Gov. TrLDEN has not yet written iet-
ter of acceptance, but he has cleaned oui

NEVER before, in our hundred yearsoi
cbanceful events, have we had a presI-
dent at the head of the government OF the
United States who has exhibited so much
personal hate and positive meanhes' III
his high Office. Pittsbwg Post.
FIRST impressions are everything IN
presenting tickets to the people. This Is
a. true of state and local tickets As II Is
of presidential tickets. The personal
and nplitical characters OF Tilden and
Hendricks are making tens of thousands
of votes for our ticket before the contest |
is fairly organized. Omaha Herald.
DoRsHEIMER TO the Bufialonians
mThe republicans are constantly asking |
f,r nroof that the south is loyal. They |
couId find il in the fervent desire of the
southern delegation at st. Louis to es-
tahlish clean government for you and
vour children. II was the southern men
that rallied around the banner of Tilden,
and to them you owe your victory"
WHEN business interests are no longer
chained by the suicidal craftsmanship
of the republican party, we shall find
natural prosperity in new south, and a
new north, but only change in the
government which will displace the mar
row.minded and corrupt clique now in
power can effect change so desirable.
Chicago Courier.
OVER 900 Federal soldiers are station
ed in the southern states, according to
the latest report sent into the house.
| This is within few hundred of the
number located in the territories, where
there is an urgent need fer troops. The
| little radical plan of massing the army
| in the gulf states for election purposes
will have to be abandoned The people
are thoroughly posted rs to where mill
tary service is needed, and they know it
is not in the south.
3AYARD TAYLOR swooped down from
Parnassus upon Philadelphia, and
tickled the sensibilities of his country
with the conundrum:
"Can she forget,
In present Joy, the burden OF her debt2n
There is so much of it that we really
don't believe she can. Twenty years age
she was as 1.-THE and disencumbered as q
deer; now she's got lump on her back
and tolls like dromedary. When she
comes down to rice, milk and potatoes
chops her own wood, knocks the bottom
out of the lap of luxury, and does hei
own washing and ironing, the hump will
begin to subside, Brooklyn Argus.
The history of Hayes shows that when
ever the opportunity has presented itsel
he has been an ultra partisan. He in
dorsed the partisan conduct of the legis
lature, which remodeled all our state in
stitutions 80 as to give the republicans 9
majority in the different boards. He ap
proved of the infamous legislation which
changed the police and fire department,
in this city, in order that his party might
, be put in control. These are few of the
acts which he has indorscd and approved
and shows what might be expected OF
him in a partisan way, if elected TO the
/, presidency. " -Clereland Plain Deaier.
ACCORDING to the New Orleans Times
in 1869, when Gen. Grant came int,
Office he found fifty-four thousand tw,
hundred and seven civil employees on tn,
, pay rolls In 1871 that number, undel
his administration, was increased to fifty
seven thousand six hundred and five. In
1873 he still further increased the pay
. roll to eighty-six thousand six hundred
/ and sixty. And in 1875 he ran it up tC
Al &c a.,
thousand one hundred and nineteen
But the Times does not explain this in
crease. 1t represents the number o
, brothers-in-law and cousins discovered
/ and provided for since 1869.
t PINcHBAcK will get the pay and mile
Q age which the senators proposed to Civ,
= him as a sop for the final slaughter of hi,
! hopes. As he never took his seat, anc
the vote of the republican senators de
| clared that he was never entitled to il
we regard the passage of the resolution
! as defiance to public opinion, and Al
\ outrage on the decency of legislation
4 We do not see much alteration in tn,
5 honest tendency of the republican "stric
; party vote" since Hayes succeeded
, Grant in the idolatry OF the roast-bee
) patriots.-N Y Herald.
2 THE letterof acceptance of Rutherfor,
Birchard Hayes is chiefly remarkable 70
3 its profuseness in the use of adjectives
: He talks about essential notifications,
5 "inhexible purpose and inseparabl
. uncertainty" but has not word to "a,
! about unparalleled corruption" of tn
r administration of which he is support
( er. He signs himself "fellow citizen,
but over his signature there is no wor'
of condemnation of Grantism, no expres
sion of desire for reform. He willingl
, stands upon the platform of the republ
; cans, and his whole letter of acceptanc
is, like himself, a passive, negative docu
J ment. more remarkable for what it doe
. not than what it does contain. II is
? weak production, notwithstanding al
the time and advice wasted upon it
~ Y E,press.
Nor only is the administration directl
responsible for any insufhciency tber
may be- in the force now operating OF
the frontier, it is directly responsible 10
the state of affairs which make it nece,
sary there should be any military opers
tons in that quarter. 1t is responsible
first, for what the New York Times yer
appropriately calls "the needless irrita
ton caused by the expedition into tn
Black Hills last summer" 1t is respon
sible for the absurd and vacillating polio
which has characterized the dealings O
the government with the Indians 70
the past ten years, and for the cheating
and swinding which have alieDated $
MANY even of the friendly Indians
