THE SALARYGRABBERS,

Hayes was member of Congress
in 1866, when the salary of Con
gressmen was raised from $4,000 to
81, 900 by being meanly tackled upon
the soldiers bounty bill. This
steal was worse than the back pay
grab, for that was put through OH
its merits in the House. Hayes,
then a member, took the back pay,
aud he drew the pay up to the time
his successor took his seat. Gen.
FL. B. Banning, now in Congress,
beat him one thousand votes in dis
trict heretofore strongly Republican.
He was then repudiated for his un-
faitllfulness to his trust, in putting
his hands in the treasury and TAX
ing money that he was bound to
guard against all speculations.
The same paper says: Gen. Haw-
ley says Wheeler, of New York,
candidate for Vice-President, is
"brOad jawed,' and Ire is a salary
gra6ber, too! w. A. Wheeler, of
New York, was a member of Con
gress, and on March Sd, 1873, voted
