Comments on Gov. Hayes Letter Of
Acceptance.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem

In the third place Hayes stands by his
"record" on the currency question, and
commits himself again to the enforcement
of the laws-including the resumption
act OF January, lS75-relating to this
subject. His record" on this question
is that of man who announced the
forced resumption act as "the fixed pol
icy of the republican party" and who
declared that he was in favor of forced
resumption on the first day of January,
1879, or earlier. This he has publicly
proclaimed, and he now asks the people
of the country to vote for him, saying
upon the currency question; 81 have
freqaently expressed my views in public
and stand by record on this subject"
Mr.. Hayes has made his own platform,
and he will be judged by it. Nominated
by the friends of Grant, indorsing the
platform praising Grants administration,
out-Heroding the republican platform in
his heartless currency policy, promising
an inhexible one man power in the max
ing of appointments, he offers the people
Of the country no hope save in his prom
ise not to accept second term, and the
people of Ohio know how worthless that
promise is.

A Mean Advantage.

There were a score or more of women
gathered together at Mr.. johnson.
house. Mr.. johnson is good hearted
man and respectable citizen, though
he is rather skeptical about some things.
The women had just organized "The
Foreign Benevolent Society" when Mr..
johnson entered the room. He was at
once appealed to donate a few dollars as
foundation to work on, and Mrs. Gra-
ham added:
1T would be so pleasant in after
years for you TO remember that you
gave this society its first dollar and its
first kind word"
He slowly opened'hi wallet, drew out
ten dollar BILL and as the ladies smack
ed their lips and clapped their hands, he
asked
Is this society organized to aid the
poor of foreign countries F"
Yes-yes-yes !" they chorused.
And it wants money!"
Ges-yes !"
Well, now" said johnson. as he
folded the bill in a tempting shape,
there are twenty married women here.
IL there are fifteen of you who eau make
oath that you have eombed your chill
dren's hair this morning, washed the
dishes, blacked the cook stove, and made
the beds, I'll donate this ten dollars"
have" answered two of the crowd,
and the rest said:
Why, now, Mr.. Johnson"
If fifteen of you can make oath that
yeur husbands are not wearing socks
with holes in the heels, this money is
yours" continued the wretch.
Just hear him ~ they exclaimed
each one looking at the other.
II ten of you have boys without
holes in the knees of their pants, this
X goes TO the society !" said johnson.
Such man ~ they whispered.
" Ii there are five pair Of stockings in
this room that don't need darning I'll
hand over the money !" he went on.
Mr.. Johnson" said Mrs. Graham,
with great dignity, "the rules of this
society declare that no money shall lie
contributed except by members; and as
You are not a member l beg that you
will withdraw and let us proceed with
the routine business."

Now and then, under rush of some
thing else than reason to the head, sun
dry writers, with access to Newspapers,
tell the republican party that it must
repudiate, renounce and utterly discard
President Grant, or it will be defeated.
A man with sense enough to keep his
clothes on knows that the president is
the head of the party which elected him
and that it is responsible for all his polit

WHICH SHALL TAKE:

This is often serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores OF vhich are
recommended as certain cures for his pecu-
li.r ailment. He reads the papers, circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausihle arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. Inc
cures claimed TO have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his petplexity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led To
reject all. But il should be borne IL mind
that this condition of things is one that can

From the n. Y. Granhic.

A poor old man whore hairs were white
Came tottering 10 the ferry;
The shores were green, the waters bright
The sails and steamers merry.
Not far away the spires arose
Where all his Childhood tarricd-
lie saw them meath the melted SHOWS
That his old head yet carried.
Llizahcthan spires were they,
ry old sss.ristions
His learned fathers In their day,
Ere yet arose the nstion,
Their honored ministrations made
Where yonder bells were toling
And trembling down the streets Of shade,
His orphan years consoling.
He heard them ring the loud 40 armsr
And fs4t the dear confusion.
When at the hattles first Alarms
He Joined the revolution.
From rank 10 rank his course was high,
TIL at the proudest station
lie heard below the echoes die
The plaudits Of the nation.
Then stung 10 su austere despair
by one in fame no prouder,.
They met in fury's deadly glare
And by the fash of powder,
The one In bloody laurels fell,
Aud lonely lived the other,
Around hi, path the hate II hell,
The spccter for his brother.
Nor sire nor mother had he known,
And she he nurturcd persisted
lie walked the earth observed, alone
BY beast and man uncherished
The children pelted him with stone,
His hand the w.rld refused,
But never would his features own
His stole heart WAS bruised,
OF all his great career deceived,
He grew, In turn, deceiver
OF time aud fortune upreprieved
And cold the generous fever.
The gray unsccial rat beside
His lean old age was merry,
As gazing on the rapid tide,
He tottered DER the ferry.
Then csmbering up the island shores
A little inn he entered
The ,ower, resting on his oars,
With gaze on him conceniered
Their looks the walters shuddering cast,
The host no welcome uttered;
He felt their scorn 10 be the last,
And nothing moaned nor muttered.
Then came priest his soul TO sue,
Aud rustic squire with paper.
Ger eighty years hls memory threw
Light like a diving fhpor,
And wandering wits and lowly means
Showed deaths assured colueiting,
And this poor little wreck Of zones
Its brilliant past forgetting.
The hand that, ,hell the pistol firm
In murders cool int niion
BOW traced its name iimp rs q wo,m,

And lifted up, oath TO aver,
And whispers scarcely oral,

A PoLiTICAL BREEzE.-The man

Representatives, has beer guilty Of 4
blunder in this respect. a letter ap.

could hardly have produced more SEN
sation in TIE Democratic camp; not
because Mr.. Hendricks is by any
