WILL MORTON BACK HAYES +?

From the Cincinnati Times.
Without Senator Mortons assurance and
assistance Hayes would never have been
elected. Without his help in the electoral
com mission Hayes would never have been
president. Without his help now, and
that of the other tried and trusted Repub.
ican leaders, he would have no party to
back him

Mr.. Adams, in his felicitiously expressed
sentiment that, mo subsequent action.
however meritorious. can wash ;awaythe let.
tiers of that record, y is in perfect sympathy
with the feeling of the masses of the Dem
ocratio party. Mr.. Hayes cannot be held
in esteem by the Democratic voter. while
he retains the presidency; for it will be i'm
possible to convince us that he has not
gained his Office by fraud, and that he does
not know that he holds it by fraud, and
that he did not bargain indecentiy to Sc
cure it, when it seemed about to escape
him.

From the Boston TrdUelge

Senator Blaine knew what he was talk
ing about. He knew just what the country
knows shat the white liver has got hold
Of a majority of the Boston press to a
degree that makes it the mere servant OF
expediency. 1t is true that this disease
has a national existence, but the acute
sore is at the Hub, as was indicated by
the fierce bowls OF pain that went up from
the flock when Senator Blaine dropped his
shell in among them:

HIS POLICY SEEMS TO BE DEMOCRATIC.

Hayes has been thin blerigged into Mr..

out any policy save that which Mr.. Tilden
was elected to represent and execute.

POLICY DENOUNCED AS INFAMOUS.


Absolutely infamous" are the words
the Bangor Wing applies to the president 9
policy. AID the results of that policy are a
national shame" The captain, undoubt-

stealing the presidency, and its results,
when he penned these words.

CAMERON WITH BLAINE-THE FUR TO FLY.
From the Chnn5ers6urg Valley Spirit
We said. last week it would not be long
till we should hear thunder all around the
sky. The signs of a coming storm are
multiplying. Here, in our own state, the
home organ of the Camerons day by day
gives significant expressions of disapprova
of the administration desertion of the
southern Republicans.
Tyler tried hard to build up a party OF
which he should be the recognized head
but he failed. Fillmore made a weaker
and more Intellectual effort of the same
sort. Andrew johnson tried harder aDd
failed worse than either of them. i
Hayes makes the same experiment ht
will encounter the same fate. He is moi
a man of the right mould to create o,
even lead great party.

CORRESPONDENTS THAT SHOULD BE PUB

VIZ W. 170077'V n UV0Vv7'
We suppose it is better late than never
to discover that Messrs. Blaine and Nor
ton were drawsbacks in the late presiden-
tial canvass Perhaps President Hayes
had better be consulted on this point.
Perhaps, also, it would be we'll to ask for
the publication of the correspondence be,
tween the then governor of Ohio and
Messrs, Blaine, Morton, Ingersoli, and
others about the necessity of going to the
rescue of the Ohio Republicans. 1t may
be all very we'll for the new-found friends
of President Hayes to desire the destruc-
ton Of his older friends, but President
Hayes himself is not anxious to burn the
bridge that carried him safely over
Again we observe, ask him what he think!
about it.

DISORDER OF THE KIDNE Us
In all diseases affecting these organs whether
they secrete TOO much or too little water; or
whether they be afflicted with stole or gravel, or
with aches and pains settled in the loins over the
regions of the kidneys, these pills should be taken
according to the printed directions and the Oint-
ment should be well rubbed into the small of the
back al bed time, This treatment will give almost
immediate relief when all other means have failed.
For Stomachs Out of Orders.
No medicine so effectualy improves the tone
of the stomach those pills; they remove all
acidity occasiOned either by intemperauce or i'm
proper diet They reach the liver and reduce 1t to
healthy condition; they wonderfully efica-

President Hayes caps the climax of the
folly of Republicans in restoring rebels to
citizenship. $50" =. - . -
If Democratic principles are to be
dominant with the administration, let them
be carried out by Democrats. Let the
Democrats make the most of their OPP
portunity. But let Republicans, stunned
though they be by this unexpected blow.
unite and gather all their strength for a
patriotic effort to again redeem the country
from the incubus Of the Democracy, as in
1860 TO '65-not by resort to arms, nor by
a factious opposition to any good measures
which may be put forward. but by electing
Republican president and Republican
congress.
This may appear hopeless, but it is nc
more hopeless than it appeared from 1851
TO 1856, when the Fugitive Slave law com
promise caused the detection of such
trusted friends of freedom as Daniel
Webster and Millard Fillmore, and when
the Kansas-Nebraska atrocity was sus-
tanned by the whole power of the govern.
ment, aud wrong seemed triumphant
Then, as now, nearly every journal of the
country, and the self styled business men,
were 10 favor of compromise and the sac
rifce of right and justice for peace. Peace
| is desirable. But while God reigns there
can be no peace with oppression. Govern
ments are divinely instituted, net merely
to collect and disburse revenues, but Il
maintain justice for the weak, and to be
terror to evil doors. For what else do WI
want government at all?
| Under the present complication of evil
it may appear hopeless to elect a Repub
lican president and congress. But, never
rheless, the safety of the country ard tn
perpetuity of Republican institutions ar
at stake and depending thereon.

WILL CONKLING MEASURE LANCES WITH
BLAINE?
From the Nashville American.
Mr.. Conkling has an opportunity now to
show what sort of stuff the gray matter of
bis brain.is made of. That he will meas
ure lances with the fiery Blaine is almost
certain, and he will fight on Blaine's
ground, too. with the advantage of the
offensive in favor of the Maine senator
Blaine will attack the administration as
sure as there is a Calleo session of congress
if it happens then to suit his personal
aims. He can bring on the fight when and
in what way it pleases him. That it will
be dramatic and sensational in the very
highest violently aggressive, rev.
dictionary, extremely radical-no one who
knows the man can doubt. He is now
fully committed to opposition. When Mr..
Blaine spoke in the senate he swore eter-
nal fealty to carpet Dagger and negro, to
Chamberlain and Packard. No one mis-
understood his hypocritically expressed
belief that the administration would never
abandon the southern Republicans. The
manner in which he indicated Mr.. Hayes
from suspicion of such treachery showed
thst he firmly believed he was contemp.
lating that very desertion as fixed fact
dis attack in the senate will be gage oi
battle to his old enemy, and all eyes will
rest upon Conkling as the man to meet him
aud crush him.

Morris has received fracture of the

cutting through bottom of tho car. acci-
dentally struck Morris on the head with
an Ak. Parrish had his left leg severely
lacerated. Parties who were on tho train
