his income away back in 1863, they little
dreamed they were throwing boomer

knock the wind out of their own pet,
Ruthy Hayes; but such an event has
come to pass. Politics ia said to be

offsets. Here is one, and when the organs
of the bloody shirt have evened up the
account let them raise their voices and
inform an expectant public how much
they are ahead. Your correspondent

W Whatl Ruthy Hayes, the good, the
pious, the all that is eminently respecta-
BILE, purierer, a swlndler and that not
away back in 1868, but again and again
as late as 1874, 1876, and 1876? Yes,

MOTIF BE SUSPECTED,
Gov. Hayes is fraud Of the worst de-
scription, spenurious cheat, aid that III
the face of great fortune that came TO
him literally without an effort. But to
the facts. Old Sardis Birchard, Gov.
HAYES uncle died in January, 1874,
leaving his nephew all his property,
estimated at q valuation varying from
$4,000 to 100000. Aside from this
he bequeathed about $4,000 to various
parties, most OF them distant relatives.
| Uncle Birchard was
NONE TOO LIBERAL,
| in his estimates, but the last time he
listed his property under oath the total
reached the figure of 1882. This was
in 1873. In 1874, Gov. Hayes having
come into possession of every particle OF
mis- uncle's personal property, to which
ali he hsd previously held in his own
name must be added. listed the total at
1851. The following year, 1874, with
out having made
ANY SPECIAL ADDITION,
| he returned a total of S6.l2U, and last
year, in spite of the addition OF 5000
piano, of which no mention is made in
mis- return whatever, though specifically
required by law, he reduced the total to
| IS 26O. Now note the items. Gov. Hayes
mad received considerable fortune from
his wife, added to which was the great
wealth of his uncle, whose ready cash at
the time OF his death is estimated at from
$25, 900 TO $4,000, and yet
THE CONSCIENTIOUS CHRISTIAN
returned under the head OF money
grand total OF $le0. The two following
wears he went himself precisely 500 bet
ter. Is it not II curious coincidence that
he should have been worth for two years
on a certain day just precisely the same
sum, to.wt: $500 in ready cash2 In
the line of watches he returned one in
1874 which he valued at $500. The fol.
loving year the value of this time piece
was reduced to 5000, and the same this
year. Now it is known that
UNCLE BlRCHARD had A WATCH
left to Gov. Hayes by will. Did the un-
gracious nephew spout it? 1t is alao
known that Mrs. Hayes sports such
bauble. Why was no mention made OF
that? Now comes the clincher. Under
the head "all personal property not In
cluded in the enumerated items, ap.
pears in 1874, 81 900; in 1875, $500; IN
| 1876, n total of S4,5O0. In 1874 the ilg-
ure was 81 900. This covered mortgage
notes still on record, which should have
been given IN full every subsequent year,
sggregating over $4,000. Added to this

| total of Sl3 900, to which NJ least 81 700
or $4,000 of the household goods should
be added, and yet the total for 1874 is
but 81 900 increased to s6,l2O or S5,1l0,
respectively, in 1873 and 1876. The

There is no dodglng them. They repre-
sent specific SUN, every cent OF which,
according to law, should have been re-
turned Tor taxation, and yet Rutherford
B. HAYES, has affixed his signature under
oath to statement entirely ignoring
this item. More than likely some une-
tuous defenders OF the perjurer will
maintain that man OF

men. The $1,000 mortgage Tor term
of three three years may have been an
oversight, they will argue. Would such

The officials of the recorders office, never
dreaming of such state of things, were
utterly dumbfoundei on becoming aware
of this discovery, and acknowledged that

Governor Hayes as any ever presented
