IT is said Mr.. Hayes expressed indig-
nation at the way he is treated by the
Republicans of the Senate. They refuse
to act on the more important appoint.
ments he sends in, and hang them up in
Committee, thus the old occupants of the
places hold on to their positions. Mr..
Hayes is said to have declared he
will not make any more appointments
until the Senate gives some indication Of
a purpose to perform It's duty and act.-
1t is claimed the public service is suffer-
ing from this treatment. Many changes
in offices Of considerable prominence
have been in contemplation for a con-
siderable time-some since last summer,
and the candidates and their friends
have been kept in state of uncertainty
by no means pleasant.

THE Germantown pa Telegraph AN Ole
time Republican paper, sums up the po'
litical situation in this State as "partizar
chaos" and gives these reasons for the
faith that is in it,
"Nothing else than political chaos
could have led to such utter Republican
routes as those in California and Ohio,
and there is even said to be danger that
faction fights among the Republicans in
Pennsylvania will cause the loss of the
Governor and Legislature next NoVem-
Der. One faction is preparing to sacri-
fee the Governor to save the Senator
ship, and the other faction is preparing
in like manner to elect a Democratic
Legislature in order to make sure of
Cameron's defeat. 1t will probably re-
quire several years for the great National
parties to recognize and assume distinct
shapes again. The Republican prestige
appears to be effectually destroyed, and
in all probability it will be very hard
work to build up a new prestige. The
party refuses either to sustain the Ad-
or to oppose it."

WE have always had great respect for
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and consider it
the ablest conducted newspaper in the
West, but if it continues to advocate a
split in the Democratic party by draw.
ing line between the East and West,
we shall let it alone severely.-ToIedO
Review.
The Enquirer does not exhibit the
same editorial weight it did before the
death of Bloss and the bouncing" of
Cockerill. In reply to the Reuiew the
Enquirer says: "We have not advised
a split in the Democratic party" but
says, "aUS 1Uant Western harmony Eastern
harmony don't suit u.s." proving just what
the RevieoO intimates. The article goes
on proclaiming, "WE do not wish /"
this, and 1--WE want" that, until it is
evident the Enquirer prophet "will be
easily led, if he has his own way"
But for the same dogmatic, dictatorial,
abusive course of the Enquirer, sowing
seeds of hatred against the Eastern
Democracy, and especially Mr.. Tilden,
the opinion of good men is that Ohio
might have been carried for Tilden and
Hendricks in 1875.
Sagacious Democrats have grieved for
years over the course pursued by the
Enquirer in these respects. Lines drawn
between the East and West are wholly
uncalled for, and certainly any thing but
Democratic, The party has ever recog-
nized the motto, "No North, no South,
no East, no West, but the whole Union,
one and inseperable, now and forever"

PITTSBURGH always was crazy protec.
tive tariff place, and on Saturday they
had big tariff demonstration in which
it is claimed $4,000 were in line. 1t
is with view to prevent the passage Of
Woods tariff bill, modifying the outra-
geous protectivesystem that the Repub-
lican party leaders fastened upon the
country 16 years ago, and that has had
much to do in plunging the conntry into
its present financial ruin. Pittsburghers
ought to know the fact that our miseia-
BILE narrow tariff has shut us out of the
best markets of the world. and hence
caused the "overproduction" they yogroan
under and that has Cl,sed so many Of
their shops.

A MISTAKE.

There seems to be some mistake among
the country paT ers as to the author Of
the school bill being Democrat. The
gentleman who threatens to subvert the
glorious free school system of Ohio IS
Republican member Of the House named
Monahan. 1t is notthe Pope's toe which
agitates the waters, this time, and if our
free schools are overthrown it will not
be by Democratic votes or the influence
of Democrats. In the present shape of
the school bill not a dozen Democrats
will be found who will vote for it, con-
seouently it will be still.born offspring
of the sorrel-top daddy, who is the most
radical Of the Republican members of
the General Assembly.-Plain Dealer Co.
