The Republican papers suggest that
now that Mr.. Hayes is President il
would only be generous and decent for
Democratic journals to let up' on him
Why should we? The fraud which
seated him in a stolen chair has not
been improved in its character because
Of its success, and is as abhorrent to all
honest men as it ever was. When Mr.
HAYES retires or is retired from the
Presidency it will be time to let up"
on him and consign him in mercy to
bis own place Till the 4th Of March,
1881, he must expect to be reminded
that be il only President de tacto and
the representative Of minority Of the
people, pitchforked into power BY
knot Of desperate thieves and tFieksters

tells Senator Merrimon, Of North Caro-
lima that bis Department will be run
az a part Of the Republican machine
He says that in making appointments
in the Southern States preference must
be given to Republicans, other things
being equal. Of course it will and
the Postmaster General for the South
ern States merely gives notice that
seekers after Southern post-ofices will
increase their chances Of success BY
openly joining the Republican band
The Fraudulent Administration ought

Brilliant shades of color never wear we'll. and

dark green are perhaps. the most economical
eolors for dresses: lavender and some shades
of gray the least 80. Navy blue, wears well in
good materials; in cheap fabrics it soon begins

durable but the redder tints soon become hard

economical than white. and makes up prettily.
In buying materials for making or trimming
