National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-07-21

We REGRET exceedingly to have to state
that it is evidently the duty of the National
Executive Committee to at once withdraw
the name of Governor Hayes as the Re
publican candidate for President. But an
insuperable objection to his remaining has
been discovered. 1t required the genius
of Henry Watterson, of the C0urisr-Jour-
nal, 10 make the discovery, and the bril-
liant light and wit of the Baltimore Ga
zctte to render it impossible for Governor
Hayes to be retained on the ticket. His
sin has found him out. He wears "a shin
ing silk hat, well brushed" He even has
the audacity to appear in public, clothed
Sin a well cut broadcloth coat" Still
worse than this, CHS vest is of the latest
STYLE" and "his pants show that they are
the work of an artist" But Governor
Hayes commits even more monstroIs
sin. "He wears patent leather shoes" Does
the history of this country give the record
Of man guilty Of greater crimes than
these? Dare the Republican committee
continue him as their candidate AFTER this
exposure? We must not. The villainy of
Tweed and his partner, Tilden; the steal
ing of two or three railroads; the robbing
of few hundred workmen of their hard
earnings by the issue of shinplasters; the
deliberate swindling of the people of New
York out of their suffrages, and count
ing in Hoffman when Griswold was elected
Governor, all done by Governor Tilden,
sinks into insignifcance before the enor-
nifty of the crime Governor Hayes commits
in wearing good clothes. Lincoln, Ham
lin, Grant and johnson are cited as prece-
dents to prove that Republican candidates
and Presidents never have worn good
clothes, and to further prove the en9fnity
Of the crime, it shows thai the Demo
cratic papers are earnest in hunting up
the record Of Governor Hayes. he has
been dominated a whole month. and
l2~that short time the industry of all these
knights of the pencil and shears has dis
covered and announced these terrible
crimes. Think of what others would be
unearthed before the election should he be
continued as our candidate. We shudder as
we reflect upon the possibilities. The
man against whom these enormous crimes
can be proven in one month after his nomi-
nation is evidently unfit to be q candidate.
The Democratic orators and papers would
dilate upon the fact that our candidate
wears ''good clothes" in such terms that
no Republican could answer them. They
would hold up TO the public scorn the
reprobate who dared ito wear good
clothes as warning to the youth of the
country not TO be guilty of such crimes.
His patent leather shoes" and his ''shin-
ing silk hat would be made to point
moral and adorn tale. Let no guilty
man cscanen

THE ISLANDERS in circulation about Pfesi-
dent Grants habits, the condition of his
health and his disinclination to attend to
the duties of his Office are simply and in
famously false. The report that he de-
clined to sign bills passed by Congress, and
allowed them to become laws by the expi-
ration of the ten days Constitutional limit,
is sufficiently contradicted by the fact that
On the very day when that report was writ
ten he signed large number of bills,
among others the one for the pavement of
Pennsylvani8 avenue.

LAMAR's crocodile tears over the Ham
burg massacre are accepted by the Opoo-
sition as proof positive that he condemns
such acts privately as he does in public.
This will do as faint effort to make politi-
Cal capital against the overwhelming evi-
dence which exists that the Southern
Democracy is both directly and indirectly
guilty of these outbreaks; but the people
ut large understand the matter, and will
not hesitate to brand Lamar as a traitor
twice dyed and never 10 be forgiven.

THE malignity Of the ex -Confederates in
the House is now being developed against
Secretary Robson. They propose to i'm
peach him for alleged misdemeanor in
office. This is because he disdIins to seek
8 certificate of character" from the ex-rebel
generals who DOW aspire to control the
affairs of the nation. Partisan malice could
90 no further. There is not scintilla of
evidence against him, every bureau officer
in his Department having testified that he
never interfered with them in the matter
contracts in behalf of any especial interest
or person.

IT MUST be apparent even to the dull
apprehension Of the miserable newspaper
scribblers now engaged in maliguing the
President that he is no longer Legitimate
object of partisan assault. He is not
candidate for re election, nor is he an as
pirant for further public honor. However
it may have been in the past, it is certain
now that these disreputables have not even
the poor excuse of doing their duty to the
Democratic cause when they print their
manifold lies about him.

WHY DON'T the ex- Confederate House
appoint a committee to investigate the
Hamburg affair? Sam Cox would make a
good chairman for such a committee, and
Smalls might be selected as a minority
member. These two honorable gentlemen,
while they may disagree on some points.
would be certain to reach the bottom facts.
Cox would represent the carpet-bag ele-
ment and Smslls the natives.

sentative and by every dough-face Northern
Democrat whose sympathies were with
the cause of secession. They fought
earnestly and long, but inch by
inch these gentlemen from Dixie,
aided and abetted by an ex-rebel constituency,
commended the ground. They were in the ma
jority, and after tedious struggle the Repub-
licans yielded that which in justice to the loyal
element of the country they ought not to have
yielded, and once more the Confederates fur
nished the North with a Bull Run. These
gradual innovations Of the ex-Confederates In
the House and their constituency in the South
are becoming more and more marked. They
closed the doors of these archives with wild
cry of economy, which was as false as 1t was
unjust. Year after year these archives have
been the fountain head of evidence from which
the Government has CLEANED facts that have
thwarted hundreds of bogus claims and saved
millions to the taxpayers of the country
Loyal men the land over do not desire to pay
claims to men who spent their best energies in
the attempt to destroy the Republic, and
when these ex-Confederate generals, in the
face Of this desire, lock up the only protection
they have to protect it, they do that which
will bring retribution as frought with politi-
cal punishment as the atmosphere is with in
sufTerable heat.
The Ohio Sdtc Journal says "Some years
ago Governor Hendricks and Governor Baker
were rival candidates for Governor of Indiana.
On the evening Of the election, the first dis
patches which were received indicated Hen
bricks triumph. Going out upon a balcony
where Governor Baker was sitting, the wife
of Governor Hendricks said: Governor, pro-
pose to sleep with the next Governor of Indi-
ana tonight To which Baker replied
gravely, Madame, if the arrangement is salts
factory to Mrs. Baker, 1 shall feel most highly
complimented.' The full returns showed that
Baker was elected, and Mrs. Hendricks post
poned her design for a number of years."

The Democratic members Of the Naval Com
mittce will go down into history as the most
partisan, unfair and scheming men that were
ever honored with places on the House COM
mittees. Their recent work has been notori-
ously underhanded and unjust, and by their
inconsistent and partisan manipulation OF CON-
mittee affairs they have won more friends for
Mr.. Robson than fuisome praise and eulogy
could possibly have done.

the presentation of unlawful and improper
claims, urged tn" appropriation of the meagre
sum of $4,000 for the purpose of so arranging
the records in these rebel archives as to facili-

those who might present claims upon false
grounds of fidelity to the Union during our
great civil strife. In this honest effort they

The curate promised To attend to the

censuring the conduct of the curate: oh
