rife TO the causes, but nothing certain Is known
as yet
The President Yesterday sent to the Senate the
nomination OF l. n Tyner, Of Indiana, the second
assistant postnastergeneral, 20 be PostmasterGen-
eral, Utce Jewell, resigned.
The supporters OF the Cincinnati nominations as
sure Us that il Hayes elected President We shall
have an ent re change IN tie gogernm ut and rttorn
IN every department. and SPEEDY return TO the hon
esty and simplicity of our cary days We need only
10 look over the list OF names Nho are managing ms
canvass TO be FULLY convinced that the pledges male
at Cincinnati are 10 be fully carried out.
The following are few OF the TeiOTiners who are
striving elect HAYES and purify the government:
Schuyler Coiax formerly Vice President, VII stump
Indiana in behalf OF the great cause of repu Eeln
reform. Mr.. Lincoln us=d TO describe schuyler as
the little squirrel who always carrying nuts 10
his own hole He was ia a the railroad swindles,
} a lalg. Apta-f hr4lg MIENlIlr
there Is little doubt lie committed perjury u clear
himself in the investigation VIII followed Colum-
bus Deano promises OslO by an overwhelming
maj0ri V. He Grants fAVOrIte Cabinet officer,
but when the democratic Rouse began investigating
he wisely got out OF tie way, Grant giving him
certificate of good character. EX-Attorney General
Williams promise, that IN Oregon lie Will take the
field as the campaign opens he WAS Grants
first choice for chief justice but the Senate had too
much decency 10 confirm him. He Is the man
who put his Land INTO tine contingent fund of the
department Of justice, an: used the money to buy
lIuiauletS TO cut n figure IN Washington society.
II uayes is elected, ne wall probably make him
attOrney-g neral again IN the of reform.
EX-SecIetaTy Belknap Is also enthusiastic for Hsyes
and hopes TO him elected as the reform candidate.
Boss Shepherd, wto has more influence with Grant
than all the Cabinet oombrei thinks Hayes Is 4
ond Lincoln, and will contribute literally towards
his election. lie Is the most distinguished TctOrmer
IN the country he reformed the district OF Columbia
10 the tune Of S-OOOO,OJ0 Indebtedness, the larger
portion of which found It's way into the pockeis of
the District ring. General Benjamin Franklin Bnt-
ler of Massachusetts,, Is anOt.er Hayes rvfOTmer.
Buffers interest IN pure government Is exceedingly
touching and really beautiful. II Hayes is elected,
l;e Will probably make HIM secretary of state Oh,
what a reform there would De there my eountrymen,
Robt. c. Sclenck, believes the safety OF the country
depends upon the election OF Hayes He Will of
course see TO it that the American name Is Untar-
nished ab.oad and kept spotlessly bright at home.
Tom Murphy, Grants most intimate friend and
boon companion, would take the stump for Hayes if

e of It's necessity that he viii all the power OF the
government to accomplish it. DEI.
