Taking Eiases Down Z e.eg.

The New York HsyG.a al through the can
vass has leaned toward the republican can
didate for President, but at the same time i
not blind 20 his short coninys. L. the issue
Of that paper for the GOth September, We
find the following
ESTIMATE or HAYES CHARACTER.
S, far as We are able TO judge from his
record Mr. Hayes l. mau come parts OF
whose conduct may be arproyrt, while no
part Of il can BE- admired. We look upon
him as mediocre, weII-iujeaticned gentle
man, VIII, has been lifted by the accident OF
( go'Iri,s 20 a position TO which he had no title
/ founded on PERSONAL qualifications. He has
none Of the elements Of a great and com
ruaniiug character; neither the breadth Of
intellect, the force II viii nur the sscendancy
over Other men with which nature stamps a
man born for leadership, He Ia Immeasur-
ably inferior to Moron, Blaine, CoUkliug
and half a doz II other republicans that
might BE- named Ia the qnali'I-s " bich iit
man for influence over other minds and make
him teir as a potent force IN poli:ics. We b.
heve Mr. Hayes 10 b. honest, bat not more
