Are they not a precious set of re-

has been pursuing the whisky thieves,
New, Wilson, laryan,s Jewel, Pratt
aud iik ke men who showed sympathy
with Bristow in the great work he

he would be surrounded by the same

retains in power. The talk about the
Radical party reforming itself is mere
bosh.

The Wdchter am Erie, an influen-
tial German paper which has come out
for Tilden and Hendricks, in a recent
issue publishes a call for the forma-
tiOn of Tilden Club, which is signed
by Four HUNDRED AND Forty FoUR
influential German American citizens,
only fOrty-seven of whom have here
tofore voted and acted with the Dem
ocratic party. Lists are still in circu-
latiOn and the names of many more
are being added and will be published.
The German citizens are weary of the
party that fosters monopolies and
special privileges, and -winks at the
peculation, frauds and robberies that
are SO openly and boldly perpetrated
in the name of loyalty and patriotism,
and are bound to do what lays in their
power to bring about a reform in ad-
ministration by supporting Samuel J.
Tilden for President. Push on that
column.

The pledge of Hayes in his letter of
acceptance, eff elected not to bc a
candidate for second term," appears
to be exceedingly gratifying to the
Radical mind. But Mr.. Hayes histo-
ry is not altogether assuring upon
this subject. In 1872 he was nomi-
mated for Congress in the Second
Ohio District, after he had solemnly
promised he would not be candidate
and thereby induced a Mr.. Dayis to
run. In 1875 he sOlemnly promised
not to be candidate for Governor
against Judge Taft. Yet he accepted
the nomination with alacrity. So,
you sec, you can't entirely rely upon
these fair promises.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-07-20

The Radicals claim that by the
election of Hayes they intend to bring
about reform in the administration OF
the government. But that noble army
of office-holders, numbering $1,000
strong, including the ring rascals and
plundcrers, who support Hayes and
Wheeler, think and know that these
promises are only IA huge joke. Does
any one believe that Hayes, if elected
would remove that multitude of vam-
pires who have been SO long fattening
at the public crib? Who does not
know that if he were to declare any
such intention his hopes of success
would vanish in twinkling?

TIE Republicans claim to be in
favor of reform in the administration
of the government. They promised
that eight years ago and have contin-
ued to repeat the promise at every
election from that time to the present.
Are not eight years long enough in
which to redeem their promises, or, 1T
least, to give some evidence that they
intended to keep faith with the peo-
pIe? What guarantee does Governor
Hayes give that he will be any more
faithful to these pledges of reform
than Grant and his band OF plunder-
ers, whose administration he and they
unreservediy endorse? Shall the
treachery of the party that has made
these promises TO the ear only to be
broken to the hope, be rewarded by
its continuance in powerf

THE Radical leaders are especially
pleased with that part of Hayes letter
relating to the school question. This
whole subject is introduced into the
political contest for the purpose of
catching votes. The great concern
manifested by Hayes and his follow
ers in the schools is purely hypocrit-
ical and without the least reason.
Nearly all the State constitutions al
ready prohibit the use of the school
funds for sectarsan purposes. The
object of these desperate political
tricksters is to excite religious preju-
dices, to array seetarian bigotry, and
to revive the worst features of the old
Know Nothing prescriptions of 1855
that they may secure the necessary
votes to Perpetuate the power of the
plunderers. The control of the pub
lie schools belongs exclusively to the
States and should never be dragged
into politics. The people of Ohio
are justly proud of their school sys-
tenn. 1t is well adapted 10 their wants,
and it is safer in their hands than il
would be in the hands Of the Federal
Government. Let the people of Ohio
frOwn upon any attempt to deprive
them of the control of their own
school system which they have built
up and which ia SO admirably adapted
TO their wants. That system cannot
be improved by trusting 1t to the
hands of the Federal authorities.

The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-07-20

The Cleveland Herald and other
Radical papers are laboring very ear
nestly to create the impression that
Grant and the Republican party are
not in accord, and that the party and
its candidates are. not responsible tor
the acts of the Administration. They
seem TO forget that the Republican
National Convention fully and with
out reserve endorsed the administra-
ton of Grant, and declared that it
merits commentator for tits honora-
BILE work in its management of our
foreign and domestic affairs" and
Hayes unreservedly endorses the plat
form in every particular. There is
not an act of Grants administration
which is condemned by either the
platform or the candidate, and it is
nonsensical for the organs of the par
ty to try to get rid of the responsible
ity.

THE fact that Zach. Chandler has

furnish any very strong assurance that
that party means reform.
GRANT hasn't given Bristow, Jewell,

ZACH CHANDLER was Hayes own
choice for chief manager of the Re-
publican campaign of this year, The
choice gives the lie to all of Hayes
professions in favor of civil service
reform and shows that Hayes relies
upon Grants help tor attainingGrant's
.'present position. n."-DiSpatch.
The Republicans find a crumb OF
comfort in the fact that Harrison, Of
Hamilton County, Ohio, beat Van
Buren,, of Columbia County, New
York, and that Hayes is a native OF
the former and Tilden of the latter
county. But two cannon balls never
go through the same hole, nor does
lightning eyer strike twice in exactly
the same spot.
IT was very modest in Grant to
send TO the Senate the name of his son,
Fred, ID. to be promoted from the
Second Lieutenancy to the First over
the heads of thirty-eight senior officers
Still Radicalism can see nothing to
condemn in the action of Ulysses.
WHEN Grant releases revenue
swindlers from prison, and dismisses
from office the men who were the
means of cOnvicting these revenue
swindlers it does not look as though
he were the honest upholdcr of the
laws and the faithful guardian of the
Treasury.-Sun-
