BELIEVE me, speak the words of sober
ness and truth, when tell you that this day
the chief danger to this people lies not in
democratic success, not in Republican de-
feat, but in the criminal neglect of their per
sonal political duty by the educated and
good. Educated brain and intelligent vir-
tue always rule among men when they will.
When they do not, it is simply because they
are too cowardly or too INDECENT To admit
anything else, is to deny the very founda-
tons on which all popular governments rest.

The maxim, Set thief to catch thief"
may be occasionally applicable in the APP
pointment of police detectives. II is not
applicable TO the election Of President Of
the United States. Indeed, the fact that
the democratic party has for its candidate a
man who is arraigned by railroad com
pany on charges of fraud and who is now
alnenable TO proceedings for the recovery Of
arrears Of taxes due 10 the government, is a
to the cheek Of every honest American. So
says the New York Times.

Governor Hayes Force Of Character.

Judge Stanley Matthews, one Of the ablest
and purest men in the country, having con
scented to accept the Republican nomination
for Congress in the Second Ohio district
speaks thus from his personal knowledge Of
the high character aud qualities Of General
Hayes Zone Of the strong reasons which
have impelled me to consent to the candi.
dacy which have been asked 10 accept was
feeling Of personal friendship for the ex-
cellent and distinguished man, son of
Ohio, who has received the honor Of the
nomination Of the Republican party OF the
United States for President. And allude
to the matter this evening as it is the first
occasion which has presented itself to me
for speaking in public on the subject | do
it now in order to record my protest against
what have seen emanating from the lips Of
friends Of mine friends Of his but poiti-
cally opposed to him-which | think are
contradictory to his true character as a man
and a statesman. alude TO the idea which
has been promulgated by some public speak
ers that Governor Hayes has not the force of
character which ought to be found in a
President Of the United States, pledged as
he is, by the platform OF his party aud his
own inimitable and admirable letter of ac-
ceptance 10 institute thorough reform in
the administration of the government and
that he has not the ability to stand up
against the temptations Of Office that will be
brought to bear upon him to seduce him
from the right path.
"Now, | have known Governor Hayes from
the time we were both boys together at col.
ege, and the thing which then attracted
my attention TO him first, and induced me
to cultivate his friendship, was an exhibit
ton, under peculiar circumstances, of that
very force Of character which is now denied
him-the ability to stand up in the face of
the college Students against the whole of
them, and do and say that which he believed
to be right 1t is said, The boy is father
to the man. and this distinguishing trait of
character has developed itself in him in my
judgment. There is no situation in which
he has ever been placed in life in which he
has not acquitted himself nobly.
lie is not a man without experience he
has been in various situations of trust and
honor in civil and military life, where he
has been required to take serious and grave
responsibilities, aud he has never been found
wanting Quiet, modest and unassuming
he has never undertaken to blow his own
trumpet or pull wires in honor of his owl
nomination, but has always been founC
faithful in the discharge of his entire duty
according to his own personal convictions
of what was right. Governor Hayes re
ceived the nomination of the Republican
convention under the best impulses of tn,
party in favor of legitimate and rightful gov
eminent; and was selected because the mer
who were earnest in favor of the principles
VIII ch were announced in that convention
belle, 4 him TO be a fit and fair representa-
tive Of their purposes. No person can poin
to single instance in which he has eve
been tried and failed in any time of trial

Mn. HAYES will be fifty-four years old

PRovEs Too MucH.--When It is remem-
bered how bitterly the democrats opposed
the amendments TO the federal constitution,
it is amusing to see the democratic press
quote those very amendments TO show that
the democracy cannot pay the long list of
Southern claims, in case Tilden should be
elected. The people will remember that
where there is will there is way, and
they will see TO it that the democrats never
have the opportunity 10 pay those claims.
