From the Cincinnati Times
Mutiny is Simply Suicide.
To the Editor of the Cincinnati Times:

"To the Editor of the Cincinnati Times:
"You say, in answer to correspond
ent, If, at the opening OF the great war,
the Commander-in-C Chief of our troops
makes a mistake, is aught to be gained
by portion Of the forces rising in mutt
nyT Permit me TO say that it appears
to me that Hayes is trying to march the
Republican party into the Democratic
Rebel camp. that he may surrender it.
and that i propose to mutiny-if you SO
call it-in preference to surrends ring.
There was time when the Republican
party insisted that treason should be
made odious and traitors punished.
Hayes seems to be laboring to make trea-
SON a virtue. He has already placed
traitors in the highest positions in the
Government, and now proposes an ova-
tion to them at Marietta.
II wonder that the murdered Union
soldiers do not rise from their graves and
rebuke him.
The show now travelling over the
country in the interest of peace of recon-
ciliation' is one of the most humiliating
spectacles ever presented in this country.
The only way 10 put a stop to this non
sense is for all true Republicans to fatty
refuse to vote for the nominees of any
convention that indorses it, A large ma
jority of the true and thinking Republi-
cans Of Ohio are, to-day, opposed to
Hayes policy his Civil Service Reform.
and are mortified at the proceedings OF
his caravan in perambGlating the coun-
try; and if they will stand firm to their
principles and adhere to their convic
tions Of right and propriety, instead OF
being coaxed or driven into the support
of measures to which they are opposed,
and Of conduct which makes them blush,
under the specious cry Of sustaining the
party in opposition TO the Democracy,
they will save the good old party that
saved the country, and which pretended
friends are trying to destroy as prete nd
ed friends tried to destroy the Union. i.
Mr.. Editor it would be well for you and
others not to despise the Beatty move
ment. 1t is q power capable OF making
itself felt in the coming election, and it
is to be hoped that it will do so, and
teach the dough-faces that Republican
principles are worth preserving and are
not to be surrendered into the hands OF
the enemy by leaders who would if they
could, have surrendered the Republican
party, even as far back as the early days
Of Gen. Grants Administration.
REPUBLICAN"
THAT Republican principles are worth
preserving, and are not to be surrendered
into the hands of the enemy"-that is
our idea, exactly. And it seems to us
that every effort you are making Is to
surrender the State of Ohio into the
hands of the enemy-to-wit, the Demo
cratic party. The purpose of our October
election is not to determine whether
Ohio is O Hayes State, or an anti Hayes
State, whether it is for the Southern pol
icy or against the Southern policy, or
whether it believes in Schurz, or Evarts
or Key 1t Is an election to determine.
whether the Republican party or the
Democratic party shall control the ma.
chinery of the State, and. beyond that, to
determine in a large degree. which shall
hereafter control the Nation. We look
upon it as Of vital importance to the fu-
ture of the party and its principles that
Ohio shall stand firm as a Republican
State. If things are not just to suit you,
the remedy is to re establish the suprem-
acy of the party, and then to effect re-
form within the party. To hand the
whole affair over to the Democracy is
simple suicide. Give us q sound Repub-
licah Congress, and a Republican Gov.
ernmeut in a majority Of the States, and
there will be no trouble about the course
of the Administration. In that direc
tion lies our safety. In the direction
which you are pursuing lies party dis
ruption and ruin.
