HEAVY CARRIAGE HIRE.

The new Secretary OF War, in re-
ply to a letter from Mr.. Clymer, the
Chairman of the War Expenditure
Committee, says that it cost the
Government SIC, 600 for the hire Of
a carriage for the Secretary of War,
from the beginning of this Admins
tration down to Belknap's resigna-
ton on March End. During the
Seven years Belknap was Secretary
the carriage was never used a. dozen
times for his convenience in des-
patching public business. 1t served
the same purpose Attorney General
Williams laundelet did. 1t enabled
the Belknap family to ride out in
style every day, and attend the nu-
merous receptions and parties given
during the society season. But why
the Government should have been
taxed $4,000 for this luxury the
War Expenditures Committee is GO
ing to find out.

By reading the Radical papers, and
listening to Radical claquers, one
wouldi1st now think that R. B. Hayes
the most popular candidate eyer
presented for the SURFACES ofa people.
If you ask a Republican what great
qualities Mr.. Hayes possesses that
should entitle him TO the support of
the people for the highest position in
their gift, they at once answer by,re
citing his popularity, and go on to
say that he has beaten three Of the
leading Democrats of Chic for Gpyer-
nor. It is true that Governor Hbyes
was ~successfulin this, ys6itisf aiso
true that Ohio is a Republican, State
and has been o rthe past eleven years,
with two exceptions, and during the
fpast eleven years, the Republican
majorities have ranged from AZ, ZIG tc
2,9S3. The following are the Republi
can Eaaiorities:
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-06-29


The Republican papers speak Of
the Democratic House as "the Con-
federate Congress-" aud yet they
profess to deprecate everything cal
culated to keep up the animosities
caused by the late war. They can
not point out q single act or resolu-
ton of the House, or to any speech
made by a member, that intimates
anything else than a disposition to
accept the results of the war, and to
stand by them, including all the a.
mendments to the Constitution
But still the party that welcomes and
cherishes the Longstreets, Mosbys
and a host of others who took an ac-
tive part in the rebellion, call the
House of Representatives, "Confede-
rates." because southern members
are recognized and given places on
the House Committees. This is in,
tended as another wave ofthe bloody
shirt the banner under which Re.
publican demagogues hope to gain
their victory with the accompanying
license to plumber the people for an.
other four years.

JULY q. l7ys.

This was the day on which the
Continental Congress declared them
selves absolyed from all allegiance to
Great Britain, and appointed the
committee to draft the present De-
claration Of Independence, which
was adopted two days afterwards.
John Adams, writing to his wife on
the 3rd Of July, spoke of the great
work that had been done on the pre-
ceding day, and said that the I'd Of
July would be celebrated by future
generations as the great natal day
of the country. But in this he was
mistaken, as the people have prefer
red celebrating the day o faction, the
day the Declaration was adopted, to
the one on which it was merely ere
solved" verifying the old adage,
factions speak louder than Words
The best authorities seem agreed
that the signing of the Declaration
did not take place until the I'd Of
August.

p~eculation," forsooth! The whole
government has been reeking with
rascality all through Gen. Grants
term, and the sole labor of his friends
has been to cover it up-and get a
share of the plumber.
This is such a well known fact
that we look at the signatures to the
address with some curiosity, to see
who can have made themselves re-
sponsible for the statement that the
detection ard punishment ofwrong-
doors is the principal occupation of
Gen. Grants administration, and
that if the work is not attended to

sT. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Conven-
tion has assembled at st. Louis, and
before the DEMocRAr reaches most of
its readers the National Democratic
ticket will have been nominated, and
the declaration of faith set forth.
Whatever that declaration may be,
and whoever be the nominees, We
consider their election as a certainty.
We would desire a platform calling
for the repeal of the Republican Re-
sumption Act; the repeal of the Ma
E%tional Banking Law, and against
further contraction. With such a
platform we could sweep the entire
west like a whiriwind and elect a
President by an overwhelming ma
jority, as against the calico platform
OF the Republicans.
Should we fail to secure such a
platform, the certainty Of Demo
cratic success is no less sure. The
New York Tribune Republican
comedies 149 electoral votes to the
Democracy, and counts New York
and New Jersey among the doubtful
States. With a hard money plat
form these two States are as sure for
the Democrats as Kentucky, and
would give a majority of eight in the
electoral college. Democrats have
cause to rejoice at such certainty Of
q change in the administration. II
will bring with it reform, retrench.
ment and good government. These
are perquisites to national prospect
ty that we should not underestimate
For eightyears the Republican party
has promised these, and instead
have steadily, rapidly, plungeddeep
er into corruptions and extravagan
ices. What little hope ofreform exist
ed among the members ofthat patty
was blasted, by the nomination Of
Hayes, as an administration candi
date, over Bristow, the candidate o.
the reformers. The people are tiret
ofthis deception, and we repeat thai
the nominee of the st. Louis Conven
tion is as u Of being the mex
President as he is to live to see tn,
9th day of March 1877.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-06-29

Everybody admires the stirring
eloquence of Ingersoll, of Illinois,
who put Blaine in nomination at
Cincinnati. He passed through In
dianapolis toward his home on Sat
urday ana characteristicall remark
ed that athe Republican. party had
made a grand blunder-in fact, it
has made an ass ofitself. The tick
ct had no element of strength. It
could awaken no enthusiasm. The
news would fall upon the party like
a sick buzzard upon dead ass.
When orators Of the party went into
the canvass, they would have to con
fessthattheir candidate did not know
anything, but the only thing they
could plead was, that he had not stoi-

THE ESPECIAL LABOR Or TIE
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION.


Two years ago the Union Republi-
can Congressional Committee pub.
lished an address to the people ofthe
United States reviewing the history
of Democratic misrule before the
war andthe achievements Of the Re
publican party during the great
struggle and since the peace. 1t was
like most other campaign addresses,
IA mixture of fact and fiction, sober
truth and arrant nonsense. There
was one paragraph however, which
the administration leaders of the
present day, if they chance upon a
stray copy of the document will
read with a curious expression of
countenance. 1t is the following:
"When the oppositfo1 deHpance
republicans as thieves, it is not easy
to try the truth of the assertion. Be
sides, two circumstances g~iyeslight
color to that allegation. First, re-
publicans have possession of the
government, and have the best chance
to peculate. Second, it has been the
especial labor of the present admin
istration to detect and punish pecu-
lation. During the struggle and ex-
citement which attended the rebel
lion some bad men found their way
into public employment. Mr.. Lin
coins administration was too much
occupied with grayer matters to keep
strict watch Of every individual of
fender. The administration which
succeeded was quite as unprepared
for that duty. Congress was then
much absorbed in the great york of
reconstruction, and the President
was not happily fitted to ~criticise of
fetal misconduct. But the present
administration has no exemption
from that work. fit is not attend
ed to now, the administration, and
not the times, must be held respons-
ible."
Well, does the party wish to be
Judged in 1874 by the PROFESSIONS of
1874? President johnson "was not
happily fitted to criticise officialmis-
conduct" Is President Grant, Bad
men somehow got into the party in
the turmoil and confusion of1war and
reconstruction. Have they been
turned out? Two years ago this
campaign committee told us their
administration had no excuse for
neglecting the work of reform. Has
it been attended to? Belknap's brib-
cry was known four years ago, and
it was not stopped until Democrat
ic investigating committee tookitup.
Shepherds transactions We're notori-
GUS, and the President rewarded him
for them by a nomination, first IS
Governor and then as Commissioned
of the District of Columbia. The
frauds in the Indian Bureau have
been a national scandal for years,
but Delano was protected under fire
until Prof. Marsh and the Tribune
forced him to resign,-and then the
President gave him a Recommended
ton. The safe burglary was a,erime
which disgraced representatives. of
the federal authority in Washington
and the farcical trial of the alleged
conspirators aggravated the original
wrong; but the President interfered
