"lIls Frauduleney.o

Democratic newspapers expend
considerable of their time denoun-
cling President Hayes, and designate
him as "His Fraudulency." The
American people have not forgotten
the peculiar circumstances which
placed Mr.. Hayes In the Presidential
chair. While there may be some
evidence OF fraud on the part OF
certain officials In Louisiana, which
to say the best is by no means
conclusive, there Ia no question Of
the bull-dozing. force. and violence
made use OF by the friends OF Tilden.
With such an existing state OF affairs,
Congress, with an unexpected patri-
otism, passed the law creating the
Electoral Commission, which was In
reality Board OF Arbitration. To
this Commission was confided the
task OF reconciling the conflicting
elements, and to bring order out OF
confusion. Every man, or boy, who
can read remembers the history of
the proceedings Of that Electoral
Commission, and how 1t gave the
Presidency to Rutherford b. Hayes.
1t was q fair compromise, against
which our democratic friends have
no right to complain. II they do

The recovery Of Senator Morton is
a matter for National congratulation.
Speaking OF him the Cincinnati Com
mercial said @he has had the strength
OF a giant, and he has used it like a
giant" He is unquestionably the
greatest living American Statesman.
and at this iuncture his services to
the country can lily be- spared. Amid
the attempts OF demagogues to over
throw the government, Morton has
stood up for our National honor, i'm
movable as rock; the tide OF corrup-
ton has dashed against him but he
has stood firm. Now that the storm
is well nigh over, and the era Of good
feeling and better times has dawned
upon US, we are 10th to spare our
good men and true who have battled
for the country in its darkest hours.
All honest men join In wishing Sena-
tor Morton long life. adf

To the Editor of The Republican:
Contrary to my usual custom, /
attended church. Sunday, and listened
to most excellent sermon by Rev.
Mr.. Little. In the course OF his re-
marks the speaker referred to what
he had said In q sermon on the strike
previously delivered by him. Then /
felt i had really missed "a good thing"
by not being at church on that &C.
casion. Had I known that the Strike"
was to have been the subject OF his
discourse on that occasion, / should
have certainly Teen there. / suggest
that our ministers, especially when
intending to speak upon matters OF
general interest announce the sub
ject OF their discourses In the local
papers. I have no doubt publishers
would be glad to make such an
nouncements, and I am sure the at
tendance at church would be in
creased. The mere announcement
on Sunday morning that Mr.. Little
would preach In the evening on Bar
Room Lounging. filed the NJ. Z.
church uncomfortably full.
Respectfully.

Quinn Hossler tells the boss snake

being composed of two rattlesnakes.
The heads of the snakes are fastened
to limb and the tails being dashed
together form q comfortable seat.
The snakes are fcd every day with a
bucketfull OF milk apiece, and seem
to enjoy the situation. The great
advantage of this swing is that the
snakes make a delightful motion.

printed this story in the Warsaw

with his illustrated article. The next
time he gets a good thing he will be

A ehivalric Virginian has fiogged
an editor for telling the truth. A
negro asked q young man named
Whitef1eld to write q letter for him
and give directions as to money he
wanted to inclose. Whitefield wrote
the letter, and the negro, inclosing
the money, mailed It. Whitefleld
representing that the letter belonged
TO him, took Il from the mail under
pretense Of making an alteration, and
did not return 1t. When the loss Of
the money was discovered the Post
master directed the negro to ask
Whitefleld to write another letter and
inclose In IL marked bills. this was
done; Whitefleld took the letter from
the mail, as he had taken the other:
he was arrested. and the marked bills
were found upon his person. He
gave bail for his appearance for
trial and then skedaddled. The
editor OF the Dauville Express stated
these facts, and Whitefield's older
brother wiped out the disgrace. OF
