The Chicago Suornost, a Bohemian
paper of large influence and circulation,
which has heretofore supported Hayes,
now COMES out for Tilden.

The Democratic club of Darlington,

REPUBLICAN eagles holding in their
beaks thirty thousand majority in Yer
mont, dropped six thousand in one day.
Twenty-fouf hours more another reduc-
tion was made. Fol, many years we
have noticed that Republican majoritiesl
are always reduced from the first report,
and Democratic ones are increased. Yer
mont is loss not a gain to the Republi-
cans. ss 3sss
The voice of the people exclaim with
no uncertain sound: We must have a
ch ange. The men who are stealing our
money, closing our workshops, driving
the honest mechanic, laborer, farmer and
artisarl to poverty, must be swept from
office to make room for honest men. The
Republican party has outliYed its useful

Two months ago the Radical papers
told US that Hayes was worth $500, 900,
and that being in good circumstance,
there would be no indpcement for him to
accumulate money in the Office of Presi-

rushing around With sfidayits to prove
him bankrupt, not worth cent. Rather

KA8sAs CITY@1 Tines: Gov. HAYES
was partien1 ar and SO anxious to do
the far thing by The tax. gatherer that
he returned his child's pet lamb for taxa
ton. eBut he forgot to return his fine
piano, and the horse he swore was worth
only 500 for taxation could have been
sold in Fremont any day for $500. These
things don't seem to consist Is
ROCHESTER Union and Advertiser ::
Governor Hayes, the Republican candi-
date for President, was, as we learn from
the New YurkaWCrtd, one of the original
pillars of Know-Nothingism and the
chaplain of a, dark-lantern lodge at
Cincinnati. Carl Schurz ought to get a
COED price for urging him upon the
Germans as proper person to place at
the head of the Uuited States Govern
ment.
In 1874 Hayes inherited one hundred
thousand dollars from his uncle. The
next year he returned five thousand dol
lars for taxation. Henow excuses him
self by saying thatshis debts equaled his
property and Inheritance and that he
was entitled to deduct these debts when
listing his property. What kind of a
life has AIR. Hayes been leading that he
should have squandered ninety five thou
sand dollars OF his fortune while waiting
for his uncle to die? .. :
PEORIA National Democrat: The st.
Louis GLObe-Denuocrdt says that if the
Democrats get into power the Southern
war claims will be paid. 1t gives 8
catalogue of claims filed at the last
Congress, each of which "wants pay
for" etc. The trouble of this argument
is that people often want many unreason
able things which they can't get. Fol
instance, there is the editor of the
Globe Democrat, he wants to get out o.
Jail, but he is compelled to stay there
still.
