Reports Not TO he Credited,

The Democratic press, which of
course includes that portion Of the indie
pendent journals that have been hostile
to the Republican party, has already be-
gun its work Of misrepresentation. Its
first purpose will be to impress the
country that the president distrusts the
more prominent of the Republican lead
ers, and that there has already arisen q
feeling of hostility TO Mr.. Hayes on the
part of leading Republican senators and
representatives. All sorts of reports
will be put in circulation. fla Repub-
lican senator calls upon the president it
will be for the purpose OF remonstrat-
III. against the sslestion Of this or tlhlaatt
man is selected from a certain locality
by the president, as one of his constitu-
tional advisers, Democratic correspond
ents, who, from their party affiliations,
must be in the confidence of the presi-
dent and the recipients of the secrets of
leading Republicans, will declare that
such a selection was made because this
or that prominent leader is not TO have
influence with the administration.
The president, il he reads democratic
papers, will be surprised TO learn there
from that he has ever expressed such
views as are ascribed TO him by the req
ular correspondent at Washington.
Republican congressman will, from the
same source, learn that they are in open
hostility to the executive and have had
stormy interviews with him. The public.
III has not already, through long expe-
ricnce, become too wise, will come 10 the
conclusion that The Republican presi-
dent is hopclessly estranged from the
mass Of his party associates and that
the Republican party has already gone
to the ''bow-wows."
II is needless to remark that all of
these reports and statements are to be
taken, if taken at all, with many grains
of allowance. That there will be differ
ences of opinion between the president
and his party associates, respecting the
disposition Of cabinet and other impor-
tant positions, is quite probable. There
are now thirty-eight states. Some of
them are very large and have men of
ability In such numbers that an entire
cabinet might be appointed therefrom.
Nearly all of these states have some
gentleman whom his party associates
would like to see honored with a cabinet
appointment, but as there are but seven
such positions to be disposed of, it Is ut
impossible for the president 10 ac-
TO the wishes of the Republicans of
every state in the Union. Because he
does not select the favorite of this or
that prominent Republican, il must not
be inferred that the president is inclined
to disregard their advice. He has sim
ply made his decision after hearing the
suggestions of men from all sections, af
ter considering the interests of all sec
and all questions of public policy.

Note from Judge Brookias.

EDIToRs OF Til REGIsTER:-In rela-
ton to an editorial in your last issue,
in which yon allude TO my being a can
didate for county commissioner In OPP
position to j. Il. Crane, the present In.
cumbent, allow me 10 say that | never
consented, OF was v asked, TO allow
my name to be used as a candidate, nor
did know il was being so used till il
was too late TO publish a statement de-
Ginning the position, Had ! been con-
suited by the movers in this matter, |
should have respectfully declined the
honor of being q candidate; and should
have done the same il the convention,
which nominated Mr.. Crane, had ten
dered me the nomination-not desiring
the Office. Respectfully,

tV" The election Of Judge Brookins as
county commissioner gives us an off.
cial who is entirely acceptable to all
friends of temperance in the county.
who feel that the Office could not be IN
better hands. The large majority he re.
ceived under the circumstances, is sufi.
cient proof that public opinion was op.
posed to some of the measures adopted
by MI. Crane. 1t is to be regretted,
however, that the sensitiveness felt al
the measures of the latter by men who
have never been esteemed friends ofthC
temperance cause should have commu.
nicated itself to so many of our best
temperance men. Mr.. Crane has done
more to bring the sales by our town
agencies TO a legal amount than has ever
been done before. Therefore it seems
II pity that temperance men could not
have overlooked what might be objec-
tionable in his methods, in considcra-
ton of the good work he was doing in
preventing the illegal sale of liquors
by towns. However, il is a matter for
aongratulation that the opposition to
Mr.. Crane has elected in his place simply
another uncompromising friend Of tenn
peraHee and of law.

~ The action of the Senate in refer
ring oil of President Hayes cabinet APP
pointments to committees, seems to in
dictate that the grave men intend TO take
all active part in running the govern
ment. None of the appointccs are in
the least objectionable in point of char
actor and fitness, and ii would seem to
have been the part of courtesy to
promptly confirm them. The presidents
policy, as set forth in his letter of ac-
ceptance and his inaugural, meets with
the hearty approval of the people; and
if senators like Morton and Conkling,
who have ''interests" and "claims' 10
be considered, place Instructions in the
way of his carrying ii ont, there is no
doubt whatever us to which side the
people will espousc.

~ There are quite number ofDcm-
ocratic papers that indicate grief about
these days. The following, from the
indianapolis Sentinel. is II little above
the average:
"When Rutherford Il. Hayes lies
down to sleep. the crimes by virtue OF
which he inhabits and pollutcs the Pres
idential mansion should come in flocks
as black as Poc's raven and fill his room
with sulphurous odors. sit on his stom-
ach like nightmare, hiss in his ears like
iiends, and crawl over him like cobras.
until he feels in every fiber of his
crime-stained soul that by accepting
he has robbed the people over WHOM lie
pretends TO exercise authority of their
dearest rights. When he rises from his
couch he should be made to feel that he
is only the more co%nspicuously a usur-
per of powers and privileges, and that
every movement only brings into holder
relief the infamous record of the return
ing board scoundrelism and the deprav-
ity of the radical deadfall Commission
which has clothed him with infamy as
with a garment

fully consider the sentiments expressed
in the inaugural address of President
Hayes, which is given in another col.
umn They are the opinions of an hon.
est and intelligent statesman, who mean.
what he says, and who will stand by his
convictions. These sentiments appea'
to the convictions of the people. Civi
service reform and peace in the country

The Cross Homes vs.. Crime.

That the commissioner has desired to
do what he could in the interest of tenn
peranee | presume no M doubts. That
he should cause his agents to label the
bottles containing the liquor sold as
poison, Is no more than all temperance
lecturers, in effect, do in words. That
method may not be the most wise or ju-
dicious. Still, il is unfortunate that
temperance people should be divided
and contend against each other, oyer a
matter so trihing as that, at the very
time when we all need TO work together.
| was surprised at Weybridge, TO see
on the mOderator's table q little vial la
beld with the cross bones, to create d.
vision. The moderator and clerk are
both strong temperance men, but they
have lost o great deal, we fear, 10 the
temperance cause by allowing q little
silly question of method to distract the
vote OF the town, when by their aid a
strong vote might have been cast, X

So the country is probably done with

dency. A law suit TO gain the presiden.
cy! it is a comical idea, but the country

With the presidency placed beyond
their reach for the next four wears. the
Democracy are calculating their chance,
of gaining possession of the Legislative
RifrBe ftcbSmbffeahi and the House Dem.
ocratic for the next two years. unless q
few Southern Conservatives should act
with the Republicans in the House. II
the Democrats succeed in clecting a ma
jority of the representatives of the
XLVIth Congress, they will need to gain
only a few senators In order to obtain
complete possession of the National
Legislature. The probability of their
gaining these is discussed BY the Utica
Observer as follows: "Two year.
hence, in 1879, the Democrats will cer-
tainly gain m senator in Alabama, one
in Arkansas, and one in Florida. In all
human probability they will gain one j II
Indiana and n in New York, and if
by that time, and not sooner, the Fed
eral yoke Is lifted from Louisiana and
South Carolina, they will be allowed to
return at least one senator from each of
those states. In Illinois, Wisconsin and
Oregon vacancies will also occur, and
in all these states the Democrats certain
ly stand mn equal chance with their
opponents. The Senate, then, will be
Democratic in 1879, and with the DEM
ocracy in the asccndent in both houses
of Congress, the pretender will be COM
pleteiy at the mercy of the true repre-
sentatives of the people TO the end of
his fraudulent term" That Is taking a
rosy view of the situation. The Repub-
iicnns will probably lose a few senators
in the south, but they are like to hold
their own in the north and perhaps gain
one senatorship in Connecticut.-TTri-

Mr.. Redleld, in q letter to the Clncin,
natl Commercial, warns the Republicans
that 1t will not do to trust to Providence
too often, and that unless they improve
their present opportunity il will be
their last one. He says: "The devil and
the Democracy may get them next time
without further Intervention of Proyi.
dence unless the promised reforms are
carried into effect. Never had a party q
better opportunity 10 redeem itself and
build upon an enduring foundation.
The seat of political power is in the
North, and a majority of the voters OF
every Northern state prefers the Re
publican party as long as 1t behaves itself.
If the incoming administration fulhlls
the expectations of the country, the
part! VIII be %lnylncible in 1880. II is
very much easier for the Republican
party TO remain in power than for the
Democracy to get In. Those who doubt
that God rules in the affairs ofmen, who
do not believe that the Creator exercises
power over the things created, but
leaves all to blind chance, must at least
admit that luck Is sadly against the
Democracy. Last December they had
fourteen points In their favor where the
Republicans had one. Yet either by
Divine guidance or superior states
manship the Republicans have won
every single disputed point, and done
II without the aid Of q soldier or the
firing Of a gun"
