take another OF those deadhead progresses
through tho country which have been the
special feature Of his administration. Mr..
William M. Evarts Of New York, Washing
ton and Vermont, is said to have been the
original inventor Of this peculiar method
Of winning political capital. The late An
drew Johnson, when President OF the
United States, used to do a good deal of
treveling. but it was with q definite and
aggressive purpose. Mr.. Johnson either
made a point or lost a point wherever he
went. He was a man Of positive character,
and had the happy faculty of exciting his
enemies to wrath and stimulating his
friends to enthusiasm when he swung the
circle. Hayes neither arouses enthusiasm
nor excites any adverse emotion stronger
than. pity or contempt. Mr.. Evarts'
method seems to be based on the idea that
the mere exhibition OF Hayes person from
the platform Of one Of Tom SCOTS railway
carriages, is enough to make the people
forget the great crime Of 1876, and toss
their hats in the air and applaud the
Fraud. The plan has already been tried
all the way from Mount Washington to
Lookout Mountain with results that would
discourage any person less sanguine than
the eminent attorney who devised it.
The objective point Of this last expedi-
ton is an agricultural fair in Minnesota.
Mr.. Hayes and his family will be accom-
panied by a number Of invited guests, who
will all nave FREQ transportation as far as
Tom Scott's railroads or connections go,
but will be charged for what they eat dur
ing the journey at the rate Of seventy-fve
cents a meal. The party is to travel under
the piloaage OF the entcrprising LIE Due
LIE Due knows Minnesota and is we'll
known there. He has arranged the cara
van as : sort Of triumph for himself. 1t
will be remembered that lie Due, was in the
commission business in Minnesota, a few
years ago, with the pious and poetical
Rogers fer q partner. The firm Of Rogers
LIE Due did a lively business on the
strength of q flattering recommendation
from Gov. Hayes but one day they sud
denly went into bankruptcy, greatly to the
surprise and %pecuniary distress of their
confiding creditors. There were ugly
charges Of fraud, obtaining money under
false pretenses, and much talk Of prose-
cutting the enterprising partners. If we
arc not mistaken, there are still suits
against lie Due in Minnesota courts,
growing out Of his singular bankruptcy.
It was moi long 6 that n Of the credi-
tors, despairing Of ever recovering any
thing from LIE DUO or Rogers, seriously
proposed to sue Hayes for having lent
his name to a swindle. Since
his failure, LIE Due has been
known in Minnesota as a lead beat, always
hard up both for money and friends. He
now proposes to revisit the State in tri-
umph, with the Fraudulent Administration
in his train. It would lend piquancy to
the journey If any Of Lie Dues creditors
should choose this opportunity to pounce
upon him with a process.
The Hayes party goes first to Fremont,
where the Fraudulent President will spend
Sunday at the Burchard homestead. tits
hardly more than q month since Hayes
last visited Ohio. He was then warned by
candid friends in Fremont not to expect
much enthusiasm from his old ~neighbors.
At that time the number Of Hayes Repub-
licans in Hayes own township was esti-
mated at thu ee. Mr.. Hayes will not find
that the strength Of his party at home has
increased during the dog days. Even his
former ardent supporter, Hon. Charley
Foster Of Fostoria, has turned his back
upon him. Aquiet Sabbath spent at the
scene Of his earlier anil more respectable
manhood, and among honest farmers who
formerly esteemed him as their peer in
honesty, may have } beneficial effect upon
Mr.. Hayes conscience. In that case the
Western trip will be q good thing.
From Fremont Hayes goes to Chicago to
attend . freman's parade. His presence
will make hardly more Of an impression on
the citizens Of that lively town than the ar
rival Of an empty grain car from the East.
HI next proceeds directly to st. Paul, to
visit the cattle show. There he will I'M
doubtedly excite a mild interest among the
farmers, second only to that awakened by
: prize squash or by a promising heifer.
Nj. Hayes and his companions intend to
travel a. far west as Bismarck, in Dakota.
This Is further West than he has been at
any timc since he stole Tilden's Office.
But IL Hayes were to continue on across
the continent, as Erring Brother Key pro-
poses 10 do, he would find even to the ex-
treme limits Of civilization the same abhor-
renee Of Fraud among the people, and the
same detestation Of the men who planned
it and proited by it.
Eighteen months or q year ago such .
journey would nave afforded o great deal
that is amusing, though perhaps not edi.
flying. But now the news Of Mr.. Hayes
progress viii fall fat even in the dulness
Of the summer season. The local papers
have ceased to report the inane utterances
q Mr.. Hayes and his travelling retinue.
Nobody CARES WHITTIER he goes or what he
says.
Tnx Democratic Central Committee Of
Storey have ordered The primaries for TO-
morrow. The County Convention meets
next Monday. when the delegates to the
