1877. NEW YORK, 1877.

The different editions of THE Sun dur
ing the next year will be the same as

The daily edition will on week days be
a sheet of four pages, and on Sundays a
sheet of eight pages, or So broad col
umns; while the weekly edition will be
a sheet of eight pages Of the same di-
mansions and character that are already
familiar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the SIRE
nuous advocate of reform and retrench-
ment, and of the substitution of states
manship, wisdom, and integrity for hol-
low pretence, imbecility, and fraud in
the administration of public affairs. 1t
will contend for the government of the
people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to government by frauds in
the ballot-boX and in the counting of
votes, enforced by military violence. It
will enGeavor to supply its readers-a
body now L OF far from a million of souls
with the most careful, complete, and
trustworthy accounts of current events,
and will employ for this purpose a num-
erous and carefully selected staff of re-
porters and correspondents. Its reports
from Washington, especially, will be
full. accurate, and fearless; and it will
doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy
the hatred of those who thrive by plum
derirg the Treasury or by usurping
what the law docs not give them, while
it will endeayor to merit the confidence
of the public by defending the rights of
the people against the Entertainments
of unjustified power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 90
cents a month, or $3.50 ayear, post

The benefit of this large reduction

and every such person who sends us ten
or more subscribers from n place will
be entitled to one copy of the paper for
himself W thout charge. At n dollar

confident the people viii consider The
Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper
published in TIE world, and We trust al
so one OF the very best.

The President is reported by one
Of his interviewers as saying: eff
Tilden gets in it is probable that Re-
publican officials will rot be allowed
to leave the Southern States alive"
How then does it happen that where
the adventures have lost power in
Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Alabama and Mississippi, they got a.
way safely and even secured the mil
lions they had stolen from those
States2 No one in the South consid-
ers that taking the lives of Gen.
Grants friends, Casey, Packard, KEEL
logg, Chamberlain and the like would
atone for their wrongs and robberies.
Their only emotion towards them is
that which is felt by a man when he
sees burglars getting out OF his
house, thankful that they have not
taken his life as well as his money.

Our special Washington cores
pondent gives a concise account, from
Democratic sources, of the nanipu-
lations by which Florida was declar-
ed first for Stearnes and Hayes, aud
on a recount ordered by the Supreme
Court for Drew and Hayes. If this
story is true the Returning Board
has been clearly guilty Of fraud, the
Republican managers are also guilty
of fraud in the counties mentioned,
and the Republicans can not afford
to count in Mr.. Hayes by suchfraud-
ulent methods. Ifthey can not show
that the vote Of the State was hon
estly taken and fairly counted. pub
lie opinion must set against them.
If they can refute this story we adj
wise them to do so without delay.
They have control Of the State; their
Governor was q candidate for re cleo
ton; they appointed the election Of
ficers, and they are fairly accounta-
bic and must show that they dealt

1t will be remembered that before
the election the reports of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury showed a Won
derful decrease in the national debt.
The Democrats charged that it was
done for political effect. What do
we see since the election? Why,
that in November the public debtin
creased $457,662, and in December
the alarming amount of 1855, 142.
This makes an increase ofthe public
debt in two months under Republi-
can rule of MORE THAN FOUR
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! No
wonder the tax-burthened people are
crying out for the Inauguration of S.
j. Tilden, the man who lowered
the taxes of New York one-half in a
single year.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-01-25

Within the last ten days, positive
Republican expressions are to be met
with on every hand denouncing any
attempt to force Hayes into the Pres.
idency in accordance with the Ad-
ministration plan. The most signifi-
cant declaration is that of Chief JUS
tice Waite, whose opinions are not
concealed ON the issue although he
has expressed them with the pru-
dence that becomes his position. He
is the personal and political friend
and neighbor of Gov. Hayes and all
his sympathies are naturally with the
Republican candidate; but he has
declared that the result must depend
upon the facts in the disputed States,
and that the present aspect of the
controversy points very strongly to
the election and proper Inauguration
of Tilden. 1t is now well understood
in political circles here that the Su-
preme Court cannot be trusted to de-
clare Hayes elected, strongly Repub-
lican as it is, and this development
has done much to demoralize the al
ready weak Morton Sherman leader
ship.-PhiIa. Times.

Long before the nomination of
Hayes by the Radical plunderers the
few administration papers that clam
ored for "a third term for Grant, as
sured their readers that if Grant
could not be re-nominated, he could at
least, and would name his successor.
So far as the nomination of Hayes
was concerned, this prediction or
threat proved true. Blaine was the
choice of four-fifths of the Republi
cans of the country for President
but Grant defeated him and nomina-
ted Hayes, a man who had not a doz-
en- votes to start with in the nomina-
ting convention. Don Cameron the
utterly abandoned Secretary of War,
headed the conspiracy against Blaine,
just as he is now heading the con-
spiracy against Samuel J. Tilden,
the President-elect. The power and
the patronage of the government,
as well as the active aid of every
scoundrel in the country were used
against Blaine just rs they are now
being used against the President
elect. The first was 4 conspiracy
against a majority of the Republicans
of the country; the present is a con-
spiracy against a majority of the
American people. Grant is a vain,
ambitious. and INSCRIPTIONS man
and he is determined, at all hazards,
to make good the words of his friends
when they said he would name his
successor. He is determined to do
SO, Notwithstanding the people have
said, in most emphatic language, that
Samuel j. Tilden shall be his success
sor. Now, the question is-wLo is
the strongest, the American people
or Grant? Grant is backed by his
corrupt cabinet, the army and navy,
and every thief and villain in the
country. Are these stronger than
the honest masses? We trow not.
Grants attempt to putthe will of the
nation at defiance and to place in the
Office of Chief magistrate one select
ed by himself-aman rejected by the
people-is the most gigantic outrage,
conspiracy and treason that ever was
concocted by man. 1t was planned
before the election by Grant, beast
Chandler and Don Cameron, and it
must be and shall be put down cost
what it may.

The difference between carpet-bag
rule and Democratic rule in Georgia
is illustrated by the free school stats

The three richest men in the Unit
ed States-Astor, Stewart and Van
derbilt-have died within the last fif-
teen months. The combined wealth
of these three men would probably
reach 81, 800, 0OO,O 900, or four times
the amount Of the public debt of
the United States before the war.
The demise Of these men, rich SIS
they were, scarce caused q ripple in
the commercial or business world.

Hon. GEO. WELLS, for fifty years
President of the Farmers and Plant
ers Bank of Annapolis Nd, has de-
faulted t. the amount of from fifty to

a new instance of breach Of trust
where trust was implicitly given and
shows again that conventional respec-
liability, though long maintained and
highly honored, is not always the
outward garment Of uprightness.

The Republican Legislature Of O.
hio which last winter. in view of the
important fall election, made such a
pretense for economy has presented
the Partial Appropriation Bill. This
bill foots up at the start $4,000, and
it usually grows to double its size be-
fore it passes. This, it should be re-
membered, is only ''partial" appro-
priation to make up the deficiency
owing to economy last winter, which
was caused by the near approach of
a Presidential election. Before this
Partial Appropriation Bill gets
through both Houses it will reach
the enormous sum of amillion dollars.

When the House at its last session

interest will suffer by reason of the
cutting down of Don Hamilton Fish's
