CUNNING FOR scHURz.

The Chandler Organ Tells Him 10
Stop Talking Reform or Retire.
From the National Republican, 18th, regu'
organ.
Is it not remarkable that the first
tremor or doubt of Republican success in
Ohio and Indiana to come to us from any
politician of sufficient prominence TO dc.
serve consideration should reach us-pri-
vatelv, of course-irom Carl Schurz:
This man has declared his Republican
allegiance, and his talents have been en-
gagged for no purpose but to spread Re
publican truths. If we are to have
prophets OF disaster, his lips should by all
means remain closed. .r
From the National Republican, 18th, .regu-
lar organ.
Some controversy and accompanying
wild statements have been provoked by
the public announcement that Carl
Schurz has informed his personal friends
that the chances of Republican success in
Ohio and Indiana are precarious. To
! put these controversies at rest we rise to
explain that Mr.. Schurz, to the best OF
our information, did write letter to an
intimate friend, in which the prediction
referred TO was most unequivocally pro-
nounced. In explanation of this, it Is as
serted that his speeches in the campaign
thus far have been addressed to the sub
! iect of civil service reform, and that their
groundwork has been q baseless assault
upon the administration of President
Grant. In the opinion OF competent
party authority, speeches OF this kind are
not calculated to advance the Interests OF
the common cause, and, it is rumored, Mr..
SchurZ WAS advised TO mend his ways.
Hence these tears.
Washington Special 10 New York Herald
WASHINGTON, September II, 1876
/ The charge having been made that Carl
Schurz has written letters to members OF
his family and intimate friends asserting
that the Democracy will carry Ohio and
Indiana, it is asserted that he has been
requested to change the tone or tenor OF
his speeches or withdraw from the can
vass. This request is based upon the al
legged fact, that in his speeches he has as
sailed President Grants administration,
making a reform in the civil seivice a
basis of those assaults. The whole mat
ter has created considerable excitement
here, initiated by short leader in the ad-
ministratiOn organ.
What Schurz Said I'm Chicago.
Chicago Times, September IL.
Though Mr.. SchurZ denies the direct
ut.erance of the opinion that Hayes viii
certainly lose iOhio in October, there is
indubitable evidence that Mr.. SchurZ SO
expressed himself in this city. He said
in effect that only sense of personal
loyalty compelled HIM to remain in the
canvass, rs ne saw that the lead of Grant
ism was defeating Hayes before the cam
paign lad fairly begun. This Mr.. Schurz
may not have written, as the report al
leges, but if he gave ii utterance so read
lily as he did in this city. may he not have
indicated it in a letter. The RepubSi-
can, Grants scullion organ in Washing
ton, declares positively that the letter has
been seen in Washington, and from drop
pings we have heard from Mr. SchLrZ
we are inclined to believe that the denial
procured by the agent of the Associated
Press IN this city Is not genuine, or, II
genuine, is such bubble rs does not he
come the reputation OF Il man ike Carl
SchurZ. 1t is due to himself that he cx-
plain these curious contradictions.
