Gov. HAYES ACCEPTANCE. AT last,
after nearly months study on it, Gov.
R. B. Hayes has succeeded in getting
up letter of acceptance of the Repub-
lican nomination for President. After
expressing his concurrence in the prin-
ciples of the Cincinnati platform, be an
nounccs his determination, if elected,
to ignore the doctrine "to the victors
belong the spoils." and to make his ap-
pointments to Office on the rule that
honesty, capacity and fidelity consti-
tute the only real qualifications to Of
6ce." In regard to the civil service he
makes as strong promises Of reform as
Ulysses did in 1872 and would probably
keep them equally as well. On the cur
rency question Mr.. Hayes expresses
himself as in favor Of specie resumption
as soon as possible. All the hard times
and financial troubles are blamed on the
'irredeemable and fuctuating curren-
cy," and the sooner, he thinks, we get
rid Of it the better. In speaking Of the
South, one might almost think, (were
it not for the fact that promises are SO
easily made) that Mr.. Hayes is in no
way in sympathy with the Administra-
ton ard that Blaineism and Mortonism
were abhorrent to him. So fairly does
be promise and so sympathetically does
he speak Of the sufferings Of the people
Of the South. "Their first necessity"
be says, "is an intelligent and honest
administration Of government, which
will protect all the citizens in all their
rights" That is an assertion which
will meet the approval Of every intelli-
gent and unbiased man in the country.
But the want does not attach to the
South only, but to the North, East and
West as we'll. The whole country feels
the need Of intelligence and honesty in
the government. Heaven knows we
have suffered enough from the want Of
it in the last eight years, and that is
one giant reason why the people want a
change in the administration.
While Gov. Hayes covers himself up
very nicely with the lion skin Of fair
promises the ass ears of Grantism will
stick out and betray the true character
Of the animal beneath. One Of the
easiest things in the world to do is to
make fair promises; but to keep them
is another matter The Republican
party platforms in all the Presidential
campaigns from 1860 to 1876, have
teemed with declarations Of the good
they meant to perform, but not one Of
those hosts Of promises has been kept.
Their vehement protestations of civil
service reform, which we're the burden Of
their Philadelphia platform in 1872,
have been carried out by Grant with a
vengeance-Belknap and Robson in
the cabinet; Bristow and Jewell over
thrown and turned out because Of their
honesty and hostility to official corrup-
ton; Sheppard retained in the Presi-
dents confidence after the exposure Of
his raacalities and yillainies. and nomi
mated for District Commissioners to the
utter disgust of even Radical Senate
Pinchback given $40. 900 from the U.
s. Treasury just at the beginning Of ar
elective campaign, for contending for .
seat in the Senate to which that body
long ago decided be had no right
These are few samples Of the manner

Gov. HENDRICKS ON RESUMPTION. -
In an interview in the Nashville Ameri-
can, Gov. Hendricks, in reply to a
question whether the repeal Of the re-
sumption act was a condition of his ac-
ceptance, said:
"Oh, no there are no conditions
expressed. wish to see the demo-
cratic House, by its own act, absolutely
settle the question of Interpretation Of
the platform Of currency. The day of
adjournment is near, and l would like
to urge them to take immediate action.
1t is due to their constituents. particular
ly the people Of the West. With that
clause interpreted by the unequivocal
act Of the House there remains nothing
in the platform that admits of two con-
structions. think they will repeal the
resumption clause in the House this
week and throw it into the Senate,
which will then have to bear the re-
sponsibility Of its defeat, as we'll as the
responsibility of n-concurrents in the
Houses retrenchment bill, and conse-
quent dead lock, giving the democracy
two most valuable aids in the fall cleo
tions. The people will sustain the
Houses action in both respects. = : *lt
is unfortunate that Mr.. Dorsheimer ac-
cepted Mr.. Ewing's Interpretation Of
the financial plank and drew an issue
on reading that the plank itself did
not admit Of, but the repeal by the
democratic House Of the resumption
clause will settle all this. We will 60
before the people with declaration Of
principles that cannot be mistaken. It
is bold, clear and aggressive-free trade
free schools, home rule. absolute settle
ment Of all war issues by the result Of
the war, return to peace basis and nat
ional legislation, and a removal Of all
artificial obstacles to resumption Of spe-
Gle payment-in one word, reform.

THE Press ON Gov. HAYES LETTER

THE Press ON Gov. HAYES LETTER.
In commencing on Gov. Hayes let
ter accepting the presidential nomina-
ton the New York Herald says "it is
fair, discreet document, and shows
that the Governor is we'll advised. "
The Times says lit is the manly, frank
and explicit declaration Of sincere
and able man" The Tribune says "it
utters a clear, manly, unequivocal
declaration Of principle which embody
the strongest desires Of all honest and
thinking American citizens" The
World says the most obvious criticism
on the letter is .'that it has been care
fully constructed by the party managers
for political effect, and that there is not
one hearty, outspoken word in it from
beginning to end" The New York
Sun says ''it is weak letter, notwith-
standing the fact that s. many politi-
clans have assisted him in getting it up.
Mr.. Hayes is not the man for the times
not the reformer needed by the coun-
try" The Philadelphia Times says
"Gov. Hayes letter is the rosiest,
happiest paper we have read in many .
long day" The Inquirer says 'the
manly language in which Gen. Hayes
couches his acceptance Of the nomina-
tion gives satisfactory earnest of the
manliness with which, if elected, he will
fill the presidential Office" The Press
says "the letter strikes keynote in
every paragraph. The Philadelphia
North American says "the letter is
manly and positive, leaving no possible
doubt concerning his views upon the
question whereupon he touches To
our mind the paper is deficient in but
one thing. We must fight this cam
paign squarely upon the issue Of pro-
lection against free trade. 1t is to be
regretted that our candidate could not
have added to an already admirable let
ter some declaration that be was in
sympathy with his party in this vita
matter"
