Not a single flaw has been found yet in
Gov. Hayes's record. That fact makes a
frst-class campaign document all by itself
-Ne1 York Tribune
Dem ocrats admit that Gov. Hayes is a
respectable man and of fair talents. They
have no war to make on his
character or his talents. What they claim
is that 16 years of power has corrupted
the Republican party; that the country,
through the bad legislation of the Republi-
can party and the robberies ofthe treasury
by Republican officials, is not only not pros
porous but is growing worse and worse
every year under their management, and
that change is demanded by every con
sideratiOn of public economy, public morals
and public interests, and that it Gov
Hayes shall be elected the same leading
men who have legislated the country tC
the verge of bankruptcy will still contro
and run the government. Nobody CAL
truthfully deny this.

A Republican Paper in Rock Island
County Comes Out for Tildeu.

County Comes Out for Tilden.
The Port Byron Weekly. heretofore a
Republican newspaper, has pulled down
the Republican ticket and hoisted the
Democratic ticket In Idoing SO it says:
1.-THE time seems to have come when
the people look upon the fair promises of
Republican candidates with many grains
of allowance and more especially those
made upon the near approach of impor
tant elections. We have the letters OF
Ti,den and Hendricks and of Hayes and
Wheeler before US, each foreshadowing or
indicating the line of policy to be pursued
in the event of election to the Office OF
president. We all know what the Republi-
can party has been in the past Its re-
cord has marred the fair pages OF Ameri.
can history since the Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, and we can see nothing
in the letter of Mr. Hayes as indicating any
change from the line of policy
pursued by his Republican prede-
cessors. Hence we take his promises for
what they are worth, and perceive pretty
clearly what four years of his administra-
ton will be,
Mr.. Tilden's letter is plain, emphatic
and manly. He perceiyes with clear
vision the future needs of the country,
and proposes to inagurate reforms that
shall not be Sc ctional but patriotic and
universal throughout the length and
breadth of the land. There is no beating
behind the bush in speaking Of the policy
to be pursued in the event of his
election. He is a Democrat, sound
to the core, and believes in the consttu
tionaI rights of the people, irrespective Of
creed race or color. He believes that
a change of administration is not only
desirable but imperative, in order to re
store the government to the purity and
honesty contemplated by its founders. The
people desire this change, ard popular
sentiment is rapidly changing in favor o
Tilden and reform.

cf the Goth, is a remarkable letter from
Harrisburg, Pa, the 23d, showing that the
Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania are Re-
publicans; that they have been paid over
$5O,O00 for electioneering purposes; that
their murderers have been pardoned by
Cows. Geary, and Hartranft; that they
carried the state for the Republicans, and
secured the election of Cameron to the
senate, etc., etc. The letter closes as fol
lows:
