What Hayes Did With His One
Talent.

There Is scripture parable
about q man who hid his talent in u
napkin, and returned it TO the
owner when it was called for, with
out interest aid without return.
THIS unfalthful servant was seized,
bound, and east into outer dark
ness, where there was weeping,
wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
The Republican candidate seems TO
have been provided in early life
with very small talent and Il worry
large napkin. lie went to congress
and took his napkin along. lie
never did anything and never said
anything bu, once, and that was an
apology for having lett undone
something he onght TO have done.
In other words, he allowed the
fraudulent Bouligny claim to go
through congress without protest
ing, though he knew IT TO be fraud
ucnt. lie was made governor of
Ohio, and took his napk n along.
SO far as can be discovered, he
never did anything whatever ia
that position. In comparison witt,
the man who has purged his State
OF Ring, reduced taxation, aud
lifted the whole level of admins
iration throughout the country,
this mans record is a little worse.
if anything, than that OF the man
who took his talent and Ind il in a
napkin, Tor there is nothing 10 show
that any such opportunities came
10 lin rs have come 10 Mr. Hayes.
We iprsjict ..ihat The people will
prefer the man who improved his
talent TO the man who refuse to
improve Il. And when election
day comes We shall see iae Rcpub.

Col. Bob lNGERsoLL.-I'he gifted or
ator, who has SO suddenly leaped into a
national reputation, is thus personally
pictured by Il correspondent of the Chi
cago JoUndt: He is large man, of
middle life, round and stout Of form, and
stands erect, with his head about upon a
line with the lx-foot, mark. His weight
is few pounds over 200 +; his complexion
indicative Of health ; His face full and
cleaniy shaven his head partially bald
from the front his hair light brown,
sprinkied with gray, and his general APP
pearance quite priesty enough to war
rant the nickname OF" Pope Bob, which
his intimate friends have sometimes ap-
piled to him. His voice is full and strong
and proceeds from a full, loving mouth
while his words are simple and his
thoughts the finely ground product of a
very large and splendldly endowed brain,
supported by almost perfect physical
health. He is singuarly free from any
love of notoriety, esteeming wife and
children as the best gifts, and most dear
ly to be treasured. He is exempt from
the Byronic idea that genius and good
morals are Incompatible. On tho contra
ry, he knows enough to know that the
proverb ne virtuous and you will be hap
py' is one OF the eternal truths"

THE DEMOCRATIC OPNIoN.-We sec
it stated that the New York WorLd,
(which is Democratic, said editorially in
n late issue-the subject being Chinese
immigration
Those who have participated in the
Chinese agitation in California are
generally of the brawing class, made up
of small politicians anxious to curry ia
vor with laborers and artisans.
Behind them is the hoodum element,
on the alert for anything which promises
riot and occasion for pillagc.
1t the Chinese pay taxes, rents and
fares, and earn and purchase that which
they wear and consume, the community
must be the gamer. Ii they work for
less wages than other people, there is a
saving Of capital which will find other
investment. Inasmuch as the most rabd
denunciations of the Chinese come from
people who do not work, except when
menaced by starvation, the Chinese have
rather the better Of The argument. SO
with the moral feature Of the question.
The prison statistics of the State OF CAL
ilornia and San Francisco show the av-
erage OF crime among Cinnamon to be
lower than among the rest Of the popu-
lation."

Toombs spoke at Abbcvillo, S. c., last

said a few months since, when he was
asked if he would accept the nomination
for Congress : "It every man, woman
ard child in this district was to rise up

il hate the Government of the United
States, and would give up my life to

THE Cincinnati Times says: Without
New York Tilden's hopes are buried, and
we now see the cunning Of the attempt to
repeal the election law. That law is the
great obstacle against frauds IN New
York city, and the attempt at repeal and
the method adopted were infamous
They picked out the Appropriation bill
which provides for the support Of aged
seamen and soldiers and fastened their
desired repeal on that, thinking that Re
pu6lcans would not dare defeat so sacred
an appropriation. A rule OF ninety years
standing in our Congress, and OF two
hundred years standing in the British
Parliament forbade any such union Of Il
general measure with an appropriation
bill, but this sacred rule they deliberately
set aside, determined that this Appropr-
alton till should be defeated or the way
made easy for their election frauds. But
the Republican Senate stood out and the
infamous scheme failed

VINO IS RESPONSIBLE BY record of
the Legislature of 1852, says the Oakland
Ird"scrpt it appears that the Demo-
cratic party requested the General Gov
ernment to send commission to China
to set forth to the people thereof tie ben
eiits Of emigration to this State and coun-
try. Chinese labor was then deemed
and Philip Roach and John S. Hager,
members Of the Legislature in 1852, voted
for the appointment Of this Chinese Com
mission. And now these men arc telling
the people that the Republicans are re-
sponsibe for the presence Of John China
man, and the Republicans are in favor of
keeping up Chinese immigration.

"a CHANGE" OF OVER % PER CENT.
The Brooklyn argus, n Democratic pa
per, takes notice of the Colorado election
in the following words: 1T is now con
ceded that the Republicans have carried
Colorado by about 2,500 majority. This
result indicates one Of the greatest pro-
porlonate changes in so short time that
has ever occurred in the country. 1t
must be remem 5ered that the total vote
Of Colorado in 1875 was but Ii, ,503. The
Democratic majority then was 2,1G3, or
u per cent. This majority has been
wiped out, and n larger one placed on
the other sde-a Republican gain Of over
1000, or % per cent. in sirg year.
This is almost equal to the change in
Massachusetts in 1874, which was 80 per
cent. 1t does not look very much like Il
tidal wave for Tiden in the West.
Colorado was elias .ed among the doubtful
States by most newspapers"

told that within thiteen years the very
men who fed before the victorious col

would hade denounced the statement as
unworthy Of belief. Yet such are the
facts and the nation waits with batcd
breath for the result Of the ballot that is
to determine whether the loyal men who
saved the nation are to continue to rule

THE campaign just closed in Indiana
was one Of the hottest ever held in the
State. Business of all kinds must have
been suspended for month past, and
politics all the go. An idea of the ex-
citement and stir in that State during the
campaign just closed may be gathered
by the following extract from a letter
written at indianapolis. The writer
says: " The most remarkable feature Of
the campaign on the Democratic side is a
cavalcade which started the other day
from place called Washington, in
Daviess county, to make the circuit Of
all Blue Jeans Congressional district
II consists Of 100 farmers wagons, filled
with admirers OF Blue Jeans a gaily
dressed guard of 200 horsemen, eighty
young ladies as a glee club, brass band
and host of banners. They take along

their own cattle and trust to the neigh
boring farmers for smaller fxings. |

PAUsING for a moment in their pious
CALCULATIONS, the Democratic journals
have charg that Colonel Ingersoll was
Il Democrat a few years ago, and faith
fully supported Democratic mea ures.
The Colonel replies promptly, with a
quotation from bis private history. lie
says he was Douglas Democrat in 1860,
and was running for Congress on that
ticket. Some Of the "wheel horses " be-
came alarmed at his uncomplimentary
aIIusions to the fugitive slave law, and
asked him if he could not support that
party measure. His reply settled their
doubts: Gentlemen, if ever | step tc-
tween any man and hi, liberty, / hope
God Almighty with his thunderbolts will
dash me 10 hell !" In 1861 he LEFT the
Democratic party, AID has since been a

DON'T MENTION IT.-The Santa Rosa
Democrat denies the statement-which
by the way is pretty well autheutica!e1-
that Luttrell ran Barclay Henley off the
Congressional track. This, however, is
none Of our funeral for we don't care a
c, S If he did but the Democrat proceeds
with the assertion, "Mr. Henley, we
know, is earnestly in favor of the election
Of Mr.. Luttrel, and any report to the
contrary is false" Such may be the
case, but in his late speech here, Mr..
Henley, apparently studiously avoided
any reference whatever to Mr.. Luttrell,
and if he is earnestly in favor OF Luttlell's
election, he certainly took good care to
keep it to himself. But then the less be
says in mans favor may help him, snd
perhaps in his earnestness Mr.. Henley
took this view Of the situation.
