That Mr.. Blaine was the choice of a
minority of the Republicans of the
United States, not even Don Cameron,
or the most impudent of those who
cheated them out OF their rights, and
subverted their will, have so far denied.
Thus was the sale of the State, by
Don Cameron, consummated. He paid
for his office by cooping the Pcnnsyl.

Not even the talents and the admitted
superiority of intellect of Mr.. Blaine
could save the admitted iavorite of the
people from sacrifice at the altar OF

OF the Union, but for that reason he

The nomination of Hayes was deter.
mined upon by them months ago,
Grant having the patronage and the
$4,000 TO 10000 Office holders, standing
through his appointment at the door
of the National Treasury, headed the
greedy and aristocratio army and he
was tho head and front of the con.

The first Indication Of the selection
of Hayes as the intended candidate,
was the appointment as Secretary OF

Of remonstrances, appointed his per-

A Coop TEsT.-The editor Of the
Cambria Freeman says; 1t is noted as
a significant fact, and one worthy OF
special attention at this time, that in
the political history of the country il
has never been known TO fail that the
party which has had tho good fortune
to secure majority in the national
House of Representatives two years
preceding a Presidential election, has
invariably elected its candidate tor
President. That there will be no OK
ception to this rule in the present con
test we feel perfectly safe in concluding
as the Democratic majority in the
House has fully merited the confidence
of the country by investigating the
corruptions and iniquities of the ad.
ministration, by exposing and impcach.
ing dishonest officials, and by reducing
the public expenditures to the enor-
nous amount of nearly s40,OO0Oeo in
one year.
