The probabilities r very string
that Gov. Hayes is not going to have
very plain sailing in Ohio. Last year
when he was a candidate for Govern
or a large number of Republicans did
not like his position on the finances.
He stumped the entire State, as is
well known, and said but little on the
question. His plan was this. He
would go to the prominent Republi-
cans who .disliked his hard. money
views, and assure them that he was in
favor of the repealof the Resumption
Act. This assured them and they
went to work for him and in this way
he got the votes of nearly all the an
ti-forced- Resumption Republicans in
the State and saved his election
Since then he has declared not only
for the Resumption Act, but for i'm.
mediate resumption. His perfdy il
this respect has driven all the anti
Resumption Republicans in the Stat
into antagonism and the prominent
among them declared that they viii
not vote for him under any circum
s4ances.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

The Republicans propose to elect
Hayes President in place of Grant.
The whole number of public officers
is estimated to be eighty thousand.
One is to be changed, and seventy
nine thousand nine bundled and
~ninety-niDe left in! One drop in the
pail of sour milk is to be changed;
will that make the whole pail SWEET
Whereas, if Tilden-is elected, the
great majority of the public officers
will stand not upon the order of their
going, but go at once This would
be civil service reform in earnest;
not a reform of one-eighty-thou.
sandth part, but a reform of the
whole body. This view of the mat
ter makes it very plain how electors
who want to give their support tc
reform should vote. Those who de
sire one-eighty-thousandth part O
reform can vote for Hayes; while
those who are for entire reform vii
vote for Tilden.

Hon. John A. MoMahon.

AT a conference held at Dayton,
Wednesday, July 10th, of the several
Democratic committees of the 4th
Congressional District, it was agreed
that inasmuch as the Hon. JOHN A.
MCMAHON had consented to be a
candidate for Congress, and there
being no candidate in the party in
opposition to him, it was deemed in
expedient to hold a CongressionaI
Convention. BY common consent Of
the whole Democratic party of the
District this action will no doubt BIZ
ratified. Considerable time and ex
peDse would necessary follow the call
ing of a Convention, and Mr.. Nc
MAHoN being the unanimous choic'
precludes the necessity of a Conven
ton.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

If Hayes could be elected Presi-
dent, he would be little less than the
automaton of the leaders who made
the combination at Cincinnati
They would own him absolutely,
make his Cabinet, shape his policy,
direct his nominations, and control
the patronage exactly as they do un-
der Grant. There would be change
of names and nothing more. One
osyable substituted for another as
President. That is all.

The Republicans are going to fight
this contest on the tactics of the os-
trich which when pursued, burries its
head in the sand and imagines it is
concealed from view. Hayes is as
complete a nobody as was eve put at
the head OF Presidential ticket, and
while there is but little to attract
public attention to him, the big ugly
carcass of the Republican party Gov.
cred over with fostering corruption,
stands prominently in view, ard upon
it the vengeance of an outraged peo-
pie will set with consuming power.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

Hayes is a Republican fully iden-
titled with Grantism. He never ut
tered a word of protest against Re-
publican corruption in his life. If
he is elected thieves will continue to
run the government machinery.
There is a distinction between Hayes
and Grant, but no difference.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

This is the profession of the Re
publican party:
The invariable rule for appoint
ments should have reference to the
honesty, fidelity and capacity Of APP
pointees.
What has been its practice2 Let
Belknap, Babcock, Mcdonald, Joyce,
Casey, Ames, and the whole crewsoi
them who are or ought to be in Jail
answer.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

In 1856 the salary of Congressman
was raised from $4,000 to S., 900 by a
rider to the Soldiers Bounty bill.
Ruthford B. Hayes took back pay and
when he came before the people for
reelection was beaten by about ], 500
majority in a district which had been
largely Republican. The Republican
ticket therefore is composed of salary
grab and railroad subsidy.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

Governor Hayes letter of accept
ance is like its author, "too thin" to
make converts; too weak to make en-
thusiasm; too evasive to make party
strength, too fixed up to make any
reasonable man believe it is the hon
est expression of the opinions of On
honest man.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

The Republican newspapers are
trying to make a record for Hayes.
But they cannot make one for him as
a Reformer. Yet such a record is
pronounced indispensable to success
by Reform Republicans. How, then,
can they support him? No sincere
Reformer will do SO.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

HAYES is not near SO strong, when
the matter is analysed, as he receives
credit for being. When elected Gov
ernor in 1867 andI869 he had major
tiles given the party the previous
year of over forty thousand to back
him, and yet he was only elected by
the skin of his teeth. Last year he
went through by having the worst
passions and prejudIces of the people
aroused, and barely got through even
then. There is nothing strong in his
composition save his negative quail
ties, if they may be denominated
strong, and we firmly believe that he
will be defeated this fall as surely as
the day of election arrives.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

COLLINS had the effrontery and i'm
prudence last Saturday night to asso-
ciate Speaker KERR and Hon. GEO.
H. PENDLEToN, with such public rob-
bers and convicted thieves as Bah
cock, Belknap, Shepherd, and the
whole crew of Republican pirates.
He is the checklist speaker we ever
heard. He wants to be a Congress
man. He has the cheek.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

We have never known a period in
the political history Of the country,
when the masses were more deter
minedthan they are just at this time,
to think and act for themselves in
dependent of leaders, caucuses or
conventions.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

1t is all wrong to charge the Pres
ident with the entire responsibility
of his peculiar and disreputable APP
pointments. He has made no ap-
pointment that has not been endors-
ed by the party through its aecredi-
ted representatives in the Senate.
The party is responsible.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

BY bare-faced lieing about the
Democrats and the war, Barney Col
Inns no doubt convinced every Re-
publican that heard him last Satur-

honest government the Republican
thieves and robbers should be con-
tinued in power.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

The issue in the present Presiden-
tial campaign is, shall the corruption
of the Republican party be endorsed
by the election of Hayes, or shall
honest government be restored by
the election of a Democrat.

men in the Federal Administration,
demands reform in the Government,

he does what he says, and says what
he means. Hendricks is the states
man of the West, who has large ex-
perience, is an honest, able, fearless
man, of strong convictions. There

In his letter of accepting the NOM
nation Hayes accepts the platform
adopted by the convention that nomi
mated him; the platform accepts
Grants administration as entitled to
the hearty gratitude of the Republi-
can party. Therefore those who ac-
cept Hayes, accepts a platform that
accepts Grants administration, in
Guiding Grantism pure and simple.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-27

So far as Governor Hayes has ex-
pressed himself up to this time he
doesn't Seem to think there is much
need of reform in the radical party;
which is discouraging.
