Governor Hayes and the Campaign

from the Steuban (Ohio) Gazettee, Sept, 2S.l
On last Tuesday morning w. G. CASTOR
Esq, of this city, called upon Governor
Hayes this office in the capitol at Colum-
bus. While waiting at the west front of
the capitol, Governor Hayes came up, and
after shaking hands began political con-
versation said: "On the question of
finance, the resumption act and the neces-
sity of reform, we will be badly beaten.
We must have the bloody shirt and revive
the bitter prejudices of the war; OF
course Gov. Hayes, in giving utterance to
this expression, supposed Mr.. CASTOR to
be a Republican, as he was i'll company
with republican lawyer from Toledo at
this time. This, Of course, then, proves
conclusively that the Republican candi
date for President ofthe United States has
no faith whatever in the possibility of that
party being successful in the present cam
paign with fair discussion of the living
issues of the day, although he himself is
an earnest, and, we have believed, honest
advocate of the doctrine of forced resump-
ton. AT the end of the conversation Mr..
CASTOR said: .'Iou have no doubt of the
result, Governor" to which he answered:
Il do not like to speak dogmatically on
that question. The Germans of Ohio are
treating us very badly
Mr.. Castor will vorch for the truth OF
this circumstance, and there is 10 doubt
that it actually occurred as reported, and if
Gov. Hayes is the honest man which his
friends claim, and which we have always
supposed him, he will not deny it.
