nArrs AND TEE ALIIAscr

lean Alliance letter, written Gy the prt-
Tate Secretary Of Governor Hayes at
the dictstion Of the latter. The excite
ment eanscd by the publication Of the
fac smile still exists, aud the theme in
stead Of fading away Is becoming moro
and more interesting every day. The
letter Of acceptance Is discussed in tho
Republican papers or ON acknowledge
mcnt Of the receipt OF the set OF. rcsoIu-
tions. when IN reality it was a written
acceptance Of the honorary member
ship. He accepted the resolutions OH
tho 5th Of July, in the Continental
Hotel at PHILADELPHIA, when tho conf
mittee from the American Alliance Con-
Tention waited upon him. The letter
dated July 9th, was written 80 that he
might be officially recorded as mem
Der Of that body.
The Republican newspapers arc un-
fair in this, rs in NIL things appertain-
ing to politics.. They refuse to notice
the letters Of denial, and by TINT mems
are saved from showing their candidate
up as q linr. OF course it is not policy
for them to do this, but il there was
tho least bit of honesty left in the party,
that trait would force from them tho &C.
acknowledgement. Hayes directs his Sec
Rotary to say that he will give tho ALI.
ance all the cooperation deemed noces-
sary, and four days afterwards, says
through the samo medium, TINT he OK
pressed no sympathy with the orgnniza-
ton. 1t may DO true that he has no
sympathy with tho organization, but
then he lied in giving them to under
stand that no had. How cnn person
CO operate with body OF men if he
hns no sympathy with the movement?
When he said he expressed no SYM
pathy, he lied, aud when he said he
had no sympathy. no lied. The best
thing for him to do now is to "step
down and out, unless he wants to ex-
hibit himself rs linr, once more, for
he is recorded Us snying that he did not
care to be President. His alacrity in
denying would lend people to think
otherwise. The improbnbility of his
denials will mike tho citizens OF this
country think they don't care whether
he is or not. Tho Erenhg Post OF this
city published another letter from
Hayes, signed by Lee. yesterday, which
Endorsed principles directly opposite to
those advocated by tho American ALI
auce. Why it was done cnnnot imag-
Inc, because the Post is an Administra-
ton organ. The letter simply shows
this man to have expressed opinions to
suit the customer, bu. lie was uominat-
ed by Chandler and Cameron, so what
ME could ono expect?
ANOTHER LIE.
The business Of telling falsehoods is
eYid ,ntly not n new one to the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency.
How long it has been carried on no one
can tell. The first recorded fact Is the
List Of his personal tax. In April, 1875,

His income return, too, needs some
explanation, but not from him. The
most emphatic deuinl would not now b
beloved. Tho income return is tho
thing by which we'll catch the con-
Rcicnco Of tho Ring. Thoy haye beoo
so long producing It, that ono would
think they were manufacturing
fac siuilo. Abrarn s. Hewitt asked for
both Tilden'G and Hayes returns some
nTo weoks ago, but rs tho clericnl forco

out OF the question. Hayes must he
