What can the most ardent admirer OF
President HAYES or his administration
see in the action of the Michigan Repub-
licans, that would not be acceptable to
Republicans everywhere? The ConVen-
ton was large, and composed of earnest,
active Republicans,-men who do not
believe that the mission of the great Re-
publican party is fulfilled, or that SO
great party can be destroyed by the
acts of one man. The platform is an
old time, ringing enunciation of Repub-
lican principles. There was no buncombe
in regard to the President or his affairs,
INDUCED in. The Potter investigation
was denounced. Ex-Secretary Zachariah
Chandler, who. as Secretary of the lnte-
rior, was such an excellent officer that
Carl Scnurz could find no fault with his
administration, was chairman of the
convention. The Governor and Lieuten-
ante Governor were renominated by accla-
nation. For State Treasurer, B. d.
Pritchard, the captor of jeff. Davis, was
nominated The proceedings were per
fectly harmonious, and the utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed.
| There was but one cause which pre-
vented a like Convention in Ohio. We
have among us class of self righteous
Civil Service Reformers, who have been
playing the part of aunkeys to the Presl
dent, ever since his inauguration. They
have waited thus far in vain for their ex
pected reward The Reform Administra
ton is scarcely through with its McLlns
Dennises and Andersons, and has not, uE
to this time, had any spare appointments
to deal out to the Ohio faithful. Bu
they are like the persevering youth who
was after the wood chuck, they believ'
that their reward will come, because i
must come. These statesmen lose nj
opportunity of showing their zeal TO
President Hayes. 1t is their business tt
get into Conventions. And once IN Con
vention, they must see to 1T that tn
President is indorsed; not because tn

demand it, or will be likely to tolerate ii
not because they consider it to be tn
legitimate business of the Convention
but simply to make an exhibition of thel
) zeal for the President and his fortunes
in the hope that some stray appointment
may come in their direction.
This class of politicians have no esp'
/ cial desire for the success of the Reput

Henry Watterson made speech at
the Soldiers Home in Dayton the other
day, in the course of which he said:
L should like to be autocrat for one
day. l would double the pension of each
Of you. l would multiply institutions of
this kind. And in dealing out the ben
efices of the Government with no mig
gardly hand, l would not stop upon Ma
son and Dixon's Line, but would see to it
that the crippled veterans of the South
got a little along with the rest. In sober
earnest, l would ask nothing for myself

all for myself that | am ready to give.
In Republic there must be no discrimi-
nation. Equality is indispensable to fra
ternity. We are not malignant people.
We are race of practical philosophers
and each one Of us is statesman enough to
know that the war is over.
We think we remember to have heard
that the war is over but we have yet to
learn that there must be no discrimina
ton between justice and injustice; oi
that any reason can be given why pen
sions should be equally distributed be
tween those who fought to save theil
country and those who fought to destroy

THE appointment, by the President
Of one A H. Leonard to be an United
States District Attorney, in Louisiana,
must have been made without sufficient
acquaintance with his record. He turns
out to have been rabid white-leaguer,
and advocated assassination as a political
policy. To appoint such man to an
United States office looks too much like
trucking to the fire eating elements of
the South. 1t is to be hoped that the
President will Withdraw his nomination. y

Detective Snelbaker, who has been
searching for the body of young Devins,
stolen from the grave at the same time
of that of the late J. Scott Harrison last
week discovered that the cellar of
the Miami Medical College at Cincinnati
had been used as packing house for
preparing dead bodies for shipment.
The bodies were shipped from Cincinnati
to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Snelbaker fol-
lowed the clue obtained at the College,
went to Ann Arbor, and found, in the
Medical College at that place large
number of human bodies, picked in a
vat Among them the detective found
the body of young Devins.

When the flashing of Gen. Beatty's
sword, the rumble and thunder of can
non, the crash of musketry, and the
shouts of the Generals brave comrades
and followers, as they charged the enc
my's works, were writing the brightest
pagein the history of the Republican par
ty, certain Republicans were at home, ap-
plaudlng the action of Beatty and his
brave comrades, and praying Jehovah to
nerve their strong right arms to strike
down the traitors who were assailing the
life of the Nation. Last week, at Cincin-
natl, some of these same Republicans
attempted to hiss Gen. Beatty down for
maintaining, by word of mouth, the same
principles which he had before carried
into the heart of the enemy's country,
on the point of his sword. Times S
changes are wonderful to behold

There was some apprehension, last
week, in some of the cities, over rumors
of an intended strike by the employees of
the principal railroads. Many railroad
officials and employees were interviewed,
however, and knew nothing about an in
tended strike These rumors probably
originated in the mutterings of the Com
munistic element, which has been getting
a little bold of late. The prompt meas
ures taken by the authorities at Quebec
the other day, are not calculated to give
much encouragement to the Communistic
agitators An uprising in this country
would doubtless be met by property
holders with still more vigorous meas
ures. The man who attempts, by force
to take his neighbor's silver, will proba-
bly, get lead, instead.

We do suppose that Circleville can
boast the champion idiot of the United

exhibition on the streets still further
showed the emptiness of his upper story.
And this cheerful idiot has still further
showed the emptiness of his upper story
by rushing into print and getting off the
following editorial in the same number
of the Union:
1--WE present below the platform which
was adopted, and would particularly urge
every Republican to read, mark, learn,
and inwardly d gest it; for it is full of
meat from the first word to the last Pc
riod 1t presents in undress array the
awkward squad of Democratic blunders
and mischievous Legislative enactments,
so disgraceful, unpatriotic.
| The clause referring to the Administra-
ton of President Hayes must prove en-
tirely satisfactory to all loyal and patri-
otic Republicans 1t is certainly suffi
ciently laudatory to please his most
enthusiastic admirers and broad enough
to afford standing room for all who disa
gree with him as to methods a~d details
It must be a dogmatc spirit indeed
which cannot discern through the mist
of doubt and uncertainty as to the wis
dom and political sagacity of particular
acts, the clearly defined purpose and spir
it of an honest and patriotic man, and we
would question the sincerity and loyalty
to the party of any one, calling himself ;
Republican, who, in the selfishness O.
pride of individual opinion, cannot assent
for the common good, to the wise anC
discreet expressions OF this clause Of tn
platform"

The Democratic House has decided by
a large majority, that the Presidents
title is unassailable 1t is not the Presi-
dents title, however, that the Potter
committee are after-it is the President
himself. The Hayes newspapers are bit
terly assailing Gen. Butler for attempt
ing to make out case which would call
for the impeachment OF President Hayes.
And the worst of it is, they can'tget Ben
iamin to deny that such is his object.
