PUBLIC OPINION.

Gov. HAYES Is rs piiapie rs AaSh'
Chandler could desire.
ONE term of Hayes would make three
terms of Grantism.
Mrs. GRANT says obstinacy, the moral
republicans say insanity, the doctors say
periodic neuralgia!
"ELECr me Just once and won't ask
YOU to again" is the Interpretation OF the
strong part of Hayes's letter.
CoNKLINa and Shurz will stump In
diana together. Conklings performers"
nominated Hayes, you remember.
GRANTS last orders: Let no guilty
man escape-psrdon. Let no innocent
man escape punishment baltimore

JUDGE WIN. Ii. FRAZIER, was renorni-
mated by reclamation, for Judge OF Court
of Common Pleas by the Republican
Convention at GAINESVILLE last Tuesday.
WHAT Gen. Hayes said in his letter
and what Gen. Grant said in commune
cation in 1870 are so much alike that both
documents might have heen written by
the same man. Perhaps they were.
Such links of reform as connected the
treasury with Bristows regime, are TO be
Topped of by the indignant hand OF
Grant. He don't want any reform in his
neig hborhood and the friends Of Bristow
are to so.
The newspapers are UNI ecessarily
facetious over the announcement that
while Beecher is away, his pulpit will be
filled by a person named Bray. Any ass
could make paragraph about that
WHEN a cabinet officer gets such kicks
Ms the president gave Taft in the Pat
Over affair, that officer must be made OF
"sterner" stuff than he should be, il he
stays.
EVERY Convention held by Republi
cans has endorsed Grant and his Admin
istration, and Grant and his supporters
endorse Hayes, thus proving that Hayes S
election would be continuation of the
Grant system OF nepotism and plumber
ing. The same machinery will turn out
the same kind of goods.
The Philadelphia Times says of Til
den's speech accepting the nomination;
So far Hayes has blundered and Tilden
has been quick to profit by it, and If he
shall continue to founder about the re-
form standard, while Grant and Hayes
leading supporters are hurting the lie into
his teeth in answer to every promise he
makes, he will be disgracefully defeated.
Political fireworks are very well in their
way, but common honesty will be the
winning attribute in the Centennial con-
test.
Boston POST Jewell is turned out as
soon as the President could get around to
the Post Office Departmet, his offence be-
ing an unobtrusive sympathy with Bris-
tow. Meantime, the United States Dis
trict Attorney at Chicago has dismissed
the cases against the Whiskey Ring in
that city, in accordance with orders from
Washington; and Zach. Chandler, I'M
der whose advice rs the most congenial
and the most trusted member of the Cab
met it may be supposed that these chang
es were made, is chosen to manage the
HAYES campaign as Chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Committee!
Or Mr. Tilden's speech of acceptance
the New York Tribune SAYS: ALE gave
his opponents no chance for an advan-
tage. lie will be equally careful and
shrewd IN the preparation of his letter OF
acceptance, and whoever is looking for
the exposure Of weak or assailable point
in that document will be disappointed.
The opposition may as we'll understand
first as last that they have to deal with a
politician of remarkable shrewdness,
whom it will not be easy to corner"
THE thing for Governor Tilden TO do,
according to Brother Bowles, "is to say
the same things in fewer and stronger
words, if he can, andthen throw his hett
on the folly of intrustiug the task OF
working out these reforms 10 party
which, after all that has happened, still
formally indorses the Grant Administra
ton and talks about the immense scrvi-
ces IN the civilian line its head. A re-
mark or two on the resistance of the Sen
ate to retrenchment might not be amlss.
The Boston Globe, Republican, with
independent variations, sums up the
Presidential campaign in single para
graph. Itssys: "Personally the Repub-
lican candidate in his sentiments and his
purposes, as expressed in this letter, is all
that could he asked for. The only doubt
remaining is as to his ability TO contend
against the machinery, that has been es-
tsblished at Washington, to overthrow
the strongholds Of corruption, and to
route from positions of influence and
power those who are responsible for the
condition of things which makes reform
the great issue OF this campaign. In case
of his election he would have task OF
enormous difficulty to perform"
