When He Was a Candidate. for Gov- . ernor. . o

Tre BANNER, respectfully invites the attention of Gen. Lee to the followjn§ quotations from prominent independent and republican journals of New York: . : -

" An admirable man' for public office. N. Y. Evening Post (Rep.) :

Samuel J. Tilden we believe to be a thoroughly honest man.—XN. Y. Journal of Commerce (Ind.) £

In public and private life, as a Democrat and as a citizen, his record challenges scrutiny,—N. Y. Mail (Ind.) “No one will deny his eminent respectability, or venture to cast any doubts upon his integrity.—Brooklyn Union (Rep.) . : We have respect for Mr. Tilden. We uttemnothing in disparagement of his character or his worth.—Albany Journal (Rep.) | )

His honesty and integrity lift him above the foul atmosphere in which they plan their nefarious purposes.— Brooklyn Argus (Ing) / We respect Mr. Tilden personally, and are glad to’ have an honorable opponent in the coming eampaign.—Bu/fJalo Express (Rep.) . S Mr..Tilden is a highly respectable candidate, and no man- in -the State who wishes to see the return of the Democrats to_ power need be ashamed .to vote for him.—X. Y. Times (Rep.) . We congratulate our :demoqratic Wriends on being led by so respectable a standard-bearer as Samuel J. Tilden. It is a good sign of the. times when even the .Democracy can nominate such a man.— Poughkeepsie Eagle - (Rep.) s T

He has always had the reputation of high personal character, and his opposition to the Tweed gang of thieves has even placed him in some dgree among political reformers. Mr. Tilden is a man of great wealth, and is generally recognized, we should say, as a thoroughly safe conservative person—lroy Whig (Rep.) ' S ity 4 LD T i An Aecident, . On Sunday evening, as Mr. S. Mier returned from a drive with his family in his fine czlrriage. a rather serious accident occurred, resulting in considerable. damage to the carriage and ‘some injury to himself. The particulars are about-as follows: The carriagé had stopped in front of the residence, when Mr. Mier turned the team a little to let the family get out. But in doing’'so he turned rather abruptly, s 0 as to cause the vehicle to be tipped over and the family thrown out. At this the horses took fright and started to run. Mr. Mier remained in the carriage until the team ran some distance, when hé'was thrown out, and, from the injuries he sustained, must have fallen with his. side upon the wheel.- There wereno bones broken, however, and Mr. Mier is convalescing as rapidly as could be expected, though we believe he is still confined to his bed. 3 )

An experience of twenty years has furnished satisfactory proof that it is impossible for a business man to successfully carry on business by trying to shoulder the burdens of .a class of customers-whose selfwill impels them to make use of a dealei’s goods, but who unfortunately nevey reflect that the dealer needs his money to keep up his credit. “The centennial year, during"which so many reforms are to be inaugurated, is a good time to begin a reform in this matter. It will prove beneficial alike to customer and dealer, as experience will demonstrate, Give it a fair trial, gentlemen, and you will be convinced. ‘ 17-tf F. W. SHINKE & Bro. . ——elp -Pl A Handsome Compliment. (From the Warsaw Indianian, August 3d.) ‘We have no hesitancy in Saying that the I.igonier BANNER is one of the best Democratic journals that reaches our exchange table. = It is always neatly printed;. full of reading matter; all printed at home, in a town much smaller than a great many, where the ready-peinted sheets are used, and is in every respect deserving of the patronage it is receiving, and much more even than it gets. Politically, weare, of course, opposed to THoeE PBANNER, but common fairness compels us to say that as a Democratic mewspaper it has few equals, and no superiors.”.

A compliment like the abiove, coming from one of the very best papers of the State, is certainly to be appreciated. Gen. Williams will please consider our beaver touched. ; :

.WE BEG LEAVE*tq call Gen. Lee’s attention to the following extract from Harper’s Weekly of August 28, 1875. It.emanates from the pen of ‘Geo. W. Curtis, one of thenoted men of the Cincinnati convention: “ All good citizens areindebted to Gowernor Tilden for calling the attention of the Legislature and the State to the canal frauds,; for recommending the inquiry, and for instruecting the Attorney-General to bring suit, which he has done. Those who say that the Governor’s action is a mere political trick, and that he means nothing, evidently forgot: that they are speaking of the man who, when he once took hold of the Tweed prosecution, joined in pushing it relentlessly to the end.” S i

—The Republicans ‘of this place held a little meeting in the School House last Monday -evening for the purpose of agreeing upon some steps for the organization of a Hayes and ‘Whegler Club. Committees were appointed to select officers for the Club. Another meeting will be held next “Wednesday evening for the purpose of .effegting a permanent organization.

GEX, FRANZ SIGEL, the hero or Carthage and Pea Ridge, has declared for Tilden and Hendricks. His letter will be found in another column of this week’s BANNER. Gen. Sigel has never heretotore voted anything but the republican ticket. He made several stump speeches for Grant four years ago. o :

There were 17 former Republicans in the torehlight procession last Saturday night who will vote for Tilden and Hendricks.—Goshen Democrat. Wonder if this is 4 result of Gen. Haseall’'s advocacy of Hayes and Wheeler ? e s e

COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS.

The People’s Convention, held at this place en Saturday last, was not a large . affair, owing, perhaps, to the fact that there were very few in attendance. : ,

The so-called People’s Movement was gotten up here for party purpdses. It was the last mean thing the republicans could resort to, to ‘get intd power again. They led some weakkneed democrats to believe that they were working for reform—“now you see it, and now you don’t see it.” At the convention two years ago they nominated men of both parties, for a blind, saying, with loud huzzas, “The People ‘will Rule.” Now we have a repitition of the People’s Convention, only this time they nominate all republicans, or neari_y so. But we are pleased to note that a number of those who were at first led astray are now going to support Tilden and Hendricks. =~ plae

The Tilden and Hendricks club met at the Court House last Saturday evening, and were addressed by Mr. Gray, and others. o L The Democrats will hold a mass meéting here on Saturday, the 19th, and the Tilden and Hendricks club will paradé the streets, in full uniform, in the evening. o Our town is overrun with tramps and dead beats. From eight to ten 'make their appearance daily, and ask alms in the shape of something to eat: People living near the railroad have the full benefit of them. :
