HAYES AND HIS sLAyE-HOUND CABINET.
Hayes Cabinet reminds one of q story
of Turner, the English painter. He had
hung up at the exhibion a painting sub

the canvass seemed to fade out of sight in the
presence of its bright rivals After gazing
awhile Turner flung drop of bright red on
the centre of his piece, ard the picture glow

ALAS FOR BLAINE, MOTION AND BCTLER
What name shall we give to the cool and
barefaced assumption which claims that the
Cabinet represents all the elements of our
politics? Where do you fud IN it Iae eie-
meut which Blaine, Morton aud Butler
stand for? Without that idea IN the fore
front of Ihe canvass Tilden would be to-day
in the White House and he republicans not
only defeated, but humbled by their over
whelming aunihilation. Every other element
appears in the Cabinet. This only-the

Indifferent that, in this battle of giants and
struggle of principles, they could see nothing
either in the republican OF democratic party
worth working for. Schurz stands for the
treachery, selfconceit and morbid office seek
lng that rebelled with Greeley. Key brings
in TiIden and sec, ssion. Devens keeps fresh
before us the men who ate dirt and wore col
lars il the old pro slavery days. If the
the Presidential canvass had contained only
these forces Hayes would dwell quietly to-
day in Ohio Blaine and the hloody shirt

doubt Of December and January the only
words that reached us from Gov Hayes was
the assurance h0w deeply he felt for the

well enough then what chord would reach
the nations heart and make men pray for
his SUCCESS. II Tilden had been counted in
what more would the South have asked of
him what more would he have dared 10 do
than tO withdraw the troops! Fancy Hayes
proclaiming in October that he contemplated
calling home the troops If the telegraph
had announced such 4 purpose on his part

HAYES RETRAYs HIS owS PARTY
Besides, the almost unyarylng custom and
courtesy Of our politics IS Tor the President to
offer 10 the next strongest candidate of his
party the position Of secretary OF State.
