~ I¥ Hon, M. C. Kerr had never ‘done anything in his life to keep’his memory green, the heroism with which'he died would be enough. Men can die nobly, grandly, under the incentive of some stfong passion; but it requires a sublime confidence in the goodness of God for a man to die slowly and painfully, without either alarm or regret. ‘And no dying man who can write so calmly of ‘the approaching event could ever have been. mean enough to sell a West Pointeadetship.

e MAJOR C. H, SHRINER. Buring tlie past ‘week the editor of THE BANNER had the pleasure of aceompanying Major C: 11. Shriner, of Pennsylvania, to -a number of the leading towns of Northern Indiana, and to participate in the meetings ap» pointed for that gentleman and ourself. Beginning at Laporte and ending at Goshen, all the meetings advertised for us were simply rousing demonstrations. 'Fhe people turned out en masse, and listened most attentively to the facts presented for their consideration. i . )

Major Shiinex spoke eloquently and: earnestly, upon some of -the issues entering irfte the present contest. He has a happy faculty of “entertaining a promiseuous audience and of illustrating his points. The Goshen Democrat notices his splendid effort at that place in this. complimentary manner: - '

“The speech of Major Shriner, of Penn., was invested with the greater interest on aecount of his being a stranger, and on account of ' his having been a Lincoln, eleetor in his native State in 1860, showing that he had been an” honored member of the republican party. - His comparison of ‘Grant’s bayonet rule in'the South with ‘the: bayonet rule of England over Ireland, as well as his tribute to the patient long-suffering of the people of the latter country, was the most graphic and eloguent we ever heard. It. touched the heart -of every one present in-the vast audience. His. description of Patterson, the carpettbag! U. S.Senator from South . Carolina, whom he had helped to save from the penitentiary in. Pennsylvania, was a picture mever to be forgotten. His quotation from Dawes” speéch in the louse, showing that the expenses, of republican rule-of 6 years*®cost the people $109,000,000 more than seventy vears of democratic: administration, including the war with Great Britain and Mexico and all the protracted and bloody Indian wars, wag truly startling, and showed what jextravagance and corruption - is-doing to ruin the country and cause sucli a republican leader as Dawes of Mags, to cry out in very shame.” = "¢ o . . . — —— > e 6.

THE Rochester Sentinel very truthfully and appropriately observes that there is a marked difference in the treatmen which Hayes receives, from the Democratic press,-and-that which ‘Tilden and lendricks have to endure from Radical newspapers and orators. Before Mr. Tilden was in the political arena, he was praised by Radicals for honesty and - integrity, now "he is abused and slandered. But, the Radical papers-affirm that Democrats cannot say anything hgainst layes. This isccomplimentary te Democratié truthfulness. If Democrats would lie’on Hayes as the Radicals do about Tilden and Hendricks, he would be posted as a borse thief from Maine to Georgia. This slanderous policy. is to be expected from Radical corruptionists. They are fighting to retain their grip upon the treasury. They see the reform ‘movement among the people -and tremble.. They cry “Stop thief!” at Tilden on the old principle, to divert attention from themsélves. But. with a]l their efforts they do not succeed ‘in making their charges stick. ‘Mr, Tilden has a character that is un~assailable. | Nosingle charge impeach_ing his integrity is’sustained. Their -charges fall upon the country in their worthlessness, and nobody believes ‘them, They do Mr. Tilden no more ~damage than-did Morton’s attack up‘on Hendricks, in his owh home, '~

s u’!i’mmﬁfm i - One of the most active promoters of the “arm-in‘arm” convention which met in Philadelphia in 1868 was Gen, | John A Dix, of New York. Gen. Dix the Harrisburg Patriotsays; supported. the poliey omesideﬁtfi;mﬁn; and. earnestly urged an abandon nent of all ‘the issues growing out of t;?\w r.aB the dictate of patriotism and the surest means of effecting a true and last[ing reconciliation. = Upon this basis_ | he favored the formation of a “na.t,icm-; “al political party. President Johnson, in token of his appreciation -of the patriotic services of Gen Dix in this regard, sent him as Minister to France. It is now ten years since. Gen. Dix participated in that cgnvention at Philadelphia; ‘yet he 'defiberatiﬂy: pro_poses at this distant day to revive the bitter memories of the war, and to found a political organization on the basis of the conflict. As if the war had not yet ended, he recornmends the organization of thesoldiers of the war into compf\niés, regiments, divisiﬁons and corps of Boys in Blue who are to be furiished with hats, capes and tarches from the funds of the republican pnrty b) Chairman Chandler. Gen, Dix”ihinlgs it isimportant to raise this military organization of citizens for the purpose of defeating Gov. Tilden, who he falsely says had little sympathy with tle Union cause, When he comes to oi‘;’;:u‘nizing the Boys in Blue, to put lon them Chandler’s degrading livery, and march them around with torches he will find that they are not the “boys” he took them for. The .veterans of the war for the Union have a thorough contémpt for that kind of fooling. But what Gen. Dix t_lxoughf of (iov. 'l‘{i_lde,u a little more than a year ago is_ extrenrely inconsistent with his presgnt purpose to organize the veterans of the war for his defeat. The occasion’ to which we refer was thé inauguration of Mr. Tilden for Governor of the great State of New York after he had beaten Gen. Dix by a majority of more than 50,000 votes. On that occasion Gen. Dix spoke as follows: - - :

Mn. TILDEN:— The people of the State have called you to preside over the administration ofjiheir government by a majority, which manifests: the highest confidence in your ability, integrity and firmness. 1 need “not say to you, who have had so long and, familiar acquaintance with public affairs, that in a State of such magnitude as ours, with interest so vast and diversified, there is a constant demand on the chief magistrate for the. essential attributes ot statesmanship. It is gratifying to know that the amendments to the constitution, approved and ratified by the people at the late general election, by limiting the powers of the Legislature in regard .to local and special laws, will in some degree lighten the burden of your arduous and.responsible duties. - While a material progress. has been made during the last two years in the correction of abuses, much rem ains‘_%b be done, and ‘the distinguished part you have borne in the work of municipal reform in the city of New York gives assurance that under your auspices the great interests of the State will be vigtlantly” guarded. 1 tender you my sincere wish that your labors in the cause of good government may be as successful here as they have been else-: where, and that your administratior may rédound to your own honor, and ‘to the,lasting prosperity of the people of the whole State. : ;

- MORE ACCESSIONS. . The leading German Republicans and Liberal voters of Chicago have issued a stirring address to their fellow coun;irymeﬁ giving their reasons for voting for Tilden and Hendricks. The address which is signed by Edmund Jussen, Gen. 11. Dilger, ¥'. Baumann, Edward Rummel, Phillip Stein and several hundred other German Republicans and: Liberals, concludes as follows::: /|- _ Al Brid 4 - But in Samuel J: Tilden we recognize the man to combat the evils of the hour. His name alone is a watchword of reform. He is' not fettered and. bound, hand and foot, by pledges to corrupt politicians; ‘he is not supported by rings and associations, by political -“knights of the road who. ‘bring their sinning lances to bear upon the pockets of the people.” His nomination is the- result of the spontaneous and irrepressible will of the people to place an honest, energetic and able man at the head of the nation. '~ Amidst shouts of applause his name was proposed by Charles Francis. Adams, jr., in the New York Conference of Liberal-Republicans. He has ajlready proven that he possesses the requisite courage and -ability to insist upon an honest administration of public affairs and to unmask political thieves and gcoundrels. His capacity and zeal for' reform have long enjoyed a national reputation. He does not stand in need of the recommendation of personal friends that he is equal to that task. He will give us honest money, as he will'give us an honest administration. “‘No fraud will escape him; corruption will in vain seek to thrive where he commands, and through his election we may well expect to re-establish the original purity of our -institutions.: ‘For these reasons;, and on the ground of these justified expectations, we claim your enthusiastic co-opperation in the support of Samuel J. Tilden.

GRAND RALLY AT BUTLERT| : ‘e Lo Enthusiastic Tilden and Hend- ~ rieks Demonstration last . Sutudoy Brening. | E" gﬁwjﬂ? L it ble and Effective Speeches by Cap~ tain Mitchell and H. G. Zim- | . L merman, Esq. Special correspondence tpT:uz BAnNER. | Feng . Before sun-down the little town of Butler was filled with people from the surrounding country and villages, who were anxious to hear the impoi':tant issues of the political canvass thoroughly and truthfully discussed by one of Indianad’s ablest lawyers. Before eight o’clock hundreds of people ‘had gathered around. the speakers’ stand, showing that Butlei and vicin--ity are fully alive to the magnitude of the coming contest and the necessity of reform an& honest government. The speakers ‘were escorted to the stand by the Butler brags hand, when CMr. Zimmerman was iztroduced to i the large ;gll(l'ie11<:e by M Bl:ﬁxi}yr, presiAdent of the wecting. Mr. Zimmerman entered ‘upon the discussion of the issues which divide the great parties with that eandor and truthfulness | and.logical reasoning that is so characteristic of the man. He reviewed the history of Gov. Tilden with so much earnestness and truthfulness that he at once commanded ‘the attention of all, whicly he held for mearly ‘an hour. e showed by the best of argument that the moment Mr. Til- | den became cognizant of the perfidy “and rascality of Tweed, that he severed ‘himself from the c@rrupt ring and organized for the oveathrow of Tweed and his hosts. Ile proved from ‘leading republican pupers,that they regarded Mr. Tilden s o pure man in 1874, and that in. hany instances {[l%léfy expressed sat'sfaction witlr his election, and have repeatedly lauded him sinee tor his great war upon the canal ring. He did ndt view Tilden in the light of those who could see nothing in him but dishonesty and trickery merely for political ends, e did not believe. that because of his association with the Tammany ling, that on that account he should be Leld responsible for the doings of Tweed. Mr, Zimmerman had no sympathy for such scoundrels as Tweed, and he thought that Tilden did more to send him to prison'than any one man in New York. Ie showed how dificult it'was to war against a.ring so powerful and formidable as that of Tammany, and that no one had the courage to undertake its réform till Samuel J..Tilden took hold of the matter, and, as all know, he was not long. in scattering the elements.-of corruption and thievery to the four winds of the earth. Having reformed the Tammany ring, he was well fitted to strike at another powerful and corrupt body known as the “Canal Ring” He @hought no man could have given better evidence of his ability to reform the:government than Mr. Tilden has given. The speaker regarded the Southern question of prime importance as one of the issmes befgre the people. e charged’the presefit con- | dition of misrule in‘the South to rephblican mismanagement, . and believed that the existing pliases of Southern political corruption were the outgrowth of republican knavery, which manifested itself in its attempt

to keep in power men whose hands had become dyed in the cauldron of corruption and frand.. Mr. zﬁmmerQ man’s speech was full of good points, and made a deep impression. /It was of that kind which never fails to cause men to think and ponder the questions discussed. - Though a "novice in political stump-orations, Mr. Zimmezman deserves much’ credit for his clear and comprehensive manner of dealirig with the questions of the day. Capt. Mitchell followed Mr. Zimmerman with one of his masterly efforts. He handled the “bloody shirt” theory without gloves. He removed Morton’s ghost from the misty fog of sophistry, and held it up ‘to public gaze that none might be . deceived

therein. Ile said the war was over, and the bloody carnage of rebellion no longer existed in the heart of our political organization. Why, . then, should republican speakers continually flaunt the war of secession before the minds of their hearers in these

days of peace? When that wat broke out, did not democrats as well as re publicans leave their homes, their friends, their ‘wives and children to contest inch by inch the Southern foe? “We fought that war, on the battle ground of Shiloh, of Chicamauga, of Gfettysburgh, and a hundred other battle fields, and nobly held our ground. Then why should we fight that war over teo-day? 'He thought war was not the only danger that governments had to avert. The history of -ancient Rome teaches us that war may bring territory and glory to a nation, but that is not enough. Rome, “with her legions of soldiers extended ‘her dimensions till she could find no more countries to conquor. She was mistress of -the: world. War had brought her glory and renown but, ‘alas for Rome! it left in itB train fraud and corruption. The war gave them glory, corruption shame. Many men fought and died for Roman glory, ‘but after all the shedding of lood, proved too weak to stay the hand of fraud and corruption that was silent1y plying its knife to'the vitals of the ‘government. ‘The knife cut deeply and lat out the heart’s blood of the nar, tion,. and that. grand’ structure; of glory, built ‘up:of soldiers’ toil and blood, came tumbling down to lay a bleeding cotpse at the shrine of fraud. and corruption. War made Rome great. Corruption turned that greatness to.shame, and Rome fell to rise ne more. ' 'Can 'we not/learn 3 lesson from Romé? | War has dispelled secession from gur land. It has liberated four millions.of slaves, and to-gay-we are a unifed Union-ta great nation, wlhiere' all ‘riieti'‘aré” fres. But now ' the question presents itself: Shall we.allow. eorruption and fraud: to destrey’ all the: glory we' have gained by war ? The war is past, but,”

like the Roman wars, in its train it has left the ghastly dagger of corrnption that will sooner or Jater, if not. averted, bring all our glory to chaos and ruin. It is’ not the war, then S b ol ok bvibis ) e

Mr. Bristow, of | the Republican party, and. Samucl Jif Pilden, 6f, the Democratic payty.

But not so; they defeated him in convéntion, and Tie has been'| removed as Secretary of the Treasury because he was a 4 reformer, and was ~determined to bring all the thieves and peculators to j.usltice. : }"[‘he Dem:ocracy,"om the other hand, i"‘eeling the necessity of purifying the government, that its” dignity may be main‘tained, placed .in nomination for its ‘standard-bearer Gov, Tilden of New York. But Morton says that he (Till den) did nothing for the war, that he ‘used his influence against it, e Now, 1 venture the assertion that Til- ) den did more for the war than Moiton. To be sure, Morton is called the great war, Governor, but '-why 2 Simply because he called upon us to go'to war, and we went. He was never’ ‘there.”: We fought the 'battles of the whar and Morton received the credit. Not so with Tilden, for he -put his hands into his pockets and equipped, ﬁegiments‘at his own expense that the Union might be saved. The Ecap‘l‘,ain spoke till.after 10 o’clock, and yet the: large crowd of people would have gladly listened to him' another hour: We understand that several republi--_cans have announced their intention to vote for Tilden and Hendricks. This town'is the ;great; republican stronghold of the county, consequently both parties are doing their “level. best ” to gain the victory. The democrats feel hopeful and ‘are 'very energetic in their efforts. If they do not succeed in carrying the election they, no doubt, will reduce the republican majority considerably. VERO. ] W—— - Keform-—Let Usi Practice What We. iy Profess.. | - To the Editor of The| National Banner: The action taken in the-caucus of the Democrats of Wayne township, on Saturday last,/in regard to a certain:resolution concerning ene of the candidates for office, has raised a storm of;iilédigimtion among a portion of the “unterrified,” and even some of the opposite party censure it severely. And for what? = Simply because it is a departure from the usual mode practiced in both parties - for gettiri"g' | an unworthy aspirant for office out of the way. 'The usual practice has been to deal in s&f_b soap with every candidate before a convention, and then rely on the formation oft combinations for the purpose. of defeating obnox- | ious or unavailable, or unworthy candidates, if you please, in the conven- ' tion. Whenever this has been prac: ticed, it was termed wire-pulling, and the forming 'of rings and -cliques. This is the outgrowth' of our present system of party nominations. Men of both parties resort 'to it, and defend their action by the maxim that «the end justifies the means”; 7. e, the success of the party demand it, so long as suech party manoeuvréi'nﬁ is aceomplished . without being discov--ered by the masses of the party. Then everybody feels happy, and shouts, “Hurrah for the unbroken phalanx that is presented to the enemy”; but whenever two or more rings are found antagonistic to each other, the one that is pu_t-geliéraled and outwitted feels sore, and, smarting under defeat, deery the more suécessful as unprincipled apd unworthy to be. trusted, and when the rank and file of ‘the. party get an:inside view of the workings of these rings they become disgusted with the whole proceedings, the result.of which is utter demoralization for the time-being. 'Not believing in such combinations for the purpose above mentioned, and having the success of genuine democratic principles' at heart, ahd believing that reform preached _mu;sbﬁ' be reform prac- | ticed in order to be .genuine, caused me to present thg‘resq ntion in question to the democyratie egucu's of Wayne township, which was held at this place on the 19th inst. In adopting the same it was intended to show to the county eonvention the feeling of at least a portion of Democrats as regards men and measures. There is nothing dictatory in the resolution; it is only saying in plain, unmistaka- | ble language where 'we stand in regard to a certain aspirant for office, without lesbrting to the expedién'cy: of doing the same thing by wire-pull-ing, &c. = The latter may be the niore refined mode, but it is certainly not | the more honest. The announcement of the gentleman’s name as a candi.date was, to use a mild térm, an imposition, and can only be excused and defended on the ground that the democratic party is not a party of principles but an organization for the pur.pose of securing as many offices as

possible; not caring who her candi--dates are, nor what their antecedents have been; being only influenced by the question of availability. It remains to be seen whether Carl Schurz was right when he asserted in his letter to Oswold Ottendorfer, defending his course in supporting Hayes & ‘Wheeler, that the reform element in the democratic party was not formid-. able enough to accomplish anything in the way of reform in that organization.. Democrats of Noble county: “TILDEN and REFORM!” sounds very nicely; but you must show by your acts that you mean it. Will you be equal to the task? Respectfully, 17 CHAS.
