1t will be remembered that Hayes

The great issue before the country just
at this moment is that OF the Republican
party against saving of forty millions OF

The assumption that Hayes has never
been beaten Is false one. In 1877 he
ran for Congress in Cincinnati against
Gen. Il. B. Banning. The vote stood:

done, can be and will be done again.
The Republican newspapers are trying
to make record for Hayes. But they
cannot make one for him as a Reformer-
Yet such record is pronounced indis-
pcnsable to success, by Reform Republl-
cans. How, then, can they support HIM?
No sincere Reformer will do so.
Hayes and Wheeler are both salary

latter under the late infamous measure.
Even August Belmont relents little
and asks for repeal of the Resumption
Act. While this is the fact, and when
the New York World will publish fair
and brilliant sketch of the life and public
services of William Allen, there is rea-
son to hope that the brethren may dwell
together in unity, that the lion and the
lamb may lie down together on the banks
of the Mississippi.-Cincinnah Enquirer.
The editor of the Columbus Journal is
modest patriot. After having noml-
mated Hayes, he has but one favor TO ask
in the event that Ohio's "iavorite son" is
sent to the White House. 1t is this:
He wants Private Dalzell detailed on
some perilous GRAND to the interior OF
Madagascar, where the good old practice
of cannibalism is still in vogue. We
protest. The Private is useful man,
and is one of the early discoveries OF
Hayes. He should be made custodian OF
the boot jack.-Enquirer.
HAYES was not the great unknown,
Grant knew him all the time.
The Graphic makes William A.
Wheeler cress-eyed. That's what's the
matter with the platform.

is at tslheight."
When Hayes is elected President he

The Indianapolis SIN is the organ Of
the Independent Greenback party. The
Sun is against Governor Hayes, and says
"the starving miners whom he compelled
to submit to starvation, at the point Of
the bayonet," will not vote for him.
The Utica Observer, pub ished in the
town where Roscoe Conkllng lives, says {:
ut is conceded on all SIDES that MIR.
Hayes is an exceedingly nice sort OF a
man. Ben. Butler certitics to his honesty,
and Schuyler Colfax to his piety. But
if he waits for Utica to 'enthuse' him into
the White House he will be the senior OF
Methuseleh by several centuries before
he gets there"
The Tribune, having about made up its
mind to support the Republican ticket,
is somewhat discouraged and scandalized
by the appointment of Fisher. 1t says:
Here is case In which the Republican
party certainly cannot allow General
Grant the qualification he demands. The
Senate must reject the nomination with
out an hours unnecessary delay" But
is it that kind of Senator
