Hayes's New White Party Must
Preserve Some Republican
Principles.

The New York sun, under the above cap
non, makes some seasonable suggestions to
Mr.. Hayes and his followers. Ii says:
1t i announced from WashinLton that, as a
part OF the new White Party movement the
Cabinet means TO stuck to civil service reform,
and that Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Schurz are to
prepare rules for that purpose.
We suggest that these rules should be made
so comprehensive that they will serve as a
safe platform for the White Republican Parry
hereafter; and with tins view We venture to
remind these eminent rcformers that they
should sill claim to be Republicans AMI that
there are TWO political doctrines 10 which a.
their Republican experience should teach
them, they ought 10 pay particular attention,
and which they ought to incorporate in their
new system.
First. they should remember tina, the funda
mental principle Of the Hayes Republican
party, as il is now constituted. is Cheating in
Elections, aud they should keep tins great
principle IN view in every rule they lay down ;
aud, secondly. they should hkewis most
especially bear in mind that the second, and
perhaps most important fundamental pincipe
of the HAYES Republican parry, is that in
every erection proper Returning Dodru mus
be at hand, fully endowed with power to
change the returns where the voting is rot
satisfactory and 10 count in the Hayes cend-
dates every time, no matter what may have
been the wish of a well. meaning but not
always intelligent people.
BY rsidly adhering to this line Of policy.
Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Schurz may confidently
hope to establish a complete system of civil
service reform such as ought TO be satisfactory

party and to its Fraudulent President

men were working on in their quiet,
unobtrusive way, calling up the BULLS
eye disk again and again. Dudley Selph
was the champion OF the squad and of
the field, with a virtual score of PIT
points, though, by an error of planting
one of his bulls-eyes on the wrong
target at 900 yards, he is credited with
but 212 points. which still left him the
best man for the day. He is indeed
phenomenal marksman, and deserves
the title of champion long-range rife
man of the world, and as his slight
form arose time after time from the
firing points with the response Of a
bull's-eye to his last shot, there was
recurring stir of applause among the
spectators. All his shots were planted
within the centre circle, or, judging
from a central point, all his bullets
lodged within two feet of the centre of
the bull's-eye. The other men Of the
New Orleans squad were rather down,
though their leading four (the team for
the Interstate match), with total OF
797, beat the English leading four 9
points.

POPULARITY OF vi. THEIRS.

tParlS DlSpaten, July 13J
The popularity OF M. Theirs is coming
significantly to the front, and bids fair
to cause no end OF bitterness and embar-
rassment to the Marshal and his govern
ment. At present he is at Dieppe, where
he proposes staying fortnight. The
announcement OF his arrival was no
sooner made than hundreds of people
put out flags OF welcome, the ships in
the harbor donned their bunting, and q
large crowd gathered round the railway
station to give him hearty greeting.
1t was repetition OF the ovation he re-
celved on Sunday at Stors. Flowers
were strewn in his path, ladies pre-
sented him with boquets, and old and
his hand. The veteran ex-President was
much touched by the warmth of the
demonstration, and saluted the people
most profusely as they cried out, give

may be judged from the spontaneous
receptions he has met with at
Stors and Dieppe. Some Of the
Republican papers advise him to
do so but tempting as the advice is,
NJ. Theirs is too wise mau to take such
a course. He knows that he might lose
more than he would gain by putting
himself in direct opposition to the Mar
shall. 1t is his policy to keep quietly ia
the back ground, and let his enemies
do his work for him. This has been his
course since he was forced to resign the
Presidency, and he has no reason to
complain Of its want of success. Per-
haps he never was so popular as he is
now. He can, therefore, afford to wait
his time. Public feeling has already
marked him out as the Marshal's sue
cessor, and there is no likelihood Of its
changing it's choice so long as NJ. Theirs
let's matters take their own course.
