Speaking OF Hayes Administration
tho Herald says: "In all he does We
urge the President TO have confidence In
the people. They will support him in
all honest and courageous service. The
public sentiment Of this country is al
ways higher than the expressions 1t finds
through the party press and politicians.
Timidity is the vice Of these organs.

and the policy which he announced in
his letter Of acceptance, and he will
gather around him the ardent support
Of the most thoughtful and most intel
ligent part OF tho nation, aud he will
win the gratitude Of the country"
