RIFLE SHOTS.

Gov Tilden may be a much-abused
man, but in November next he will
be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. See if it
isn't so.
Toelect IIayesis to continue Grant
ism, To continue Grantism is to
continue high taxes, low wages and
starvation.
Ruthy Hayes is the possessor of a
watch that exactly suits his condi-
ton. lie says that it can't be made
to run.
Sardis Orchard was considered Il
rich man, but his property deprccia-
ted to near nothing when he had
given it to Rutherford b. Hayes.
1t does not follow that because
Rutherford b. Hayes was sharp
enough to dodge the tax collector
during seven years of his life, he
ought to be elected President.
The election of Hayes would not
only be the Endorsement of Grant,
but the triumph of the whisky ring.
1t will be impossible for the Republi-
cans to blind the people to this issue.
Governor Hayes isrcported tohaye
been a primitive hardshcll Know.
Knothing, one of the "Put-nOnc-but
Americans-on-guard' kind. He was

Is this one of his claims on the sup
porto Carl Schurz and the Germans?
William A. Wheclcr Republican
candidate for Vice-Presidcnt, is in
favor of remanding the South to mil.
itary rule.
Stanley Mathews, brothcr-in-law to
Rutherford b. Hayes, Radical nomi.
nee for Congress, is for cnveloping
the Southern States in martialIaw
Rutherford b. Hayes is for keeping
standing army in the South until
every Southern State votes the Re
publican ticket.
Morton, Butler, Chandler, Logan,
Packard, Grant and Spencer, are for
applying the sword to every white
mans throat, and the torch to every
white mans roof who declines to
vote the Republican ticket.
And wherefore? That the party
may continue to rule the country at
a cost of eight hundred millions Of
dollars, and that the Republican
leaders may be protected from the
yawning doors Of fifty pcnitentiarics.
The one sheep owned by the Re
publican candidate for President, and
listed by him in lis return to the
tax gathcrcr, is u living monument
to his incapscity as . man of affairs.

Beware of counterfeit tickets
The Republicans are desperate and
will resort to any trick to deceive
the voter into voting for some of
their candidates.

Hayes Tax Returns.

The Republican liars made to-
tally false and wickedly Infamous ac-
cusation of perjury against Governor
Tilden with regard to his income re-
turns. When confronted with the
Law and the evidence with respect
thereto, they quietly withdrew the
accusation, keeping up a little sheet
thunder by way Of imposing upon
the credulity of the more ignorant.
Their vicious attack, however, had
reminded the people of Ohio of the
law in that state which require
sworn returns of personal property.
The matter was Investigated, and n
partial statement by a Toledo paper
made out a very suspicious case
against Hayes. That gentleman un-
dertook to explain the ugly accusa-
ton away. The Chicago Times then
took the matter up, and after a
searching examination cOnclusively
established the following incontro-
vertible facts:
1. With a full knowledge of the
requirements of the law, r. b. Hayes
has persistently neglected to list his
property subject to taxation.
2. He has for three years made
false oath as to the value Of his prop
erty above his just debts.
B. He has sworn that in 1864 his
property was worth only 81 ,5Sl, when
that portion of it liable to be taxed
turned 100000.
4 He has refused for three years
to list his gallery of paintings and Il
diamond that fell to him as a rcsidu-
airy iegatee-S5,OO0.
3. lie never paid any money to-
wardthe Fort Stevenson purchase,
although he says he did, for the pur-
pose Of explaining the remarkable
falling off in the exhibits Of figures
from 1878 to 1874.
6. He had in l774-'75-'7G about
$4,000 worth of credits, in the shape
of mortgages, which he did not list,
and, more than this, peGurcd him
| self by swearing he was not pos
sesSed Of them.
7. He had three horses in 1874,
and swore he had but one.
s. He had three watches in 1874,
and sworc he had but one.
o. He has had the use of thirty odd
thousand dollars left as requests by
his uncle, for which he makes no
return.
10. lie has disrcgardcd the law,
and made no return to the Probate
Court of Sandusky county for the
dictatorship of his uncle's will.
II. In short, Rutherford B. Hayes
has been guilty Of false swearing for
the past three years, and has swim
died his county and the Stateof Ohio
out of Il large share of their just rev.
cnucs,
And now the Republican din isrc-
peatcd, louder than ever; this time
however, to drown ont the voices of
tho hundreds Of thousands of Ropub-
licans who are indignant at the as
sault upon Mr.. Tillen, coupled with
the revelation of their own candi-
dates perjury.

BAD COUNTRY FOR POLITICIANS,

We find the following paragraph in the
Silver City New Mexioo) Herald, which
shows that our prospective neighbors on the
southwest have a way of dealing with OBJ
noxious Legislators which is peculiarly their
own-a style, which, if introduced in this
country, would tend TO make seat in the
Legislature less desirable place. The
Herald says:
We have reliable information that three
members of our last legislature have been
severely dealt with. One has been shot,
another's sheep have been destroyed, and
another has had his house burned down.
We understand also that other members OF
the legislature have been threatened. The
primary cause OF these proceedings Is I'M
derstood to be the passage OF the law which
permits the district court TO order the sale,
at public auction, of the whole of any grant
of land, upon such notice az the court sees
fit, upon the demand of any one of the par
ties in interest, no matter how small that
interest may be. BY this means these
grants in New Mexico can be forced to sale,
for cash, thus afiording great opportunity
for obtaining fraudulent possession.
