viii Justice be Done in Forming the
Fraudulent Cabinet.

4 To Judge from the tDne Of the Republican
newspapers, very gross injustice Is con-
Stemplatcd in the formation Of the HAYES Cab
3inet. by holding the Pennsylvania delega-
4 zion to HARrRANFr at Cincinnati until
1 BLAINE's chances had passed. Don CAMERON
/ secured the nomination for HAYES and yet
= looks rs II Don would have to vacatc the
2War Department. After tho election was
3Ovcr, and when II bocam, necessary to re-
Ssort to the most desperate cxpcIicnts b,
count HAYES in, ZACH CHANDLER proved
lequal to the emergency. Whoever finched,
1 was not ZACH; yet HAYES is now advised
dby some fastidious Republicans 10 give him

4 All through the campaign, -otcs were
y claimed for HAYES on the ground that he
Z was pledged to restore BRlsrOw and JEWELL

4GRANr had ignOminiously driven them.

: "A few wavering Liberals held the balance of
Npower betwecn tho combatauts. The aid of
JREUBEN L. FENroN was invoked. He wrote n
letter expressing his preference for HlYEs
\ u was published and scattered broadcast
Sthrough that State; and Just enough Lib
derals went over to HAYES to turn the scale
i in his favor But do those who have now
4counted HAYES into the Presidency, pro-
