fully third of the recruits, especially
the granger ones, brought their money
with them. Nelson LIE Roy was boy
Of nnthinking years and careless habits.
AS he went into action be entrusted his
money in bulk to his colonel. as was
done universally in every regiment IN
the field. The boy neve. came out OF
the action alive. Years passed and
quite incidentally some of his compan-
ions in conversation with his :ather, men
toned the money which had been given
the colonel. The :sther, ignorant OF the
fact, makes inquiry. He writes TO the
bows colonel, Rutherford b. Hayes, then
Just elected Governor of Ohio. The
governor responds that he never knew OF
such boy. The father procurcs atiidsv-
its and forwards them to the Governor.
He then remembers the boy, but never
received the money. The father
strengthens the case and forwards the re-
suit. The governor has another lapse,
and no recollection O! boy or money, and
thinks the il quiring parent must be im-
posing on him. Finally suit beng threat
ened. he does find out that there wassuch
a person; that he did have money, and
that the money had been intrusted to
him (Hsyes), out he had returned 1t to
the boy before thei battle.
1t il: as :repugnant to The Times as
it is vi gracious ,to,point out the utter
lack of manliness on sthe part of Gov.
Hayes, to say aothin g of the deeper con.
sideration behind all this. He had been
asked civilly, as the letters show, by the
father of the dead boy to explain
the circumstances, when he re-
turns bare line that he knows
nothing, and cannot be annoyed.
The subsequent discovery of the startling
and corroborative proofs in the possession
of LIE Roy, forced him to an examins-
ton of the subject, when he is made TO
remember that he did know the BOY; did
receive the money, but returned I'll Yet
there are two witnesses at least that saw
the money 60 to hun and saw the soldier
die, before be could get a chance TO re-
turn i'll Gov. Hayes may be, and will be,
we trust, able to dlspel this frlghtful
stain from his reputation. He has him
self to blame, however, if it shall be a
more difficult matter to regain public
confidence, since other charges almost
as terrible are hanging unanswered
against him. Fine character and stand
ing 90 long way in the governors
favor, but he must bear in mind that a
year ago such charge as bribery brought
against, General Belknsp would have
been read with indignant incredulity by
friends and foes alike. Had the tax I'M
parchment and the Harper story re-
ceived the categorical and detailed treat
ment presented in Sinnott's refutation,
the present charge, though it might
startle and puzzle the people, would not
have shaken their faith so badly in the
character of generally respected citizen.

Gov Hayes Charged Win Accepting
Money Belonging 10 Dead Soldier
He Denies, then EquivOcates, and
Finally Confesses.
From the Chicago Times.
Gov Hayes was not fairly warm in his
shoes as candidate for. president when
a chaplain who had served with him in
West Virginia told startling story of
money not accounted for by him when
he was in comm and of brigade in that
state. He doesn't seem 70 have made
thel statement puplic IN the usual
campaign way, as he is of the governors
marty. snd even in its publicity it came
rather as d demand that could be salts
fsctorily explained, and the money res
tituted, than as an evil communication
which should damage an implicitly
trusted public man. Inc statements
were strong and close, and the corrobor-
alton fairly startling, but on the explicit
denial of the governor that ne had put
the money to his own use, the puolc
dropped the matter with annuuessy con-
yiction that all might be right, but That
a more thorough explanation would have
been more satisfactory. The amazing
facts presented this morning revive the
previous story with chilling force. The
facts are simple, credibly attested, and
apparently unans werable. Nelson LIE
Roy, lad killed at the battle OF Win
chester, before going into action was pos
sessed of $1,000 in bounty money. A.
every soldier knows, in the latter years
ofthe war, the recruits were paid their
government and state bounties just as
they were about to leave for the field,
in order that they might not be plum
dered by the harpies that at an earlier
day beset the camps to plllage the care
less recruits. II is true that provision
was made for remitting the money at
once to such address rs the soldier de-
sired, but it is we'll known to those who
served in the volunteer regiments that

These figures show that the Republican
majority outside Of the city, il fully poll
ed, Is more than 10000 over the largest
vote ever cast By Democrats and Liberals
combined. But it shows also that the
Republicans alone, without Liberal aid,
have about $4,000 votes in this city, and
the Democrats, even when $4,000 votes
were impudently added to all that repeat
ers had done, had never pretended to cast
ia ,OO0in the city. We viii have full vote
this year. The ballot box is so protected
BY legislation which Mr.. Greeley de.
manded after the election Of 1858, and
which is largely due to his efforts tina!
the Democrats will not be permitted to
add %, 900 votes to the returns. Neither
can they retain the Liberals who made
up their aggregate in 1874. Where are
votes coming from to elect Mr.. Tilden?
1t will be said that thousands Of sub.
stantial business r1en who are Democrats,
but disttusted the financial results Of the
success Of that party, voted the Republi.
can ticket in 1872. That is true, and they
will do the same thing again, having in
fnitely better reason to distrust their
party, and to fear its success. Many are
known. They say frankly that the re-
peal Of the resumption act means such
uncertainty, and such disaster TO bust.
uess, that they dare not vote for party
pledged to that step. They say, more
over, that Mr.. Tilden, who has been un.
able to curb his party in this reckless
and shameful demand, will not be able to
control it when war claims by the thous.
and millions come forward 70 bankrupt
the treasury. Business needs security.
To permit Democratic success, just
when there Is 4 beginning Of improve.
ment, would be utter folly. That folly
the business men Of this city and State
are not going to commit.
