A perfect war was carried on in the
Custom House, in Baltimore for over
two weeks, when Fulton finally pre-.
vailed on Hayes to kick Cresswell's
man, wilkins, out and put his man,
Thomas, in. wilkins was appointed
by Grant less than year ago, and is
therefore turned out of pasture when
at its full growth and is of course good
and mad. Fulton put a clause in his
letter to Hayes which reads as fol-
lows: "lf the President will promptly
make the appointments of Maryland
that have been suggested to him by
Mr.. Thomas and myself, it will electriiy
the whole State, and l promise him in
return the election Of a reform candidate

Hayes and his Cabinet are keeping up
a constant hub-bub over the appoint
ment of their subordinates if they rely
upon such thin promises as that made
BY Fulton. But few of the present
generation will be around when the
Radical ticket is elected in "Ay Mary

BRIMsToNR IN THE ARA Times
interviewer called upon Christian
Kneass, Chairman of the Radical city
Committee of Philadelphia, u few days
after Hayes "civil service" card APP
peared, and he expressed himself in
this way to the reporter:
"If il hadn't been for the ofioe-holdors Hayes
wouldn't te President to-day. Things have come
to pretty pass when the people who elected
him have either to get out Of politics or out Of
place. My opinion Of Hayes is that he Is play
ing the ciyil-seryiee dodge, which is popular
North, for the purpose OF Withdrawing attention
from his Southern policy. lie knows the politi-
clans in his party are against him. propose,
at the State Convention to be held 10 August, 10
offer resolutions deuouncing the policy Of Ruth
erford D. Hayes, and from the information
have from reliable persons all over the State,
have no doubt Of their adoption. have no
doubt but that Mr. Hayes object is to surrender
the Republican party into the hands Of few
soreheads and mbeciles, who have been training
with the Democratic party. But In this he will
not be successful. The Republican party sur
yiyed tie treason Of Andrew johnson, and have
not the slightest doubt that 1t will outlive the
imbecility Of Rutherford B. Hayes"
"Addition, division and silence"
Kemble, and a number of other party
leaders, expressed themselves equally
as emphatic as Mr.. Kneass, and if we
are not mistaken that the men who
elected Hayes, or at least carried this
State for him last fall, will denounce
him openly in their approaching State
Convention, and it will therefore be-
come the duty of the Democrats, as
on former occasions, to take care OF
"the government when assailed by
open enemies. Our party friends saw
ed the country in the days OF Tyler,
Fillmore and Johnston, and we have
no doubt but that they will support
Hayes also, provided he adopts the
Constitution and his oath of Office as
his guide.
