A Visit to Govsruor Hayes.

Now that Governor Hayes is Presi.
dent of the United States, will brief
ly relate what manner of man he il
from my knowledge of him during
TWENTY-FIVE years, as we'll as from
ware county, Ohio, Governor Hayes i.
ffty-fiye years of age, but casual OBJ
server would take him to be at least
ten years younger. There is not a
vestige of gray in his abundant au-
burn oair and the full beard he has al.
ways worn ever since have known
him. Alert, youthful as he was TWEEN
ty-five GEARS ago, he is forcible ex.
ample of the value of an abstemious
life. He was never in q bar-room, il
is said, in all his years; he is an utter
stranger to tobacco in all its forms
Nobody ever saw him take drink o1
liquor or smoke cigar or chew to-
bacco. There may be negative vir.
tues in the estimation of optimists, but
to satisfy them it can be added thai
nobody ever knew him to sacrifice
truth 10 gain any political OF personal
end Living in the full public gaze
for twenty years, and coming out OF
the most exciting Presidential contest
in American history, Governor Hayes
is absolutely without blemish. There
are doubtless MANY other Americans
for whom so much can be said, but it
is something to be able TO say SO much
for President elect. 1t can also be
said of him that the public. welfare, a:
he sees it, has always been his guide
For nearly six years he has been Gov.
ernor of Ohio, and during that time il
no case, it is said, has personal friend
ship dictated his action. About a yeal
ago there was vacancy in the police
board of Cincinnati, which he was re.
qired to fill. A gentleman of high
character was earnestly urged for the
place by nearly all the prominent Re
publicans of the city, but Governor
Hayes steadily refused to appoint him
and only for the reason that the pro
posed nominee was an intimate per.
senal friend for many years. During
his term the White House will not be
a sealed book. No more democratic
man-using that word in its general
not partisan sense-than Rutherford
b. Hayes ever lived.-Corresponeac.

"Messrs. Steele, Griffenstein and
Sol Ii. Kohn went to Topeka Monday
morning to help our Representatives
in the Legislature to get bill passed
or an act repealed SO that SedgWick
county cah compel Harvey to pay her
sortion of the railroad bonds. Some
times when people won't WILLINGLY do
what is right they can be made to do
so."- Wichita Eagle.
An old saw says that it is not safe
to crow till you are out Of the woods.
From what we can learn compulsion
in this case will not compel. Wichita
may be able to "bulidoze" a Texas
cattle herder, or they might be able to
run Cheap John whisky saloon when
there was no objection, but from all
appearances, at this writing they have
failed to get through their little bond
steal at the expense of Harvey county.
The young editor of the EAGLE seems
to forget that the editor of the Times
is Senator for Harvey Walnut Val-
ley Times.
And the snoozer that is chopping
out copy for the Times printed all the
above for the sake Of telling us that
the editor of the Times is Senator.

Our Next President.
The Inauguration of Mr.. HAYES


The Inauguration of Mr.. Hayes as
President of the United States took
place last Monday, March 5th. He be-
ing the legally elected President. hav-
ing received one hundred and eighty
five votes, majority of one in the
electoral college, the tribunal created
by Congress for the purpose of deter
mining who was elected rendered q
verdict IN his favor, and it meets with
the hearty appreciation of a great ma
jority of the people of this Nation.
Mr.. Hayes is Republican in the tru-
est sense of the word. A good, wise
and safe man to administer the affairs
of our Government.
The work before him is difficult
one, besct with difficulties which we
can all see and with which we are all
familiar The blending of all sections
of the south into one common interest
to blot out from politics the color line,
all of which depends as much, or
more, on social and moral influence as
party administration. His policy
with the southern States will be to
form reconciliation between the
native white element of the south and
the colorcd man. that the conditions
on which peace and prospesity are
based are equal rights to all, justice
toward all; the rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness TO the
freedman as well as the white aristo-
crat. With Hayes in the Presidential
chair, we have a man with an honest
public record; in fact man of no an
tecedcnts or associations to cause
mistrust or fear. We know the re-
suits of the war will not be reversed
or declared a failure, nor the work OF
reconstruction botted out. BY his
non-interference all through the cam
paign, betraying, neither by word nor
action q disposition unbecoming a
true patriot that he is.
He goes into the Presidential chair
under circumstances which must be a
check TO all mere partisanship. We
have great faith that the country will
not be disappointed in him. II he car
ries out the principles laid down in
his letter of acceptance all will be
well, aud this we are satisfied he will
do. What the country wants is good
government, and the removal of bur-
dens from industry will Immediately
take place. The sun of new pros
perity seems to be rising in the east,
and on each ray of light which falls
from it is written ''peace aud prosper
ity." a peace that comes from a
faithful observance of the constitution
and full recognition of the rights of
all men. With this as the guiding
principle of the Chief Magistrate, he
can go coniidentially forward, relying
firmly upon the patriotic support OF
patriotic people.

The Democrats tell us the country
will not be In accord with President
HAYES, This is not SO evident. The
New England States give Hayes thir-
ty-four electoral votes and Tilden six.
The Pacific States give Hayes fifteen
electoral votes and Tildcn none. The
Western States give Hayes eighty
eight electoral votes and Tilden fif.
teen. Here are three great sections
in accord with Hayes. OF the 23l
electoral votes of the northern States
Hayes received 166. The uorth then
is satisfied. The south, as represented
in Congress, has already spoken.
There is comfort for the revolutionary
Democrats nowhere.-Atchison Cham
The Wichita city eagle., 1877-03-08

A proposition will be submitted to
the people providing for an amend
ment TO the Constitution requiring our
State officers to be elected every tive
years as heretofore. The last amend
ment providing for biennial sessions
of the Legislature, taken in connection
with decision of the Supreme Court
list Kansas, Robinson VS.. Crawford
will allow our present Governor and
State officers TO hold for four years.
which is not in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things.
The Wichita city eagle., 1877-03-08

The closing sentences in President
Hayes letter of acceptance are as fol.
lows:
With civil service organized upon
a system which will secure purity, ex-
perience, efficiency, ,and economy; with
strict regard for the public welfare
solely in appointments; with the
speedy, thorough, and unsparing pros
ecution and punishment of all public
officers who betray official trusts;
with sound currency; with educa-
unsectarian and free to all; with sim
plicity and frugality in public and pri-
vate affairs, and with fraternal spirit
of harmony pervading the people OF
all sections aud classes, we may rea-
sonably hope that the second century
of our existence as a Nation will, by
the blessing of God, be pre-eminent as
an era of good feeling and a period of
prosperity and happiness.

Whatever possessed Mr.. Wilder, the
