CoL. JUSSEN, the brother-in-law of Carl Schurz, says the latter never com‘mitted a greater blunder than when he declared for Hayes and Wheeler. gl'ought_ to begin f’to see that himf‘ ) o :

" Tae most distinct promise of reform which Hayes makes in his letter of acceptance is that he will retain all of Grant's office-holder’s., Whereupon Carl Schurz and the New York Tri‘busie shout in ‘chorus, “What a noble and sincere po]itical? reformer!”

IT{sEEMS to be generally conceded that “our” Bayless W. Hanna made a dunce of himself by inﬂictinq alengthy speecti upon Gov. Tilden, in addition tothe usual notification by General McClernand, chairman of the committee. Ordinarily, it doesn’t require much of an effort for Bayless to exhibit his assinine qualities. =~

. IN RESPONSE to the unanimous vote of the House censuring Gen. Schenck for his connection with the Emma mine swindle while Minister to England, the Republicans of the Dayton, 0., district are considering the propriety of running him for Congress. “They are indignant at his treatment by the “confederate”. House.

REFORXM is essential in the expenditures of the government which have been swollen: from five dollars a head in 1860 to eighteen.dollars a head in 1875. A democratic house has taken

~ the first great initiatory step in the 'Y work of reform by making a reduction ! of nearly $40,000,000 in the expendi- " tures of the present fiscal year.. -

Gov. HAYEs, in his lettér, announces the doctrine that joffices are established as rewards for good men, and not merely for the service -of the public. This is a slight advance on the doctrine and practice of Grant that the offices of the people are rewards for personal favorites. Both grossly mis‘congeive the objects for which offices are created in a republican government. - "1 -

OxE of the great issues in‘the present contest is thie reform of the reve‘nue system and the relief of the people from an odieus and intelerable weight of taxation. The democratic party is pledged to this reform by its platform and its_candidates, and the democratic House has prepared the way for its complete accomplishment by reducing the expenditures of gov‘ernment_for -the present year to the amount of nearly $40,000,000.

Wx. H. HERNDON, of Tllinois, for 25 years the law partner and bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln, has decl for Tilden and Hendricks. At gmgation meeting held at Springfield, July Bth, he declared that he was for Tilden and Hendricks and reform, and should labor from now until November nexton ine stump, through the press and through every conservative channel by which thought could reach thought® for their elestion. His speech was received with great applause. | v‘___i‘_;; SEEE ek

. IT seems more than prebable that for grievances personal to themselves " 'thecoal miners of Ohio will vote solid . against Governor Hayes. There are 33,000 miners in that State and if they ~_go all one way it will make the re- . sult in November more thin doubtful. Doubtless, the Harrisburg Patriot informs us, Governor flayes will lose largely in ‘Pennsylvania among the - - miners.. No eraftsmen in the country appear to act with a more sympathetic’ .. regard for their own interests than * ° the miners. o s e

OVER two hundred cigar manufaeturers of St. Louis have sent a petition ,tn' Congress praying: for a reduction of the fax on cigars from $6 to 85 per 4,000. They claim that the theory en which the increase of tax was based (by the act of March 3, 1875)—that the consumer would pay the $1 m'c_rgage._ has proven false. 'They deelare that the manufactarer himself has to stand a loss of ten cents per box by the present revenue, and this they contend is oppressive.

~ THE CERTAINTY OF VICTORY. Closely following the nomination Gov. Tilden, by the su&am‘xz‘% tion, THE BANNER predicted in terms. of more than ordinary positiveness that the nominees of that qp’;ventipqé would be triumphantly elected, Our reasons for this confident prediction have since been stated in various forms,-and their- correctness is daily ‘being confirmed by the cheering reperts from.all directions of the country, but more especially so from Indiiana and Onio. Indiana is no longer considered a doubtful State—the election of Blue Jeans Williams being generally conceded. In Ohio the entbu_siafm for Tilden is daily growing in ‘extent and fervor, and if the reform cause |continues to grow as it has grown during the past four weeks, it will soon "be possible to count with reasonable certainty upon the Buckeye electoral vote for Tilden and Hendricks. ° AR

But notwithstanding all this. we occasionally run across some ardent Republican who, like the ostrich, runs his- heﬁd into the sand and lulls himgelf into a state of imaginary security. This-class of individuals assume that because the Republicans have been successful since 1860, the idea of a possible defeat’in 1876 is not to be entertained. = No reasons are assigned for this singular faith, simply beeause none ¢an be given. .- - -For' the benefit of all such, we beg tosubmit a few facts and figures that } may be calculated to open-their eyes to the true condition of the political ‘gituation.

. 'This exhibit, carefully compiled from authentic sources, will undoubtedly s:tartle the public; for; though the revolution in the political sentiment of the people has been recognized and accepted, its full extent has ‘not been generally realized. The returns of the elections from the year 1874 show us that in the course of four years a party which elected its President by a majority of oyer threequarters of a million of votes has been put in g minority of over quarter a million of votes. This party carried thirty States in 1872, and by the close of 1874 had lost all but eleven of them— Pennsylvania and Ohio, enumerated among the republican States, having given decisive democratic majorities that year, and were lost to.the Democracy the year following through the very stupidity which was so handsomely avoided at St. Louis.” There has been no such political overturning in so short a period in our history as a people. - Never-before has a Federal administration received so rapid and overwhelming a condemnation .fromthose who placed it in power. A study of the table given ‘above will reveal to the curious inguirer ‘how thorough and general has been the Tloss of strength to the republican party since 1872. - Every State which gave a Republican majority in 1873 has since (in its latest election) given an Opposition majority or a greatly reduced Republican majority, and every State which gave any Opposition majority in 1872 has given a greatly increaseéd Opposition majority since then. 'There is- not a single exception to this statement. There has been a steady Republican loss everywhere and a steady Opposition gain everywhere. @ &

In the list of demoeratic States, ot a single State is enumerated {with the possible exception of Nevada) that is not morally certain to cast its electorlal votes for Tilden and Hendricks. Deducting Nevada's three electoral votes, Tilden would still have sixteen more than necessary to an election. Florida may be gafely relied upon for ‘Tilden, although plgced among the States that are classed doubtful. ~ But we propose to show that Til‘den can be electéd even without the aid of Indiana—though it «is hardly worth our while to speculate upon so improbable an event as thie loss of this State. ' 1t i 8 & fact that whatever /the result'in the October ‘States may be, the Democracy of the Union have only to hold the States which arenow democratie, as proved in their latest elections; to wit; the Southern States (South Caroline always excepted), with 135 votes; the Pacific States. {California, Oregon and Nevada), with 12 votes: and the Metropolitan States (New York, New Jetsey and Connecticut), with 50 yotes, in order to eleot a democratie President. . The eleetorai votesof these three groups of Statés not, only constityte g majority of all.

that- will be cast, but they cannot be affected adversely by any possible re. and Indmana, = - ‘T "1t st ow-seoms mast prabiuble, Wl hall carry Indiana and OBi in Ocbo: rﬁ, ‘Tilden's '-ielecqqu;‘“wi%i accoms plished by an immense majority. From the New England States New Hampshire would in that event surely wheelinto the democratic lines, with,§ fair prospect of even Massachusetts following suit. Of the Middle States, Pennsylvania would be transferred to the democratic-column. -The West ‘would respond:ito: the battle ery of ’T'ilden and Referm by giving us Hlinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and probaLly Minnesota. .In brief, a good sendoff in October will. settle the eontest. in’ favor of Tilden’ and = Hendricks without further effort. ST

TaE LaPorte 4rgus does not mourn’ over the fact that Brick Pomeroy opposes the election of Uncle Sam Til-. den. Itsays: “The fact that Pomeroy has for years so.conducted his paper that the Republicans have made, it a valuabe eampaign document for their benelit leads us to think that his refusal to support Tilden is the best thing that could happen for the party. His radicalism and intemperance of speeéi:h has driven thousands of eonservat®veé men trom the partyand prevented thousands of liberal minded Republicans from becoming active Democrats. llepretends tobe a political reformer, but refuses to support a reform ticket, and the secret of the refusal to support Tilden undoubtedly lies in the fact that Tilden and his Democratic friends in'New York failed to farnish Brick ' Poméroy with money enough to establish a daily paper in New York city. Brick sunk a large fortune in that venture and is now “a bankrupt and he feels bitter toward the New' York Democrats because they did not support him better. His ‘refusal to support Tilden will be a benefit rather than an injury to the party and no one knows this better than .the Republican leaders.” Correct. 7

‘A CONTEMPORARY shows' -that in every instance in the political history of the country the party that has secured the majority in the ITouse of Representatives two years éarlier than the Presidential election has elected its candidate for President. There will be no exception to the rule this year. 'The demogratiq House has justified the confidence of the country by investigating the corruptions and iniquities of the administration, by exposing and impeaching dishonest offieials, and by reducing the public expenditures to the enermous amount of nearly $40,000,000 in one year. In spite of the resistance of the republican majority in the Senate, the House is redeeming its pledges of reform and economy and the’ people are resolved that this great work shall go on to its successful accomplishment under the administration of Samuel J. Tilden. There will be no faltering or turning back until the Government is wrested from the hands of the spoilers. The 'uuanimity with which the St. Loqi-s convention turned to Tilden is but an index of the feeling that pervades the whole country. All other issues are ‘postponed in the one overwhelming | demand for reform of theadministra—tion of the government. , !

- UNDER the present spoils-system, the power of the Federal Administration intrenched in office, and wielding the influence of 80,000 office-hplders against an opposition with none, is simply .tremendous, and its advan‘tages in the conflict are very great, though the battle-field should extend over the whole Unlon. Much more powerful'is its influence,much greater are its ddvantages, when:it can concentrate upon a few States the speakers unoccupied at home, the money collected all over the land from contractors, office-holders, Indian. rings, distriet rings, whisky rings and the ‘whole horde of public plunderers who have come ipto exisfence along with the republican party, grown withrits growth and strengthened with its strength. It will require no small effort to combat such influences; yet such is the: determination of the people to efféct a change of rulers, that we feel confident of an overwhelming vietory. * Indiana will roll up a rousing majority for Blue Jeans Williams in' October, and a much larger one for Uncle Sam Tilden in November.

* THE New York World calls the attention of those republican organs that seek to make a point against the St. ‘Louis nominees because John Morrissey advocated the nomination of Til den, to the fact that Morrissey was elected a member of the ‘New York Senate by the Republicans last fall, and every republican paper of New York pronounced him a most excellent man. The Times said: “Morrissey at any rate would never take a “bribe, and has never stolen any mon.ey—rugged virtues, no doubt, but it ‘is not everybody who can boast of possessing them. Jobn Morrissey -ought to receive the vote of every citizen.” Will the Albion‘ Era please make a note of this?

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Times, writing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, states that the Republicans 6f that State are very much.disheartened by the popularity of the nomination of Tilden and that the Democrats express the opinion with great confi‘dence that Wisconsin will go demo_eratic In November by at least 10,000, ‘ln the lake-shore counties the majority for Tilden is estimated at 20,000, Last year tlie State was very ¢lose, the Dembocrats electing the greater part of their ticket, while in-1874 the democratie angd independent :¢oalition triumphed liandsomely. - .

Not to name a higher example, they ‘might’ bave mentioned the intimate relations of George Washington and Benedict Arnold. .

| The mews kﬁhe seat of the Ind- ; ar:shows that_the hostile Siowgf ate now Gamped not far from the ‘scene of the late @efeat of Gen. Custe; ‘ﬁa Little B ' dorn. Mea-nw,h,ig:g General Merkibt; ‘who has forced t Cheyennes baick to their agencies, has ‘left Fort Laramie, will reach Fort LE :man on the 25th, and will join I‘Gen.‘ Crook: about the Sth of August. Crook will then have a force of 1,837 ‘men, not inétuding officers, packers

and camp-followers,. or probably.2,ooo men all told. Meanwhile, Gen Terry’s column is maiching southwaid to upite his force ‘and co-operate with Crook ; ‘but, should he fail to make the junction on-the sth of Awugust, when Gen. Mertitt, arrives, Crook will at once strike the Indians—if the Indians will wait in their present locality. In the conduct of the campaign, Gen. Sherman has made a suggestior. which is the key to the whole situation. He says: "“Take away.their ponies.” This ‘would keep the Indians upon their reservations. 'Take away their ponies and they eannot travel. They cannot carry their luggage nor their provisions. They cannot take women and children, and cannot establish villages. They could then be pursaed by infantry dt an ‘equality and Dy ecuv‘alry at an advantage. ‘Their arms cannot be taken away, for they ean hide them, but they ean’t hide their ponies. Taking away the three or four ponies that .every Indian owns would be like taking his right arm off. He would be at the miercy of our troops at once, and would be gompelled to stay on his reseryation.’ 605

: —lnformation has been received ‘at Ft. Leavenworth to the effect that a mining party, consisting of four men, had been found shot and scalped about twenty miles north of Fort Laramie. The bodies were not mutilated, but were scalped and stripped of everything. The name of ouly one of the miners was given in the dispatch, being one Laughlin. The first name was not given., He was from St. Louis. Two of the others are believed to have been from Alton, Mo., as some of the boxes which held their effects were marked so. . . ;

The official dispatches repoit that General Merritt has overtaken the 800 Cheyenne children of nature and sons of the forest who had left the Red Cloud agency to reinforce Gen. Sitting Bull, and returned them to the agency, where they will be compelled to live upon provisions furnished by the United States, and do nothing for a living, their food and expenses being. paid by the white people. This is both kind and considerate. ~ The Indian should not be harshly treated in hot weather. . And yet there are people who will ask the absurd question: Would the Cheyennes have sent Gen. Merritt to the agency if they had eaptured him? . i : —Advices from Bismarck state that the report-of the death of Sitting Bull is confirmed by the Indians. He was one of the nine chiefs killed in the Little Big Horn fight, in-which Gen. Custer and five companies of the Seventh Cavalry perished. Crazy Horse and Black Moon were alsp among the number. The total Indian loss in that engagement was 400, of whom 160 belonged to Sitting Bull’s band. : ee D ARt i A .
