SOLDIERS, READ.-The Dayton Jour
nal says that seyenty-fiVe invalid sol
diers in the Soldiers Home in that city
asked to be taken to the polls that they
might vote for Hayes. Every man Of
them showed marks of service, almost
every one being minus leg OF arm.
The gentle Democracy received them
very much as their brethren in Rich
mond would had they attempted to
vote in that city. "Pity you hadn't lost
both your id arms Sorry that e1e
not killed you, /" shouted the VallHn-
dighamers as the veterans were leaving
the polls. Comment Is unnecessary.

fore the law, would also deprive white
men Of thes same rights did the Oppor-
tunity offer, or their eelfshness require
them to do so.'f

he may have saved his credit ct Paris,
but he has lost the respect and affee-

say there have been several demonstra-

officers and shouting for Rome, the cap
