President Hayes rivals AItemus Ward in his
Willingness to sacrifice his wifes for the good
the country.
Ten thousand dollars to vindcate Senator

1t is to be hoped that the President will not
Withdraw the troops from Maine aud abandon" anybody
in that portion of the country until the great question
who recommended Nj. Collector Morrill, has been peace
ably settled.
The putrescent pools of our civil and diplo-
matte service will not be thoroughly fed by ripping
their surfaces with little windy rhetoric. The work
has started off all right but sanguine people mnst not
think the millennium has already set III.
The President will retire with one less bur-
upon his heart Congressman Cox has condescended
to call at the White Now. II Bogy and Morrison

cutting the thieves and rascals who trying

20 his policy il will be beneficial TO our people and 90 ar
redeem Hayes from the odum that now attaches to
his title"
There is no harm in wondering what might
have happened Mr. Iden had CHANGED to secure votes
enough to have made him President. IL il Demo
cratic Executive who proposed TO relax the rigorous sup
port the negro there would at once have been revived
apprehensions and anpathes which all are anxious TO
see terminated whereas Republican President repre-.

with less opposition because such course give no
reasonable occasion for suspicion This Is doubtless one

ever, his nephew, fails TO see It,
The Ohio papers unite in commencing the
nomination OF Stanley Matthews for Senator from that
State. The Cincinnati Enquirer gives him this warm IN
dorscmcnt: Mr.. Matthews is man Of shining talents

sentiay Democratic in the true OF that torn Ana
when to this added the known disposition OF the class
of politicians by whom the President Is Immediately sur
rounded and his own favorable to the deyeopneatot
the Southern resources her educational and Improve
interests, It would seem to be another c0ns'nhh
ton OF party fatality TO resist such favorable apVo
