THE one thing that the election of
democratic president would insure woul'
be peace at the south. BY peace W
mean entire obliteration of sectionalism
the assurance to that people that the.
are part and parcel OF the union il
more than name that they can pursu
plans and develop means leading to per
manent prosperity without the dread o

WE presume Gov. Hayes would gladly
have given five thousand dollars out o
his own pocket rather than have Earym
go out Just when and AS he did. 1t is Z

Journal
AT least one republican journal see
the absurdity of trying to defeat Gov
TiIdon 10y calling him sham re
former" The Boston Advertiser say
frankly: lie has done good work as
reformer, and is entitled to all the credi
of it," The taxpayers of this stat
know that a reform which reduces thei
taxes is not a sham. The canal rim
gentlemen know there is no sham abou
it, too.--N y Tribune.
KENTUCKY democrats will vote 70
Tilden and Hendricks with greater yea
than they have voted for anybody sine
1886. They viii give the st. Loui
nominees forty thousand majority, anC
in that number will be counted thou
sands of old Clay wings who, forgetting
the animosities of former conflicts, now
rally around the democratic flag as the
only symbol of constitutional govern
ment and union of co equal states

THE republican organization has be
come party of beefeaters. When We
think of this party as it came into being
twenty years ago, its leaders men like
Summer, Seward, Chase, Lincoln, its
platform universal freedom and the in
tegrity of the union when we think OF
the great soldiers and statesmen VINO
have been proud to enroll themselves in
its ranks, and see now what it all comes
to-Hayes and Wheeler and a pea-soup
platform-we can see how it has fallen.
The fall, however, is what we must al
ways expect from a party long in posses
sion of power. The men Of principle in
the republican party have gone out of
it. The men who gave it leadership and
ideas are no longer in authority.-N T.
