PRINCIPLES AND MEN.


The political cry at one time was
"principles. not men," 1t seems
changed now, with some, to men, not
principles" whereas it should ever be
principles and men," Men without
principles are the nations curse. and
principles without men to carry them
out aye of no significance whatever. It's
fortunate for the country that in Gov
ernor Hayes there is presented man
who is stronger than the platform and
whose principles are sound and good
and who has always met every issue
squsrely and courageeusly, evading
nothing. Believing that the United
States is a nation, not a league; that
there should be reconciliation with all;
that the results of tho civil war should
be maintained; that all citizens are equal
before the law and should have equal
protection, and that all national obliga-
tons must be faithfully kept, he also
favors other measures that tend to
strengthen public confidence in our in
stitutions and to ensure the perpetuity
Of the Republic.
CURRENCY.
He believes in the resumption of specie
payment at the time provided by exist
ing law, or sooner, if possible, and is
opposed to any repeal of the Resumption
Act unless something is substituted
that will more sffectually bring about
specie payments as soon as the time pre-
scribed in that act
RgTEENCHaiENT AND ECONOMY.
He believes in thorough retrenchment
and judicious reduction in public ex-
penses, and in q wise and rigid economy
in all departments of the public service.
And as proof Of this We have his record
and his acts as Governor of Ohio.
During one of the hottest campaigns
even his political foes conceded that his
previous administrations and his Con.
gressional acts were wise and judicious,
tending TO retrenchment and economy,
by decreasing public expenses, lowering
the taxes, and diminishing the salaried
offices.
CHURCH AND STATE.
He believes in tho entire separation Of
church and state, and in combating the
clerical party which aims to unite
church and state and sectarianize our
schools. He says: I'VE all agree that
neither the Government nor political
parties ought to interfere with religious
sects. It il equally true that religious
sects ought not to interfere with the
Government or with political parties.
We believe that the cause of good Gov.
eminent and the cause Of religion both
suffer by all such interference.
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
He believes in maintaining . system
Of common schools which shall be free
forever, supported by money raised by
taxation of all. That there should be
no division Of the school fund among the
religious sects or denominations; that
education is . public necessity and
should be under the control of the State
to . certain extent; that every child
ought to receive a free. impartial and
unsectarian education. BE says: 1.-The
cheapness, SO that the poorest may &C.

"Come and take it," says Gelele,
king Of Dahomey, TO his British judges
when they demanded an indemnity for
outrages upon an Epglish trader.
"Come and take it in powder and lead. j"

reverberatiOn among the huts OF his

when his father died, threw all this il
the face of the British authorities, sent
the ghosts OF five hundred slaves eJ1
nlGsSe TO wait upon the ghost OF the
king, and resumed slave-bunting with q
will. At seasons ever since, be has been

English governor on the coast renewed
recently the demand that the butchery
be stopped, and bis Ambassador, Cap.
