1t is often asked by Democratic
politicians, what has Gov. Hayes ev-
er done for reform?" Well, his deeds
are not numerous but they speak for
themselves-it is the quality and not
the quantity Of mans acts which
truly Judge him. From 1854 to 1860
Gov. Hayes opposed with all his in
fiuence the inroads attempted to be
made on the territories by the system
Of human slavery, thereby declaring
that the evil was and should remain
sectional, and that the great free
prairies belonged to freedom. Again,
when the South took up the arbitra-
ment OF war to decide their peculiar
rights" Gov. Hayes tried for four
bloody years to reform" them, offer
ing his life willing sacrifice in this

This is good year for demagogues
and the number of them is legion.
They charge all the ills and discom-
forts OF society and individuals to the
blunders and recklessness of the Re-
publican party. The rains and storms,
the failure Of crops for the last three
years, are all the result OF NAL admin
istrationl Democratic demagogues
are now in clover. Some of them are
lawyers. Their hearts yearn with
sympathy for the oppressed mechan-
ic who has no work. They weep over
them and beg them to support Til
den, Hendricks and reform, and thus
keep the wolf from the doorl The
braying OF these demoniac dema-
gogues as they go up and down in
the land, calls to mind the scriptural
inquiry: "Who hath set the wild ass
free? Or who hath loosed the bands
OF the wild ass?-Peru Republican.
The Cincinnati Enquirer. not long
er ago than June 9th, 1876, expressed
the following opinions Of Samual j.
Tilden: "There are few facts con-
corning Mr.. Tilden which we trust
will sink into the minds Of Western
and Southern Democrats.
He is hypocrite, "a political scoun-
drsl, has long been public plumber
er, and is really the only disreputable
candidate prominently named on the
Democratic side" The same journal
remarked further in regard TO Mr..
Tilden: "If elected he would take to
the White House the worse set OF po-
litical jobbers and thieves ever seen
in Washington, and that is saying a
good deal. 1t could not but be that
a man educated in cunping. in hypoc-
risy, and in iniquity, and nominated
in corruption and shameless effront-
cry, even though his millions could
elect him, would give us the most
corrupt administration the country
has ever known"

lures connected with the convention,
which deserve comment. Besides
the convention, the q. B. church held
their quarterly meeting at this place
on Saturday and Sunday, which was
largely attended. Elder Castle de-
livered an interesting discourse on
Sunday morning, and explained the
mode Of dress that true Christians
should wear, at the same time asking
all to attend church, whether their
costume was of purple and fine linen,
or OF less gaudy appearance.

in a most shameful manner, and it
was not until help was procured that
she could get rid of him. The same
evening some fellows went out to
wrestle, and as usual one got mad be-
cause he got "grassed," and this
caused a general riot. including hal:
a dozen straight strikers" So hard
did they hit. that numerous noses and
eyes got badly pealed.
On Saturday evening the Hayes
& Wheeler club met as usual, but the
audience was not as large as the
week previous. The martial band
played a few stirring pieces, which
was followed by the glee club, but as
the man who owned the organ lost
his patriotism on that evening, they
sang without an instrument. w. B.
Hess entertained the people for an
hour and half on the topics Of the
day, and brought forth some peril
nent points that have been hereto
fore overlooked. Some drunken.
thoughtless person molested many OF
the listeners by talking out on the
sidewalk.

by your Philadelphia correspondence that

never been divorsed from John; but that is
no reason why his wife should not present
him with small boy.
