A CORRESPONDENT Of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, writing from West
Virginia. says that Hayes, the Radi'
cal candidate for President, while a
General in the Federal army, had a
soldier shot for desertion, and that he,
Hayes appropriated $500 of the sol,
dies money, either to his own use,
or that Of some one else. This fact
may help to account for Hayes greed
for, and love of money. The man
who tells this on Hayes was Chap
lain in the army, and signs his full
name-W. W. Harper. Let Ruth
erford rise and explain.

This new patty has at last succeed
ed in getting some one to "act as its
candidate" for Vice President on the
ticket with Rev. Green Clay Smith,
and they now have an electoral ticket
in the field. We are just as much op-
posed to running the temperance qucs-
ton into politics as we are opposed to
mixing Church and State. If this
country can not he redeemed from the
giant evil Of intemperance in any 9th
.er way than by having presidential
candidates, we fear that the giant will
hold the mastery for all time to come.
We never have believed, nor can we
ever think, that this is the proper way
TO fight the liquor traffic. Instead Of
bene6tting the cause Of temperance it
will yet prove to be its destruction.
AS well hope to elect ticket brou ht
-out by the Masons. Odd Fellows, or
any other secret, oath.bound society,
o. to hope to succeed with Prohibit
ton ticket. No secret society can
flourish. or has ever fourished politi-
cally in this country or any other.
The history of the world furnishes no
instance where a secret society has
been enabled to take the reins of gov
eminent and run il. We would not
be understood rs saving anything
against the cause Of temperance. Far
from it. We fondly cherish the hope
that the day is not far distant when we
can look upon the work of the Good
Templars as almost finished by the
abolition of an indiscriminate whisky
traffic. The good work they have
done and are still doing is worthy of
all praise, and should be encouraged
by the press, the pulpit, and by every
man and woman in the land. But
the futile effort of few fanatics to
run it into politics is greater blow
against its ultimate success than any
thing we may say in opposition to the
Prohibition ticket. This an era of po-
litical reform. Two great parties are
in the field. The Democratic party
promises to give the coustry relief
from the oppression of taxation and
to thoroughly purge all public politi.
cal Offices of rascals and thieves who
have grown rich upon public plumber.
A vote given TO the Prohibition can
didate is a vote lost, for it will avail
nothing, nor can it accomplish any
good. How was it in Ohio, and 9TH
er States where such tickets we're
nominated? 1t was a moral-political
farce. Let Democrats think of this
matter. and before you cast your vote
where it will do no good, remember
that the interests of your country are
at stake. Let us stand or fall by the
principles as taught by the Democrat
&c party. There is no halfway ground.
There is no party which promises
more good to the country which has
the shadow Of showing for success,
We jeopardise our welfare when we
fly off after a candidate who has no
more chance to win the battle than We
have to become the Gar of Russia.
We write in all candor, and hope that
every Democratic member of the Or
der will vote for Tilden, Hendricks
and Reform.
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1872-1881, 1876-08-11

On the 18th of July, Tilden and
Hendricks were notified of their NOM
nation, and on the 4th of August,
Just three weeks after that, their let
tiers of acceptance were published.
Why then call them "'those long de-
ferred letters?" We could afford to
wait month to get such good reading
as they contain.

A. NJ. SwopE, the Radical elector
in one Of the Kentucky districts, claims
TO be an "erratic speaker" The Frank.
fort Ksoman says he proved to be en-.
titled to the appellation from a speech
he made there last Saturday, and that
he was guilty of great deal of vain
and tiresome repetition during the last
hour of his two-hours' speech" Swope
is loquaeious, TO say the least of him.

THE Probibitionists put the hame Of
Hon. Burch Musselman, Of Louisville,
on their committee; but Mr.. NJ, in a
card to the Comier-Jomnal, says It was
done without his knowledge or consent,
and, furthermore, says that he will
work for Tilden and Hendricks as the
only hope for the salvation Of the
country; that, while his heart is in
the Temperance cause, he cannot afford
to jeopardine the welfare of the Demo-
cratic party by aiding in Weakening
its strength. Let all other Good Tenn
plars follow this true man in his po-
litical course.

THE comments Of the Democratic
press all over the country, on the let

fairer portion of the Republican press
