WM. WRIT WARREN, in speech before
the Democratic Convention in Worces-
ter, Massachusetts, the other day, thus
arraigned Grantism:
"The Administration which promised
US peace at home, has given us anything
but peace. For the basest of purposes,
to perpetuate his own political suprema-
ry, it has arrayed race against race at the
South. 1t has done this by bandlug to-
gether, through its vile emissaries, the
people of one race for the purpose of con-
trolling those of the other race. 1t has
stimulated hatred and prejudice instead
of fostering good feeling and harmony ;
promoted idleness and discouraged in
dustry exalted ignorance and enslaved
intelligence; and would fain have made
the whole of our Southern territory a
desert"
Simple truth in nutshell, and given
in few words. The noise about the
rebel debt and Haunting of the bloody
shirt cannot suppress these truths.

REFORM MAY BESECURED.'

Ofthe public debt, 1886, 900, 900 bear
interest at 6 per cent in gold, and $712,-
600 900 at 5 per cent in gold. The aver
age interest is 5,58 per cent. A financial
policy which should secure the highest
credit, wisely availed Of ought gradually
to obtain reduction Of one per cent. on
most of the loans. A saving Of one per
cent. on the average would be $4,000
900 year in gold. That saving, regular
ly invested at four and half per cent.
would, in less than thirty eight years ex-
tinguish the principal. The whole 81
7oo, 900 900 Of the funded debt might be
paid by this saving alone without cost tc
the people.

COL. MILTON BARNES, THE CRU
SADER AND RELIGIOUS BIGOT.

"Cainbal," (Mr. Newton the Columbus
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
furnishes the following charges against
Col. Milton Barnes, the Republican can
didate for Secretary of State, and declares
that neither that gentleman nor any o.
his friends will dare to deny their truth
l. He was in 1874, and since, an active
violent and unCO4npromlslng leader III
the Crusade movement, AS such leader
he advocated a resort to mob law to en-
force their dtCrees and social business
and ostracism to intimidate the weak
minded, who did not agree with them.
With this record he came before the Re-
publican Convention with his friends
instructed to deny it for him, when he
could not explain it for himself. An ad-
vocate of mob law, and Gonspirator in
1874, be turned about and became a
hypocrite, and SO got the head place on
the Republican ticket.
2. He was within the last year engag-
ed il urging the Legislature Of Ohio, by
petition and otherwise, to pass law to
prevent Free Masons, Odd Fellows,
knights of Pythias and members of 9TH
er secret organizations from serving on
iuries. In a word. be desires to have
this large class Of society disfranChised,
for no other reason except that he doesn't
happen to believe in them.
8. He is now and has been for years
past an active leader in select band OF
zeaIots, who are demanding religious
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States and of this State. That
amendment requires the recognition OF
God and the devinity Of Christ as a re-
quisite to citizenship under the Constu-
ton, and is such as no conscientious He
brew, Unitarian or religious skeptic could
possibly subscribe to. In the prosecu-
ton of this measure he has taken part
in public meetings, addressed memorials
to Congress, petitioned Constitutional
Conventions, and has taken prominent
lead in lobbies that We been sent tC
work up influence for such a measure
He wants, in a word, to have a union o.
Church and State, and the forfeiture with
it Of the very principles upon which oul
Government is based.
These are, in as brief words as they
can be stated, the charges Of which Col
Milton Barnes stands indicted before the
bar of public opinion, and to which ht
and his attorneys decline to plead. HI
will be put on trial before the people il
October, and there is little doubt wha
the verdict will be. The people of Ohio
will not sustain man with such antece
delts. They will remit him to private
life by large majority.

MR. GEoRaE F. ANeEIL, Of Boston, read

Mr.. GEORGE F. ANGEL, of Boston, read
q paper before the Social Science Con-
vention at Saratoga, last week, which
showed that crime in the great Republi-
can State of Massachusetts in the past
ten years had nearly doubled. Twenty
thousand persons were arrested for crime
in 1875 in that State. His statistics says
that the proportion of crime to popula-
ton in the Bay State is now SO per cent.
higher than in Ireland, and life and pro-
perty are less secure in this country than
in Italy. The exhibit, is an alarming
one.

Bypublic economy, by official retrench'
ment, by wise finance enabling us to ac.
cumulate the precious metals, resumption
at an early period is possible without
producing artificial scarcity Of currency
or disturbing public or commercial credit
and these reforms, together with the re-
storation of pure government will re-
store general confidence, furnish employ
ment to labor and relieve the country

REFORM rs ECESSARY.
81. Louis Platform,

Reform is necessary in the scale of
public expense, Federal, State and NUM-
cipal Our Federal taxation has swollen
from soc, ,ooo, 900 gold, in 1860, to $780,
600, 900 currency, in 1870. Our aggre-
gate taxation, from SI54,ooo, 900 gold, In
1860, to $3.50, 900, 900 currency in 1870,
in one decade from less than S per head
to more than SI8 per head. Since the
peace, the people have paid to their tax.
gatherers more than thrice the sum OF
the National debt, and more than twice
that sum for the Federal government
alone. We demand rigorous trugality
in every department and from officer OF
the government.

REFORM MA Y BESECURED.
Samuel j. Tlden.

The necessity of reform in the scales
of public expense, Federal and munIci-
nal and in the modes ofFedral taxation,
iustifes all the prominence given 1t In
the declaration OF the St LOUIS conVen-
ton. The present depression in all busl'
ness and industries Of the people which
is depriving labor of its employment and
carving want into so many homes, has
its principal cause in excessive govern
ment consumption under illusions OF a
specious prosperity engendered by false
policies Of the Federal Government A
waste of capital has been going on ever
since the peace of 1865, which could only
end in universal disaster.

Reform is necessary in the civil service
Experience proves that efficient econm-
icai conduct Of the government business
is not possible if its civil service be sub
iect TO change at every election, be a
prize fought for at the ballot-box. be a
brief reward of party zealinstead of posts
ofhonor assigned for proved competence,
and held for fidelity in the public employ
that the dispensing ofpatronage should
neither be tax upon the time OF our
public men, nor the instrument OF their
ambition. Here, again, professions falsl'
fed in the performance attest that the
party in power can work out no practical
or salutary reform.

In commenting upon the action of At
torney General Taft, in connection with
the Presidents Southern order, the st:

by the cosmopolitan standard, TAFT is a
heavy, fiabby old gentleman, in whose
composition there is great deal OF the

ass"

The GREAT ISSUES ARE HONESTY
AND ECONOMY IN OFFICE.

These are the great indicating issues
in the pending campaign, and oversha'
dow all others, and are best set forth BY
the subioined extracts from the ST. Louis
platform and the letters ofacceptance by
Tilden and Hendricks.

Reform is necessary to rebuild and es'

in thu Union, eleven years ago happily
rescued from the danger of a secession
of States, but now to be saved from
corrupt centralism, which, after inlet
ING upon ten States the rapacity OF carpet

with incapacity, waste and fraud; infect

REFORM Ma Y BE SECURED.

Dishonesty, rapacity and venality have
debauched the public service. Men
known to be unworthy have ben promo,
ted. while others have been degraded
for fidelity to official duty. Public office
has been made the means of profit, and
the country has been offended to see a
class of men who boasted the friendship
ofthe sworn protectors ofthe States amas'
sing fortunes in defrauding the public
Treasury, and by corupting the servants
Of the people.

HAYES A MBER.

As an evidence of the niggardly parsi-
moniousness of Rutherford B, Hayes,
we give the facts in regard to the open
ing of streets through land in this city,
which he inherited from his uncle, Sar-
dis Birchard. A large number of citizens
were interested in opening two streets
Fulton and Prescott streets-through q
triangular piece of land on adams street,
which R. B. Hayes became the owner of
under the will of Sardis Birchard, and
all the citizens owning land, most Of
which was improved, on the line of both
streets, dedicated their land for the Sts.,
but Hayes refused to dedicate, and while
not one dollar was paid any citizen Of
Toledo for the land occupied y the Sts.,
R. B. Hayes land had to be condemned,
and he received the following Compen-
sation.
r. B. Hayes certificate ofindebted-
ness, issued March l. 1875, due
March |, 1876, bearing 7 per cent.
interest, SlOO
r. B. Hayes received for Fulton st.
bonds issued March l, l775, pay
able March l, 1876, bearing per
cent interest, 1000
Bonds issued March l., 1875, bear
ing z per cent, interest, payable
March /, 1878, 1900
R. B. Hayes received for Prescott
street, bonds issued March |, 1875,
bearing per cent. interest and
PAYABLE March |, 1877, 1000
Bonds issued March /, 1875, bear
ing per cent interest and paya-
BILE March |, 1878. 1000
Total, $4,000
Every dollar of these interest bear
ing securities were in the possession of
R. B. Hayes when he made his return to
the Assessor in April, 1875, and, as will
be seen by reference tc the return, he
did not list one dollar Of the amount for
taxation. With the spirit of miserly
meanness, for which he is notorious, he
refused to contribute foot of land for
streets which increased the value of his
property, and then cheated the State,
Sandusky county and the corporation of
Fremont out of the taxation on the
bonds and certificate Of Indebtedness
which he forced the city of Teledo to is
sue to him. Hayes is fine specimen of
liberality and enterprise to hold up as
model citizen. We have a few land
sharks in Toledo as mean as Hayes but
thank God we only have few of them,
and they are thoroughly despised by the
great mass of our people These facts
are within the reach of any citizen who
will call on G. w. Merrill E'q, City
Clerk, who will show the ordinances or
dering the condemnation of the land
the sewing of the certificate and bonds,
and Capt 0. Klemm, City Auditor, from
whom we procured the statement as to
the amount paid Hayes for the land. II,
B. Hayes, who owns quite large amount
of real estate in our city, holds every
foot of itunimproved it to have our citizens
make it valuable for him by building
around his land, and when improve
ments require streets to be opened
through his property, demands and re-
ceives the bonds of the city for all his
land taken for the streets. He never
originated any enterprise or contributed
dollar to any Improvement. He is
miser whose soul never rose above his
