be excused from undertaking. The ser.
vice question before US seems TO resolve
Itself into this: whether genuine re.
form OF the evils that have been brought
on the country under the Republican ad-
ministration of the last eight wears is TO
be expected by continuing the same in
nuence In power. or whether It would
not be wiser to make a complete change
and entrust the prosecution of reform 10
a new set of men. The disclosures OF
the last few years distinctly prove that
while the existing organic atom has heen
honey-combed with corruption, which
not even the most earnest efforts of the
honest men OF the Republican party have
been etfectual to check. 1t is plain con-
s'deration the majority is not with
drawn from those men who have been
most deeply compromised by their con-
duct before the world. and that it has not
been placed in those who appear to have
been most strenuous and effici, Mt gentle.
men in policy of reform, have to say
in derogaton of Mr.. Hayes, but il seems
to me at least very singular, that in a
crisis like this, person should have
boon selrctsd who has thus far had no
record on this subject, and that not one
individual who had really committed
himself by his previous course to
the policy Of rrform should have
been seriously supported. By the

large majority, a man who, BY his en-
ergy and vigorous prosecution Of the diff.
icult and dangerous task OF reform in
his own State, bad given the strongest

will, but OF his power to meet emergency

ferocity of the wolves and tigers who feed
upon the offtl OF the public crib should
be vented on him. Their position only
goes to prove the justice of their viru-
lence. 1t should be born in the mind

What be has done is better pl- dye tn IN
all the epitnets in the dictionary. An
other strong opinion, in my mind, for
preferriug Mr.. TIlden is that the new
and clear policy towards the Southern
States may be inaugurated free from ALI

public men of the North who live by
