GOVERNOR HAYES arEnJrRr.'
The following dispatch appeared In .
Democratic contemporary laas evening

Ths Ts~ss correspondent q Toledo tele-
rSphs thai be has examined the records
where Governor Hayes assessments VI
taxable property are entered. and nnds he
has undsrrated his income and estates In
every cAse. and hAs mover paid more than
the smallest part of the tAx which his AM
pie fortune calls for.
lis not surprising that Democratic
journals. in view Of the terrible charge
Of perjury preferred againstsam Tldsn.
and proven by his own confession in
open court. should seek to fAstsn .
imilar charge ON Governor Hayes. They
know that Tildsn cannot b cleared. and

dsavor TO place the Republican candi-
date In the same criminal boat. We NJ

prised that years Of bitter experience

sense still charaotsrizes the American
people. and that FLANDERS Of this kind.

time has gone when vague charges Of
Democratic stump speakers or Demo
cratic pspsn are accepted - gospel

The accusation made In the dispatch
quoted above would require not the
slishtsst notice. had not Q charge Of
perjury bssn made against Tilden by
Republican journals. and fastened upon
him By his own sworn statements. That
charge he has NOT denied. for the simple
reason. that, shiswd . tiekstsr a. he

sworn statement OF Tiiden himself :
His oath was accepted ~ anal. o. IL was
bound TO be-: and had he not In 1915
taken another oath directly ~impssehing
the former one. he would not to-day be
branded N . perjursr. Gov. Hayes has
done nothing OF this kind. He has never
sontrsdie,ed any oath which he has
taken in regard to his taxable property.
The records are there. open to anyone.
even to q Chicago Times reporter. They
are sworn to by Gov. Hayes and ap-

Tho question o: taxation Is one between
the Assessor and the person taxed. and
they alone know whether the valuation
