FOR REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. FIHST DISTRICT. CHARLES H. JOYCE, Ot Rutland. Thcv seem to liavo a realizing sense of the situation out in Minccsoia.

The St, Paul Pioneer-Press and Tribune, indepen dent, says: "The miked and simple truth Is that the people have made up thel minds, in spite of their disgust for Grant 1 lam, their longing for a whoiesomo and general reform, their rcstlvencss under too heavy burdens of taxation and the tariff, their anxiety for a return to eolid and enduring monetary basis, and the natural popular pcncTiaut for change, that there is no safety nt present In looking to the democracy for the real isation of their hopes." The same here in Vermont. At the recent democratic county couven Hon, ono of tho orators "arraigned" the republican party because Zick Chandler, secretary of the inteiior, was chairman the republican national committee. democratic district convention will be held i-uUiBuay. will eotnc of tho orators on that occasiou give their attention to the fact that the democratic national commit tee met in New York, Wednesday, and i the absence of President Hewitt, "Govcr nor Tildcn's secretary, Mr. W.

T. Felton prcsmeu Anomer "organizing cir cular, probably, to be issued without Til den's knowlcdgo. Our friend Redlogton, in his speech at the recent democratic county convention, nt Jlcntpeiier, put it about ri3ht when he id, that tho St. Louis platform was '-an earnest and vigorous cry for a bolter condition of things." Yes, thaj "wolf, gaunt and hungry," ot which Governor Tildcn Bpeiks tho democratic party has simply whtt'cd Its appetite on the meagre supply of loaves and fishes at the disposal of the lower house of congress, and which wero doled out to them by it. Tho supply didn't begin to go around, and eo they lap their jaws, and set up "an earnest and vig- orous cry for a butter condition of things' a "condition of things" that shall place In their Lands all the ofllces of government from the president of the United States down to tl.o smallest cross-roads postofllcc.

It would bo a "better condition of things" for them, but death to the country. The Pictorial, with a mendacity as char-acteristlc of that journal as it is unparalleled among Vermont newspapers, says. in speaking of the series of historical sketches delivered, and to bo delivered, on appointment of the several governors, in connection with tho national centennial: Wo understand that Gov. Peck made blank appointment for this Btate, that is he made an appointment without naming the appointee." The statement isas false as it is malicions, and was known to be false when made. The secret of the mall- clous falsehood is that Gov.

Peck saw fit to appoint for-lhe servico a gentleman connected with Tiie Gr.oiiE a gentleman In every way qualified for tho position with out consultation with the very gentlemanly editor and publisher of the Pictorial. As we arc not the individual intended to be slurred, we deem It proper to mako this explanation, but without tho knowledge of our associate. THE WAY TILDEN EXPLAINS While that portion of tho country, and a very small portion it is too, who have not, In the lapse of time, forgotten thit Samuel J. Tilden Is nominee for the presidency, aro anxiously awaiting his letter of accept-ancothat they may ascertain in what manner ho will explain and interpret the oh-noxious portions of the St. Louis platform, it may not be amiss to recall ono of his former explanations, In order to see tho facility with which he makes them, and of how little worth thoy aro when made.

Tho electoral voto of tho state of Now York was cast for Horatio Seymour for president of tho United States, In 1808, and John T. Hoffman was elected governor of tho state by frauds practiced in tho city of New York frauds not only in tho polling of illegal votes, but, also, in the canvass and return of tho votes. The wny was paved for the fraud in tho canvass, by a "confidential and strictly private" circular Issued, and signed by Samuel J. Tilden, in which tho chairmen of tho democratic county committees throughout tha state were directed to monopolize tho use of the telegraph, and send full statements tho country voto, because thcro was "an Important object to bo attained by a simultaneous transmission at the hour of closing tho polls, but no longer waiting" namely that It might bo seasonably nown just how many fraudulent votes It was necessary to return as cast in wow York city to securo tho state to tho democracy. Tho day after tho election, and when it was known that llio democracy had secur ed tic statoby it was understood how tho frauds had been made possible, and how they had practiced, this confidential and strictly private" circu lar, signed by SamuclJ.

Til Jen, was published in tho New York Evening Post whereupon Mr. Samuel J. Tllden writes and publishes a letter, referring to tho clr- culnr in which ho says "No such paper was ever written, signed, issued, or ait-' thorlzed by mo, or with any participa tion or knowledge on my part. I have read it for tho first time In your columns. Very much surpriioJ, Isn't he Very Indignant, too? Some ono has been mak Ing an unauthorized use of lib inmc I He can't rcit, even for.a moment, under the Imputation I As toon 119 ho reads it In tho New 'York Jiccninij Post and that is tho very first knowlcdgo ho has of it he makes hasto to disavow It I All very plain and explicit, is it not Hut now ho Is "vindl catcd," and thus he "nails tho campaign lie," and thus his supporters, to-day, arc agaiu "nailing" it I Can it bo possible that a'jy one, after this clear, emphatic, explicit denial, can have tho hardihood to repeat tho "campaign canird It is repeated, notwithstanding Samuel J.

Tilden's dental. Unfortunately for Sam' ml J. Tildcn and his denial, ho was exam' lno.1 as a witness, under oath, before a con gressional investigating commlttco, December 30, 18G8, and wasqucstloncd by no less a man than Michael C. Kerr, now or recently the democratic speaker of tho democratic house of representatives, lie there testified that he made tho denial "bo- cause I was not pleased with tho prctcn-" tious naluro of the document to which my name was bigned." How prctcn "Hons," Mr. Tildcn I Because portant object to be attained thereby was tLo making of false and fraudulent re turns? Because the circular was improp cr of itself? Because there was anything iu it, that was not in full accordance with democratic usages and tactics? Not at.

all Lot him explain, under oath, what there was "pretentious" about it, and why he publicly disavowed it. I havo a particu lar distaste," ho ssys, for, confidential and strictly private, circulars, because havo never known of any printed circu lar that did not immediately become pub lie. 1 havo had too much experience) in such things ever to mark circulars in that very pretentious way, unless I want ed to insuro their being published with' out unnecessary delay." This then was his only objection to it. It was printed, and marked confidential and strictly pri- vate," and so thero was danger of its be ing made public. It was a perfectly proper circular to issue, but he had had too much experience to mark it in that pretentious way.

But was Sirauel J. Tildcn so very igno rant of the Issuing of this circular as he pretends, of the "Important object to bo attained thereby Samuel J. Tildcn hall for nA in tor tho purpose of declvidg, but under oath Premising that A. Oakey Hall, tho boon companion of Tweed and Tildcn, testifies that he, Tilden and Tweed were members of a political campaign committee that he was secretary and Tilden chairman that he wrote the circular and signed Tilden'sname thereto becauso it hod always been custom' nry to sign the name of tho chairman; wo come to tha sworn testimony of Samuel Tilden in reference to this circular. "A day or two before tho election," he testifies I was in the committee room at the Met ropolitan hotel, and I then understood tint a circular had been issued asking for early election returns." Ho subse- fluently testifies that some, but not all, of them had then been Issued, and says.

"understood their purport from somebodv. I saw on a table or shelf some circulars signed with my name, but I did not read them for understood their contents, Some gentleman, think it was Mr. A Oakey Hall, spoko ot It as having been etc. So it seems, from his own sworn test! mony, that he know all about the circular being issued, his name beiDg stoned to it, its contents, the "important object to be attained thereby, and never uttered word In protest, but, the rather tacitly, con owmcu meruio, auu men, when it was tuado public, endeavored to deceive the public in a letter so speciously worded as to amount to an absolute lie. His newspaper explanation and his sworn testimony are commended to that portion of the dem ocratle press of Vermont who are engaged in "nailing" this "republican lie and all will do well to remember the honesty and reliability of this man's explanation, when tney read, it they ever, havo the opportu nity, his specious letter of ccceptancc, Tho Venezuela Claims.

Godlove S. Orth declined being a candidate for governor ot Indiana on the repub lican ticket becauso of his connection with tho Venezuela claims. It has appearrd to day that tho notorious Sam Cary, candl- iiatu for vice-president on tho greenback ticket, was deeply Interested In this same claim. Tho.
