MORE COLORADO LIES.

The desperation of Samuel j. Til
den is manifest in his scndiug out
frem his New York headquarters, the
base libel on General Hayes that he
is allied to the know-Nothings, that
he is hostile to foreign born citizens.
The Chicago Times and all the sate-
lites of Tildcn from ocean to ocean
are per order dishing up this base
falsehood, just as they are engaged in
lying about the glorious republican
victory in Colorado. OF this charge
against Hayes, the Hon. Carl Schurz
says sit is an utterly reckless charge"
He says further, ''to charge Governor
Hayes with Know-Nothing senti-
ments is the greatest absurdity.' AS
| to the letter which Governor Hayes
secretary wrote to the "Amcrican
Alliance, when that association mott.
fed him that they endorsed his nom.
ination, and which contained nothing
but polite response for their having
endorsed him, the following letter
from the secretary of that association
sets tho charge completely at rest:
