he PiOueer-Pre saws:

The Pioneer Press says:
I'm Hayes last canvass for the
governOrship two years ago. a square
issue was made against Blllallenlsm
and it's prophet and chief was defeated
and retired toa privacy from which he
is nevertheless to emerge. That the
specter which Hayes then laid should
arise in the first election held in his
state during his presidential term is
somewhat unsatisfactory result. 1t
it shall assume such proportions as to
overshadow the issues growing out OF
his own reform and Southern policy,
the resurrection will be still more un-
timely. However, these issues will
be made prominent in the Republican
platform, so that they can scarcely be
wholly ignored in the canvass. 1t is
also confidently asserted that the Re-
publicans will endeayor to spike the
enemy's financial guns by fiourishing
a declaration in favor Of the dollar OF
the fathers by way Of gonfalon. Al
together, there will be much to attract
the eyes of the country to Ohio during
the coming months.
Yes: Billallenism was defeated in
Ohio in 1875, and also in 1875. Let us
Isee how it was done. Here is an in
Iteresting communicative which
throws some light on the subject.
Il A. M. w. III. Kemble, a republican
holitician of Pennsylvania, inside the
*ring, has become incensed at Hayes
civil service reform ideas and he ''lets
the cat out of the Bag as follows:
Some time ago Mr.. Schurz wrote

tributions from Republicans ofmeans
but Mr.. Schurz didn't stop to inquire
who paid the money. Hayes had ev
