| The Democrats would have liked to prove
that Gov Hayes had done everything wicked; ai ing in
that they trying to show that he did anything
says at complained OF Hayes that he is negative
man. From 1861 to 1865 it Is our impression that he
was toieraby positive person. II was Sam Tden who
WIS tao negative then. He was, rs Bob Ingersol
says a demurrer and aesened to nothing but the
peaceaudsurrender resolutions of the Chicago Conyen-

table Republican plot 10 has reliable information thas

Tiden's loss is Cooper's gain. TIE Graphic

suggests grand stampede 10 Cooper aud Cary IL says;
"Thc day Of tie Western Democracy is plain. Tiden
might as well given the goby and grand stand taken
for Peter Cooper who with tho prestige Of probable sno-
cess, would rout the corrupt radical holdes easily AZ

The Massachusetts Republicans neglected
MI weler's excellent advice long that the Widow
Butler seems TO have effected conquest. The Spring
eld Republican says Gen. Buffers nomination ny the
Republicans and election To Congress generally con-
ceded He seems have demorazed and possessed tho
Republican party In his district and according TO pres

votes as he loses Republican. This is not very credit
able state of things for Massachusetts, Republicansm
Gen. Butler will lud things good deal changed II he
goes back TO Washington He will Hnd different kind
OF Administration that which he has bsen accns-
toned to mani pulae, and House which he will have
difficulty in bullying than In old times In fact we
suspect that Gen. Butler has gone out OF fashion anu
only months in his old seat Will suffice convince
| him OF the fact
