What be wants is powér, and does not care how it comes to him. Henayer drove us out of New York or' otther place—never cared for us any more than for any other working man. We have visited him in his elegant mansion—have heard his plans for gaining power. When we opposed the Tweed system of plundering, Mr, Tilden said we did wrong to jeopardize the Democratic party in New York, and thatit-was not the business of any private citizen to quarrel with his party, no matter what it did as guided by its leaders. When he became Governor he. began to tear planks from the ship of Democracy to buildfor himself a Tilden boat. He succeeded, as Tweed did—or any man can in that great State, who has the control of a machine that disburses patronage. We opposed him, as have thousands of good, honest, well informed Democrats of that State, because we knew him as one of the Tweed Ring, and because we have felt * deep conviction that he is not asafe man to trust in high official position. : A FARMER named Guthrie, who has a ranch over in the State of Nevada, has caught, by the aid of snares over sixteen hundred rabbits in the . e, last six weeks.

The Press pays.-‘Sound, within the last twentrave years, has been more ‘exten‘sively: employed to record mens’ thoughts and to distribute them, than in all preceding time.’’ Now, stenography has. given place to phonography.—Reporters use their ears and have symbols under the latter system to sepresent sounds—not letters or syllables, Telegraphers no longer decipher the punctures, lines, dots and-symbols,-appealing t6 the eye, but interpret by sound, by ear alone. Four-fifths of all the politics, news and commerce of the world, are now first recorded and receiyed by the ear and not by the eye. Why, then, in this philosophic: age, should not our spelling be done by this phonetic: system ? t. is no answer to say that the change from old forms—from custom, would cre-. ate confusion, A report of Friduy’s proceedings gives the following account of it: ‘‘At the spelin’ metin’ last evenin’, Miss Warner was introduced, She red a selekshun from ¥ietor Hugo's ritins.

Pomeroy, it must be acknowledged hat he is squared-toed in his opinions following is his deliberate view of Slippery Sam, Boss Tweed’s old partner: We have nothing against Tilden, He isa cool, cold-hearted, selfish, cuning, caleulating aspirant for office. What be wants is powér, and does not care how it comes to him. Henayer drove us out of New York or' otther place—never cared for us any more than for any other working man. We have visited him in his elegant mansion—have heard his plans for gaining power. When we opposed the Tweed system of plundering, Mr, Tilden said we did wrong to jeopardize the Democratic party in New York, and thatit-was not the business of any private citizen to quarrel with his party, no matter what it did as guided by its leaders. When he became Governor he. began to tear planks from the ship of Democracy to buildfor himself a Tilden boat. He succeeded, as Tweed did—or any man can in that great State, who has the control of a machine that disburses patronage. We opposed him, as have thousands of good, honest, well informed Democrats of that State, because we knew him as one of the Tweed Ring, and because we have felt * deep conviction that he is not asafe man to trust in high official position. : A FARMER named Guthrie, who has a ranch over in the State of Nevada, has caught, by the aid of snares over sixteen hundred rabbits in the . e, last six weeks.
