A fine illustration of the character OF
the radical war ON Tilden has just come to
light. The New York Times is circulat-
ing campaign supplement" devoted to
villifcation Of New York's governor. IL
the copies Of this document circulated il
that and other eastern states a paragraph
occurs to the effect that Samuel j. IT,
denis hard money professions are, an The
light Of the facts presented, q snare and a
deLuSion." Here is where the joke comes
in. In the edition Of the campaign sup
plement" sent into Indiana and Ohio
the above paragraph is omitted aud Tilden
is declared to be ''the hardest Of hdrd
money men," Thus the thrifty New York
Times accommodates itself and its state,
ments to circumstances. 1t has one charge
against Tilden for the east and the exact
reverse Of it for western consumption. Its
supplement" varies according to latitude,
Could there be more glaring proof of
the partisan dishonesty of the New York
Times and its pack?

When did Hayes separate from his par
ty on any issue involving the honor or safe
ty of the countryY When did he raise his
voice against Republican wrong or Re-
publican rascal? When did he lend aid
and comfort to the little band of Republi
cans who we're endeavoring to reform their
party2 Where is the letter he wrote to
console and comfort Cox, when that reform
Republican was kicked out OF the cabinet

The severest rebuke that the Republi-
can party has lately received, comes from
the trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund. They report general fourishing
condition of public schools in the southern
states, except in the three states OF
Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana;
and George Peabody Russell, who has
been spending the winter south, gave it as
his opinion, that nothing could be ex-
pected from these states in the way OF al
vancing their educational interests unit

ments. These are the states where alone

ter he wrote to encourage and stimulate
Bristow, when that Republican reformer
was fighting the whisky thieves with one
hand. and holding back the whisky thieves
friends with the other? When didhe ever
do anything that brave and honest man
would do to save the government from the
grasp of rings? Hayes is model Repub-
lican. He has views" but they are al
ways I'm accord" with those of his party.
He was nominated on account of his ability
to accord" with the party programme at
short notice. He will walk the party
chalk-line without wayerlug a hair 5
breadth, and no party pill can be invented
which is too hot or too heavy for his stom-
ach. Is such an unfinching partisan the
right stuff for a president in times like
these2

Hayes and OHicial Fees in Ohio.

A correspondent from West Virginia
asks the following question:
Twill you oblige reader of your excel
lent paper by stating the provisions OF the
act of the Ohio Legislature relating to the
emoluments of local officials, to which you
referred editorially in the issue of June
2Sth2"
When William Allen was Governor Of
Ohio measure was advocated by him,
passed by the Legislature and placed on
the statue books, which reduced the fees
of local and county officers thirty-three
per cent. This reduction made differ.
ence, taking the entire state together, o.
nearly 100000 in the public outlay
and, of course, relieved the people of q
tax of that amount which they had beer
paying. As soon as Mr.. Hayes, thanks tt
Democratic divisions, got into office, ;
combination Of these officials was formed
and bill pressed through the Legislature
repeating Governor Aliens act, and re-es
tablishing the old scale of fees. To thi
repeal Governor Hayes did not raise tn,
least objection, aud those who pressed il
claimed that they had his full co operation
1t certainly went on the statue books with
out any protest from him. If it be show
that he disliked the act, that will .onl
prove how worse than idle it is to expec
such man toput a stop to the operations o
the corrupt rings at Washington. /
Hayes as Governor is impotent to BATH
against jobbery and robbery in Ohio, VIII
can expect Hayes as President to resis
the tremendous pressure of organizes
rascality at Washington.

During Tildens administration as Governor OF
New York the salary OF that office has been raised
from four to ten thousand dollsrs year. Slippery
Sammy Is good type of the average Democtatic
reformer.- Register
That would be good if true. The salary
Of the New York governor was raised by a
constitutional convention two years ago
aud the said constitutional convention was
Republican. The people, however, ratified
the advance in the salary Of the governor
at the same election which carried Tilden
into Office, so that the people we're satisfied
to pay their governor the said $4,000.

Hayes was in congress in 1866 when the
salary of congressman was raised from
$4,000 TO $4,000. Governor Hayes voted
