TILDEN AND THB NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD. - * The Eighteenth Ward Repuulicans held a and enthusiastic meeting last evening st the North-Side Turner-Hall, Mr. A, M. Pence inthe chair. The Chairman, after anmouncing that the mecting next Saturday evening wounld be ad- dressed by Gen. Leake and Caspar Butz, intro- doced Mr. Elliott Anthony as the first speaker. Alter referring tothe infinence of Chicago and Tilinois 1 tue politics of the nation, and the pecessity of investigating the records of partics and candidates, and after showing up the per- nicfous record the Democratic party made while in power, and its efforts to extend slavery over all the Territories, the speaker went into the record of Tilden, showing by facts and figures which had not yet been brought up what a frand the Democrats were trying to palm off onthe people s a reformer. This partof Mr. An- thony's speech created & profound sensation, and deserves to be published in full. It was as follows: You all know what disgrace has been brought upon the country during the last few years by Rail- road Kinge, Credit Mobiliecr, and_combinations of men in New York City to destroy weak and feebls ralroad compsnies cattered throughout the coun- try. In the early history of the West everyboy wa¢ znsious for railroads, and efforts were put forth by remote scitlements to reach the chief marts of trade. Corporations were formed, sub- sciptions obtained, and towns, citics, villages, and even school _districts, became _subscribers. Farmers in many instances mortgazed their farms toid these projects. Keen and crafty men daz- Zled them with sudden wealth and mauaged to get Gontrol. issued stock und vast quantities of bonds, took themto Europe and neyutiated loans upoa false represcntatiun<, made a pretense of compiet- isg the enterprise. reveled fora time in luzury, and when they conld keep up mo longer brought the scheme to an unumely end by foreclosing the mortgages, and by the aid of confederates tought in the roud, them reorzanized it, after etunz possession for almost notaing of the roud- rolling-stock (if it had any), and all its as- sets, leaving in many instances ihe great mass of the stockbolders and bondholders without a penny to show for their investment, To such an extent has this been carried on in this State, and lowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minne- fota, thst many of the towns, citics, and school gistricts have been ntterly banirapted and ruined. Inlowa thero were, & fex Yeurs 320, whole coun, tics where the taxes levied to pay these railroad fubecriptions were 80 emormous tuat they alinogt the farmers, and the eame is true of Wis- consin. In this State the railroad subscriptions by sities, towns, and villazes amount to millions of dollare, and the taxes in many cases have been very oppresive. . "here bas long been A CLASS OF MEN IN NEW TORK CITY who have becn on the watch for railroads in dis- tress, like the wreckers on a dangerous coast, who, when ships arc cast upon the rocks, come down upon them, often murdering the crew, 2nd always roobing and plundering the ship and the unfortunate survivors. Thesc persons are called railroad-wreckers, and include keen, sharp, coniless, unscrupulons 1wnen, who pitched on to {hese innocent, unsuspecting railroads in distress, lundered them Wwituout stint or measure, and hen divided the swaz among them. Atthehcad of this class of menstovd Samucl J. Tilcen, who was prominent for his skill and acumen. Jim Fisk 2nd his crowd were too openand above-board to be trasted with the secrete of their raids, but he was slwayn a hail-fellow, well met, and ‘kmew their g, signa. and passwords. _About this time that speak of also there came into vogue the practice of getting up pools in railroads and bulling and bearmg the stocks, in_which unconnted miilions were Iostand won, and Mr. Tiiden was head in that. ANOTHER TRICK was to pet possession of eome old, broken-down nsllroad, keep it for awhile, and, if there wasa good, first-cluse, paying road anywhere pear it, to quielly boy up the controinz intercst In the ftock of the paying road, consolidats it with the non-paying one, which ‘they would put inatan enormous value, and then issue lazge quantities of stock and combine to give 1t fictitious valae, then throw it upon the market, unload the whole thing on the nnsuspecting public, sit down toa chams pagae supper. and augh over the thing as the best oke of the season, and Sam Tilden was the head man at this game. . i Another trick was to pick out some railroad with its stock depreszed, doctor it for awhile, then cammence sud water the stock by the million; then. in order to make the road pay dividends, ralse the fariff on freight and passengera along the en- tire line, and compel ail the farmers and the travelng public to pay the incressed rates. Talk about the tariff of the United States Gov- emment! Why, the railrouds in this country have it in their power, and have exercised it fur years, to £x the price of every bushel of grain that i8 raiced, 10 ix the price of ail the beef and pork sent to the market, ana of all the groceries you consnme, &nd the very clothes you wear. Now, Ihave had occa- sion to know something about this matter of rail- road-wrecking, and have had occarion to inquire into the crookedness of this man Samuel J. Til- den, now_candidate for President on the Demo- crtic ticket, and the candidate of the railroad- ‘wreckers. broken down railroads, Credit-Mobilierd, anu ringsters of the country, and 1 propose to tell ou something about it. 1n 1564, 1 was the attorney of the old GALENA & CHICAGO UNION RAILROAD COMPAXNT, one of the very first roads ever built in this State, ;;;fl controlled by such wen as th late William L.

Milien sn B Cororacs might reap their full reward, they issucd at th time of thic cousolldation $6,030,500 of preferred 2nd $8,030,500 of common stock. They bought the Kcnosha & Rockford Railroad for $300,000 and put that into the consolidation pool for 1. 400, - 0J0. They took all the money in the Chicago Galena & Union Railrond treasiry, amonnting to nearly half a million and fifty honds of the Beloit & Madison Railroad, which belonged to the old Galena, and which had uever been ixsaed, and sold these. ' At the time of the consolidation, the stock of the Chicago & Northwestern scarcely had more than a mere nominal value in_the market, while the stock of the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad Company was at par. This was un-loubtediy a orilliant stroke of rail- road financie:dng, ~ for it created @ monopoly and prevented all competition. A LAW SUIT OF LARGE DIMENSIONG dimensions prew outof this affalr, and I had oc- casfon to punt am argument npon the subject, Blich touk p-ace before Judge Davly of the United States Supreme Court, and Judge Treat of Spring- ficld. In that argument I said: ‘The sudden and complete extinction of one of oldest and most successtul rallrond :unwrnu&- II: l.‘|:‘l: country without 8 warning hasno precedent. A bare statement of the case stamps it asa coup d'etat. Its very success contributed to its destruction. it never simed u position it could not sustain, and fis enerous rivalry caused it to be unguspecting, and made it an easy victim. It scemed at first Ukea trick. It lacks tlie sanction of law, and, {f permitted to stand, may become & most dangerous monopuly. The and manner in which it was accomplished does not cxcite our highest admiration. It was done without notice to anybodyof any charncter or kind, 1t was hurried througn with most indecent haste, and {nvolves in 1t principles and practices which we do not belleve are 8 lapted to the simple habits of & widespread prairie couutry. To say nuthing of the disrezardof private rights, we do nut think itcan be successtully defended, «ou grounds of public pullcy or the good of the State. Until the iegality of this trausactlon 18 settled by an au- thorative aajudication, {tputsan end 1o _all investments in railroad curporations in this State. To insure confl- dence {n any cnterprise of 3 fnancial characier every- thing ke fraud or decelt must be excinded. The man who contributes his money to aid in bufiding a raliroad from Chlcago to Galena would not ordiasrlly suppose that he was liable to be transported to enterprises ** be- yond.6eas™ or across distant States, ‘The case at bur 1akes a wide range; it s not confined to aay territorial Hmits. e who drew the charter of the Galena & ChM- cazo Unton Riailroad Company aud fxed its ternint ““from the Town of Galena, 1 the County of Jo Da- yiess, to s:.¢1 point fu the Town of Chicatco axshall be determined afier & survey shatl be made of the route, 1o be the must eligible, proper, and direct, 2ad cun venlent therefor,” would now require something ne- sldes a chart and cnmfinss to gulde him 3 1ts ** consol- 1dated end.

Now, it is just such things as these which have for years been demoralizing the youth of our land. They hear of the exploits of JAY GOULD, TILDEN, AND TWEED, and set out in life to imitate them. Some become rich, some become poor, while others retire nto exile or the State's-Prison. As Webster said in his great argument on the trial of the Crowning- shiclds: Such f¢ human nature that some persons lose thelr abhorrence - crime in their admiration of fts mazniti- ccnt exbivitions. Ordinary vice is 16, rubated by thew, but exirsordingry gullt or exquisiie wickedniss, the high fights and poetry of crime, seize on the {magina- tion and lead them to forzet the depths of guilt in ad- miration of the excellence of the performance or the Unequaled atrocity of the purpose. here are those in our day who have made great use of this infirmity of our nature, and by means of it douc infinfte injury to the causeof good morals. They bave affectcd not ouly taste, but, I fear, the princiyles of the oung, the heedless, and the imaginetive, by the ex- Ribition of Interestink and beautifdl monsters. They Tender depravity attrattive sometlmes by the polish of ‘manners, sometimes by 116 very extravagance and study 10 show of crime all the advantages of cleverness and dexterdty. NOW WHAT WAS TIE RESULT of aTl this echeme? It was Hirst to establish a gigan- tic monopoly such gs the Northwestern Stuics never before eaw, and never will again. Its course Swas like that of the Lritish East India Company, which, commencing with a factory on the shores of India, overthrew kingdoms, and from their ruins erccted an Empire. Itlaid its strong hand on the States of Wisconum, 1llinois, lows, and Minneeo- fa. They raised the tarili on all freights and pas- sengers, and roon after there commenced the great stragzle for supremacy by the_railroad companics over the State Governments. The farmers, in or- der to cnable them Lo resist extortion, formed themsclves into sssociations under the nanme of Grangers, Public mectings were held. The Tay- Jor low of Wisconsin was passed, the Iiailroad law of 11linois was passed, and lowa joined in the re- frain. The railroads crushed out all competition, and, in order to raise money to pay dividends on their watered stock, laid on their tariff. In the Constitutional Convention of 1870 the subject of railroads came frequently under discussion, and we inserted in the organmic law of the State that, in view of what had taken place, no parallel or competing railroads should ever be consolidated. THE 1{ON. LORENZ BRENTANO was next introduced. He commenced by giving the Democratic claim of being the party of re- form an airing, and showed tiat their pretenses were nothing but sham. The Democratic party had done nothing since the commencement of the War to descrve credit for, In 1864 they did ail they could to obstruct the proseiutivn ol the War. _In 165 they were for repudiating our debts, and in 1572 they disbanded and took up with one of their worst enemies, Horace Gree- icy. Think of it, Horace Greeley the leader of the Democrats! Some Republicans, like Carl Schurz, went with the Democrats. But these men were now back again and doing all they coutd for the Republican party. ‘the Demo- cratic party at present was_golely composed of nive of bees e to 300 the Rebel element. There was = much talk moy _ about reform and homest money. Both the Republican and Democratic parties teil the people they must have reform, and both promised honest money. The real issue before the people was, Who shill eovern the country—the party which saved it or the party whichi tried to_crush it! The Re- publican party had done notbing to lose the confidence of the people, and the Democratic party had done nothing to gain it. No party could have made a better record under the cir- cumstances than did the Republican party. It bad to carry out the Emancipation proclama- tion of the immortal Lincoln; had to recon- struct the States and restore _confidence among the people. It had largely diminished the na- tional debt, and our credit stands high in for- eign countrics. |The Democrats claim that the Republicans had done nothing towards specie- Tesumption. They had passed the Resumption act and reduced the taxation, while the first act of the Democrats was torepeal the Resump- tion clause. As far as resumption was con- cerned, the people could certainly place more confidence in the Republican than”in the Demo- cratic party. He could, however, not deny that we nceded reform, and that corruption had crept into the ranks of the party. Many of the high officials had proved unfaithful to their trust. It was true that the President was un- fortunate in the selection of the Secretary of War. But all this was no cause for leaving the Republican party and joining the Democrate. Why could we not take ‘the broom and sweep out” our own house? The Republicans were prepared to do it, and would clean_out corrup- tion wherever found. At the conclusion of Mr. Breutano’s speech an adjournment was had. g SOUTH-SIDE REPUBLICANS. SENATOR LOGAN AT CENTRAL HALL. It was one of the most successful of political meetings. People crowded into the little hall on the corner of Twenty-second strect and Wa- bash avenue until it was packed, and then they swarmed in the street 5000 strong. The interest was manifested in tke continued applause. At about 8 o'clock Mr. A. T. Galloway roseto say that in the ab- sence of the President he was requested to invite the officers of thevarious Ward clubs who might be present to takescats on theplatform. Among those who complied with the invitation were Col. Robert Woods, Dr. D. Smith, - Kirk Hawes, dJobn C. Dore, Capt. Snyder, Cbarles H. Ham, J. P. Root, William Aldrich, Col. Babcock, Col. Necdles, *Long John™ Wentworth, Col. Ricaby, and others. The appearance of * Long John” Wcut\n}nh in the background was the signal for uproarious applause from the impatient crowd. The meeting was opened with the singing of a campaign Lymn by Lumbard’s Glee Club, after which the Chairman rose and said that the audfence had assembled for the purpose of wel- coming home the distinguished Senator, John A. Logan. Afterafew further complimentary remarks he called upon the audieuce‘ for three cheers for the Senator, which were given. Sen- ator Logan, at the conclusion of the remarks, rose and spoke, beginning in{ a low tome, but oon warming with the occasion. i He said Msgllurl was full of gratitude for the manner in which his neighbors assembled a few evenings before to meet him on his return lome. No language could do justice to his feelings for that kind expression. He ?hankud the President for his words of weclcoming, and before proceeding with his speeu_h ht_: would have to apologize for the chepge in his usual manner of proceeding. He would bave to renfl nis address on account of the bad state of his health. ; Tt afforded him great pleasure to discuss SQII:!e of the questions of the ‘political contest. T gv. contest was a struggle for the control of t! ; Guvernment by parties cntirel{) at variance witl each other. 'l"‘l‘n.re pever had been 3 time when an_exposition of those princi] les would be so well received as at present. hard times they ‘were likely to look at things without reasoning out the result. For a few fim past the controt of affairs had been in the hands of a party which had managed them with success, and they called upon the civilized world to scan its record thoroughly, No blush of shame mantled their l:hlfieg \;'Ilcn t!lxm bpoxm’:-i:?.1 to a saunt from which slavery had been driven and e j secured to all men. il nighta THE ISSUE WAS NOW ON TIEY, whether the control should pass into the hands of men who when in power destroyed its good name, spit on the constitution, violated their oaths, drenched the land with 'blood, and now were attempting to get hold of thie relns of the Government which they so bascly destroyed. They now were crying out for reform, and, if they carried out their pretenses, their reform must be such as angels only could endure. On the 234 of June last they met in St. Louls, and, following the proposition of the leading Rebel of the world,- when he offered to give away Iand to which he had no title, tuey procceded with the mockery of declaring their necting devoted to the Federal Union,—th al principle of the Republic. ~ Their propositions need only be stated to show their falsity. In the fourth par- agraph of the platform was a remarkable prop- osition, coming from that band of patriots. In it they declared it necossary to estavlish REFORM IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE. Whatkind of rezorm, and who was to be re- formed? Was it the man who had been devot- cd to his country who was_to retorm himself? Must they educate the soldiers of the Union to an understandirg of the Union, for the preser- vation of which he bared his breast to the stecl to show how to rebuild the Union? But ths reform which the people should have was that the majority that made the platform should drive from -tiicir hearts that rankling treason that brouglit the present misfortuues upon the nation. Let those who caused treason come forward and ask forgiveness for tueir crime. Let them swear fidelity to the consti- tution they trumpled under foot. ‘They uext said that Reform could only be ob- tained by peaceful civic reyolution. The patri- ots seem to have ¢hauged tueir notion aboutthe kind of measures to insure reform. Tuey thought, & few years ago, that war was the best | method, Now they attempted by the cry of reform to accomplish by the ballot “what they fajled by the sword. g Mr. Hill, of Georgia, in a late speech said: THE GKEAT ¥INAL STRUGGLE ty scttle the question of constitutional liberty was t0 be at the ballot-bux of 1876. There was to be no Pauce for the country until Radicalism was crushed and despised and made infamous forever. Yes it was true_that the great strug- gle was to be fought in 1 All the declara- tions about fraud were but curtains to hide the real features of the play. The real question was, should the Government be run by those who respected not the interests of humanity. When they controlled this country tyranny was master and liberty was in chains, and, under .then rule, would not the same conditivn be re- turned to? 1f the American people failed at the ballot-box by reason of force, he éum) said, What forcef The nearest they had been to it was when they tried to lIu-uteuc the poor negroes attacked by baudits led on by men like thig Mr. Hill. Any country where such protection was not accorded was not worth living in or fighting for. [Applause.] Again, Mr. Hill said © Radi- calism must be crushed.”” What did he mean? He meant Unionism, Republicanism. Had it come to this, that in this frce land the party wnust not only lose control, but be crushed and dispised in order that treason might become re- spectable? And why dispised? Because they ared to earry out the ideas of liberty. The Democratic Lower House tricd to_ place on the roll of pensioners Rebels who had fought against the country, bat the Republican Senate prevented it. ‘They tried to get Rebels in the army and navy, but were prevented by the Senate. There were bills enough in_the House for claims to have swamped the whole country, 50 that it was easy to see that they were anx- ious to get a change of affairs so as to have a change of Governmeut. Any onc who was credulous enough to believe that those men would e satisticd with what they could get was foolish. They demanded a reduction in the taniff. What did they propose to do with the tarif? Did they ‘desire to take the tax off from certain articles and put it on others? Why did not the Democratic House bring in 2 bill Tor a reduction of the tarilf? In this, as in everything else, therewaos only talk. They had no real desire to reform anything, notwith- standing their protestations. At thelast Congress they cut down the appropriation $20,000,000 in- stead of cutting down expenses, and generally embarrassed the Govermnent. This was not economy, but a reckless blow struck at an im- portant branch of the Government. They cut down the Civil Service bill s0as to render the Goverament_degraded in the cyes of foreign countries. While cutting down the appropria- tiofts for all internal improvements, they added thousands of dollars for the impprovement of every creck that was located in a Democratic district. For the Illinois River they gave $10.- 000, but for the little Kanawha River, in West Virginia, they gave $200,000. COMPARE THE_CONDUCT OF THE GOVERNMENT during the period in which it was run by the Republicans with that of any other time. In the last five years the national debt had been reduced $542,046,683, besides paying the running expenses of the Government, paying millions of dollars on claims growing ouf of the War, and k!:BPHIF at all times a balance in the Treasury. In 1808 the internal revenue tax was $309,220,873, in 1876 only $116,000,000. This was reduction of taxes to the amount of $200,000,000, yet at the same time in the last year there was 2 surplus of $29,000,000 in the Treasury, which was used in éhe payment ot the patiounal debt. Did this look like squandering the people’s money, or did it ook like an attempt to remove the burdens from the shoulders of the people? THE CHARACTER FOR HONESTY of officials under Grant's rule had been higher than ever before. In their mad career of villlifi- cation they wished them to forget that the Goy- ernment had to uphold its honor by loans at 12 er cent, and in the last ten years had paid over giD,OO0,00D per annum on the national debt, and established a credit for the mation second to none on earth. How those same gentlemen resolved about the finance question at St. Louis! They said that reform was necessary in the finances of the country. In 1863, when the greenbacks were = first issucd, they denounced them, but _in 1867 they changed front, and Pendleton ‘made a speech calling for the issue of unuu’fih money to pay the debt of the country. They bad changed again and again siuce. They did not at present desire specie payments, thouch the platform called for them. “They wanted to be known at the East as in favor of speeie pay- ments, and in the West as opposed to it ‘He was in favor of specie payments as soon as it could be safely accomplished, and he felt that it must be reached over the silver bridze rather than over the gold. [Applause.] He was in fuvor of recoining the silver dollar and making it a legal-tender. He thought of all schemes the worst was that of issuing a bond bearing interest from_ the Goveroment. and its paying interest for it, although it had mo use for it. Would any business man go on such principles as that? The Democratic platform showed great affec- tion, in these patriots, for TUE SOLDIER AND THE SATLOR. Tt was exhibited in a resolution saying that the widows and orphans of those who feil in battle Liad a claim on the Government. Did the reso- lution say all who fell on the Union sidet No. It might as well include any or all of those fall- jue on the Rebei side, These same reformers in Congress undertook to reform the balance of wankind, and this roformation was to take place by star chamber procecdings, and such unprecedeited scenes had never been witnessed or imasined. The Com- mittees, instcad of transacting their bustness, wred into inguisitorial bodles, er roporter concocted in his fecile brain sume charge against a member of Coneress, and forthwith a committee was ap- ointed, witnesses brought irom a distance at Jovernment cxpense, and the whole matter ¢nded without any good. WLO WERE THESE MEN who proposed to chnufic the Guvernment and reform the New World? They were the fieree and unrelenting traitors who linked their fortunes with anybody to earry their schemness those were the bushwhacker, the scessionist, the old slaye-owner, the keepers of. Andersou- ville, the John Morrisseys, the gamblers and thieves of New York—stch a body as would destroy all system of government if allowed to have their own way. In the House there were sixty-nine rebels, backed by one like Ben Hill, and the cringing Democrats of the North, whose conduct astonished even the old slave who had a seat beside his former master. Yet another appeal was made. It was that of the bard times—that had nlw;:fs been used, but the times could not be charged to the Republi- can pnr!i- p He had no faith in men who winked at mur- der and assault. If he was asked what of MR. TILDEY, he would say that he was a Jife-long Democrat, a leader in ‘l’ammm;, a railroad wrecker, and there were many menin this State who had lost money by bim.~ When he found that Tweed had gone_ su far in stenling\fls to be found out, he squealed on him. In New York, since Mr. Tilden’s nomination, that Ecnt.!eumu bad made a speech in which he said tliat at last the eople were reaching the worst condition of the old countries of the world. This language was only equaled by the intamous words of the leaders of the secession in turning the Deople against the Union. This falsifier of a pation was a candidate for President, and would they say that a man who could use such words would not he a pliant tool in the hands of [ traitors? \r. Hendricks had made 2 record ' First—The p’ and showed himself up in all the principles of the rebels. ‘The restoration of the old Democratic party meant the loss of all that had been gained.

There were a great many local visitors at the Grand Pacific Ifotel rooms yesterday. The number of letters received was very large, and among them were some from New York State. They state that the enthusiasm over Gov. Mor- gaw’s nomination is great, and that this action of the Couvention has done much towards uniting the party, and that the Empire State will come to the front with 1 majority of 20,000 for Hayes, Wheeler, Morgan, and genuine re- form. Among those registered yesterday at Repub- lican bheadquarters were James H. Pad- dock, Springfield, I; T. J. Moak, Watertown, Wis., mcmber of the Republican State Central Committee; George D.

A number of Cooper’s tracts were sent away Jesterday. A letter from Massac County was Teceived yesterday, stating that greeuback light was ‘wantcd down there. A few linen rags were mailed and 8 nurse recommended. Some rag-baby enthusfast is to have a bean- pole raised at Blue Jeland next Saturday, from Which a pennant will be flung to the breeze.

TIn answer to a call for the assembling of gol- diers who fought the Rebels in_the late ‘War, and who now propose to vote for Tilden and Hendricks, a few ward politicinns met at the Palmer House last evening. The object was to capture the soldicrs of German nationality, but they were not there. The gathering dispersed aiter appointing a committee to arrange for re- peating the effort at an early day.

Dollofl, of Boulder; for Representative, B. Bel- ford, of Gilpin. THE PLATFORM. The following platform was adopted: tform of principles, adopted by the Natiopal Republican Conventlon at Cincinnati, June lith, is approved in full and adopted. = Second—That as the preservation of our nation from destruction from a Democratic Rebellion was by the Kepubliban party, €o_we believe that its perpetuation as u nation, and the maintenance of our civil hioerties depend upon the continuance in power of the Republican party. : Third—That we believe inat the election of Samuel J. Tilden to the Presidency of the United States would prove a natious) culamity 18 practi- cally reopening the issues af the late Civil War by placing in power as commander-in-chief of the army and navy one whose political record identifies | Bushick (signed Ind. Artillerist!!?). him with those who hold'to the doctrines of State Rights nnd Secession, and one opposed to caerclve measures 10 maintain tho intezrity of the U Zourth—The bold and impudcnt assumption by the Democratic national platform, and by the let- ters of acceptance of the candidates for President and Vice-President that the Democratic party is & party of reform, isa gronndless and false pretense of virtue, which is contradicted by its own history in every instance wnen it has risen to power. Fifti—That true and genuine reform. and an honest administration of the aflairs of the Government, can be looked for only at the hands of the Jtepublican party, which alone have dis- played the courage and integrity of punishing its criminal public_oflicials; whereas the Democratic p:lr;._y always allows its rogues to go unwhipped of Justice. Sizth—That the practice inherited from the Dem- ocratic party of making tho Federal offices of the country the rewards of party zeal, rather of fitness or good service, {8 fraught with dangers than re- publican inxtitutions, and shouwid be discontinued. Seventh—A currency of uncertain value is the cause of distrust and depression in business.. The currency of the country shonld be that of the mer- cantile world, in order that the exchanzes of commerce muy keep it ot the proper amount, and a_speedy return to a currency redcemable in gold and silver coin is demanded by the best in- terests of the conntry, and the repeal of the clanse of the law of 1875 for resumption of specie-pay- ment in 1879 is a step backward. _ Eighth—The General Government having long since established the rule of donating tonew States for educational purposes their swainps and o flowed lands that ave to be reclaimed for agricul- tural purposes by articial means, and Colurado having hardly any land of that description, we therefore ask of the General Government a donation to the State for the ob- Sect mamed of the arid lands thereof, or a share of the sawe equal to the average of swamp lands donated to the Middle Statcs, since they equally requiro reclamation by artificial meane, - Ninth—The General Government should by some systematic planstndy and determine as nearly as possible the origin and veculiaritics of the grass- hopper plazue, which periogically ryvages lurge portions of the western half of the Un:on, and in good time extend its aid to the people in uarding Suainst and preventing such wholesale losses to the agricultural population as they now sufer. Tenth—That under our State Government the power of counties and municipalities to contract indebtedness should be closely restricted, and the rate of taxation should be kept at the lowest possi- ble limit adequate to meet mecessary public ex- cnses. “Elerentli—That in Gov. John L. Rontt we recoz- nize and honor & man without spot or blemish, and we beartily approve his administration ay the Executive of our late Territory, and the Chief Magistrate of this the youngest commonwealth of the nution. FOR CONGRESS. TWENTIETH OHIO DISTRICT. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 26.—The Demoeratic Conyention in the Twenticth Congressional District to-day nominated the Hon. Rufus P. Rauney for Congress by acclamation. BUTLER'S CHANCES! ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 20.—Tie Republicans clected Butler delegates to the Congressional Convention in the Seventh District. The Gen- cral requires_but sixteen additional votes to in- gure his nominntion, which is deemed wore than probable. CORRESPONDENCE. = THE SWEDES IN THE NORTHWEST. To the Editor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—It is well-known that the Swedes of thisand adjacent States (Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota), constitute a very important political element, the aia of which is absolutely necessary for triumoh at elections in some localities, as for instauce in the Counties of Henry, Kuox, Rock Island, and Bureau, in this State, where they are both Bu- merous and influential. As arule, they have hitherto been very faithful Republicans, having, in fact, alnost formed a unit for this party. But, as I have found during a recent trip among them, they are now far frotn presenting a solid phalanx for Hayes and Whecler. There was a little disturbance in their ranks already, in 1872, when some of them joined the Greeley movement, under the impression that a great reform was gbout dawning upon us. That breach, then small and insignificant, has grown wider and wider during the last four years, and threatens now to divide them permanently, unless, us I hope,they, on the sober second thought, and by aid of a fuller in- formation concerning the parties contending for power, resolve to stand by the old craft, the Republican party. Te dissenters consist of two classes: Tilden men and Cooper mén. The Iatter are quite numerous among the farmers: and their enthusiasm for *the interconvertible humbug ** (the proper name I think for Kelley’s -baby) is so strong in some parts that tley will listen to nothing else. That clase seems to be irredecmable. Not so the Tilden men. They are not yet committed to the “putrid reminis- cence ™ (for which they have no love), although leaning to that side, the reason being their hallucination that William Tweed’s old iriend and colaborer is a reformer, and that he, if elected, would, as by a wand, transform the country from what it is to what the poets dream of,—an_ideal Republic. The big hue and cry about Tilden’s deedsin New York has,forthetime being, made them belicve that he is what he retends to be, and, having heard very little of Gov. Hayes, they seem to think "that he is no more than his modest character hitherto has revealed, Of this they can be dis- abused. For, mark, they are honest,and open to conviction. Being an American, 1 cabuiot read theirg:lpcrs. but I am reliably informed that two Swedish journals published in Chi- cazo stand firmly ob the Republican side, and asthey arc a reading and reasoning people, hat i3 one reason why I hope for the return of the dissenters. I suppose, further, thatthe re- sgcntive State Committees are looking after this matter. Campaign documents, speeches, and other means must be employed in order to enable us to count with safety upon this part of our population. Democratic emissaries are among them, working hard to deceive them. But let them understand the true issue of the day; showup Shammy Tilden in a clear light before them; expose the pertidious party, and let them understand that there is more genuine teform in Hayes than there is_in all the Demo- eratic politicians in the land. They will then be ours. REeBUS. A. 3. GALLOWAY FOR SENATOR. To the Kditor of The Tridune. Cm1cAGo, Aug. 26.—Nominations for the fall elections being now in order, I wish to propose for the office of Senator from this district the name of our well-known citizen, Mr. A. J. Gal- loway. Our present delegation in the Legislature is,- territorially, decidedly onc-sided, Scnator Thompson living in Hyde Park, and the three Representatives residing respectively in Hyde Park, Lake, and the extreme southern part of the city. Mr. Galloway is a resident of the rich and populous Third Ward, has long been identi- fied with the interests of the ci and promi- nent in all public enterprises, political or other- wise. He isau officerof the Ward Club, and has contributed l:u'gt}!fi' by his knowledze of men and of political affairs, his sound judgment and and genial manners, to the ~ harmony and ecfliciency of that organization. e has large’ experience in State affairs, having, waen quite a young man, s Engrossing Clerk of the House for seversl years, been brought constantly in contact with public men and measures. He was 2 member of the first Legislature aftér the adoption of the new Con- stitution, and was active in the proceedings in- cident to that important period. But it is chiefly the connection of Mr. Gal- loway with the important subject of taxation that suggests him as the right man to represent Chicago and Cook County at this time. Proba- bly no other of our citizens has given so much thought and time to this subject as lie, as Chuir- man of the Committee on Taxation of the Citizens’ Association. 1lis report made in De- cember, 1574, anticipated the humiliating difli- culties in which we are now so deeply iuvolved. The personal expericoce of the writer within the last year has sown him keenly the absolute necessity of reform in the entire Revenue law, and it is this consideration mainly that prompts him to address you this communica- tion. ~ The public agitation of the subject dur- ing the samc period must bave taught the tax- paying fienp!e asimilar lesson. t will be a great waste of force to send un- tricd or inexpericnced men to the Legislature this fall. We need the best efforts of the wiscat of our citizens to lift us out of the sloughin Which we are now wallowing, Mr. Galloway is ancxpert in the matter of taxation. lleis morcover thoroughly in harmony with the spirit of reform that is now abroad in the land, aud with the principles upon which the present po- litical campaign has been iflugurated, gs pro- claimed in the letters of acceptance of Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler. If elected, e, will be a party to no jobbery or corruption of any kind. Heisa gentleman of fedependent fortune, and bis pr]i“v:\u character is above suspicion or re- proach. Can the voters of the Second Senatorial Dis- trict do better than to make A.J. Gallowsy their Representative this fall¢ J.R. P BUSHICK. To the Editor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—In the Democrat (a Ger- | man Tilden paper published here in the city), a number of ex-Uniou soldiers announced a meet- ing of importance to be held Aug. 26,8t 8 o'clock p. m., at the Paimer Housc in thns city. Among the number of names attached to th call, I notice the name of the notorious Felix This Mr. Bushick is the same individual who tried to select names under a fraudulent circalar (for the oitive of Notary Pablic). I these fellow- soldiers that signed their names under the call, and who served their country faithfully, should not know who Mr. Bushick is and what charac- ter he bears, 1 will take pains totell them. Mr. Felix Bushick has never worn the United States uniform, and could never haye taken part as a volunteer against the Rebels, simply because he did not see the American_shore sooner than the autumn of 1868—the time helanded in New York. Atter stopping there for several months with- out any steady employment, he finally gotan engagément as a canvassing agent for a life-in- surance company called ** Hildise-Bund,” and in that capaciry he came to_Indianapolis, at which place he resided until 1871, and where he vprobably got ncqunintcé with some person or persons who might have served during the War in one of the Indisna }mltcrlcs. A short time after the great fire of 71, he cmbarked for Chicagn, with the intention of establishing himself as au_architect. After being employed as such for a short time he went in partnership with one Mr. Biederman, for- merly.of Pittsburg, Pa., but could mot agree, and the firm, Bushick & Co., conscquently dis- solved. After some hanl struggling for life, he ot employment in the City Post-Office, through the influence of the great office-dealer, Mr. Jake Relun, but was discharged after the fall clec- tionof 75 for incompetency—and not, s he tried to malke his friends and the public belicve, because of his political sentiments. In refer- ence to the above, I do not bulicve that many old soldiers andsatlors will joln a political asso- ciation among whose members are allow individual who not only never saw any military service in this country, but is perhaps not 2 zen of this country.

TIE COSTON OYSTER PARLORS. That localities become famous is a fact of common observation, and is particulurly a feat- ure of the oyster trade, frequent illustrations appearing In the various large cities of the country. The marked pertinacity with which people adhere to the custom of V1. sort is a matter of comment, and fin cxemplifieation in the Boston Oyster Parl The mention of the locality known as the sout! cast corner of Madison uand Clark Strects is alone suggestive, through by no means vague recollections, of all that Is delicons und ai- Lrarttivc in that popular American cdible, the oyster. ‘The preparations for the scason that isalmost upon us have been extensive, and every con- ceivable adaptution for the accommodation and pleasure of the concourse of ladies aud gentle- men who will daily grace with their presence this delightful resort has been introduced and perfected.
