III is presumed that the insult to Mr.. Hayes re.

by the Mrs. X. b. Hayes Temperance Society,
printed last Saturday morning In our news column.
They were printed as part Of thencws OF the days,
Just Ms the proceedings Of a Democratic conSSnti0n
or other body would be published, although their
publication did not imply that the views expressed
were indorsed by THE REPUBLICAN. The president
Of the society publishes card denying the paternity
OF the resolutions and declaring the meeting which
adopted them 10 be irregular. The resolutions
were regular fur as the other members were con-
cerncd, and were furnished for publication by the
