No party can r ought to command the
Confidence and support of the people

their trust broadly, intelligently, effect

. At one. of our fashionable hotels the

stked a guest of the Democratic per-
BOasion whether he preferreu his eggs
boiled hard or soft. The reformer
lifted up hlb glaring eyes and said "this
is too mnch," he had been bored and
annoyed with tins question enough on
bis way from St. Louis, and now to
have it put to hitn squarely by a -sad die
colored waiter wheflier he preferred
hard or soft?" was too-much,' and he
forhtwith left the hotel and traveled
West muttering "I wish Henden and Til
dricks were In China before they mixed

There must be 'hope for a nation that

The Democratic Congressional com
mittee had prepared an immense amount
of statistics, speeches, and documents
for the campaign which they now have
on hand and find nseless. Prominent
among these articles that now have to
be sold as waste paper are twenty tons
of slander of Blame, aud about the same
amount of documents aga'.ntt a third
term,- forty, tons of articles against
Csesarism, and any number of eulogies
on the lifeand character of Bayard,

THE DEMOCRATIC JiOlTIT.
The great question fur the people to
decide next November is whether they
are ready and willing to at once sur
render the government ,6t this great
country into the hands ot the very men
who a few years since sought to destroy
it by rebellion. This cannot be gain,
sayed, for it is well known that the main
reliance for the success of the Democracy
is upon a solid vote from the States
forming the late Confederacy. With
out this they recognize the hopelessness
of their cause.
On the 24th an engine and train over
the branch line of the Central Pacific,
between Oat laud and Berkely, Cali
fornia, was brought to a halt by an old
lady, who was sitting on the track.
The train came to a halt and the em
ployes advanced to remove her, but she
drove them back with a revolver, and
the train was compelled to retire. The
Company 4iad laid the track across the
old lady's land despite her refusal to ac
cept the terms offered for right of way.
Gritty old lady, any way.

The letter of Governor Hayes, accept
ing the Republican nomination for the
Presidency, appears in our columns this
morning. It is a moddle letter of its
kind, and one which will greatly en.
ance the high regarcl in which the Re
publican standard-bearer is held.' Noth
ing could be more concise, clear and d:-
rect. It is a platform in itself and one

DEMOCRATIC REFORMERS.
Already the name ot John Morrissey
is announced as a very proper one for a
place in Tilden's Cabinet. He certainly
should be rewarded by such a recogni
tion, as the nomination was lafgely duo
to his manipulation" at St. Louis. In
the 'event ot si'ccess.McMullin, the
Philadelphia bully, and Randall's alter
nate, is to be made Collector of the port
of Philadelphia. To complete such
meritorious selections, we beg to suggest
that the position of Judge of the Crim
inal Court would be a proper , recogni
tion ot the work of Slatter, the recently
pardoned murderer.5 To" complete the
bill, that eminent "Reformer," Boss
Tweed, should be appointed Treasurer
of the United States, when the quartet
would be complete. A sweet set of
"reformers, truly. :
THE WIIX OF THE PEOPLE.
- The honesty of tlie great Democratic
reformer is clearly shown in his very
modest remark, when his nomination
was announced to him, that it was not
the work of politicians in convention,
but a clever, expression ot the will of
the people in favor ot reform. He well
knew, as did his hearem and thousands
of others, that it was' but the result of
systematic and perstent efforts on the
part ot himself and his Supporters at
Albany, running through a pen.d ot
more than a year, as well as a consider
able expenditure of money. 'r Not,
newspaper in the country, which wa
known to favor the Democracy, but lias
been furnished wkh material urging his
nomination, for the publication of which
they were to be paid a small considera
tion od , sending the bill to Albany.
Truly;, the will .of the people; is - very
pliable when it can t9 directed by such
scheming, .

Samuel J. Tilden, present Democratic
candidate for the Presidency of, thee
United States, and Wm. M. Tweed, the
notorious New York thief, were formerly
bosom friends." Abundant and conclu
sive evidence is fast accumulating that a
portion of the money stolen by Tweed
was used by .Tilden aiid his fellow.poli
ticiai.s to run the Democratic machine
Tweed had special favors shown him
while confined on the island. While at
Lndlow-street jail he was permitted to
go about the city in charge of an oflicer.
It will be remembered that he escaped
from custody while at his home in New
York. Some power from behind the
throne helped him. Circumstances point
to Tilden as that power. Certain it is
that as Governor ot New York he has
made no effort to discover his whereabouts-
Not a dollar of reward lias
been offered for his capture. Even the
Democratic Sheriff who allowed him to
escape, still holds his position. '
The following letters may throw a
ray of light on the relationship existing
when Tweed was in his glory, between
h'mselt and the present candidate for
Democratic honors on the so-called re
form ticket : - '

My Dear Sir : L decided to go to

not be able to see you before I leave.

has applied He wou'd be content with

The friends of Samuel, the Reformer,
are now asked to rie and explain what
he did with the $5,000 received from
Tweed. As the Democracy cast over
50,000 fraudulent votes in the city of
New York in the fall of 1868, the re
ceipt of this. money from Tweed, the
Ikead of the Ring, loots suspicious, to
say the least. .

When secession was threatened and
oyal men forgot parly aud thought only
ot the danger to the nation, Gov. Tilden
wrote: - "The f tamers of our Govern

The Democratic nominations for the
Presidency and Yice Presidency still
hang fire, neither Ti'den" or Hendricks
having conformed to the custom and
written letters of .acceptance, and - as a
consequence tiie . Democratic under lip
hangs exceedingly low. Late telegrams
say that Tilden and Hendricks have had
several meetings for the purpose ot "har
monizing' but at each meeting the
breech grows wider. Poor follows, bnt
what a stew they are in ! And yet it is
all unnecessary j there being no possi
bility of the success of the Democratic
ticket, what' the use of worriment over
a difference ot opinion as to which is
the greatest man, a"d entitled -to; the
"say" ? Neither of yon, gentlemen, are
"great." to hurt, as j'our present attitude
toward each other clearly proves.
If ORSE AND CATTLE THIEVES
It is pretty well understood, and gen-
crly believed fcmoug stc-ck men, that a
wel! organized baud ot horse thieves
have their headquarters located at some
point 011 the Columbia above the month
of Snake rirer. There is a growing un
easiness among stock mni in that quar
ter, and they have but little assurance
that they will ever find cattle or horses
that have strayed awav for any length
of time".
This baud, wc .understand, are be
lieved to extend their operations as far
down as the Hudson Bay farm, on the
Walla Walla. A few head of cattle
and horses are. occasionally missing ami
are not apt to turn tip again. This is
happening at various points at brief in
tervals. These men have been seen
swimming small bands of cattle and
horses across the Columbia, where the
probabilities of the owners finding them
are more remote, while the danger to
tlie thieves is les, and the chances for
working them off are more numerous.
Many of the cattle, it is thought, are
slaught- red for sa'c t Indians and Chi
namen working in the mines on the
t'olumbia river. To avoid detection
the hides are either sunk1 in tlie river or
effectually put out of sight by some
other mean0. Stoh n horses are driven
to British Columbia, win re the robbers
can afford 1 3 sell them at cay use prices.
A suspicion exists in the munis t
pome of the stock men who have suffer
ed from their depredations, that they
have cc nfederates in v al a Wall3, al
though as lar as we can ascertain no
particular man ha suffered in his repu
tation 'thus far. The band appear to
have their plan o operations well, or
ganized,- and t conduct their stealing
with a good deal ot system and dispatch.
Evidence and suspicion has been accum-
11 ating for a year or more that a hand
of Hsoundre s was dealing in caHle aud
horse flesh -m the Cofnmba.r and yet it
aj-pears that no effort has been made to
ascertain the reaUfaets of their existence
and vgei atibnsf or Am brig them to jus
tice.' A strong" and general "feeling ot
insecurity exists among cattle and horse
men who have their bauds ranging in
the inflated district.
This tit'amonsbuisness will grow dan
gerous one of these days, when forbear
ance loses its character of seemina in

The sudden departure of Mr. Jewell
from the Cabinet, and the immediate
nomination of Judge Tyner to fill his
place, was not so much of a surprise
among the knowing ones here. Not
withstanding' Sir. Jewell was very
affable, he leaves the Post Office De
partment with fewer friend samong the
clerks than any Postmaster General
ever preceding him. This fact is ac
counted for by reason that he treated
the clerks as he had been accustomed
to treat his employees, "his hands," as
he styled them, iu his Connecticut tan
nery. Whatever may be said in com
mendation"" of this ex-P. M. G. the
country may be assured, if the Presi
dent shall feel the necessity of giving
the reason for asking his resignation,
his reason will be satisfactory. Our
new Postmaster General, Judge Tyner,
is the right man in the right place.
With a thorough knowledge of the
internal workings ot the Post Office
Department and postal affairs generally
througliout the country, with tlie in
stincts of a perfect gentleman, he cannot
help proving a valuable acquisition to
the public service.
The President's letter to Ex-Secretary
Bristow is like a bomb shell in the
Democratic carup. It is thought that so
much having been said concerning the
whisky ring frauds to the injury of the
President, that he, the President, will
urge the different members of his cabi
net to go before the committee and
testify to everything that has lieen
spoken in cabinet meetings. Sho'ild
this be done doubtless the country
would be shown that the President was
among the foremost in devising the
ways to "nnearth these whisky frauds,
and not that he, as has been reported,
was anxious to shield the guilty ones.
' The nomination yesterday of Judge
Settle of the Supreme Court of North
( aiolina, for Governor of that State, is
affecting Mr. Vance sorely. In talking
with a Democrat the other day, Mr. V.
said that his State was not by any means
su'e tor Tilden and Hendricks, but "As
far as he was concerned in his Congress
ional district he was all right. Mr. V.
wants the Democratic National Com
mittee to spend money in his State.
The heated term is iu full blast and
the thermometer, ranging close to 100
degrees in he" sliade; so also, with the
ideas of the Democracy iu their so-called
economy; ana one would suppose tnai
the Uonee of Representatives expected
the Diplomatic and Consular represen
tatives of the United States to live by
torasiiui on the different countries to
which they may be severally accredited;
that the Navy, like Job's asses, could

flowing sails, and tlie Army, while fight
