Schurz's Partner Goes for Him

Joseph Pu'it'zsr, next to Carl Schurz
the ablest German leader in the Union.
and lately the partner and editor Of Mr.
Schurz.s st. Louis German paper, has
had published a seathing review Of the
course of Carl Schurz. He says:
The amazing attitude Of NJ. Schurz
Is simply tbs. He does not pretend to
be a Republican. For the last six years
he has made himself conspicuous by his
demands for reform for the last six
years he was engaged in destroying the
Republican party to build upon its ruins
new pa'ry.; for the last six years he
made himself prominent by his savage
criticism of the rottenness Of the present
administration and al its leading sun.
porters. In the May conference Of "R-
formers at the Fifth Avenue Hotel ",
Schurz protested against the nomina-
tion Of any man in Cincinnati whose
record as reformer was not above all
doubt.
"Schurz supports Hayes. Mr.. Hayes
is but the figure head put up by Conk-
ling, Cameron, Morton & Co., to secure
continuation Of their own power.
They certainly nominated him; thry
have the undIsputed leadership of the
party they have the absolute conduct of
the campaill they move heaven and
earth to elect him 80 he is elected it
will be mainly through Me;r efforts. He
is now under the greatest obligation to
them for his nomination he would then
be under 81 greater obligation for his
election. Mr.. Schurz praises the hon-
esty, the scruoulous honesty, of Mr..
Hayes. How t1en can he hesitate
single second to recognize these obliga-
tlons? How, as an honest man, hesitate
to pay them off ? But this is not all.
Mr.. Hayes, if elected, will find in Cam
eron, Conkling and Morton not only the
absolute masters of / g party but also
the leaders of the majority in the Sen
ate, without whose consent he cannot
even form his Cabinet, can make no ap-
pointments, cal4y no measures-iu fact
no administration at all.
81 know from the most careful count
that nearly two hundred German news
papers, or ouer tlro-th;ras of all in num-
ber and nine-tenUs in real circulation
and influence, are to-day supporting not
the candidate OF Mr.. Schurz, but Tilden
and Hendricks. The great majority of
the Germans of the Union no longer
stand behind, but they stand against
Mr.. Schurz, Of all the able representa-
tive Germans, MIR. Schurz is almost the

tween Mr.. Sehurz and the ''machine'
politicians win be fruitless so far as the
GermP rs are concerned. They love the
country of their adoption too much to
wish continuation of the present era
of shame and disgrace.

the" good instincts lead them to expect
the vital changes so sorely needed for
the national honor. Not from Mr..
Hayes, who means the statu quo but from
the man who stands to-day as the fore
most practical reformer of the Republic
who, regardless of party, has purified
the most corrupt government of the first
city Of the Western world and the fist
State of the Union, and utterly anrihi-
lated the most gigantic organization for
