- Cultivating the ThieXes.v

Reformcr SCHURz and other patriots met
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in this city, in
May 1876, just before the Republican and
Democratic National Conventions, and mod
cstly assumed to decide the Presidential
election. They affected the highest virtue,
and proclaimed the following as the con-
dition Of their supporting candidate for
the Presidency
THE 10 be intrust,d with the Pre- sidency this
wear have deserved not on the confidence of hon
est men but also the fear aud hatred of thieves he
who to rshsdts NE hisc. cannot be the cand
date Tor honest men. Every American citizen who has
the future of the republic aud the national honor scr
ou-y heart should solcnny resolve that country
must now have President whose name Is already
wacAwod OF reform Whose capacity and courage the
work are matters Of record rather than OF promise
These conditions fitted exactly to the
character and courage Of Mr.. TILDEN, as
shown III his war against the TWEED Ring,
when acting simply as II private citizen.
and III his work Of reform as Governor of
the State. No citizen or body Of citizens
would have undertaken either of these great
tasks unless Mr.. TILDES had put himself at
the head of the movement; and he may be
said, almost alone, to have achieved its sue
cess. Mr. HAYES, on the other hand,
had never lifted finger for any reform,
and was known to be wholly incapable Of
initiating one. His record in Congress was
below that Of the ordinary herd, while as
Governor of the State he made no mark,
and was hardly known outside the limits Of
Ohio.
In spite Of this contrast between the two
men, these independents. or Liberals rs they
called themselves, with few honorable eX-
ceptions. not only supported HAYES, but
became his ardent champions. And when
he was defeated, they joined the conspiracy
to cheat Mr.. TILDEN out OF the Presidency,
and some Of them are now sitting at his
council board. as beneliciaries Of the Fraud.
Rolormer ScHURz and his Associates could
not tolerate In Nav, 1876, "A candidate who had
not " the fear and hatred Of thieves But
they got over that sentiment soon after the
eth Of November. whcn in order to reach
the Presidency, it became necessary 10 or

least Of the many crimes perpetrated to
make success certain.
They told the country that he who man
ages to culti'at the thieves cannot be the
candidate for honest men" For the first
inc in the history Of the country the Pres
| idency was stolen by the aid Of these pro-
fcssional reformcrs," and the White House
has been converted literally into u den Of
thieves. The thieves who stuffed ballot
boxes stole T1LDEN votes, fabricated pro-
tests, forged false returns. and committed
perjury for political purposes, are those
who have been most cultivated " by HAYES,
and have been made special cases " for APP

and Refprmer EvARTs and other patrons Of

The Hon. EDWIN ID. MORGAN has made an
addition to his list Of servlces-long and
useful If not illustrious- the public. While
other statesmen have occupied themselves
in fixing a standard for our coin and cur
rency. he has contented himself with the
supply OF an accurate test for tho strength
of Hayosism in the State of New York
Mr.. MORGAN sent letter to Saratoga,
saying, President HAYES policy should
be approved"
Mr.. MORGAN is well understood TO be n
candidate for United States Senator. He
has now placed himself squarely on the
HAYES platform. The number OF votes Mr.
MORGAN receives for United States Senator
will be the exact measure of HAYES
strength in this state.
This will give Il peculiar interest 10 Mr..
MoRGAN's candidacy. 1t will be curious to
see how many votes he receives. or course
he will not receive enough to elect him. lie
may not receive any. But he will have
measured Hayesism-just n a man who
stumblcs in the snow has the satisfaction of
feeling that he has at least measured his
length.

JULIAN HARTRIDGE OF the First District

He introduced the equivalent resolution

IT, He Is one OF the last men whom tho
Democrats OF Georgia should think OF re-
turning TO Congress.
WILLIAM Z. SMITH Of the Second District,
and PHILIP Cook Of the Third, were mem
bers OF the Forty-fourth Congress, which
solemnly declared TILpEN elected Pres.-
dent. They remembered that solemn decla-
ration, and had the courage and fidelity to
vote No! TO both the BURcHARD resolution
and the one introduced by their timeserving
colleague, HARTRIDGE. SMITH and Cook
upheld the honor of Georgia on the day OF
general disgrace. They are able men as
well IA honest and should be kept in Con-
grcss as long as they will consent to serve
their State.
HENRY II. HARRIS of the Fourth District,
JAMES II. BLoUNT Of the sixth, WILLIAM II.

ToN STEPHENS of the Eighth, and HIRAM p

MlLION a. tANDLEN Oh inc run ulu not NOuc
at all on the BURcHARD resolution, but was
ON hand to help out the shameful theory of
his colleague HARTRGDGE. Every one of these
men should be set aside. with the exccp-
tion Of BELL, they were all members Of the
majority in the Forty-fourth Congress, and
had all helped to "solcmnly declare" TIL
DEN the legally elected President. Men
with such short memories, or consciences
SO ilimsy, are not worthy to represent Gcor-
gia at the national capital. ALEXANDER II.
STEPHENS has already managed to secure a
denomination. If the independent voters in
his district could succeed in shaking off this
old man of the sea, they would do the coun-
try service. He has wcaricd out half n
dozen generations at Washington, and now
stands there still as one of the most promi-
nent figures in the canonizatiOu Of Fraud.
Mr. DEvINE is right when he says that
this matter is Of vital local Importance. 1t
Is of supreme Importance, both locally and
nationally.

One Of the queer recent growths Of Mas
sachusetts politics is the Young Rcformer.
There are at least three distinct species Of
him. First there is the youthful Bostonian
Of the Brahmin caste, Il solemn and earnest
young person, oppressed by n sense Of the
seriousness of life and a consciousness of his
Fcdcralist grandfather. As a rule he wears
glasses, thinks universal suffrage n mis-
take. and Is fully of Mr. HEwITIs opinion
that the country's only chance of escaping
shipwreck lies in its collcge-bred young
men. Secondly, there Is the young poll
tcan, who docs not care a copper about re-
form, but who cares very much about Office
and rc7ent7 the selfish refusal Of the Older
men to get out Of his way; and, thirdly
there are few Young country law yers
doctors, and clerks, who make the Spring.,
field RCpuLicaa their political Bible, and are
anxious to "smash the machine" but do
not know exactly how to set about it.
Thus far, the Young Reiormcr has not
been lucky in his enterprises. A few years
ago he was an ardent ADAMS man, but the
Republican State Convention preferred
RICE. Year before last he was BRIsTow
man, and went to the length Of organizing
''iNA'ARN NiN''f 'AA ltStilA lllN ltA'''i N'o va
vain. This year he Is an ant-BCrLER man,
aud the chances are that he Is in for another
christening experience.
Let it he noted to the credit OF the eighty
young Massachusetts Republicans who met
| IN Worcester the other day, that they re-
/ fused to endorse HAYES. Young Mr.. HARRIS
OF West Boylo-ton was urgent for rccog.
milton Of IiAYEs's good intentions and Of his
services in "elevatlng the civil service;
but whilo MI HARRIS was writing out a
resolution to that effect, the meeting
abruptly adjourned. ~

A peculiar will contest is in progress in
Providence. II. l. Col. STEPHEN OLNEY. a
wealthy citizen. who had twice been a candidate
for Mayor and twice defeated as was alleged.
in consequence Of current rumors unfavorable
to his moral character. was in 1869 accused OF
an Infamous crime. This fact unsettled his
mind. and he suspected that his friends were
conspirinR to rob him Of his estate
and 10 poison him. About this time he
executed codicil to his will. leaving largo
portion Of his property TO n botanical institu-
ton. to the detriment OF his near relatives. The
validity Of this codicil is now disputed. at the
cost. Of course. Of raking up the old and almost
forgotten scandal. The evidence OF reputable
citizens goes to show that Col. OLNEY was
driven to insanity by tho accusation against
him. The case was never brought to final
trial. but. II he was guilty his own thoughts
seem to have been punishment enough. II in

OLNEY spent his last days in the Butler Hospital

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-iSr: Some
Of these days a new edition OF Shakespeare will

Three or four years ago one OF the New York

prepared himself for the heavy part OF the
work by procuring two copies OF all approved
edition OF the plays. cutting the leaves apart.
and pasting on detached sheets Of blank paper
each successive page of the volumes. He then
provided himself with Il dozen or more OF the
most approved editions Of Shakespeare, in
Guiding two variorums and the folio of 1923.
Thus provided and thus surrounded. he began

inasmuch as the Forty-four,h Congress
counted the votes for HAYES and WHEELER,
there is no power in any subsequent Con-
grcss, in the courts ~ the United States, or
in any tribunal created by Congress, to re-
verse the result.

that the people have no remedy. 1t Is an

JOHN SHERMAN Is n millionaire. He ac-
qulred his fortune during q Congressional
career of eighteen years, with a salary
ranging from three thousand to five thou
sand dollars per annum. During this time
he devoted himself exclusively to politics,
but he was fortunate enough to be Chair
man of the Senate Committee of Finance
when all the largo loans were issued, and
was the confidential friend Of JAY COOKE,
through whose hands most Of them passed
He therefore enjoyed the best opportuni-
ties for getting rich and he knew how to
improve them.
OF all the members Of the Fraudulent Adj
ministration, he has been the most forward
and persistent in requiring the olllccholders
to be assessed for money to be used Mt the
elections this fall. lie set the example Of
removing n competent subordinate in the
Treasury for no other reason than because
OF his refusal to be blackmailcd. All the
lower grades of clerks from 81 200 year
down are arbitrarily taxed one per cent. on
their pay, and the assessment Is graduated
upward to two per cent, the heads of bu-
rcaus being expected TO pay more than the
levy on the clerks. SHERMANs salary Is
