aud schemes by which the people
have been 80 shamelessly robbed
aud plundered, and 10y forcing mp
on the managers of the disreputa-
ble rings the conviction that great
care is necessary in the transaction
Of their nefanous business, as eyes
quick to detect, aud a hand swift
to punish, are following them
through all the tortuous wiudings
Of their path. The nation looks
to him as the avenger Of its wrongs
and he will not disappoint. His
past acts prove that he knows what
is necessary to reform of the
abuses under which the country
groans and is Impoverished, and
that he will boldly and fearlessly
hurl his columns upon the army OF
evil doors, and drive them from the
field. Not, like Grant, will he at
tempt to cover and shield from
punishment the thieves and robbers,
aud not, like him, will he share the
proceeds Of their dishonesty
But. as he has been doing during
tho past two years at Albany, he
will pursue, with unrelenting Sc
verify, every pcculater, to what
ever party he may belong and will
thoroughly and efficiently reform
every branch of administration OF
which he is the head.
The Republican party has dis
graced itself before the people
whose affairs they undertook TO
manage, and in the eye of the civil
lied world. Again and again have
the people shown their willingness
to overlook past faults and errors,
and again and again have they been
betrayed and deceived. The vii
lainies have now assumed such
alarming proportions, and the
promises of amendment have been
so repeatedly broken, that faith
can no longer be kept alive. Yet
this party comes before us again,
and coolly promises rs reform
This very promise is sufficient for
its condemnation, for, having held
the reins of government so long,
there is nothing to reform but
abuses which it has created. The
corruptions which are its own crea-
ton it then proposes to correct.
Aud how does it propose to do it!
With insolence almost supreme, its
leaders tell us that they will amend
their ways by keeping in office the
very scoundrels who have nurtured
and sustained the mal-praclices
against whose existence the coun'
try is protesting. The platform
which was adopted at Cincinnati
does nothing, if it does not bint
the Republicans to a continuance
of the courses which have brough
the country into discredit, and It
the verge of ruin. The election o
Governor Hayes would be the tri
umph of proven and convicte'
perjury and corruption; it woul'
be confering upon the leaders c
the party q license to continu
their immoral and prohigfto cor
duct, with full immunity from til
danger of injurious consequence
The victory Of the Democrats VIII
by placing such a man as Tide
in control of the government, Ell
sure the reassertion of purity an
honesty, which alone are compat
bic with American institutions, an
compatible with governmer
based on universal suffrage.

Barn and Horses Esurnel

On Sunday night last Wan. Graffen-
stein, whose place is twelve miles
southwest of Emporia, had the mis-
fortune TO have his large barn destroy
ed by fire, seven head of horses, ten
sets of harness, four saddles and lot
of hay, rye and farm Implements
were burned. Three other horses were
somewhat damaged. Mr.. G., rs is his
custom, had gone the grand rounds
for the night to see that everything
was safe. This was just before ten
o'clock. Ia half an hour afterwards,
he heard his dogs barking, and on
looking out discovered his barn in
flames. He and his men rushed out,
and were just in time to save portion
of his horses in another part of the
building. THIS he did at the risk Of
his life. Mr.. GIaffensLein tells us he
had witnessed some tough sights, had
been through several battles, etc, but
he never saw or heard anything so pit
lful as the groans and frantic move
msnts of those seven horses, surround
ed by the flames. 1t made an i'm
preston upon him which will never
be erased from his memory. Close by
the burning barn were his sheep sheds
in which $500 sheep were housed.
They were covered with straw, and
had it not been a quiet night would
have undou btedly been destroyed. By
carrying water and wettiRg the straw
they saved the sheds, and no injury
resulted to the sheep. The barn it
self was fully Insured in the Hsme,
of N. Y. His loss in horses, harness
and other articles was about $500.
Mr.. Graffsnstein believes the fire was
the work OF an incendiary. A lot of
tangled fence wire had been dragged
from some distance and was laid
across the path leading from the house
to the barn. Over this the men fell as
they ran to the barn. This would
seem to be sufficient to establish Mr..
Cts theory that the barn was set on
fire. There had been no fire about
the barn in any shape.

''Fairplay's'' cheeky idea that any Of
our patrons advertise from compuision,
looks very absurd to US. We have a tip
top patronage, and it all comes to us free
ly. We wouldn't if we could. force any
one to deal with US who did not want to.
Not bit OF it. We have the circulation
that "Fairplay" advises us to get, and we
offer our columns as worth every cant Of
our rates. The people take newspapers,
and read them, and it pays to advertise
in them, and in q certain sense 1t Is
public duty for business men to adVer-
tise, whether they see it or not. This may
be offering unasked advice, but we gener-
ally get about 16 times more advice than
we undertake to give, so we ought to give
a little sometimes. Besides, the freedom
OF the press is the bulwark of liberty,
as we'll as an occasional source of irrita-
ton, and the motto on our flag is "No
bulldozing," and long may it wave, over
the land OF the free, and the home of the
brave. This last sentence Is not entirely
original, but the best advice we can give
to anybody this week is to buy your
Christmas presents IN the stores that ad-
vertise, for they are the best, cheapest
and the most reliable, as a general rule
and no mistake about it.
