Of the Liberal party OF 1912, and one VIII,
firmly believed that party was the destined
successor OF the Republican adminis,ra
zion. IN addressing the Republican Stat,
Executive Committee. after stating bust

che Republican platform Oh the stnmp. A.
10 Governor Hayes. fot personal =. well
as public reasons, should be most glad &c
give him any aid m my'powef.
That this is sincere and disinterested
Governor Cox's present position in poll.
tics is sufficient guarantee. The other
dispatch comes from Governor Reuben E.
Fenton, Of New York. who. for con1ic.

Carl Shutz, allowed his name to be held
up as standard Bearer on a ticket he
knew would be defeated, endured che

friends, and the attacks Of the press with.
out ever descending to answer them. At.
ter remarking that it will be hardly posi-
bic for him to make an address for some
time to come. In consequence of brop chial
affections, he says:
10 is clear that the Democratic party OF
your Stat: has declared 20 icy OF inf1a-
ton and liquidation which is at war with
all honest finance. and which no citizen
