will be nothing more or less than a
presidential fraud. lie will be the
product of gigantic swindle. His
robes of Office will be stepped in cor
ruption. He will be the embodi-
ment of more sin and more shame
than American history has ever pro-
duced before.
On Monday, the 9Th, Hon. II. NJ.
Matthews, was duly inaugurated
Governor of West Virginia. On this
occasion he delivered q well written,
well considered and patriotic inaug-
ural address. Mr.. Mathews takes
his seat, unlike Hayes,) with no
faint of fraud about him, and hav-
ing the fullest confidence and respect
of the people of the whole State
Sherman has got his reward for
shedding crocodile tears over Eliza
Pinkston and indorsing the honorGD
of the infamous Louisiana Return
ing Board. Packard thinks the rule
"Honor among thieves" ought to be
adhered to in his case by Hayes-and
why shouldn't it?
"All hell cannot prevent Packard
from being Governor" said Kellogg
in November. Itlooks now as though
he failed to appreciate the depth of
ingratitude to which his party was
capable of descending.
Thank God that Grant is out of
office. lie is responsible more than
any other man for the great shame
that has come upon the nation,
With anything but brutalized
drunkard at the helm thieves and
scoundrels would never have been
able to get control of the government
by fraudulent means.
The Hartford Times says that the
country can endure the political re-
suit far better than it can afford this
soiluro of the court-a judicial tribu-
nal which has stood the highest in
the world. Party failures and sue
cesses pass like the breeze; but the
degradation and the injury which
the court has sustained will be per-
mah2nt
Under the ac. of the Legislature
which provides for the selection BY
the people of a permanent seat u
government for this State, an elect
ion is to be held at each of the usual
voting places in the several districts
of the State, on the It'll day of August
in the present year.
Hayes starts out with the idea that
he is to usher political millennium;
but his party will lend him no CO.
operative aid in such a labor of love.
The managers of the party conducted
the campaign on sectional hate, and
they will want the same issue for
future use.
Tho Post says it is rumorcd that
Hayes will arrest Grant for sodition,
because the latter said: "No man
worthy of the Office of President
would be willing to hold it if count
ed in or placed there by fraud"
The Camorons who made Hayes the
Presidential nominee of tho party,
find themselves out in the cold Don
Cameron expected tobore tainedin the
War Dcpartmcntbut Hayes has turn
ed him adrift with all the rest Of
Grants Cabinet of curiosities,

1t isn't for myself that | care" said
Rutherford Returning Board Bradley
Hayes the night after his defeat,
"and tho party can stand it; but do
feel for the poor African" lie prob
ably referred to Eliza PinkstOn,
In Hayes the RAIDS have n bigger
job on hand than they anticipated
They now call him a traitor, and cry
ont 1--WE are Johnsoni2ed," Let EN-
fight
The Republicans are very quiet
over the counting in of Hayes
They naturally feel ashamed Of their
dirty work.
His fraudulcncy, Rutherford D.
Hayes, will ride to his Inauguration
with his proud paternity written all
over him, blazoned asupon u banner
"'rhu bastard offspring of an Illicit
union between j, Madison Wells and
