TILDEX AND IfEyDXICKX.
Tlie nomination of Samuel J. TilJeii
ot New York , tor the presidency, by the
(St. Louis convention, ujwn a double-face-I
plat form as to the currency ques
tion, is the .strongest evidence ot the
iuvulueiablo strength of Hayes and
Wheeler with the masses of the people,
yet oSereJ. With a formidable divis
ion of the party opposed to him iu his
own State, with the conviction that bc.j
v .w a va a K.it'vv w w w i
lit party in tho west," the convention
nevertheless was coerced by tho Wall
trcct and railroad influence into accept
ing him as the standard-bearer during
the puscnt campaign. That Mr. Til"
den has used large sums of money to
secure this nomination seems to be con
ceded by the press of both parties. Mon
ey may bo a strong instrumentality with
which to command a nomination, and
to manufacture enthusiasm during a
campaign ; but it cannot procure a suf
ficient number of votes iu November
to influence the result, except iu closely
contested States. The October elec
tions are now confined to Ohio and In
diana, -la these States, the Tilden tac
tics will be used to the utmost, with
the hope of gaining the prestige of suc
cess from t!e first elections held after
the nominations are made, and with a
view or influencing New York in No
vember. In the three States named,
the political battle will be conducted
with, all the skill and com age which
able leaders can command. On this
field will bo centered all Ahe resources
of both parties. Elsewhere the contest
will be left principally to local influen
ces ; but in these keys of the position
no influence will' be left untried to
wrest from, each other the palm of" vic
tory. Around Mr. Tilden's banneT
will be gathered the representatives of
the monopoly it-fluence of the nation,
who are naturally alliei to the man
Tilden ; while tlie platform wi l be
appealed to as evidence that the party
is in the interest ot tlie people. The
Chicago IVibune truly portrays what
the character of the contest will be in
the following paragraph : -
The Republican party have now the
knowledge of whom they have to deal
with.'? They have to deal with a des
perate, unscrupulous foe, armed with
immense wealth, controlling a legion of
. agents skilled in all the machinery ot
fraudulent ejections, and depsite all dif
ferences of opinion about men and meas
ures, united to a man for the purpose of
defeating the Hepubhcan party and gam
ing possession ot the goverimeut. The
fact that a large majority of the people
are onquestionably in favor ot- Hayes
and Wheeler will not deter this Demo
cratic party from making as vigorous
a fight as it it were assured of success.
The prize is too tempting, and has
been waited for too long, to be given
up without a battle, the more bitterly
to be contested because of its very des
peration. ..
Air. Hendricks has received the nomi
nation for Vice President. This is an
appropriate nomination ; it corresponds
with the platform.' Mr. Tilden can
appeal to one part in justification of his
attitude and Hendricks the other. It
will be surprising if before the. canvass
its ended the two parts of the ticket do
not fall apart, the one going iu one di
rection and the other in another. Such
. incongruous elements were never before
combined ou a national ticket iu this
country. Est.

Table Talk In Dnnbwy.
The Journal of ' IleaUh says that
talking at the table ia one of the very
best digesters. This, then, accounts tor
the treineudou appetite everybody has
for the Sunday dinner. We never could
undei stand why, with scarcely any ex
ercise on Sunday, the dinner ot that
day should be heartier and more anx
iously sought tor than any. other dinner.
Many real good Christian people wiil
sacrifice Sun Jay School, where it is noon
session, in order to get home for some
thing to eat. Although the breakfast
has been later than any other of the
week, still noon brings a most ravenous
appetite. ' But it is all exp'ained now.

body knows that Sunday breakfast is
the longest on the floor and is more

week. This is the way it comes about.
The childreu are to be got up -and got

long peop'e have been married, the wo
man always gets the breakfast ready as
soon as she has called the childreu.
They don't come as a general thing when
they are called, but no woman allows
this to influence her actions. She gets
the breakfast just as punctually as if she
bad never had to wait an hour or so for
a dilatory family. This is the grandest
illustration of the sublime faith of wom
an to be found on record. With one or
two of the older children about her 6he

ing of the breakfast would make it a
repast of lead were it not for the conver
sation which flows smoothly 011. Aud
the great variety ot subjects discussed is
an important element iu the develop,
ment ot the gastric juices. There's her
husband, who, seeing the breakfast
alsuit ready, thoughtfully arranges his
shaving articles, and falls to lathering
his face just as lie is calle3 to the table.
It occurs to him that there should lie
some explanation ot why the meals is
always brought on just as lie gets to
shaving, and he demands it. Then she
wants to know why jeople will persist
in shaving when they know the break
fast is right before them. Thus is one
subject disposed ot. Then there is the
boy who ia bound to have two cups ot

A Love Story of Kaiser William.
The German edition of the Daily

ou this side of the water for a love

to the effect that when Prince Wi'liatn,

teen, he lodged in the house ot a well- :
to-do citizen at Dizier, who had a veiy j

into her house and showed them the

Creator with certain unalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty aud the pur
suit of happiness; that tor the attainment
nf these ends governments have been Insti
tuted among men, deriving their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed."
Until these truths are cheerfully obey ed.or,
it need be, vigorously enforced, the work
ot the Republican party is unfinished, i
3. The permanent pacification ot the
Southern section ot the Union, and the flee
jirotection of all its citizens in the free en
oyment of all their rights and duties,- to
which the Repubirean party stands sacredly
pledged. The power to provide for the en
forcement of the principles embodied in
the recent Constitutional amendment is
vested by those amendments in tlie Congress
of the United States, and we declare it to
be the solemn obligation of the legislative
and executive department of the govern-
merit to put into immediate aud vigorous
exercise all their constitutional powers for
removing any jiwt.es uses for discontent on
the part of any class, and for securing to
every Atneru-an citiZ' i) complete hiierty
and exact equality in the exercise ot all
civil, political and public rights. To this
end we Imperatively, demand a Congress
.Hid a Chief Executive, whose courage and
fidelity to these duties shall not fiilter until
these results are placed beyond dispute or
recall. ; r : 5 ,
4. In the flrt act of Congress signed by
President Omit, the National Government
assumed to remove any donhts of its pnr
poe ro di-ccliare !U jut olligalioiis to the
public creditors, and "solemnly, pledged its
f;iith to m:ike provKitms Ht the earliest prnc
ticable periotl for the redemption of the
United States notes in coin." Commercial
prosperity, public inonils and national cred
it demand that the promise lie fulfilled by
n continuous and steady progress to. specie
payment.
5. Under the Constitution, the President
and beads of departments are to make tioni-'
iuatious for office, the Senate is to advi-e
and consent to appointmeuts.nnd the Ilou-e
of Representatives Is to accuse and prose
cute faithless otticers. - The ber lnferest of
the public service demands tbt these dis
tinctions be respected ; that fiVtors and
liepi-esentative who may bejikiges and ac
cusers, slioufd not dictate appointments to
ofHce. The invariable rule in appointments
should have reference to tlie honesty, fideli
ty and capacity of tlie appointees, giving
to the party fn power those places wlivre
harmony and vigor nf Rdiahilstratfon re
quire tts policy to be represented, but per
mitting all others to e filled by 'Arsons
selected with sole reference to the efficiency
to the public service, nisi the right nf all
citizens to share in the honor of rendering
faithfnl service to the tonntry
8. W e' rejoice in the quickened conscience
of the people concerning political affairs,
and will hold all public officers to a rigid
responsibility, and engage that the prose
cinion aud punishment of all who betray
official trusts shall be swift, thorough, and
unsparing. . ,
7. Tlie public school svsfem of the several
St-ites is tlie bulwark of tlie Amefi-au Re
public, aud with a view to irs security and
permanence. we recommend an ni:;endmenf
to the Constitution of the United States for
hiiiding the appropriation of auv public
funds or property for the lienefit nf any
schools or Institutions under sectarian con
trol. 8. The revenue necessary for enrrent ex--penail
tires and the obligations of the pnblie
debt, must be largely derived from duties
upon importations, which, so far as possi
ble, should be adjusted to promote the in
terests of American labor, and advance the
prusjM'rity of the whoie country.
9. We reaffirm our opposition to further
grants of the publicTands to corporations
aud monoKlies. and demand that the na
tional domain be devoted to the free uses of
the people. . - '-'".
10. It is the ifjipemHye duty of the government-
so to Hiodily existing treaties wiih
EiiroH-au govertonents that the same pro
tection shall be afforded to the adapted
American citizen tb.ir Is given to the nalive
born, and that all necessary laws should be
passed to protect immigrant, in the ab
sence ot power iu the States for that pur
pose. . 5 '
11. It is tlie immediate duty of Congress
to fully inviestiijate the effect nf th" immi
gration and importation of Mongolian ur
ttii the moral mid material interests ot the
country. -,
12. The Republican party recognizes with
approval the substantial advances recently
made toward tho establishment of equal
rights tor woman by the many Important
'sunendineufs effecteil by Repirblican legis
latures, iu the laws which concern tie per
sonal ami property, relations ot wives,
