From ali parts of the country re.
ports come Of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that deserv-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable "STANDARD," the
price Of which the proprietors wisely
reduced tO $50, including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for
them popularity among the peo-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
ed by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the "STANDARD." Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outsell
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality ana low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead of all others in beauty and
durability Of its work, ease of man
agement, light running and certainty
of operation, is senSibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
ing parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular, that will outlast
any Machine, and at a price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
orderfree of charge. And sent to any
part of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment of
the bill. We can predict equally as
large Il demand for them in this
section as in others. Families desir-
ing the best Machine manufactured
should write direct to the Factory.
And enterprising persons wishing to
seize the chance should apply for so
desirable an agency. See advertise
ment in another part of this paper.

1--WE WANT A CHANGE."-"We
want change" is the universal
Democratic cry. So they did in 1861.
AS means to the change they fired
upon the old flag over Sumter. They
then wanted change in the destruc-
ton Of the advancing forces Of civil
ization and freedom, which threat
ened to 0verwhelm their oligarchy.
They got change--in the destruc.
ton of slavery and the conquest of
the oligarchy-in a substitution Of
civilization and freedom for barbar.
ism and slavery. OF course now again
they want change-or relapse into

Congressman Morse, of Boston,
who has been nominated for re-elec-
ton by the democrats of the fourth
district of Massachusetts, gives forth
no uncertain sound on the currency
question in accepting his renomina-
tion. He believes the government
must resume specie payment as the
law has already provided, and that
the pledges of the national ith must
be honestly redeemed in gold. He
says he believes further, with Sena-
tor Bayard, of Delaware, that fur
ther issue of legal-tender notes would
be unconstitutional, and that such IA
course would tend to unsettle busi-
ness in general, and especially des-
troy that confidence in the security OF
private enterprise without which
there cannot he work and wages for
the workingmen of the land. Mr..
Morse is leading Boston merchant,
made a useful and intelligent Repre-
sentative, and the Indications are
that he will be reelected by large
majority.

FEAR THE BROTHERHOOD MEN WILL
OPPOSE THE NEW HELP.

TOPEKA, April 6. The strike on the railroad
seems to have ended. All trains arrived and left
yesterday Is usual, though somewhat late. Engi-
neers and hremen came from Kansas CITY, offer.
ing their services, and have been given positions
as fast As vacancies occurred. Men in the shops
took the oath Of special police and guarded the
trains, and last evening were on duty at the depo
and around the shops. One freight train came
from the East. Nothing definite is arranged, but
the strikers evidently desire to make arrange
ments. The officers OF the road are firm and
probably will make no concessions. They believe
the strike entirely unwarranted.
later despatch says new engineers and fire.
men are arriving, and are put to work. At Em
poria the excitement is intense. The strikers are
having open sympathysof the citizens. A number
OF engines have been diiched and some violeuc
offered: committee of citizens of Topeka visit.
ed SuP't Morsa to-day, After hearing the story
OF the strikers, nothing was concluded upon, but
the strike will probably end now, unless . coils
ION occurs between the brotherhood and the new
engineers. No freight has gone out since the
strike begun. The strikers are determined that
none shall. rs

THE RECENT REPUBLICAN eau.
Gus.
President Hayes Bitterly Criticised by
Logan, GOrham and Chandler.
THEIR PLANS CONCERNING THE FALL
CAMPAIGN.
The Construction of the Cabinet Strong
Iy Criticised.

NEW YORK, April 6. 1t is stated that in the re-
cent republican caucus at Washington, Hayes WAS
bitterly criticised by Logan, Gorhsm and W. E.
Chandler and defended by Foster. The latter, in
response to the query what can we say to the
people for the administration :" said, with good
deal OF warmth that this is what they can say /:
That the admin istration has been in power
year, and there has not yet been . single scandal
connected with any department of government. /"
mat he asserted, 10 more than can be said Of any
previous administration for forty years. The ad-
ministraton is honest. Nobody accuses it of job
berry. II 10 respectable, and no matter how much
people may critlcise, no one lay its mistake to
dishonest motives. Its appointments have on the
whoe been good It's business, efficiently per
formed.
de then took up the Southern question and des-
cribed the situation at the time the Preside ut
came into office. lie asserted instead of the re-
publican party having been destroyed in the South
oy hayes II was particularly dead in every State
when the present administration came into power.
Foster contrasted Hayes cabinet with Grants
and long array of subordinate officers who had
proved incompetent or unfaithful, and reiterated
that no scandal of any kind had been fixed upon
any OF Hayes sppointees. 10 regard to the prop
osltion OF breaking with the President, be de-
nounced it as fraudulent and suicidal He warned
these who were criicising the President so Sc
verely, that people would certainly attribute their
hostility TO personal disappointment 10 regard to
patronage. and they would look upon the present
- an administration with honest purposes, and
upon these in Congress who opposing it, as
probably sore heads.
The proposition that the convention and sd-
dresses Of the congressional committee should re.
pudiate the President and in fact read him out of
the party, was opposed by Representatives Hale,
Rage and Phillips, who while they had nothing to
say for the administration, did rot see how any
thing was to be gained by advertising differences
between the President and party. They said it
should be their duty when the Congressional com
mittee recognized, to make An hone.t earnest
effort to bring about an understanding between
the President and party, to induce the former to
act 10 harmony with the latter. If this effort
failed then they would be in favor of conso dat
ing the party, ignoring the President and pushing
the campaign IN thelfall with all possible vigor.
They were opposed to any attack upon the Pres
dent from the republican ranks, thinking it hard
enough to have to carry the party burdens with
out is help.
The construction Of the Cabinet was strongly
OF, cted to, and several members of it, including
Schurz denounced rs impractical, men who were
not republican.
