Unquestlonably al. lowance must bo made for strong personal fecling on tho part of the brother-in-law, which has inflaonced him to heighten tho coloring in his accusations, But aftor making duo allowance for all this distortion and dis. coloration, thero remains enougl behind—if not promptly and satisfactorily refuted—to disgust evary right-thinking person. 'To put in the Gubernatorial chair a man whoso char- acter was assailed by such unmnswerod chiarges, would boto puta stigma and dis- graco upon INlinois for which no party could afford to be responsible. Itis nil tho more surprising that the Democraoy shonld cling to n mon weighed down by such ac. cusations when Le has mnever accopt- ed its nomination, aud nover publicly stated whother he is in accord with the doc- trines laid down in its St. Louis platform. e haa nover intimated that ho believed in the Dacatur platform, made by thoe Green- backers who first nominnted him, nor hnas he stated that its principles woro objectiona- ble to him. Hoe is playing a Janus-faced part, and if elected somobody must bo chent- cd, There is ono thing, lowover, sbout which theroe is no dispute, that he is a coarse, illiterate, vulgar man, without one of the quatifications neodod by tho Chiof Executive of this State, 'Lo placo him at the hend of the Govarnment of Illinois wonld bo to fe- Inpse into Larbavism. If the Domocrata want tho people to boliove their talk sbout reform they should select for their standard- bogrer a 1an possessed of education aund do- cont manners, and who is not ashamed to say that ho indorses the principles advocated by the party. which selects Lim. Apparently, the Democrafic Committeo which waited on Mr, Stewanp ond informed him of his nom- nation hias been grosaly derelict in its duty in not insisting upon a prompt and definito ro-~ sponge. EFFECTS OF A CHARGE IN GOVERNMENT. The Demooratie politicians Linve indus. triously held up beforo tha country the enor- mous Ropublican majorities in the eloctions of 1872, when Goant had almost no opposi- tion in GnerLzy, and wherover the Repub. lican mnjority 1n 1876 falls short of that in 1872 thero is a shout that tho poople have chonged. In Ohio, at tho October election in 1870, the Republican majority was 13,831; in 1871, it was 16,08¢; in 1872, it wns 12,104 ; ot the Presidentinl eleotion in No- vember, it was 31,268 ; in October, 1873, Aurzn, Domocrat, was eleotod by B818; in 1874, tho Democrats had 17,000 ; in 1875, the Republicans had §,600 ; and. in 1876, 8,500. ‘The majority ia a littlo short of what it was in 1872, but it is declsive, and fore. tells n majority for IIayes in Noyvembor of 25,000, So in Ponnsylvania ut the October clection in 1872 the Republican majority waa 34,000, and in November it was 136,000, In 1874 tho Domocrats clected their candi- datos by 4,600, aud in 1875 the Stats gaven Ropublican majority of 12,000, It is not easontial that the Ropublican par. ty shonld cairy Ponnsylvania by 136,000 in 1870, nor wounld a reduction of that majority to 96,000 {ndicata that any considerable proportion of the pcople had chenged their minde. Befora, the date of tho elections in 1873 tho cause of Gurenry was known to beo lost, snd the wmuajorities sgainst bim largely exceeded that of the one party over the othor, The Republican party has been on trial during the lust four years, and the elections of 1875 and 1876 havo showan that it is vindi- catod {u the judgmont of the people. 'L'at theroliave boon frnds and corrnptions smong the mon in oftico is notorious; thut dishonest men have been in places of trust and be. trayod the public is not doniable; thot abusos huve oxisted and been pructiced is adwitted, But theso men have been rigor. ously stripped of thelr honom; frauds have Loen uncovered, and the guilty brought to justico; great abusos havo boon corrsated, and the party has fearlesuly discarded all men under wuspicion, and las presonted na its candidatea two men whoso publio and privato records aro beyond roproach, The party has rid itsel? of wll responsibility for offielal dishaucsty by expolling the guilty from it councils and prosecuting frauds to conviction, ‘Tho Ropublican party, however, has been on trial upon the most importaut question of Governmont. At the time Uen, Grant bo- cnmo Prosident, fn 1869, the Government credit was at a low standard. ‘I'ha national Londs sold up to that timo had not command. ed over 81 conts on the dollar, Tha nation- al finances wore in doplorable confusion, and exposed to all tho evils of uncertaluty, Oue party lind just proclaimed the practical re- pudiation o? the bouded dubt, and had pro. posed the jndeflnite expansion of the cur venoy, then ecriously deprociated. Thero was no Governmental policy, One of the firat acta of tho Republican party in 1869 was to place upon rocord o nativnal pledge that the United Siatis intondod 1o pay all ita debts, bonded and currency, in coln, aud to this polioy tho Republican party was then committed and is to-day commilted. Fox the fixst thne, the national credit avsumed a per- manent improvement, ‘Lho world accoptod the national pledgo, made in good faith. 8o rapidly did this credit improve that, while no bonds had beeu sold by the Government prior to 18G9 at more than 81 cents, Congross felt justified a yoat later in suthorizing the refunding of tho ontstand. ing bonds with new bonds bearing lower rates of Interest, It was true that in-1670 the panio overtook the country, prostrating and suspending many branches of industry, Lut, despite all this, the Ropublican party, from 1870 to 1875, had ralsed tho Amerioan credit to & peruanent and advanced standard, und while paying off and rodeeming over (00,000,000 of the national debt, and re- ducing tho aunual charge for interest 840, 000,000, hnd been sble to substitute at par $£00,000,000 of & por cent bonds for an equal nmount of 6 per cents, This socom- plished, and tho Repnblican party giving ns- suranco of its continuance in power by the nomination of Iavzs and Wnafzn, the presiont Soerotary of the Treasury has been ablo th borrow at par £300,000,(00, at 4} per cont intorest, with which to take up an equal-| amount of outstanding 6 per cent bonds, 110 Tins also the aeanranco that, no change taking place in tho policy of the Government, after this exchaugo shipll be comploted a loan at 4 pot cent cau be megotiated with which to tako up all tho remaining 6 per cont bonds then outstanding, The country has not been nnmindfal of this suceess, which fs, all things constdered, equal to tho success of the War for the Unlon. 1t wns n vielory of tho most difi- cult character. Tho United Stales, at no time provious to tho War, had ever succceded in obtaining o loan for any considerable amount at lees than 6 per cent interest. In Bucnanan's days 6 per cent bonds sold at less than par. Until the Republionn party had got rid of Jonxsox, the Troasury had been compelled to sell 6 por conts ot nearly 20 per coit disconnt. The Ropublienn par- 1y, howevor, hins beon able to inspire man. Xind with confidonco to such a degren that tho Government has beon nblo to borrow at par $800,000,000 at an average of 4] percent interest, The Republican party has in like manner gained such universal confldence that the currency has advanced to 91} conts in gold, All this, it should be remombered, has been nccomplished against the vigorous, un. relenting, and vindictive opposition of the Democratic party, which is now secking to got control of the Government, The publie credit hns novor been mors seriously throat- ened. In 18G8 tho Democratic party pro- posed the policy of the unlimited issue of greonbacks to pay off the bouded debt. In 1872, with Mr, Gnesrey, there were various oxperiments proposed, but in 1876 wo have tho peoplo of sixtoen States, constituting the ¢ Bolid South,” supporting this Democratic party on.tho doclared ground that under a change of Government the people of thoso States will bo compensated for lossos in tho War, amounting to over $2,000,000,000, thoreby doubling tho national dobt and flooding the country with bonds or legal tonders to tho complete destruotion of nn- tional credit, Such a chango for such a purposo will sink tho valto of our currency to its lovel in 1865, nnd Government bdnds will drop to the value of the currency. Tho values of proporty and investments of all kinds will be rovolutiohized, and chgos will como again; ‘Wo do not heliove tho country is propared to change tho Government for tha purposo of donbling the public dobt by expanding the issuo of greonbacks or tho' ‘fsaus of bonds to men who carried on the War to destroy the Union, Wo do not believe tho Northern peoplo are disposed to -clange the Govorn- mont that taxation may bo doubled. We do not boliove tho bankers, merchants, and manufacturers of tlie country, who aro just recovering from ono panic, desire a change in tho Government, that all stability in flnances aud confidenco in buniness may bo destroyed. 'We do not beliove that any por. tion of tho peoplo—the *claimants” except- cd—havoe any intention—just a3 trade, com- merco, manufactures, and production gener- ally have so for recovered from the panio that they aro looking forward to a healthy, permanent improvemont—to destroy all this by minking a chaunge of Govornment, that the */8olid South * may be pald its losses in its own war against tho Union, < EXPLANATIONS NOT EXPLAINING. The preliminary skirmish beforo tho grand bettleie ever, nnd tho Domocraticpickots havoe Leen drivenin, Tho Republicans have mora than held their ground, and have advanced tholr parailels closo Gp to the enomy's works, Now cumos tho ierious, earnest worle of tho campaign when every man is expeoted to do his duty. Ouo of the most important jssues in this enmpaign is Samues J, TiLoEN's per- sonal honesty, aund this charge, which wns made tho Lurden of tho October eampaign, must still be mado and presented to the peo- ple of this country who have any regard for pervonal honesty und incorruptibility, It will not do for the Tildenites to sny that the charga is mot. 'The explanation docs not oxplain, It still atands upon the record and has not been expunged that Samven J. TiLven swindled tho Government out of a large amotnt of rovenuo by evading the payment of his incomo tax. Until that charge i definitely oxplained, ho stands bofore the puople aa n defrauder of the revenuo, aud the Domocrat who votes for bim must vote for him knowing him to bo such, and thercby indorse dishonesty, 1t is now nearly two months since the chorge wos first wado sgainst hiwm, If it wore untrue that he had evaded payment of his incomo tax for saveral years, he counld have said so at once, as Cov. Hares did eud thus hLave settled tho matter. For a whole month the chiarge was iterated and reitorated in overy Republican news- paper of the country, and not a Democratic nowspaper could deny it, becauss tho Al bany Sphinx was silont, 1llis opponents challonged him to deny ft. 1lis friends be. sought him to mnke n statoment that would oxplain or disprove tho charge, but ho loft them euly tho poor golace of promising that when ho did say anytbiug about the chargo—n chargo that could have been an. swored in twonty-four Loura if it wero un. true—it would Lo outirely satisfuctory. After n month has elapsed, wo have un auswer mude by Mr, ‘WiLvun's confidentinl clerk to Mr. Hewrrr, Chalrmon of the Na- tionu] Domocratle Comusittes, Insatesd of belng a clear, simplo, specillc statement, ne. compunied with proof that hie had fairly paid Lis incowme tax, it is a long, obscure comuiu. niention, evading tho roal points at issue and the real atlegntions av originally made againat llm, 1o says: “'Lhe simplo fuet is, the awounts returned wero the uot result of in- coms, nfter tuking out lawful deductions,” But what was the incomne? What were the doductions? What other sourcos of ‘income aid Treoes have? These are pertivent ques. tions which e should have considersd in making out his case, but upon euch and every ono of theso poluts ha is silent, Har. per's Weekly says very significantly upon this subject: 1t Io not denfed that during tha years in which hy wmade 0 roturn hle fncome was very greatly ine creasd, sud that the Increnso of the tax bore uo Talr propurtion $o 4t. Thia fact leaves s cloud up- on the explapativn. The argument that fncome i a wholly private affsir cannot be urged, because partial explanations bave not beon refused, Mr, TiLogN aud L feiends olthor do not understaud tho exlgoucy, or thoy know that thoy canuob mect it 1o haw meroly dunled specific allegations, He haa not answered tho question ralsca by those alle- gations. That question fy, DId Br, TiLogs pay the fuil tox upon biy actusl luconts, or, knowing that 4ls iucowe Liad tucreased watirely boyoud any eatlnoto based upon hi peturn of 1802, dld he re- fraln from givingany clow whatevor to that fact, wnd 4o cscape paylng the full tax? 1o suys of & particalar yese that tho amonnts retarned were tho ncome, lens Iawfnl deductlons. Rut he doca not say that the tax pald in subsequent years wna the full tax wpon the actual fncoma leas lawfnl de- ductions. Tho whola adfair fa but another illastra. tion of the truth, which every development of the campslgn confirme, that the Democratic candidate is not a **straightforward ** man. Tho explanation does not explain, Not only is this true with regard to his ovasion of his income tax, but it i truein all directions, Ilo hns not explained his disloyal couduct daring the War, He has not explained his awindling of tradesmen by plending the statato of limitations. o hns not explained his connootion with the swindling of Michi- gan minora with wild-cat shinplasters. He hins not oxplained bisraflroad wrecking opor- ntions. Ha hag not explained his connection with the Twezp gang in stufling ballot-Loxes and stealing tho voto of Now York State. His own friends avo beginning to bs perploxed. Bomo of them havo grown discouraged. Many of thom are getting disguated. Awong the Iattor is tho Fitteenth Ward Tioey and Hrxpricrs Olub of New York City, which hos bolted the ranks en masse and proclajmed for Hayes sndsWaester, becnuso TrnoeN rofuscs * to oxplain somo things and foils to cxplain others, This Olub met on the Gth fnst, 0800, in num. ber, passed resolutions setting forth that inasmuch as Tiwpex had failed to oxplain the charges made ‘against him, thoy would tender their services to the Rapublican party and support the Republican candidate. On tho 9th inst, they raised n Haves and Wazerzs flag in place of the Tipex banner at their headquarters, because they nre tired of waiting for him to explnin, In the faco of such encourngement s this, lot these charges bo preased home, Let this mon who hes failed to cxplain his perjury avd defraud. fug of the Goverpment be lheld up in his truo light DLeforo the people. Tho fact that he hias not oxplained is not to bo cov- ered up by howling for reform. Mr, Truoex stands branded with the chargo of personal dishonesty. If he can romovo that brand, why does o not do s0? THE NEW BTATE. It will boar ropetilion to say thab tho centre of the political battle is ‘romoved to New York, ‘The loss of Indiang to tho Re- publicans mnkes i* not . impossible, bub rather difficult, to figiro out the election of Haves and WreeLen without the aasistanco of Now York. They can bo elected withont tho nesistance of New York, but it would not ‘be safo to bet upon it. Tho following States may be considered morally cartain to cnst their Electoral votos for tho Republican Presidentinl nominees, and ono of them—Colorado—is alroady so- cured ¢ AiNthode Island. ., 4iSura for Mayes,... Add Oregon, BINew Jersoy .. o 22 Necesearytoa nhnlco.is_s Republicans may fail to carry Now Jersey, but on the other hand they have an ovon chance of elocting their ticket in North Carolinn, which is a very hopoful Btate, ns thoro are white Repub- licauns enongh to nfford very considernblo pro- tootion to the colored votets. And then Indianna may be won for Haves in Novem- bor, Tho 8tato haanot gons Democratia for Trosident since 1806,—twenty years ago. The Demoorats havo almost nlways carried Indinna on the off-years, and sometimes at tho Ooctober election of the Presidentinl year, 88 was tha cnse in 1872, but at the Novem- ber olection lins nlways given its vote for the Ropubli¢an eandidatts for Presfdent, ind, if' precedont be followed, will do it again. But leaving this ohance out of account, we have named tho States that can elect Hayes withoul the Electoral votos of either Indinna or New York, DBut tho thing to do is to carry New York, and make perfectly sure of clecting Havea. With the voto of New York for Hayea hio can af- ford to losa Indinnn, Now Jersoy, Connecti- cut, Oregon, Florida, South Carolina, Neva. da, and Californin, sud still bo olected. Hence we call New York the keystone of the arch in this contest, ‘We enid yestorday that New York was go- ing to poll half a million votes for Havks and Wiazeren, and we ropent that it is not in the power of Sax TipeN, with all his monoy, without the most stupendous Lallot- box stnfiing, to beat that vote. Here are tho figures npon which our belief is based. Com. mouneing with 1860, the following table ex- hibits the Republican vote cast for Presidont at each oloction: Lincoln In 1800 recolved Douglus in 1860 recelve Republican mujorit; Lincoln fn 1864 .

The United Btates Bupervisors of the Election will pro. vont n ropotition of the wholesalo frands porpetrated at that time. The conclusion of the whole mntter is, that tho Confoderates liad botter not begin uttoring their Robel yolls boforo they are qut of tha woods, ns New York is going to record her thirty.five Electoral votes for Hares and WnreLER, DANKERS IN COUNOIL. Although Chiengo, a8 we aro informed, had no representative in the Bankers' Conven. tion juat hold at Philadelphia, tho proceed. ings of that body are of no littls intorest to tho banking and business mon “of this eity and its neighbors, It was s dignified gath- oring, nnd an ngrecable improvement on tha Convontion of last year, which, according to all accounts, devoted tself more nssidnonsly to tho allurements of Baratoga than the Iabo- rlous problem of national and individual finpuce. An associntion comprising a mnjor- ity or evon an influentinl minority of tho bankors of this country cannot fail to securo much nttention for the interests it repre- sonts, if it represonts them faithfully. Thero wore more than the germs of such an or. gnnization at the meeting ot Philadel. phin. It was a convention. of bank. ers held in Noew York in April, 1838, and nttended by 153 delogates from elghteen Btates, that did much to bring about the reatoration of specia payment that fol- lowed in tho succoeding year. The Philadel. phia Convention just adjonrned medo an im- portant recommandation towards resumption of epccic poyments by advising that tho greenbacks bo funded in a4 por cont gold Lond, This utterance by such a body will have n grent weight on the public opinion of the country. We are glad the Convention did not indorse Mr, MoCurrocn's viows on the reponl of tho Legal-Tendor act as pro- liminary to tho resumption of specio pay- monts, Tho gravest difficulties would ensuo in practieal business if this were dono. It would be much better to pay tho groonbacks than to dishonor them; toreplace thom with gold and silver legal tender, instead of de- priving the country suddenly of solargo s port of tho medinm of paymont. MAlensures woro tokon by the Convention for n porma- nent organization of the banking interest. Several valunble financial and oconomic papors were rend, Notable smong those was Mr. MoCurrocn’s address onbanking, which, with Lho others, will be published in the re- port of tho proceedings, and will make o use- ful book foxr the guidonce of business men who aro devoting thomselves to the stndy of tho questions therein discussed, Tho Con- vention adopted resolutions for the com- pilation of tho laws of tho differont States on nates, drafts, bills of oxchange, bills of lading, and tho like, and for an ap- peal to Congress for the ropeal of the stamp tax on checks, and lightoning other fiscal burdens on the banks. This Congress of Bankers has alrandy visibly stimulated tho discussion of tho topics in which they aad the community ave recipracally interested. ‘The newspapers havo devoted a large nmount of spaca to its procoodings and comments upon them, and it is to bo hoped that the orgrnization that has been initiated will bo porfocted and continued. In this way tho bauking intevast, which hos been almost Ia- montably silent on thp fnoncial issnes of tho day, oan make itsolf influontially folt in their settloment. A significant contrast is suggestod by tho career of the YounoEz-Jamrs outlaws who woro recontly hunted down in Minaesota. In Missonrl tioy rode into the towns snd robbed banks in brond daylight; stopped passenger trains and, aftor omptying tho ox. pross safo, *‘went through” everybody on board the cora. In the presonco of mora “than ten thousand peoplo, and in broad day- light, they presontod thoir pistols at tho tiokot oflice of the Kansas Oity Fair Associa- tion and forced the Troasurer to hand over $10,000. Thoy murdered officors sent to arrest them, and, despite their plunderings and murders, so enlisted popular sympnthy in their behalf that the reward of $25,000 for their capture remained unclaimed, though their whorenbouts were well known, and, in fact, instond of hiding, they paraded them- selves publicly for the admiration of their fellow-Missonrinns, And had they re. mained in Missourl to thbo end of their lives doubtless thoy might with impunily have gona on with their rsidiog of railroad traing, and havo beon regarded with ad- miring pride by their follow-citizens of that Commonweslth, But thoy extended thoir ficld of operations to Minnesota, mado thoir attack on the Northfleld Bank, committed their dastardly murder of Izxwoop, aud, to their wonderment, doubtless, thoy wero not thercon hailed as herolo- follows who had gollantly guthored frosh lourels. Instead, the Minnesota fnrmers turned out with thoir shot-guns and rifles, followed up tho trail of the assassing like slenth-hounds, and hunted them down, What must have yet more ns. tonished the outlawa who survived the fight thoy mado whon overtaken was that, instend of being hanged to the neareat tree, thoy were handed over to tho authorities to bo doalt with according to law. In Missourl, where the barbarisin of slavery bred border-rufanism, apd where dnring the War the border-rufiian ‘developed into the yot moro villninous guorrilla, tho soame ‘stato of socioty in which there wus place for the border-rnifian and guerrilla has been so fur maintained that to.day, as tho caroor of the Youxarn-Jaurs gang proves, thore is place also for organizod banditli. No Ustnloninn bandit was over more sccurely habored than wore these satno outlaws in Missourl. ‘I'ho local authorities wore just as powerlesd to foteh them to justice, becauso of the popular sympathy with them, asare the Itulian police ta capture tho banditti who ‘demand ransoms for their prisonors, Sheriffs and detectives long nga consed darlug to at- tempt the copture of thoso Missouri ban. ditti, o thoroughly in sympathy with them were the paopla of the counties fu which the outlaws lurked, that wno officer ventured to attempt to call out the posss comltalus to aid in their ar. rest, Even now the Stato oftloials sotually doclino to furnish tho Minnesota nuthorities information that willaid in bringing the mur. darars to justice, or that will eusbly their captors to socure the rowards offered.
