hayes.
