New YORK sun.
The majority for Hayes in halfa dozen
States is small; and in some OF these a
majority Of the State canvsssers are
Democrats.
Now, suppose these canvassers should
propose to throw out sufficient number
of Republican votes to give these States
to riIden simply because this would in-
sure the election, what would the Repub-
leans all over the country say?

AS II pack of williams who ought TO be IN
the penitentiary, and they would call
every man who justified their conduct a
scoundrel.

very feeble effort 1t that, to an
swer the charges made By 10 in our
issue Of the 10th. We charged that

our city, and cited to the records Of
our city court and the current talk

the statement. Theodiric,in bis COM
munIcation, denios our charge, but
produces NO evidence, no authority
for his statement. Surely he must

NO attack upon the municipal aa-
thor,tiss, on the contrary We made
N appeal to them in behalf Of our
people. Thsodirie further says,
"crime 10 ut . discosnt here" Good
heavens We think the history of
the past few weeks show it to be ut
. premium, and if no "serious in
fractions of the law have occurred,
the Citizens scribe 10 still aslssp.
Again, Thsodiric says "the city i
out of debit" We take positive is-
sue with him here, and state that
the city is not out of debt. If it is
out of debt, why is it that Mr. Chas.
Handy, the Banker, cannot got bis

The nomination, by the Republi-
cans of Hayes of Ohio and Wheeler
of New York, for the Presidency
and Vics-Presidency, is not only .
testimony that the reform meas
ures inauguratsd by tho Democrats
have struck the popular mind, but
10 also . rebuke to fraud and cor
ruption and their authors and az
ponents. It ID also & token that
the bloody shirt-waving mama has
no sympsthissrs outside of the
ranks Of bw political hacks who
hoped TO ride into place and power
beneath its ensanguined folds. If
the Democratic party had nothing
else to congratulate itsslf for, the
bsrs fAct that it has forced the Re-
Pablicaas to place their very best
men in nomination, is, of itself, cause
for graduation and Thanksgiving.
When the delegates At CineinnsG
dropped Morton, Blaine and Coax
ling. and placed in nomination
Hayes and Wheeler, they virtually
sudoessd the action Of the Democrst-
ic party, ia it's efforts to place
in retirement the representatives
and exponents of the administra-
tios; an admlnistr alton that has
lent all its powers and influence in
the interest Of and protection Of
thieves; that has violated the pro-
visions Of the Oonstitsti0n that ~
kspt the people of The ssvsrsi 49,

bayoasss the carpst-bag and robber

pressed and down trodden people.
Surely TIE Democrats Of the Ne

Ssstation Of tie effects Of their good

not have had . ghost of q chance.
Tho truth of the matter is the nom-
ination Of these men was not . mat
tor Of choice, it was . matter of
prime necessity, it was . matter OF
life and death.
The Democratic party 10 rcspoa-
sibls for tho Republican Presidsn-
tiAl ticket, tho Republicans arc en-.
titled to no praise, no credit, for

1t Is more than probable that the

was enjoined upon 1t before the

men of the Democratic party should
be placed in nomination. 70 dc
this, the two third rule must be

will not undertake to declare who
tho nominees will be, still. from the
signs Of the times, it 10 moro thar
