Such links OF reform as connected the
Treasury with Bristow's regime, are to
be Topped off by the indignant hand of
Grant He don't want any reform in
his neighborhood, and the friends Of
Bristow are to 60.
2 Judge TAFT is not resigning man -
He prefers humiliation to independence,
and, like his colleagues, is willing to be
a clerk to Grant, rather than free citi-
zen who can look in the glass and not
feel ashamed of himself.-N. 7. Sun.
Every Convention held by Republi
cans has endorsed Grant and his Admin,
istration, and Grant and his supporters
endorse Hayes, thus proving that Hayes
election would be q continuation Of the
Grant system of nepotism and plunder-
ing The same machinery will turn out
the same kind of goods.
F More than year ago Boss Shepherd
contemptuously described Postmaster
General Jewell as s.that little bob-tailed
clam Yankee" Grant has all the time
sympathized with Shepherd, but il has
taken him good while to 50 fix things
that he could compel the "bob-tailed
clam to pack up and start for Connect
icut.-N. z. Sun.
Bristow undertook to expel the thieves
from tiie Treasury Department, and Jew.
ell tried to drive out the highway robbers
from the Postoffice Department Now
where are they2 They have been re-
duce,l to the ranks, and sent to Kentucky
and Connecticut in disgrace. Hayes is
in perfect accord with Grant in these
acts Pittsburgh Post.
AT the opening of the third week ol
the campaign the advantages are deci.
dedly in favor of the Democrats. The
Republicans are dissatisfied and dispiri.
ted, and it is easy to see that If the pres
ent week shall bring no Improvement in
their condition, they will be almost as
good as defeated.-N Louis Repub u
can, Ind. Dem
The thing for Gov. T.lden to do, ac-
cording to Brother Bowles, sis to say
the same things in fewer and stronger
words, il he can, and then throw his heft
on the folly Of ihtrusting the task OF
working out these reforms to o party
which, after all that has happened, still
formally indorses the Grant Admins
tration and talks about the immense SER
vices in the civilian line Of its head. "A
remark or two on the resistance Of the
Senate to retrenchment might not be
amiss.' saA ~ ! ,..ea.esr..
OF Mr.. Tilden's speech of acceptance
the New York Tribune says: "He gave
bis opponents no chance for an advan.
tage He will be equally careful and
shrewd in the preparation OF his lettel
Of acceptance, and whoever is looking
for the exposure of weak or assailablt
point in that document will be disap
pointed. The opposition may as vel
understand first as last that they have t.
deal With politician of remarkable
shrewdness, whom it will not be easy te

Jewell is turned out as soon as tn
President could get around to the Post
Office Department, his offense being 81
unobtrusive sympathy with Bristow.-
| Meantime the United States District AT
torney at Chicago has dismissed the CO
ses against the Whisky Ring in tina
city, ia accordance with orders from
Washington; and Zach Chandler, uude
whose advice as the most congenial ant
the most trusted member Of the Cabine
| it may be supposed that these changes
were made, is chosen to manage tn,
Hayes campaign as Chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Committee!
