National Republican., 1876-06-30

Mrs. Hayes Republicanism Is OF natural
growth. She was Kentucky lady, and COM
ing into the possession of large number of
slaves, she manumitted them the moment she
could legally perform the act. Here is q lady
whom all loyal men and women will love to
honor as the next Presidents wife.
The New York Tribune, la closing an able
leader on the result at st. Louis, says "Un-
der the leadership of the honest, straightfor-
ward, popular and accomplished Ohio Cover
nor we look for a signal triumph of that party
which, in spite of all its errors, is still the
safest to be trusted with the honor and ma
terial welfare of the United States" Shake.
A new religious sect has sprung up In Iowa
whose principal tenet Ia that ga man In q
normal condition should be married to two
women" The influences of this new sect Is
very bad on the majority Of masculine Iowans.
They are all trying to rush back to a normal
condition with jump. Some of the animated
old rascals with tills brimming full of money
are willing to lavish 1t on "normal condi-
tions, !" but there seems to be very few in the
market. With two wives and one "normal
condition" in the family 1t would be as lively
as the day is long.
"Gath, }" writing to the Graphic, says:
could never understand why TiIden did not
make his peace with the Cincinnati Enquirer.
They say that he found 1t too dangerous to re-
tain everything, and that the applications
made to him for press support aggregated
81 900 900. He probably could not have OBJ
tanned the Enquirer at any price; the boys
were froward and mad" Mr.. Tilden could
not buy the Enquirer, but the result at st.
Louis forced 1t to support him or to be alto
gether ruled out of the party. Mr.. McLean's
leek is about six inches In diameter and twenty
in circumference. He is eating it now, and the
ridiculous editorial faces he is making over 1t
would make dogs tail wag with laughter.
Tildsn is nominated, the Democracy Is
stripped and in the field, everything is ready
for the great fight, and now the question
arises Are the rebels In the South going to
permit the colored voters to use, unfettered,
the elective franchisel This Is no child's
question. It is one which is in the lips of
every loyal and sincere patriot in the land.
VIII these men be allowed to vote If not,
is the South ready for the consequence The
Republican party made these men citizens,
and 1t will protect them in their citizenship.
There is a truth in this which force and in
timidation on the part of the White League
will make them fully realize.
1t does a sober, honest patriot much good
to gaze and gaze upon the Republican nomi-
nees. No halo of questionable transactions
cluster about their official past, while the
calm serenity of an honest present makes their
names precious to every loyal heart. They
are as free from pledges, obligations and entan-
clements as the freshly-driven snow is from
stain. They did not seek the nomination.
They did not advertise through the low
medium Of quack doctors. They posted no
bills concerning their many merits. Like
honest men, they stood ready If called, and
being called they will 60 into their respective
places free-handed and foot-loose, prepared to
give to this great country an administration
whose work will meet with the heartiest ap-
proval of all high minded and sincere men.
The Democratic press Is feeling very bad
because, as they say, Governor Hayes has had
little or no experience in public affairs. Let
US compare the public record of the loyal
Buckeye boy with that of Samuel J. Tildsn,
the Democratic nominee. Governor Hayes is
now serving his third term as Governor of
Ohio, and has been in Congress two terms.
For four years he fought bravely against the
enemies of his country, and to-day bears marks
of terrible wound received on the field Of
battle. As to Mr.. Tilden, he served two terms
in the State Legislature, but was never heard
Of outside of his own district, and is now serv-
ing his first term as Governor. During the
war, when General Hayes was bearing the
brunt Of our fierce civil contest, Mr.. Tilden,
peace Democrat, was discouraging the SOL
diers and growing immensely rich from the
corrupting influences of railroad monopolies.
