AhOut the Nomination

We call the ticket OF Hayes and Wheeler
an admirable one. Like the platform, it
represents the very heart and spirit and
splendid antecedents of the Republican party.
-Neoo York Commercial AduertiSer.
Ex-President Woolsey says: 81 like Hayes's
hard-money views, and have a general trust
in him. He is outside of all rings and low
company. Wheeler has my decided conf
dence.
Looking at Gov. Hays from the point of
view of the public interest and from that of
party success, regarding him as fit man and
and as an available man, it must be admitted
that the convention did very nearly the best
it could do-perhaps, in the circumstances,
the very best.-Nelv York Post.
Ex-President Mark Hopkins of Williams
town says: Personally, L think Hayes's nom-
ination as excellent a one as Mr.. Bristow's
would have been. Politically. it is more har-
monious. Morally, it is less complete vic
tory for reform; but, with all the antecedents
of the candidate in its favor, go for it."

How IL Feels TO he ScaIDed.

There arrived here on Friday evenings
Kansas Pacific train party of three persons,
direct from Deadwoed City, the new mining
town in the Black Hills. Learning that one of
the party, Heman Ganzio of Milwaukee, had
been shot and scalped by Indians, we took from
his lips the story of his experiences, as follows:

ley of Hut creek, on our way to Fort Laramie.

ing down a rayine to the right, saw fiv-
mounted Indians ride across the valley. l
started to go back to the train, when at least
dozen Indians ran at me out OF the brush, and
yeu bet ran and hollered for help. In a min
ute two or three of them shot at me. l fell
sharp, singing pain in my left leg and another
in my left shoulder, and l fell. Then they
were upon me in a minute, and one of them
put his knee in my back, while another hit me
a clip with a club or butt OF a gun. L don't
know which, as l had no time to think. All
L knew was L was being scalped; my hair
was held tight. felt a hot, red hot, stlnging
sort of pain all around the top of my head, as
if my hair was being tOrn out by the roots. 1t
was too much; l couldn't stand it. / died

Just as it was being torn Off The boys at the
wagons had seen me running; saw the Indians,
and came on thirteen of them, and got up lust in
time to prevent the red devils finishing their
work. The Indians, as we'll as my friends
thought was dead. But came to again, and
my scalp was laid back again. 1t was only half
torn OFT, as you will see, and is growing again
nicely" The poor fellow was taken to Fort

soon as he was able, started fer his parents home

IT is difficult to see what reason the Demo-
Gratis of the House judiciary committee have
for chuckling over the discovery that the
Caldwell despatch was suggested in this
country. 1t is a common thing enough for
one person to write out statement for an
other, but the signature of the latter makes
1t no less his document than if he had writ
ten every word of it himself unbeknown to
every one else. If the Caldwell telegram
was signed by him knowing its contents, it is
his despatch, no matter who may have sug-
gested it. And if its statements are true, it
is an acquittal of Mr.. Blaine by the man who
has the best opportunity of knowing all the
facts in the case. This ransacking of tele-
graph offices by the judiciary committee is
simply for the purpose of raising side ques-
ton, and binding the people as to the main
issue which is simply the truth or fasity of
CaldwelPs statement, and it is virtual con-
fession that the Democrats dare not touch
this issue.

THE decision of Judge Westbrook of the
New York Supreme Court in the case of
suit against two contractors to recover exces-
sive amounts paid to them on canal con.
tracts puts Gov. Tilden in rather uncomfort-
able position for a reformer. 1t finds that
whatever amount was paid was authorized by
former legislature and hence the people
have no claim to recover it back. Gov. Til
den was member of the legislature which
made the appropriation and though it was
just as evident then as now that it was exces-
sive he never raised one word of protest. He
was member of the New York ring then
and had not put himself in training for the
presidency.

whole, strong one before the country. 1t
does not come up to my ideas of the needs of
the times, but it will be satisfactory to me
personally If accompanied by the assurance
that the reform of the civil service placed in
the platform shall be faithfully executed
Gov. Hayes fits the picture drawn by
Union leagues and reform clubs. He is not
only what we have said of him, but he is also
a gentleman above Ieproach; a scholar of
broad and cultured views; perfect type,
physically, intellectually, morally, of the
American man. His nomination will inspire
that element of the party which wants a

Mr.. Hayes is all that pertains to the great
principles and policies of reform and intrench-
ment and integrity of administration. As
acceptable as Mr.. Bristow, less known to the
people. perhaps, he is widely known as a
man with a clear head, sound judgment, pat
rletic record, and, above all, clean hands, a
stranger to the lobby, and with no entan-
Cling business alliance with subsidy-seekeys
or gamblers in the national credit. For the
nomination OF a man so pure, publicly and
privately, and at the same time so identified
with the great reformatory politics that the
prevailing corruption has made so essential,
the convention will deserve and receive the
grateful thanks of the country. We have no
fears for the result of the election. The bat
tie was practically won at Cincinnati. 1t is

THE Boston Transcript is explaining the
opposition of Massachusetts to Mr.. Blaine on
the ground that he refused to speak in that
State during last falps campaign. This is a
rather humiliatipg confession, considering the
high moral grounds on which that opposition
was put before the nomination,
