We notice that absurd stories are
afoat to the effect that Mr.. Schurz re-
ceives $1,000 night for speaking for
Grant and Hayes. There is not a parti-
Gle of truth in the statement. The St.
Louis Democrats authority on this point
should he conclusive, as Mr.. Schurz and
that paper managed the Missouri State
campaign of 1874 together. What the
Democrat did say was that Mr.. Schurz's
terms were $500 night, and il insinu-
ated that he charged extra for few re-
marks" from the hotel balcony or during
sernade. In justice to Mr.. Schurz we
cannot forbear from giving this impor-
