The stud must fit tightly, care being taken

OUR morning contemporary makes the
wonderful discovery that the Grafton
Sentinel is arrayed for HAYES and
WHEELER, and exults over this imagin-
arv accession with rs much zest as if in
earnest. But when it is remembered
that G. Nj. SHINN, the present candidate
for State Auditor on the Radical ticket,
is owner, and WAS editor, of the journal
referred to, the "Aopover," is not so
surprisingly strange after all. Our re-
collection of Mr.. SuINN, as seen through
our political horoscope prior to the cam
psign, is that he was passive Republi-
can, and so conducted his journal. The
transition, then, after his nomination was
certainly easy and natural.

IT is somewhat amusing as we'll as sig

IT is somewhat amusing as well as sig-
nifcant, these days of political excite
ment to observe closely some OF ths
issues of our Republican exchange list
and compile their stock in trade of ma
terial for worrying through the canvass
1t is the bloody shirt first, bloody SHIRT
last and all the time. On the waving,
shaking, and clutching at it, seems to
hangI'all the law of the prophets" Yes
terday morning was a fair specimen.
There was BLAINE's speech at Boston,
MORTON, GARFIELDs and LoGAN's at
Indianapolis; all so reeking with blood
that it would require but the deadly shot
and shell to make us believe we were at
war, fighting over again the old bat
ties; son, father and brother arrayed
in opposing trenches, shooting and bayo-
netting each other like the Turks and
Servisns are doing to-day. They ding
dong this cry day IN and day out until
the very bloody shirt itself is worse than
thread bare and the Republicans
are signing tor a rest or change from
this putrid diet. CARL ScHURz is the
only man who seems to have had
the courage to argue from any other
standpoint, and he Is so hampered up
by his record as prime mover in the
great independent demonstration, which
occurred in New York, denouncing the
Administration, that his language does
not carry conviction with it. The way
they are putting in their work, may all
be summed up in the FITZPATRICK let
ter to HAYES from Indiana, dated
August q, 1876, in which he says that
a bloody shirt campaign aOtH money! and
Indiana is safe; but u financial campaign,
and no money, we (the Republicsns) are
beaten. These are few of the re-
markable words in that docu.
ment, and over which all indepen-
dent voters should reflect. Are they
the words in that letter. not fraught
with corruption, and ladened with dan
ger? Do they not plainly point out
which of the two finger boards directs to
the proper road, to purity of govern
ment, general prosperity, good will
among men and peace between all sections
of the nation?

Cattels, without fear of the Impeachment
which now overhangs him.
Thus the speaker showed up in vivid
manner ,sll the enormities fiGrant and
mis- party, all of which Hayes heartily
endorsed. He showed how Tilden had
made a record for honesty and ring
breaking, even in his own party,
which presented striking con-
trast to the above picture.
Knowing tbis, the people would not hesi-
tate in their choice. West Virginia was
safe. Notwithstanding bayoncts, the
Southern States were safe. Fitzpatrick
had acknowledged Indiana to be safe,
and he believed Ohio was safe. or New
iork there could be no doubt, because
we have pilot al the helm of the ship
of state there who would weather the
storm. In November next there will be
seen Waterloo defeat of Rsdicalism,
and we would be able to say OF Mr.. Til
den as Canning said of the younger Pitt:
at hushed are the whirlwinds which
ruffie the deep,
And the sky is no longer with dark
tempests deiormed,

No. Here's to the pilot that'Il weather

At the open air meeting outside,
Colonel d. ID. johnson addressed q

We regret that we did not get 4

was telling truths which his hearers fully
understood and appreciated. He finish

time, his remarks being received with
applause loudly manifested.
