can no longer be any doubt, if there ever
was any, about Gov. Hayes's position on
the leading question of the day. There is
not asymptom of hedging or trimming in his
letter. 1t is frank, manly and unmistak-
able throughout He is the true reform
candidate. Worcester Spy.
1t will be found to be a truly admirable
document, and will rejoice the hearts of all
true friends of reform throughout the land.
Gov. Hayes takes very advanced position
in regard to civil service reform, hard
money, the school issue, and other vital
questions OF the day. He shows that he is
tully as earnest a reformer as Bristow and
July as bold and able a statesman "a
Blaine. His letter is stronger than the
platform which it discusses, and il will
vastly strengthen the republican cause
Ne'o Haoen Journal.
The republican party has every reason to
be pleased and satisfied with the admirable
letter in which Governor Hayes accepts its
nomination Tor the first place in the gov
eminent. 1t is a plain, Straightforward
document, capable of no double interpreta-
tiops, lodging no issues, and entirely de-
void OF anything that savors of the dema-
gogue. Whether one holds to Ne idea
that the promises of candidate are of
equal importance with the party platform
or not, the matter, the tone and the spirit
OF this letter are full of encouragement for
all who hope to see q new and good repub-
lcan administration come into power on
the 4th of next March.-Boston Adcertiser.

The democrats ask us to give the con-
troll of the government into their hands So
that they may administer it economically,
pay off the debt, and reduce taxation.
They have shown us how eminent they are
as reformers in this line, in New York
city, where they have had complete con-
troll. From 1869 to 1876, they have in
creased the bonded debt of the city from
thirty-six millions of dollars to one hun.
dred and thirly-two millions of dollars
hare almost quadrupled IT, They have in-
creased the tax from two dollars and fifty
cents on the hundred dollars in 1873, to
two dollars and ninety -four cents III 1875,
an aggregate increase Of nearly nine mil
lions of dollars, and an average of thirty
six dollars and thirty-six cents per capita
of the p ,pulation. This is their idea Of
economy. BY all means give them chance

To those who think the views declared
by Samuel j. Tlden on the financial ques-
ton, prior to the meeting OF the st. Louis

his course in reference thereto, notwith-

adopted, we would respectfully suggest the

The Rutland county republican conven.
ton, for the nomination of candidates for
county officers, meets to-day. All that is
asked Of it is, to place in nomination tick
ct as thoroughly representative, and that
will unite the party at home as completely
as did the nominations at Cincinnati and
Montpelier represent and unite the party
of the state and nation. With the excel
lent names suggested in connection with
the several offices, the convention need not
go outside of the list and can hardly go
astray.

THOMAS A, HENDRICKS.

The question of who shall be vice -pres-
dent Of the United States is always one OF
great mportance-much more so than it il
generally made. The fact that only one
life is between the occupant and the execu
tive chair ought to be enough TO make thu
people particularly careful in their selec-
tion of vice-president ; and especially So
as it has proved IN three instances-thost
of John Tyler, Willard Fillmore, and An
drew Johnson-ihat in voting for that
officer, they we're in fact making HIM presi-
dent of the United States. But aside from
this, in the choice presented to the Ameri
can people at this time, it seems to US thai
it 10 of the utmost importance that wist
choice should be made, that Thomas A.
Hendricks, the democratic candidate should
be defeated.
the senate, and as such has a casting vote
in case of a tie-that is to say, when the
senate is equally divided on question, the
vote of the vice president decides it. The
senate is now uncomfortably close. The
democrats need now to gain only six sena
tors to give them one half of the senate
Should Colorado elect democratic legis-
lature, and return two democrats to the
senate, that party will need only five addi-
tional senators to equally divide that body.
How near the democrcy will come to Sc
a1rinn five sly eanatnra mac no cpat,
when IL is stated that two senators are to
be elected from Louisiana, and one each
from Arkansas, New Jersey, South
Carolina, and Wisconsin. If the demo
Gratis succeed in electirg the president, it
must be evident that they will come dan
gerously near securing, or at least equally
dividing, the senate. In such an event,
Thomas A. Hendricks would practically
control legislation.
Can the country afford to run such a
risk ? Concedlng, if you please, that Gov
eInor Tilden is hard money man by con.
victions, can we expect that he would veto
an imitation measure passed by congress in
accordance with the terms of the St. Loui.
platform ? Governor Tlden cannot be
elected president without, at the same time
electing Governor Hendricks vice presi
dent. A vote for one Is q vote for both
Their success means democratic house Of

This will necessarily result in the uncon

The letter is complete and admirable in

A satire upon his hackers. 1t illustrates
the republican idea of reform within the

1t is manly and positive, leaving no pos

Governor Hayes has written an excellent
letter. And he writes like man who
means what he says. That is the kind of
man we understand him to be. He is es-
pecially satisfactory on the question of

Gen. r. B. Hayes's letter or acceptance

The letter of Governor Hayes accepting
the republican nomination for president of
the United States, is in!every way indicative
of his fearless integrity and manly charac-
ter. Policy in no way molds its utteranccs
or invests any OF its declarations in ambig-
uity. Every word Is clearly the expression
of unquestionable patriotism and sound
common sense,-Utic HeraM.
A few have waited to see his letter of
acceptance--to know from himself what
was his standard of duty, and what his

standard bearer, and to the counlry-to
learn how boldly and squarely he would be
willing to declare his honest purposes.
Gov Hayes's letter of acceptance IS frank
and unequivocating enough to satisfy the
most exacting patriot. -BurGn9ton Free
Press.
If Gov. Hayes can be taken at his word,
he will satisfy the demand of the voters
for whom the New York political confer
ence spoke-the voters who care more for
principles and persons than for parties.
We believe that he will perform what he
has promised, not only because we believe
him TO be an honest man, but also because
the circumstances in which he stands be-
fore the country furnish him with pecu-
liar incentive to perform it, with rare faci-
lities for doing so.-Nen York Post.
