The Republicans are beginning to
have serious doubts Of their ability to
carry Michigan this fall.
Tho next Legislature will DO 40
important oue-two United States
Senators to elect.
a eolored Tilden club is actively
at work in Richmond, Va. The or.
gunixation is largely composed Of tho
most respectable and ilIclliy en-: colored

1t looks as though there is cou.

try, when such Republicans as James
II Ashley, who long represented the
Teledo District Of Ohio 10 Congress,
aud was known as "thC great impeach.
err" in the case of Prcsiden, johnson,
comes out for Tilicn aud Reform as he
has done.
When Governor Tildcn was
smashing the Tanmany rings he was
great reformer in the opiniou Of the
republican papers. They have au
idea he was helping them into power
in the Empire State. Since bis nom
nation at St. Louis they have found
oul that be is the iOry worst man III
tho country. Strange isn't it?
If you elect Tilden, Tildcu will DO
tho President. Ii YOU clc;t Hayes,
the Lord only knows who tho Presi.
dcat will be. Il may be Conklipg, or
Blaine, or old Simon Cameron or even
B as Shepherd. or possibly regency
composed q. the whole gaug. The
people shuu. / take no chances III such
lottery.
-Tha Republican party seems to
hape to carry the fall elections by au
exhibition OF repentance but people
generally have little taIth IN dsaibbed
rspeutances. The dying thief was par.
doued. but. as near as We eau judge
from the circumstances, he was taken
to heaven at once. rot placsd wh're he
ou!d be tempted 10 stoal again.
Why have your wages been rcdu-
ccd. aad why has your property dopra-

how isit possible for a man Of any
spirit to give his support to candidate

Administration that kicked him out
That's what We would like to know.
The way in which extravaganza
has grown since tho war is well illus

on the peoples treasury was first com
menced in Congress in 1866. siucs
which Tine nearly Sill, O0O,OOO has
tecu appropriated in this way. What
the country needs is Reform Admin

extravagance. only Us we pay our share
of tho public tax We are entitled to oaI
