THE RESIDENTIAL sTUMP1NG TOUR.

The President has shown ever since ais IN
auguration, such dee led liking for the
pleasuros and batteries IF excursion parties
bithcr and yoa, that it Is, perhaps, somewhat
uncharitable TO ascribe - him as a motive for
his present trip to aud trough the West any
thing more definite TIM a desire 20 have Il
good time. let himself seen and serenaded,
and give the good pcol of Minnesota and
Wisconsin chanca t.. see Mrs. Hayes and
observe, for themselves. Ter manner of comb
ing and dressing and putting up her somewhat
famous head of hair But MIR. Hayes has
been making sOnlo speeches con finance SO
the press reports inform us. At White Water
in northern Indiana, he made 4 speech con
finance" Putting together OUr recollection
of his veto of the Silver BIZ and his desire to
see hard money Congress in power, and re
winding ourselves Of Mr.. Secretary Sher-
mans conspicuous attitude i'll the Ohio cam
paign, we are not at all unprepared for the
following Interpretation Of the Presidents
movements as presented to US by the San
Francisco Post of September II: ''What does
it meanl Are Mir, Hayes and his Cabinet en-
gagged in swinging round the circle, Ia An
drew Johnson, at the bidding and i'll the in
terests of the Seligman- Drexcl national banks
syndicate2 1t looks like it. We ask that these
servants OF the country shall show play fair.
They have set up hole and cornoradvocacYo
their financial views III the bank parors Of the
a
dezvous at Washington, and are now engaged
III stumpiug the country III its behalf. SO far
We can see, it is a sheer case of party bull
dosing. 1t Is as mean but not as adroit a trick
az that by which silver was damonetized It's
character is as disreputa6le us the course pur-
sued during the silver debate in defaming the
motives aud seeking to blacken the good name
IF every maa engaged in the advocacy of the
double standard. 1t is as impudent i'll tone
a. the veto message returning the Silver bill
TO the House. Here are Messrs. Sherman,
McCrary and Thompson with the President,
all of them chief clerks only Of the country, |
going over the land attempting to bully by |
virtue of their positions and acknowledged |
J
publicans who do not believe in accepting
policy at the dictation of handful of officials |
and Congressman, however high in power or
heretofore respected in service. Besides, what |
business has the President with policy The |
only one that the executive of this country |
ought to know is the law--the will of the peo-
ple expressed through legislation. Mr.. Hayes
started to assert this under what he called the
civil service reform His famous order forbid
the mingling in political contests of official
agents of the federal government. Mr.. Hayes
is only the chief agent. Nothing more and
nothing less. There's homely adage which
we recommend to public consideration, and
that is what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander The Cabinet can determine
which term suits them. But it is the old, old
story of dou.hfacism. When, in ante bellum
DAYS, the slave power demanded the aid of
the executive it got it without fail Now the
syndicate and the Shylock money power de
lnand similar service; theyg it with alacrity
But let US at least be frank. Chadband and
Robert Niacaire, as Il compound, are not an
character Either is bad enough,
but mingled the result is uncomfortable. Mr.
Postmaster Filley, of st. Louis, is removed
because he favored an alliance with the green
back movement in Missouri on the basis of
opposition to the national banks, favOring
system of treasury currency in its place; OPP
position to Southern war claims, to contrac-
ton and forced resumption, and in favor OF
all citizens in the exercise of their
political and civil rights, South as well as
North Mr., Filley is removed for violation
If the civil service order What is to be done

'erse line of policy Surely Mr.. Filley's course
