When the anti-Bristow interest
besought Chandler to accept the
craftsmanship of the national Re-
publican committee, Grant said to
his faithful crony: 81 think it
would be a quiet and proper way
of showing that the administration
likes the candidate, if you, as my
secretary, would accept" Now,
will Mr.. Hayes tell us whether his
civil service broom would have its
straws too wide apart to catch this
lump OF lead in the leaven of re-
form? Most of the country think
Chandler a man of the worst type
in politics; how is it that he heads
the Hayes battleg If Hayes were
successful, would he relegate this
chief agent to the rear! 1t isn't
customary to send the general OF
successful campaign to the rear,
nor is it customary to set aside the
soldiers who have fought the fight
and bear the scars. Yet this is
what Hayes protests he means to
do, because to bring about reform
that must be done.

the effects of the law which was re-
pealed.
What was Gov. Hayes doing
while these leeches were prosecu-
ting their schemes to defrand the
people? That amiable gentleman
was doing nothing at all. The men
who were engaged in the service
of the ring were politicians of in
fiuence. Gov. Hayes is not the
man to make enemies of such SER
yiceable friends and so he looked
on without moving a finger, and
permitted a measure to pass which
involved the robbery of the people
of Ohio to the amount of several
hundred thousand dollars annually,
and signed the bill without a word
of protest, and the people of Ohio
this fall viii empbatically express
their opinion of such reform as that
AS the Cincinnati Commercial
said at the time the repeating bill
was passed: "Gov. Hayes has
lost glorious opportunity of prov
ing himselfa good reform candidate
for President by not raising his
voice against this iniquity."

writing to friend in Detroit, says
in the course of his letter;
i have only a moment to devote
to you, but | cannot remain silent
any longer. Failing to get my
man, Bristow, will take yours, Til
den, and will in my feeble way,
help to elect him. There is no
reasonable ground for assuming
that the present managers of the
Republican party are either willing
to correct the existing evils, or
capable of doing so were they al
lowed another four years. ] see a
hope in Tilden. He gives forth no
uncertain sound. There is a clear
ring in his utterances that carries
confidence. The election of Hayes
| regard as third term for Grant.
1t means nothing else.

A Washington letter says that a
81 900 clerk went through the land
Office the other day levying the
POLITICAL assessments on the clerks
for the Presidential campaign
The male employees are assessed at
the rate of twenty per cent. on
their salaries. Redpath carried
with him two lists, and informed
the employees that he was expressly
ordered by Secretary Chandler to
put upon one list for dismissal all
who refused to pay. Some plead
ed inability to pay on account of
their large families, and some re-
fused, but were told they would be
dismissed. The commissioner of
the land office headed the list with
a subscription of eighty dollars
They were hurrying up these as
sessments, and wanted to get them
collected before the pending legis-
lation becomes q law, because it
contains section which makes il
a penal offense for any person to
solicit an employee of the govern
ment to pay an assessment levied
for POLITICAL purposes.

The Richmond Wing closes re-
view of Governor Tilden's letter of
acceptance as follows: "Four years
of an administration under the i'm
pulse of such principles as these
would show MS a new north and a
new south, with restored industries,
with new and vast developments in
wealth, with a constitutional union
buttressed to the contented and
happy hearts of both north and
south.
"Then Virginia, in the language
of sargent S. Prentice, would see
star glitter opposite her name on
the national banner, and the stripes
of radical reconstruction recede
forever from her eyes"
