his unCIe's estate, it would prove that he t
was virtually bankrupt, for except c

that he owed $4,000 at the start, did he r
continue to owe it for three years, and
why Just enough to cover those mortga' +

time for Mr.. Hayes to rise and explain, y,
and he will no doubt be afforded ample
onportunity to do SO. Until this matter

throes of despair. Let Rutherford speak

disclosures of Hayes income perjury
produced immense sensation here. Pub
lie attel ton has been so strained in the
direction of that form Of fraud, loudly
imputed to Mr.. Tilden, that the minds
of men were plastic to the terrible i'm
preston of this revelation touching the
integrity of Hayes, so long vaunted as
invIlnerable by his partisans. The Re-
publicans now denounce the New York
Time and other party organs for making
it campaign of personal sander, and
basing the battle lpon personal records
