Thursday. November 1876.

THE Administration of Gen. Grant commands our fullest confidence and approbation —[Indiana Republican Platform.

The voters of the Eighteenth Assem District ought to esteem it an onor and a privilege to elect Samuel J.'Tilden to- the Legislature. He has shown himse'f to be a conscientious, efficient foe to corruption. We appeal to every Republican ami work for him, and to do so the more cheerfully—as we make this appeal—becausa he is an honest Democrat.-[New York Times, Nov. 0, 1875.d

There is no royal road for a govern men' more than for an individual or acorporation" What you want to do now »H to cut down your expenses anil live within your income. I would give a 1 the legerdemain of finance and finane'ering—I woH'd give the whole of it for the old homely maxim, "Live within your income." -Samno J. Tilden to the Secretary the Treasury in isfw.

If tho Democrat?' triumph in Indiana, they will havo chances of electing their Presidential candidate even if Ohio should go against them. The Democrats have never expected to succeed in Ohio until within the last two or three weeks. At the time of^their National Convention they deliberately conceded it to Republicans by tiie nomination of Governor Tilden, who was so distasteful to the Ohio Democrats.—New York Herald, Oct. I!.

"And thus it is that the great name, the great authority of the Republican party in its national capacity, is being used this very moment to uphold the atrocious system of Government which this country ever saw. A party which cannot live and prosper unless it bo supported by corruption a party' that cannot prosper unless it be supported by a revival the old war feeling, and by tearing open again the wounds from which thepeopleof th° United States have bled so long such a party when is has come to that, docs not deserve t0 live."—[Carl Schura four years ago.

TILDEN'S FIRST VETO.

Shoul I be elected Fve^idiut, tho provisions of the Fourteenth amendment, will, so far as depends on me, be maintained, executed and enforced in perfect and absolute good faith. No rebel debt will be assumed or paid, no claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave will bo aHowcd, no claim for any loss or damage incurred by disloyal persons arising from the late war, whether covered by the Foitrtcoutli amendment or not, will bo recognize^ or poid. ..The. cotton, tax will not be refunded. I shall deem it my duly to veto every bill providing for tho assumption or payment of any such debts, 'osses) damages, claims, or for the refunding of any such t-tx.

An accessory cause encliancing the distress In business is to be found in the systematic and insupportable misgovernment imposed on the States of the South. Besides the ordinary effects of ignorant and dishonest administration, has infllct'nl upon th -m enor mons issues of fraudu'ent bonds, the scanty avails of which were wasted or stclen, and the existence of which is ft public discredit, tending to bankruptcy or repudiation. Taxes generally oppressive, and in some instances have confiscated the entiro income of property, and totally destroyed its marketable valno. It is impossible that these evils should not react upon the prosperity of the whole country.—Samuel J.

Tilden's Letter of Accep

"Governor Tilden has won his reputation as a reformer, mainly by the prosecution of the Canal Ring in the Stats of New York. I will not follow others in questioning his motives, but readily admit that prosecution to have been an enterprise requiring considerable cour age, circumspection and perseverance, for which he should have flill credit. Should he be eleoted President he will undoubtedly eject from their plaoes,and. if possible, otherwise punish all the dishonest officers now in the service."-Carl Schurz in his Chisn?6 spceih Septamber 7 1870.

EVERY foreign-born voter, and every American who believes that foreign -born voters have rights which Americans are bound to respect, should remember that the American Alliance, which GovHayes, through his Secretary, promised full "aid and co-oparation," proposes not only to deprive foreign-born citizens of the right to hold office, but goes far beyond the old Know-Nothing order in demanding that foreign-born citizens shall not be allowed the right even to vote The man who would be '"deeply gratified" by the expressions of confidence from an association like this, and who would promise to give it "aid and co-opcration' is a man who would do anything or combine with anybody for the sake of votes.

Sir. Tilden was elected by more than

by the rural districts, for he

had an absolute majority of the voter leaving out of consideration entirely the great Democratic cities of New York and Brooklyn. Last year his reform ticket was elected by a smaller majority, because the men whose peculations he had exposed, were bitter in fighting against it. This year he is stronger than ever. It is this year that his reduction of taxes takes effect, and the better sense of both parties is rallying to his suppsrt. Even the men who conscientiously opposed his nomination at St. Louis, because thev believed that he coi-ld not carry the State, are now his earnest supporters. The result in Indiana has insured the vote of that State in November. Mr. Tilden now needs only the vote of his own State, where he is known and respected, and where he lived all his honored life, to be elected. These thirtyfive votes are surely his, and the man who will take the oath of office on the

PROCLAMAION OF*': G. From year to year, we have been accustomed to pause in our daily pursuits, and set apart a time to offer thanks to Almighty God for the special blessings He has vouchsafed to us with our prayers for a continuance thereof. We have, at this time, equal reason to be thankful for His continued protection, and for the many blessings which His bounty has bestowed. In addition to these favors to us as individuals, we have especial occasion to express our hearty thanks to Almighty God that, by His providence our government, established a century ago, has been able to fulfil ti.e purpose" of its founders, in offering an asylum to the people of every race, securing" civil and religious liberty to all within its borders, and meeting out to every individval alike justicc and equality before the law. It is moreover our especially our duty to offer our humble prayers to thfe Father of all mercies for a continuance of His divine favor to us as a nation and as individuals.

By reason of all these considerations, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the U. S., do recommend to the people of the United States, to devote the

November, next to an expression of their thanks and prayers to Almighty God, and laying aside their daily avocations, and all secular duties, assemble in their respective places of worship, and observe such day as a day of thanksgiving and rest.

FRIEDLEY'S FRAUD.

How to Keep the Democrats in the Independent Movement.

The following letter is from Geo. W. Friedley, chairman of the Republican central committee, written before the October election. It miscarried and fell into the hands ofenemies, who have sincc published it in the Indianadolis Sun.

It reveals two important facts: (1) That the Democrats in the Independent movement are being made cat's paws of.

(2)

That the Republicans staked all

and lost (all on Indiana. Here is the letter: Committee, Journal Building:

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. (.

1S76.

[Confidential.]

ALBERT HOPKINS—Dear Sir: We have very cheering reports from all parts of the State. We are glad to hear that our friends who are playing the Independent game in your county (Boone) expect to hold enough Democrats in the movement to give us the county. We hope you will keep the thing going, keep up a bold front, and get as many Democrats into the movement as you can, and at the last moment give them the slip. We have the plan well laid in all the counties where there is Independent strength, and ifour Republican Independents do their duty well we will save Gen. Harrison, we think, if not, old Williams will be elected and everything is lost. I will send Harrison Grimes, Esq., a circular which will help to keep him strong in the Independent faith. I am glad to hear that he still sticks and that he will probably keep other Democrats in the movement. Better burn this for fear of accidents. Yours truly,
