day and resolved formally that the candidates VINO had
declined 70 through the mu'nnAly OF running lOr

solved that even il the Republicans should nominate

run their own candidate since they wished TO secure
prohibition basis without dication rom elmer
tie old parties" Their action may nO De :ulclitcu
by the Democracy but 1t helps that party just rs mucn

the Democrats in att mpt To doctor the IT. LOUIS
platform In preparing copy for his manual he found
two changes in what is called the Official copy. In the
sentence We denouncc the resumption clause oi 1870.

ont that the man VINO starts the superstition that

Indiana politics are in tremendous jumble.

state 10 swing Peter Cooper They are SO strong
that they have begun 10 quarrel among themselves

The harmony in the Democratic party Is
becoming uproarous. The soft money folks in Cincin-

is the charge that his wife is Methodist and If he is
elected "Parson Newman will be continued as court
chaplain" and lots of other evils would follow. The C-
cnGh Commercial makes this comprehensive answer TO
the assertions What Mrs Ilayes's religious views and
dcuomnatiOna relations may be. we do not know and
do not care Bat great deal worse calamity might hap
pen than a lady the White House who professed
Christian and member OF the Methodist Church We
have had President without wife, and the result OF
that experiment ought TO aimOnish the people to be
full how they put into the highest office without
aSmarital as well rs constitutional adviser. Jimmy
doesn't count for fair respocaoiiity among past Preo
weak promises to be bad "A failure in reforming tue
civil service Jimmy in preserving the authority OF the
Constitution and the laws IL is impression that tho
p>ple will not object TO Hayes because his wife Is
Christian woman"
