for the Country.

tMilwaukee News.1
When q man is nominated Tor Presl-
dent of the United States over the heads
81 the authors and expounders OF oil
those great measures which within fif-
teen wears have altered the whole lace
OF civil affairs, made virtually new or.
ganic constitution, and reversed the
poIity and principle on which the
fathers founded the republic, even
though It be confessed that his record -
a blnmeess rather than q great one. It
cannot be strange that we should take
the trouble to patiently run through the
Gtobe during the whole period OF his
official life. This is due to the position
in which his party have placed him.
But when we announce that the search
was so absolutely Ruthless as to make
us feel ridiculous, oil can see that IT is
rsproach and shame to insult the
Office OF Chief Magistrate with such
name as Hayes. Read this, ye. who are
not vet awake to the game played on
you by the ADLER men OF the party ia
putting forward where stateman ougnt
to be mere figure-bead, q person VINO,
while in Congress, was inconsiderable
almost beyond any man that ever sal I'd
the hall. Here Is the record:
isse--February 10. Labor petition from constitu-
ents.
February. %, Moved 5000 f'r picture.
March Il Petition to tax oil
March Is. Joint resolution TO punish EN-
bezzieInent. etc. -

traits of ex- Presidents, be-
cause provided for already
by other funds.
March Q. Moved to add s2foo to pay editor OF
the Madison papers
March II. Made a personal explanation q
his action in committee about
u private claim.
This Is the record Of boy amongst
men. No clever lad OF fifteen IN the
Union could have done less In Congress.
He was never on the floor once but pro
forD,d. and then he made a personal ex
PLANTATION about relatively petty mat
ter Observation-Disclosures Is TO say, a
very little member OF the Smith family
IL D. German name, ard we suppose
Hayes claim TO the German vote OF the
country Is to be coneiliated by his public
course in Congress toward that class OF
citizens, as follows. He presented Mr..
KleiDschmidt 3 petition for remission
of taxes In the following sum, to wit
$12 so. We do not know whether MT.
Kleinschmidt was q constituent. We
will presume he was not, that MT.
Hayes may appear as the father Of one
measure in Congress. We do not know
the fate of it. We fear it failed. But
clearly on this despicable record we can
afford to be generous. We pronounce,
therefore, that Mr.. Hayes successfully
carried this great measure, and got MI
Kleinschmidt his $12 80, and, to close
all question about 1t. we will assume II
by paying the amount ourselves II the
Treasurer refused We now see why
Mr.. Schurz supports Hayes. Alas was
humbug ever palmer than the machiDa
tors at Cincinnati have exemplified u?
