himself lip to double his natural size, and
addressed Proctor Knott before the sub
judiciary committee a week or two ago.
To-day there is abundant evidence of
such communication, and Mr.. Blaine's
sincerity and honesty are at a discount
and under suspicion.
To-Day the government will distribute
twenty-five million dollars in gold,
which is the interest money it owes on
its public debt. Twenty-Five million dol
lars, and e tthere are people who think the
house Representative is wrong in insist
ing upon a reduction of expenses in the
running of the government machinery.

RUTHERFORD b.. HAYES is an anna

disposition, and creditably sealicitous to
make everybody happy around him. He
if elected, be a sort of lay presi-

Blaines for their own purposes. Under
such a man corruption could thrive. But
J. Tilden is built of different
moral and intellectual timber. He would
be pliable in the hands of jobbers,
nor allow the practitioners of corruption

man is a negative, and the other n

WE observe that the republican press
boasts ad Iibttum about Gov. Hayes war
record and his clainls on the party. He
nay have claims on the party. We know
about that, but we do know that
he has no claims On the country. The
country paid him in dollars and cents all
lain he had against It. If the party
yves him anything he should look to the
party for his pay. It is highly unjust to
make the people at large pay the claims

he error of giving places Of trust to men
Who claim to have earned the right to
hem through party service. And hav-
seen this error we should not fall into
t again. No man has any claim to office

mentally and morally competent. A de.
from this truth has led to all the
