on his way from st. Louis, gives inter
esting information derived from the
Hon. Alexander Mitchell, OF Milwaukee.
He had heard that gentleman say that
that State would cast her electoral vote
for Tilden and Reform, and that a bet
had been made on such result. Il tell
you, man." said Mr.. Mitchell, that Is
good bet. The Gernans Of Wisconsin
and the Germans everywhere are tired
OF the abuses, peculations and wrongs
that exist In the public service. They
want reform; they are determined to
have it." This gentleman was still In
credulous. II tell .you," said Mr..
consin will vote for Tilden. The bet you
speak Of is good bet.
Mr.. Alexander Mitchell Is one OF the
first men in Wisconsin and all the
Northwest, a man OF caution, prudence,
sound Judgment, perfect integrity, who
enjoys more OF the confidence OF the
business people in Wisconsin than per-
haps any other citizen In that State.
He Is prince among the men OF busi-
ness. a leader among the whole people,
and everybody's adviser, who has done
a great deal to develop growth and pros
perity in the Northwest, who holds
great sway, not only in all business
transactions but over public opinions.
Nobody knows the people better, and
no mans Judgment is better to be. re-
lied upon. His opinion is confirmed by
the following account of a conversation
with Col. +. A. Calkins, Of the Milwau
kee Nelcs, which appears in one OF the
Western papers:
R.-How are the Wisconsin Germans?
C.-All for Tilden. They do not un-
derstand why all the dishonest men are
opposing Tilden. They do not say that
all anti -Tilden men are rascals, but they
say that all the rascals are anti-Tilden.
Not scoundrel in the Penitentiary, or
out of it and on his way there, can be
found without his being at once recog-
nized as anti-Tilden.
R.-And as to Wisconsin?
C.-That is the only State northwest
Of the Ohio river, with the possible ex-
ception Of Indiana, that will go Demo-
cratic next fall. We can carry WiscOn,
sin for Tilden on no platform except his
simple record as the only man IN the
Democratic party who has had the OPP
portunity, and has used it, to take the
villainous rings by the throat and choke
\ them to death.

and as IL was well understood that he
was the heir Of his bachelor uncle,
Sardis Berchard, well-known banker
and merchant OF the town. young Hayes
was considered good catch by mothers

daughters. In lsi0 or 1850 young Hayes
visited his mother at his birthplace,

Around this spring seats have been ar

Ing this II II most popular spot
Young Hayes, in company with other
young men, used TO go to this spring In
the evening, generally choosing their
Time When the University girls came
there also. Among the bevy OF young
ladies was one IN particular who attract
ed Gov. Hayes attention. She was
sparkling, bright and witty, and the
park always rang with the echo Of her
merry laughter when she came TO the
spring. This young lady was remark
able for her long, flowing black hair,
dark eyebrows, pearly white teeth and
beautiful eyes, and was famous for her
laughter, ard Of course was leader
among the girls OF her school. Before
knowing her name, the young lawyer
fell In love with her. and he made up
his mind that the gay. laughing girl he
met Mt the college spring evening after
evening was the one no was looking Tor
as his wife and future companion In life,
and so he opened his heart TO his uncle
and mother.
In the course of time the lawyer and
lady were introduced, and she turned
out TO be Miss Webb, of Chiilicothe,
Ohio, "a descendant OF most excellent
family. The love engendered at the
spring ripened into true and honest
affection, which was fully reciprocated
by the lady, who in due course OF time,
became Mrs. Hayes. It was a true love
match. and happy union IL has proved.
Mrs. Hayes has done much towards
making Gov. Hayes popular She IL

Word That letter.


" The letter Of acceptance must avoid
approval or condemnation OF Grant i
Administration. and ought To be very
brief" Such was the Injunction which
four Ohio Republican Congressman sent
by telegraph the other day To Mr.. Hayes,
the Cincinnati candidate for President
Why did they think IL necessary to send
this gratuitous warning To their nomi'
nee They certainly could not have
been afraid that he would attack or con-
demn Grantism In his letter OF accept
ance. He has never at any time said
anything against IL. He has consistent
ly refrained from expressing his disap-
proval OF any OF Its features. Ho must
have seen its wastefulness. It's corrupt
fulness. Its rottenness. He must have
known that 1t has been engendering
widespread evils. and that IL would
prove ruinous To the country II not
brought TO an end. But he has naver
raised his voice against II, ms patriot
ought to have done. He has kept quiet
as mouse about IL. He doubtless
knew that any attack upon IL would In
jure his party standing. put him In OPP
position 10 the party leaders, and
upset his prospects for political pro-
motion.
We repeat. then. that tho telegraph
dispatch was not sent to Mr.. Hayes Az "a
warning against introducing an on
slanght upon Grantism into his letter Of
acceptance. .
The object OF II Ia clear enough TO
those who understand the proclivities OF
the Cincinnati candidate 1t was TO
restrain him from proclaimlng his ap-
provni OF Grantism. The senders Of
the dispatch were aware Of the danger
OF his doing that He has often done It,
He would be likely 10 feel the obliga-
tion to do IL again on this occasion. He
was nominated by the adhercnts OF
Grant. He Ia supported by the leaders
Of Grantism. He stands In the especial
need OF tie assistance Of Grant himeelf.
What more natural, then, considering
his antecedents, his situation and his
character, than that he should seize the
opportunity of once more indorsing
Grantism In his letter OF acceptance
Why did the dispatch sent to him by
the Ohio Republican Congressmen urge
him to ''avoid approval" Of Grantism ?
Have these Congressman themselves
avoided approval or IL Have they dealt
with II as honest and true men ought to
have done? Or have they not rather
stood up as champions OF the very thing
which now alarms them !
Why are they alarmed about Grant
ism In these election times They are
alarmed because they know that the
people have been aroused to u sense OF
It's enormity and are determined TO put
an end to 1t.
Mr.. Hayes. therefore, In getting up his
letter OF acceptance, must be careful to
heed the injunction, and to 'avoid APP
proval or condemnation" OF Grantism.
1t Ia rather hard on him, no doubt; and
II, In avoiding approval, he should offend
Grant and the rings OF Grantism, he had
better never have been put up as the
nominee Of the Grant party.

the meeting Gen. Hancock was ser
enaded.
There is much feeling and excitement
here. caused by the news OF the slaught-
er OF Gen. Custer and his command.
The Administration Is held responsible
and denounced Tor keeping troops In
Louisiana and Mississippi whom they
are wanted on the frontier. Sheridan,
Sherman and Grant were all froiicking
while Custer and his command were
being butchered by the Indians. The
Indignation is 80 great that Sheridan
will be forced to take command In the
war against the Indians. The RAIDS will
