REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Wiikk, in the economy of Providence, this land
was to be purged of human slavery, and when the
strength of the govenracat of the people, by ibe
people, for the people, was to be demonstrated, tho
Republican party camcinto power. Its deeds have
passed Into history, and we look back to them with
pride. Inclcted by their memories and high aims
tor the good of our country and mankind, and look
ing to tbefuturewithunfaltcrlnscourace. hope, and
purpose, we. the representatives ot the party. In
national convention assembled, make the lollorv
inir declaration of nrincinles:
1. The Vnited States of America i a nation, not a.
leBKue. Uy the comutiieu wordings ot me national
and state Governments, under tlieim-spoctivecon-stitutions
the rights or every citizen are setured at
home and protected abroad, and the common wel
fare promoted.
2. The Republican party has preserved those
governments to the hundredth anniversary of the
nation's birth, and they are now the embodiments
of the great truths spoken at its cradle: That all
men are created ejual : that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness: that for the attainment of these ends
governments have been Instituted among men, de
riving their Jut powers from the consent of the
go erned until those truths are cheerfully obe ed
or. If needed to be, vigorously enforved, the work
of the i:publ!can party is uutiulsbcJ.
3. The permanent pacilication of the Southern
section of the Union, and the complete protec
tion of its citizens in the free enjojjnent of all
their rights are duties to wnlch the Republi
can, party stands sacredly pledgpd. The power to
provide for the enforcement of the piixlples em
bodied In the recent constitutional amendments is
vested by those amendments In the Congress ot
the United States, and we declare it to be the sol
emn obligation of the legislative and executive de
partments of the government to put Into immedi
ate and vigorous t-iercise all their constitutional
powers f.r removing any just cause of discontent
on the part or any class aud securing to every
American citizen complete liberty and exat equal
ity lit the exercise or all civil. o!iucal, and public
rights. To this end we imperatively demand a
C'lpgress and a cliif'f ex'HJUtive whose courage and
fidelity to these dunes shall not falter until these
results are p!aesl beyond dispute or recall.
4. In the first act of Congress signed by President
Grant, the National Government aseumed to re
move any doubu. of its duty to discharge all lust
obligations to public creditors, and solemnly pledg
ed its faith to make provision at tne earliest practi
cable, period the redemption of United States notes
in coin. Commercial pro-perity, public morals.and
national rruht demand that this promise be lnllill
ed by a continuous aud steady progress to specie
pavments.
i. Under the constitution, the President and beads
of deptirtmentsare to make nomination forotlice,
the Senate istoadvlseandconsenttoappohitments.
and the Ilotfe of Representatives is to accuse and
prosecute faithless ollicers. The best iuterests
of the public service demand that these distinctions
tie respected ; that Senators and Repreentati es
who may be Judges and accusers should not dictate
appointments to olhce. The invariable rules for
ajijMihitments should have reference to honesty, fi
delity, and capacity to the appointee, giving to the
party in power those places where harmony and
vigor ofadniinistration requires its policy to be pre
sented, and permitting ail others to ne filled by sole
reference to the efficiency of the public service and
the right of all citizens to share in the honor of ren
dering faithful service to their country.
G. Ve rejoice in the quickened conscience of the
people concernhigpolitical atiairs.aad will hold all
puplic officers to a rigid responsibility, and engage
that the prosecution and punishment of all who
betray oBicial trusts shall be speedy, thorough, and
unsparing.
7. The public school system of the several States
Is the bulwark of the American Republic, and with
avlawtoitssecurltyandpermaiiencewerecoiumend
an amendment to the Constitution of the United
-tates forbidding the implication of any public fund
or property for the benefit of any schools or Institu
tions under sectarian control.
8. Therovetiuenecessary for current expenditures
and the obligations of the publlcdcbtmustbe large
ly derived from duties on Importations which, so
far as possible, should be adiusted to promote the
interests of American labor and advance tho pros
perity for the hole country.
3. Wo rcatlirm our opposition to further grants of
the public lands to corporatons and monopolies,
and demand that tno national domain be devoted
to free homes or the people.
10. It is the imperative duty of the government so
to modify existing treaties with European govern
ments that the same protection shall be nfforded to
theadopted American citizen that is given to tne
native-born, and that all necessary laws should be
passed to protectlmmlgrants In the absence of pow
er in the states tor that purpose.
11. It is the immediate duty of Congrees to fully
investigate the effect of the immigration and Im
portation of Mongolians upon the moral and ma
terial interests of the country.
12. The Republican party recognizes with approv
al the substantial advance recently made toward
the cstahlisment of equal rights for women by the
many important amendments effected by Repub
lican legislation in the laws which concern the per
sonal and property relations of wives, mothers,
and widows, and by the appointment and election
of women to the superintendence of education,
charters, and other public trusts. The honest de
mauds of this class of citizens for additional rights
and privileges and immunities, should be treated
with respectful consideration.
13. The Constitution confers upon Congress sover
eign power o er theTerrltorles of the United States
lor their government, and in the exercise of this
power it is the right and the duty of Congress to
prohibit and extirpate in the Territories that relic
f barbarism, polygamy, and we demand such leg
islation as shall secure this end and the supremacy
of American institutions In all theTerrltorles.
1 :. The pledges which the nation lias given to our
soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled. The grateful
people ill always hold those who periled their
lives for the country's preservation in the kindest
remembrance.
15. We sincerely deprecate all sectional feeling
and tendencies. We therefore note wl'L deep so
licitude that the democratic party counts as its
chief hope of success upon the electorial vote of the
united South secured through the efforts of those
who were recently arrayed, against the nation, and
Reinoketbeearnestattentionorthe country to the
grave truth that a success tnus achieved wouldTe
open sectional strife and imperil national honor
ami human rights.
16. We charge the Pemocratlc party as being the
samein character and spirit as when it sypathizod
with treason: with making its control ot the House
of Representatives the triumph and the opportuni
ty of the nation's foes: with reasserting and ap
plauding in the national capital the sentiments of
unrepented rebellion: with sending Union soldiers
to the rear and promoting Confederate soldiers to
the front : with dehberatly proposing to repudiate
the plighted faith of the government; with being
equally false and imbecileupon the overshadowing
enas ot justice by lLsimrttsanmtsaianasemeni ami
obstrution or invest. gation: with proving itself,
through the period of its ascendency In the lower
houo of Cofgress, utterly incompetent to adminis
ter the eovenmtait. Wiw.aru the country acainst
i trusting a party thus alike unworthy, recreant, and
juiatjrauii?.
17. The national administration merits commen
dation for its honorable work In the management
of domestic and foreign attairs, and President Grant
deserves the continued and hearty gratitude of the
American people for Jils patriotism and his im
lneuse services in war and peace.

WILL HE WITHDRAW ?
A Tough Story Proved on the "Til
dcii-and-Rcform" Candidate for
Governor of Missouri.
The Chicago Times and then the
Globe-Democrat charged Gen. Phelps
with conduct unbecoming a gentle
man and a reformer, by grossly insult
ing three ladies on n certain night on
the steamboat Andy Johnson. The
charge having been denied the Qlobc
Democrat proceeds with the following
testimony :
On Board Steamboat Andy John
son, St. Louis, July SO, 1S76. Having
been requested to state tho facts in re
gard to the conduct of Col. John S.
Phelp3 while oh this steamer as a p'as
Bonger, between Hannibal aud thi3
oity, I will say that on the afternoon
of tho 8th of July, 1870, Col. Phelps
came on at Jlannibal, accompanied
by a number of well known citizens
of that place, and by them was intro
duced to tho officers of tho boat (my
self among the number) as a gentle
man and candidate for Governor of
this State. I assigned him to one of
the best rooms on the boat, and every
attention was paid him. There were
but few ladies on the boat that trip,
and, as the weather was very warm,
several of them laid down on the
sofas in the ladles' cabin. About 1
o'clock that night Col. Phelps went
into the ladies' cabin aud twice In
sulted three of tho ladies, who are
well-known and highly respected peo
ple of this city. One of the ladies had
a brother on board, who, when ho
learned of the outrageous insult of
ferred to hi3 sister and her friends,
would have inflicted severe punish
ment on him (Phelps) if he had not
been restrained by some friends on
account of his age. And that only
was the cause of his not beiug put
ashore that night by theoilicersof the
boat.
The Andy Johnson arrived in St.
Louis on the morning of the 9th of
July, 1S76.
(Signed) E. B. Morehouse.
Clerk.
I was a passenger on the boat on the
above trip. The statement of the above
facts is correct.
Tuos. H. Ward.
A correspondent oi tne "Unicago
Tribune investigated the matter and
publishes the following corroborative
statement:
The arrival of tho steamer Andy
Johnson at the wharf ypsterdny placed
within my reach the means of getting
at the truth of the matter. As it will
play an important part in the cam
paign, and may result in the removal
of Phelp3 from the ticket, I will send
you a correct version, based upon
statements made by the officers of the
boat and a letter written by ono of
tho ladles concerned.
At midnight, Saturday, July 8, the
steamer Andy Johnson was on her
way from Keokuk to St. Louis.
Among her passengers was Col.
Phelps, a veteran politician and office
holder of this state, and at the time an
aopiraut for the nomination of Gover
nor on the Democratic ticket. The
night was sultry aud inteiifcely hot.
Sleep was almost an impossibility, es
pecially in the ladies' cabin in the
rear of tho boat, from which the
southern breeze was excluded. When,
shortly after midnight, Mr. Edward
MorehouBe, the clerk, retired, he left
a party of gentlemen playing cards in
the main cabin. In the party wore
Col. Phelps, "Sandy" Burrell, a con
ductor on the Quincy, Alton aud St.
Louis road, aud Capt. Philip Lee, a
retired riverman. "They were drink
ing lemonade when I went to bed ;"
said Clerk Morehouse yesterday. The
game went on until nearly 2 o'clock.
"Out of compliment to so distinguish
ed a man as Phelps, we did not enforce
the rulo to stop all games at 10
o'clock," explained the clerk. The
party broke up and went to their
state-rooms at about 2 o'clock.
Here ocours a hiatus. PheJps is the
only witness who can tell what his
movements were from tho time he en
tered his state-room up to tho moment
when tho watchman was aroused by a
shriek proceeding from tho ladies'
cabin.
One of the lady passengers assists In
continuing thethread. Mrs. - ,
wife of a man employed in a pianing
mill at Alton, whose former home had
been at Hannibal, states in a letter to
her brother, that she had lain down
upon a sofa in the ladies' cabin with
all her clothing adjusted. Suddenly
she was aroused, aud, opening her
eyes, she found Col. Phelps with both
arms about her form, and her hands
clasped in his. She cried out and
struggled to get free, but he persisted
in his advances, until her orie3 aroused
two other ladles, one of whom was
Miss , of Hannibal. They had
been lying on other loungeo in tho
cabin, and now rushed to" the rescue.
Phelps at once released Mrs. ,
and attacked Miss after the same
fashion. Almost immediately the
watchman arrived, and he captured
the old man and hurried him to his
state-room.
This is the occurrance as plainly as
proper language can tell It. The cloth
iug of both ladles was disarranged and
damaged and tho undergarments of
one of them wero torn.
Yesterday, when I was on the steam
er, I noticed a good-sized demijohn
standing near tho door of the bar
room. I Induced a friend .who was
with me to apply his nose and report.
He said, "whiskv !"' whereupon Tsug-
J gested to the clerk that John Barley
BEOWNVILLE, NEBRASKA,
i T.. ,..
corn might have been accountable for
the whole thing.
"No; I don't think so," said he.
"Phelps was sober when I went to bed.
It wasn't whisky; it was the nature
nature of the man."
"When did you hear about this af
fair?" I asked.
"The watchman reported to me at
once. If it had been any ordinary
man wo would have stopped the boat
at once and put him off; but I hated
to do such a thing to an old man like
Phelps, and especially to one who had
occupied high positions, as he had."
"What did you do?"
"I told the watchman to keep an
eye on Phelps' state-room, aud to call
me if he even showed his head out of
the door. But ho remained quiet all
night."
"Why did you conceal the thing
from tho public so long?''
"I did it for the sake of the reputa
tion of tho boat. Tho worst feature of
the affair is tho way Phelps abused
our kindness and confidence. We
showed him every attention ; he never
was alone ; there was always a ser
vant at his heels asking if he didn't
wan't something. Then, because the
night was so intolerably hot, wo al
lowed him to sit up playing cards af
ter hours. We treated him like a dis
tinguished gentlemen, and he ought
to have remembered it."
Tho Globe-Democrat outrages the
memory of oneof thecleverest "mash
ers" In literature by calling the old
man Don Juan Phelps. Don Juan
made love like au artist; Phelps like
a butcher.
How the Tilden Reformers Carry El
ections in Alabama..
The Alabama Slate Journal says :
Under tho operation of tho present
constitution of Alabama, which, to
this extent, peculiarly aud exclusive
ly tho work of Bourbon Democratic
politicians, every voter In this State
is forced to cast his ballot in the pre
cinct (or beat) in which he resides.
In order to crush out tho large Re
publican mojorities in tho "black
belt," the Democratic party possessed
itself of all tho election machinery in
these counties; they then appointed
as managers of election, those of their
partisans who would not hesitate or
scruple to do any act to advance the
interests of their party. Tho policy
was, in all the precincts where the He
publican vote-Is overwhelming, not
to open the polling places. The Re
publican voters, by thousands, repair
ed to tho polls on Monday to cast their
ballots. Hour after hour passed away,
aud still tho Democratic managers
failed to put in an appearance. The
returning officers, who had tho keys
to tho boxes also remained hidden
away. Democrats owning houses at
the places of polling closed them up
and left the scene to prevent such Re
publicans as understood how to con
ductelections, from openingany polls.
Thus thebo thousands of humble,
peaceable, law-abiding and industri
ous citizens, they who have tilled this
soil and make our bountiful crops,
were robbed of the right of casting
their ballots in an important State
election. And thus were overwhelm
ing Republican majoiities overthrown
and Democratic majorities returned
therefor."
The curse of God and the scorn, con
tempt and hatred of all honest men
rests upon a party or people who
practice such villauies, and retribu
tion dire and crushing will overtake
them, for the right will ultimately tri
umph. What more? The Democratic par
ty tried to get up a fire in thejjrear in
Canada. Jake Thompson hat $700,000
from the Confederacy to operate in
Canada in conjunction with Northern
Democrats. The Knights of the Gold
en Circle in Indiana aud Illinois re
ceived money from Jake Thompson.
He hired men to fire New York and
Cincinnati. He furnished pistols to
those men In boxes marked "Sunday
school books.'' I have right here o
a copy of Jake Thompson's letter, in
which he speaks of the danger of bis
letters falling into loyal hands ; for,
says he, they will implicate leading
men in the North. What kind of
leading men ? Northern Democrats
friends of honesty aud reform, gen
tlemen. Ingersoll.
I tell you, gentlemen, you must
stand by the Republican party. What
was Mr. Tilden doing when Mr.
Hayes was fighting for his country?
Mr. Tilden was resolving the war was
a failure.
What is Mr. Tilden to-day ? An at
torney at law, an old bachelor. There
is no more flesh on him than on an
old umbrella. Great merriment.
Ho is one of those oily attorneys you
see depicted on the stage. He is a de
murrer. Great laughter. He never
courted a woman because women can't
vote. Merriment. Lately he has
adopted a rag baby that really belongs
to Hendricks. Prolonged laughter.
He is now spending his time explain
ing how he adopted it. Ingersoll.
There's one good thing in General
McClellau's letter on the Presidential
question which the Democrats have
possibly overlooked. He says: "I
have the highest respect for the pers
onal character and intelligence of the
Republican candidate for the Presi
dency, and believe him to bs an up-

A Party lli.it Cannot he Trusted.
Extract from Senator Morton's Speech J
The democratic party cannot be
safely trusted with the control of our
government for many reasons, a few of
which I will briefly state :
1. Because the vital elements of the
party, the men who coutrol its action
and destiny, wero traitors, and did
everything in their power to destroy
their country. No man who ever de
liberately betrayed his country should
ever be trusted with its government.
To forgivo robels is ono thing; to put
them in power is another thing. To
place this government in tho hands of
men who sought Its destruction by
armed rebellion would bo lusanlty.
These menaccepted the government
only as a military necessity. They
do not love it, aro not proud of it, care
nothingabout its credit, and Its very
existence is a rebuke to them. But
this does not diminish, reouperate and
repair their shattered fortunes. The
condition of the demoracy of the north
Is somewhat different, though scarce
ly better. Sympathizing fully with
the eouth, and entirely subservient,
It asks nothing but office aud leaves
measures and policies to the south.
Upon eoonomlcquestions that pertain
alike to all parts of tho country, while
opposing what ever is and all that
has been done, it has not even a sug
gestion to make, and is utterly bank
rupt In ideas. With individual mem
bers of talent and intelligence, as an
organization it has the confusion of
ideas and the feebleness of grasp
which belong to tho senility of ago
that has outlived everythiug but its
passions and the memory of evil deeds.
It cannot escape from the past, and
its tradltione are evil. It cannot
point to one of its leading measures
in thirty years that has not been con
demned by the voice of mankind.
The other day in the senate I asked
the question, what good thing tho
democratic party had done, or propos
ed to do, in the Ia3t twenty-five years,
and I would yield the floor to any
democratic senator who would an
swer. The senator from Deleware,
Mr. Saulsbury, accepted tho chal
lenge, and named the appointment of
investigating committees by the
present democratic house of represen
tatives. Tne answer wa3 an awful
confession, which was painfully felt
by every democrat present, The dis
tinguished senator felt the neceslty of
saying something, and could think of
nothing but the appointment ofsmel
lin committees to enable tho rebels
to find out whether we could not have

The appoachlng contest in Indiana
will be watched with tho deepest in
terest by the whole country. Indiana
Is one of tho three states voting in
October, and the result will exercise a
powerful influence upon the elections
In November. In this point of view
the importance of our success can
hardly be over estimated and no exer
tion ought to bo sparced to secure a
legitimate triumph. The state ticket
presented by the Republican party is
a good one, and it deserves the confi
dence and support of all. Gen. Har
rison, our candidate for governor,
needs no introduction or commenda
tion in this community. His high
character as a man, his distinguished
services a3 a soldier in tho field, his
recognized ability a3 a lawyer, and
his great eloquence as a speaker, qual
ify him in tlio highest degree to lead
tho Republican party to victory in
this great struggle. A Democratic
viotory in October means a triumph of
the Confederate Democraoy through
out the nation in November, the sub
jection of the loyal element of the
north to the rebel of the south, and the
installation at tho national capitol of
the very spirit and Incarnation of the
rebellion.
It is some trouble to get up a Re
publican. You've got to build school
houses, If you want to make a Dem
ocrat tear them down. If you want
to make a Democrat appeal to preju
dices, or appeal to hard times. A
Democratin Illinois thinks thechinch
bug comes of tho Republican admin
istration. Who made tho times hard?
Who made it necessarj' for the United
States to bonow money ? The Dem
ocratic party, north and south. And
now they say we ought to have whip
ped them for less. Hard times! You
will see what hard times mean if you
get tho Democratic party into power.
We've got down to hard pan. And
we are already in the light of the dawn
of a revived business. Ingersoll.
I am glad that we have a party on
whose brow is the eternal sunrise;
that we have a party of freedom,
pledged to the progress and elevation
of the human race, and pledged to
stand by the 'divine rights of man.

POLITICAL.
In a previous letter J said that tho
Tammany and anti-Tammany factions
would make up their differences as
soon as they could come to an agree
ment as to an equitable division of tho
spoils. That time has arrived, and
per consequence, Tammany and anti
Tammany have shaken hands, and
John Morrisey and John Kelly are
fighting together in the pursuit of
government spoils ; the bargain was
virtually consummated weeks ago
the formal ratification was made last
Tuesday. Tho "reformers" divided
up the offices among their henchmen,
down to tho last tido-waiiter they
fixed upon the price of everything,
and having all this done, they march
on hand-in-hand to viotory and the
spoils; alas, there is no anti-Tammany
Morrisey has struck hands with
Kelley, and the forty thieves are act
ingasoneman. They have postponed
their quarrels as all brigands do, till
the great prize of federal plunder is
secured.
Tilden Is running his own cam
paign, as ho always did. He has an
office in Nassau street, at tho head of
which is his nephew, Col. Pelton,
from which a ton, more or less, per
day, of documentary lies aro scattered
broadcast. At his house on Grameroy
Park he has another bureau to which
only tho prominent leaders aro ad
mitted, and at Washington ho has
another. At these various places ev
ery paper in the country Is taken,
they are searched by competent por
sons, and every line favorable to, or
commendatory of Tilden is carefully
cut out, altered and amended so as to
be effective, and printed and sent to
country editors to bo oopied. To all
this matter tho Slippery Samuel care
fully attends, and what pleases hi3
henchmen better, pays for it. He is"
pouring out money like water, and if
cash in hand will elect a President he
will be elected. But to balanco this
ho is vigorously opposed oast and
west. Tho eastern hard-money Dem
ocrats don't like his affiliation with
the Democratic repudlationists of tho
west, and the western Democracy
know that in electing him they are
certafn to bo fooled, and both sides,
and all, in fact who know him at all,
know that all his talk about reform is
a sham, for all his life he has been a
trick', corrupt politician of the Van
Buren school, who believes In bribery
as the one power for elovation. The
man whoso dependence in New York
is tho most corrupt rings tho world
oversaw is a rather thin "Reform"
candidate.
The nomination by tho Republi
cans of Ex-Gov. Morgan for Governor
of this State, and Mr. Rogers for
Lieut. Governor, takes away the last
hope the Democracy have of carrying
New York. They hoped that the
feud existing between Senator Couk
Iin and the other prominent Republi
cans would divide the party and give
them an easy victory. But to their
disgust and to tho delight of all tho
good Republicans of tho State, Cor
nell, supposed to be Conklln's candi
date, gracefully withdrew from the
contest, and threw all his strength,
with the opposite faction, aud nomin
ated Morgan. This action thoroughly
unites the party, and does away with
all doubts as to tho vote of tho State.
Morgan is one of tho best men in the
State ; ho was one of the great war
Governors, and commands tho confi
dence of men of all shades of politi
cal opinion. He combines more
strength than any candidate men
tioned, and will sweep tho State by a
majority of 20,000 or more.
This nomination, following the
Congressional nominations in Ohio,
shows that the Republican party mean
Reform and are in earnest when they
say so. In Ohio the Republican have
nominated Mathews, Cox, Force, Fos
ter, Garfield and Monroe, six of the
ablest and purest men in tho 'State,
and everywhere the rule has been,
"the best." Morgan In this Stato is
a continuation of tho same policy,
and in the other State3 tho same rule
has obtained. The eloction of Hayes
is now a certainty, if the proper work
is put in, and there" is no doubt of that.
Tho country is not yet ready to go in
to the hands of the rebels.
VARIOUS WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.
A boy over in Brooklyn, whose par
ents could not furnish him tho kind
of living he wanted, conceived the
idea of making his own. How did
ho do it? Easily enough. He no
ticed that thousands of people, tired
of paying two or three prices for gas,
had thrown out their meters and wero
using coal oil. The youth knew from
experience that the care of coal oil
lamps was the greatest nuisance in
life, and he went to a dozen or more
families and proposed to clean, trim
and fill their Iamp3 and keep them in
order, for ten cents per day. He
started with twenty, and in a week
had so many on his hands that he
was compelled to tako an assistant,
and it went on till ho ha3 now a score
or two of boys, under wages, and Is
making a great deal of money.
THE ESCAPED FENIANS.
It is only necessary to have the
British flag in any way humbled to
have the Irish in this city go off in a
spasm of delight that is as funny as it
is absurd. Four or five Fenians e3-

caped from the penal colouies in New
Sydney, and landed here tho other
day. As a mattor of course the Irish
gave them an ovation ; and equally,
as a matter of course, zealous Irish
men who don't like work overmuch,
commenced organizing for another
raid on Canada. The first step to
ward liberating Ireland is always to
collect a few thousand dollars from
Irish laborers aud servant girls, which
these patriots always succeed in do
ing, and living luxuriously foff a
while, after which nothing more is
heard of them till another opportuni
ty occurs. This little game is being
played now, and the result is a num
ber of Irish spouters aro seen on the
streets in gorgeous apparel. A move
ment Is on foot for another advance
on Canada, which will result, if it
goes far enough, in another inglorious
retreat upon New York. But the
servant girls Innocent things pay
every timo to save "the blissld owld
sod from the bloody Engllsher."

FOR TJIE-HEATIIEX.
How an Irreverent Saloon Keeper was
Taken In.
From tho San Francisco Call.
The other day, whon tho wind
whistled sad-toned jigs around the
battery, a little old mau entered a sa
loon, in that vicinity, and asked tho
oar-Keeper it no could leave some
tract there.
'A whole car load, If you want to,'
was tho prompt reply, and tho little
old' man placed a package on the ta
ble and softly said :
'There's no nobler cause than tho
causo of the heathou. We should con
tribute a small share of our worldly
wealth to shed tho gospel light across
tho seas.'
A pair of boxing gloves wero softly
reposing on a table, and the little old
man felt of them and went on :
It make3 me sad to see such sinful
thiug3 lying around when the cost of
ono glovo might save a dozen souls in
Africa.'
Three or four of tho boys had drop
ped in, and tho saloon keeper winked
at them and replied :
Do you want to earn $0 for the hea
then?' Verily, I do.'
Put on tho gloves with me and
knock me down, and I'll aute up cash
enough to convert n whole regiment
of African sinners.'
'The cause Is noble, tho inducement
great,' mused the little old man, as ho
toyed with the gloves.
The boys encouraged him to go in
desiring to see him knocked wrong
end up, and ho got out of his over
coats with tho explanation :
It can't beasln to box for the causo
of the heathen.'
The saloonist meant to lift him over
one of tho tables but tho first blow was
warded off very handsomely, and the
littlo old man sighed :
Ah urn! The heathen walk in
wickedness and they have souls to be
saved !'
'Look out now !' cried tho saloonist
as ho got in a left bander.
'Verily, I will, and I will give thee
one in return for the heathen.'
He struck a staggering blow, and
the saloonists didn't feel quite so en
thusiastic as on the start. Ho took
the defensive, and ho soon had all tho
work he could do.
'That's auother for tho ignorant
minds on tho far-offshore!' sighed
the littlo old man as he knocked the
saloonist against the wall.
There wasn't any science about him,
but he struck to kill, and his arms
were flying around like the epoke3 of
a wagon wheel.
'Don't crowd a feller,' called out the
saloonist as he wa3 being driven
back, and ho got mad and put In his
hardest licks. He meant to smash the
little man's ncso as ilat as a window
glass; but he could not do it. Ho got
in two or three fair hits, and was be
ginning to regain his courago, when
the aged stranger remarked :
'My friend, the heatheu call, and I
cannot tarry much longer. Take thi3
one, and it may broaden your views
on the heathen question. Receive
this one in the spirit tendered, and
you may bo sure the five dollars shall
be a beacon light as far as it will go.
Ho delivered two sledge hammer
blows, right and left, and the saloon
ist got the last on the ear as he dodged
the fir3t. He went over In beautiful
styld, and as he slowly regained his
feet he felt in his vest for the wager.
'If you'll come around hereto-night
and no that again I'll double tho mon
ey !' he growled, as he paid the wager.
'My road points to Besting,' softly
replied the old man, and Icannot tar
ry. Let us part friendly, for I only
boxed thee for the heathen's sake. I
gave to thee, thou hast given to the
heathen, and now farewell!'
"That was very greedy of you,
Tommy, to eat your little sister's
share of cake!" "You told me, ma,
I was always to take her part," said
Tommy.
It was Artemu3 Ward who first
promulgated the great principle stolen
by Tilden : "Live within your means
if you have to borrow money from
your frienda to do it."

OFFICIAL PAPER OF TJIECOITXTY.
Tildcn's Weakness.
Tho Now York' Herald says : The'
difficulty with Tilden is that he is too
astute. In this resDect he rprmid nn
of Buchanan. Ho has spent so many
years in finesse, wire-working and in
trigue, in makingand unmaking com
binations, that tho habit has become
a second nature. It was said of tho
late Emperor Napoleon that studying
his character was like opening ouo
door and closing another going from
ohamber to chamber and never com
ing to an end. Tilden is open to the
same criticism. We see the door open
to-day and another to-morrow. When
a politician descends to refining and
finessing, to tho suggesting of ono pol
icy when ho moans another, to play
ing olf friend against friend as a tem
porary expedient, the result must in
tho end bo disastrous. It is precisely
as If a statesman were to Inculcate tho
lesson Machiavelli to princes as seri
ous presentations a polioy without
considering the exquisite irony which
underlies them. It was. a habit of
this kind which brought Mr. Buch
anan to his ruin. Tho temporary ad
vantage which it gives to a politician
In a canvass liko this in New York is
more than lost in tho distrust it
spreads throughout tho ranks of a par-
ty."
On a Furloughi
Col. B-
was standing in the
square at Bethel the other day, when
he spied a farmer who, somo weeks
ago, had sold him a load of very
"crooked" hay. Tho party In ques
tion is an active professor of religion,
and a most zealous worker forhisown
pocket. The man's profession and
practice being in such marked con
trast caused the Colonel to eyo him
with dislike. When ho came up, tho
Colonel charged him with deception'
in tho matter of hay. Tho skin-flint
stoutly denied the charge. The Colo
nel drew himse'f up to full hlght and
disdainfully observed :
'lam a soldier, sir; not a liar!'
'So am I a soldier,' whined the pro
moter of "crooked" hay.
'You!' ejaculated the Colonel, in a.
tone of disgust. 'What kind of a sol
dier are you ?'
'I'm a soldier of the Cro3s,'snId tho.
skin-flint, with a detestable flourish
of the hand.
'That may bo,' aald tho Colonel, drj
ly, 'but you've boen on a furlough
ever ahice I knew you." Dembuey
News.
But I sa 3' if tho Democratic party
gets tho power, the Union soldier will
have to hide his scar3. If Samuel J. .
Tilden is elected President, be willUo"
tho tool and the instrument of the
southern Democracy. Did the south
ern Democracy ever allow the north
ern Democracy to manage-? They
never did and they never will. After
the war was over the Republicans told
the nogroo he was free, and that he
must be a citizen And havo the ballot.
Tho Democratic party voted against
all theso measures. Mr. Hendricks
spoke in the United States Sonateand
said thero was no power in the people
to change the Constitution and mako
the slave free. Ho to-day believes
these persons were unlawfully do
prived of their property, and he will
vote to pay them for their property.

fatory of James Bucnanan's unsuccess
ful love. He was affianced to a lady
of Lancaster. Arriving in town late
one evening, he donned dressing
gown and slippers, and tempted by
the cool breezVout of doors, atrolled
up and clown the sidewalk In front of
his lodgings. A ladj' acquaintance
across tho street called to him and ho
went over and exchanged a few com
monplace remarks with her. A.
chance caller at the lady's house, on
her way homo stopped at the resi
dence of Mr. Buchanan's chosen lover
and told her that ho was In town, and
though tired and dusty, had found time
to pay a visit to another lady. Next
morning the recipientof this informa
tion was found dead in her bed, hav
ing committed suicide with laudanum.
Mr. Buchanan never recovered from,
