SOL MILLER. Editor.
TROY, KANSAS:
Thursday, :: :: :: July 10, 1877.
Editor.

1T is WoRKING-Last year, we told the Peter
Cooper men that they were fooling away their
votes, and could never accomplish their object
by voting that ticket. 1t turns out just as We
said. The question is working itself out At
Grant and Congress killed the currency bill, and
passed an act for resumption in 1879, against the
protests and appeals of the millions who were
not bondholdeIs and bankers. Hayes made the
race for Governor on this issue, and was elected.
1t was put in the Republican National Platform,
and Hayes went into Office on that issue. Hayes
claims that his Southern policy is in accordance
with the PLATFORM which is not true but when
it comes to an issue that was squarely made in
the platform, he backs down OH it, in order to
save the party in Ohio from defeat, as a conse-
quence of his Southern Policy. While this llus-
trates the honesty and consistency Of the man, it
is a God-send to the people. John Sherman, an
Ohio Senator, and now Secretary of the Treas
ury, ,fraudulently secured clause in an act demon
etizing silver. Recently it was proclaimed by
leading Republicans of Ohio, that the remonetiz-
alton of silver was necessary to save the party in
Ohio, and straightway Hayes took water on that
question. Now, the Resumption organs, from
the Cincinnati Gazette down, abandoning their
former platforms, and retreating from their high
toned specie doctrines, are raising the clamor
that the only way to save the country from
ruin and the party in Ohio from defeat, is to re-
peal or postpone the Resumption act. And
Hayes, willing to do anything to escape the con-
sequences of his own treachery, will favor that
also. From the present outlook, the Republicans
of Ohio are doomed to disastrous defeat, from
which nothing can save tbem-and Mr.. Hayes,
with his treason to the Republicans of the South,
and the humbug that he calls Civil Service Re-
FORM is responsible for it all. But it is an. ill
wind that blows nobody good. This result will
rid the country of Stanley Matthews, and hast
en- the day Of greenhacks.

Is Thos che Best You Can DO,

= That stannch organ of Hayes Administration,
the Troy Baliefin, last week had another rery
able editorial upon the Presidents Civil Service
policy. What it says of Iowa, is scarcely worth
noticing. A Convention that enthusiastically
received Gov. Packard, and almost unanimously
tabled resolutions enclosing the Presidents
Southern policy, spoke loud enough for the deaf
to hear. If the Hayes advocates can gain any
comfort from it, they can squeeze juice from the
tire Of wagon wheel Kirkwood AID Wiisou
were right in wishing to keep the question ont
OF the Convention. Ii should he kept ont of all
Conventions; but if MY Policy" men riH insist
upon bringing it in, they mnst grin and bear the
result. We shall never advise that it be brought
into Republican Convention of Kansas; but II
it is forced in, we have no doubt as to the re-
suit
What we wish TO notice, is the really deep
part of the editorial of this able Hayes organ.
In the wind-up of its mighty effort, it says that
the Government office holders in Kansas all en-
dorse the President, and that almost every other
leading Republican in the State would, if an Of
fee were rendered him; and in the very next
sentence it says, that if the Government office
holders had not overridden the voice of the Re-
pubIicans Of this District, man of ability, in
tegrity, and moral worth, would now represent
the District, in place of Col Phillips. The logi-
cal inference is, that the men who endorse Hayes,
are the roughs who pack Conventions, override
the wishes of the people, and outrage the prin-
ciples of honesty and decency. We shall not
dispute the proposition. But it naturally fol-
lows, that when the President succeeds in silenc-
ing the offce-hoiders he wipes out the Hayes
party in Kansas.
We feel justified in presuming, from the tone of
the aforesaid able editorial, that at least Gin
fuentiap Republican in Kansas bases his sup,
port of Hayes upon the hope that be may still
get an ofice-that of United States Marshal
Ashe failed to get elected to the Legislature, for
the avowed purpose of selling his vote for Sena-
tor to the candidate who would pro mise him the
Marshalship, it is very likely that he will have
to wait until the ofliceholders are muzzled, and
until man of ability, integrity and moral worth
is elected to Congress in place of Col. Phillips.

B-A rumor prevailed, last week, that, in view
of the threatened exposures in Louisiana, Hayes
contemplated resigning the Presidency. The
news is too good to be true. But, having con-
fessed, by his acts, that he was fraudulently
placed in the office, the best thing he can do is
to resign. Then Wheeler would become Presi-
dent lie has made no such admission, and he
would give the country what it thought it was
getting when Hayes came into office-a Repub-
lican Administration.

~ We are glad to that the Atchison
Champion is gradually getting warmed up
against the Southern Policy and the Civil Serv-
ice humbug of the fraud who occupies the White
House-the Democrats swear he is fraud, and
the Republicans know he is fraud upon them.
The Champion is usually slow to cut loose from
the powers that be, but when it does get loose,
it goes it. We are also glad to hear that Senator
Igalls' head is level on this subject.

of the fact, to aid in his own election, it is ap-
propriate that he should issue orders against as

n 1t is a little remarkable, that whenever a
new paper is started in town where there is an
old-established paper, the former imagines that
it is just slaughtering the latter fearfuIly. They
always have a set number of subscribers that the
old paper has lost in a given length of time. A
couple of weeks ago, the concern up over tho sa-
loon announced that the Chiefs list had fallen
off two hundred since that affair started; and
about the same time, the Leavenworth Press
made the announcement that the Times had lost
two hundred subscribers in q week. But the
meanest part of it is, that the papers that are
losing so heavily don't seem TO mind il q bit.

e A few weeks ago, we noticed the receipt
of a handbill making certain charges against
D. r. Anthony. He has just sued number of
persons for libel, for issuing and circulating this
handbili. Among them, are United States Mar
shal Miller and P. II. Coney. There is evidently
more malice in the suit than in the handbill.
Anthony abused F. P. Baker without stint, for
arresting men for lbcllng him; bnt now that he
is the OK that is gored, we suppose it makes all
the difference in the world. He values his char
acter at $4,000. We predict he won't get 20
cents.
