The Fruits Of Fraud Ripening.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 17.--Having been u voter
in this State since the memorable year 1910, and
Il resident of its capital about one-half that time,
my opportunities for obtaining knowledge OF
the probabilities OF the political weather in tho
midst Of n contest ought TO be Of some value.
Believing this made up opinion to bc unwarpcd
by prejudice. give il to your readers to be
pasted in their hats. and ms a warning to ardent
politicians Of Republican proclivitics not to risk
their money on the result Of the present election
in Ohio.
Had Hayes resigned or abandoned his pro-
tensions to the Presidency during the pcndcncy
Of his case before the Commission, and per-
mittcd Tildcn to he inauguracd the Republic
can party of Ohio would not only have seated in
Office their Gubcrnatorinl candidate. but would
have secured majority in the next Legislature
and sent Stanley Matthews to the United States
Senntc. Hayes had the sagacity to sec this
but $4,000 year for four years was too daz-
cling prize for his greed. lie promised
everything TO the South that was expected OF
Tildcn. His party partially acquicsccd in but
never dreamed he would attempt 20 carry it out
in good faith after his inauguration. II is doubt
ful whether Hayes hms If contemplated being
drawn into the deep water he now finds himself
in; for there are few. very few, Of his former
Radical Republican friends loft to do him hom
age. save those place seekers who in their rcso-
ntions proclaim confidence in his honesty Of
purpose. but in private curse his policy They
say he is travelling around the country seeking
homage from men who bitterly denouncc tho
party that placed him In power. They compare
him to n man who has the audacity TO fawn ut
the feet Of those who spurn and despse his
family. Not II few influential Republicans. in

Hayes own conduct that his election was
fraud-that he went back on his Republican
friends OF the South. ns Henry IL. did on his
servants who murdered Beckett in the interest
OF their king. by aiterward seeking the tomb Of
that celebrated prclatc and presenting his bare
shoulders to the ashcs Of his old cnemy's
friends by way Of pcnance for the wrong he
had committed.

In their nature.
Hayes has done moro toward destroying the
HcpuOllcafl IuTly lilhn any fnun living OF ueuu.
All his reforms have been stnbs in its vital
parts. Thetruth is beginning to force itself upon
the minds of the thinking portion Of the party
that the organization will not survive his Aa-
ministration. The party once had the power to
rid itself Of the incubus. but it is now too late.
They have nestled the serpent too long in their
bosom to eject him with safety.
Hayes's reception in Cincinnati on Saturday
evening last was a manufactured affair Cal

chants. The newspapers also did an enormous

true inwardness OF Republican feeling in Gin

advisers. which everybody here knows TO be In
opposition 10 the Southern policy.
II Hayes il right in his present policy. then
there was no need Of a Republican party In the
