1OlHk Ntots
tits prctcntiously announced from Wash
lngton that at the end Of the present week
Mr. HAYES and his rctinuc will undertake
another Of those dcndhcad progresses
through the country which have been the
special feature of his administration. Mr..
WILLIAM VI. EvAkTs Of this city, Wash
ington, and Vermont, is said to have been
the original inventor Of this pccularm method
Of winning political capital. Tho late An
DREW JOHNSON, when President Of tho
United States, used to do a good deal Of
travelling, but IL was with definite and ag-
grcssivc purpose. Mr.. JOHNSON either made
point or lost point wherever he went.
He was man of positive character, and had
the happy faculty Of exciting his enemies to
wrath and stimulating his friends TO en-
thusiasm when he swung the circle HAYES
neither arouscs enthusiasm nor cxcitCs any
adverse emotion stronger than pity or con-
tempt Mr.. EyARTs's method seems to be
based on the idea that the mere exhibition
of HAYEs's person from the platform ~ one
Of TOW SCOTTs railway carriages is enough
to make the people forget the great crime Of
1876, and toss their hats in the air and APP
plaud the Fraud. The plan has already been
tried all tho way from Mount Washington to
Lookout Mountain with results that would
discourage any person less sanguino than
the eminent attorney who devised it.
The objective point OF this last expedition
is an agricultural fair in Minnesota. Mr..
HAYES and his family will be accompanied
by n number of invited guests, who will all
have FREQ transportation as far ms Tom
SCoTTs railroads or connections CO. but will
lao oil f.p sci Ia, .ot la
journey at the rate Of sevonty-fvc cents
meal The party is to travel under the pi-
lotago OF the cntcrprising LIE Due. lie
DUC knows Minnesota and Is well known
there. lie has arranged the caravan AZ
sort Of triumph for himself 1t will be re-
WONDERED that LIE DUC was in the commits
sion business in Minnesota few years ago,
with the pious and poctical RoGERs Tor a
partner. The firm of Rooms ~ LIE Due dida
lively business on the strength Of n Halter
ing recommendation from Coy. HAYES; but
one day they suddenly went into bank
ruptcy, greatly to the surprise and pccu-
mary distress Of their confding creditors.
There were ugly charges Of fraud obtaining
money under false prctences, and much talk
Of prosecuting the entorprising partners.
II We are not mistaken, there are still suits
against LIZ DUO in the Minnesota courts,
growing out Of his singular bankruptcy. 1t
was not long ago that one Of the creditors.
dcspairing ofcvcr recovering anything from
LIE DUc or Rooms, seriously proposed to
sue HAYES for having lent his name to
swlndlc. Since his failure, lie Orc has been
known in Minnesota rs dead beat, always
hard up both Tor money and friends. He
now proposes 10 revisit the State in triumph,
with the Fraudulent Administration in his
train. 1t would lend piquancy to the jour
ncy il any OF LIE Dues creditors should
choose this opportunity to pounce upon him
with process.
Tho HAYES party goes first TO Fremont,
whore the Fraudulent President will spend
Sunday at the BURCHARD homestead. 1t Is
hardly more than month since HAYES last
visited Ohio. He was then warned by can
did friends in Fremont not to expect much
enthusiasm from his old neighhors. At that
time the entire number OF HAYES Republic
cans in HAYEs's own township was csti-
mated at three. Mr.. HAYES will not find
that the strength OF his party at home has
increased during the dog days Even hi-
former ardent supporter, the Hon. CHARLEY
FOSTER II Eo7toria, has turned his back
upon him. 4 quiet Sabbath spent ut the
scene 81 his earlier and more respectable
manhood, and among honest farmers who
formerly esteemed him as their peer in hon
osty, may have beneficial effect upon Mr..
HAYrs's conscience. In that case the West
crn trip VIII be good thing.
From Fremont HAYES goes to Chicago to
attend n ilrcmans parade His presence
will mako hardly more Of an impression on
the citizens Of that lively town than the ar
rival Of an empty grain car from the East
| lie 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 promising heifer. Then
Mr.. HAYES and his companions intend to
| travel as far West as Bismarck, in Dakota.
This Il further West than he has been at
any time since he stole T1LDEN's office. But
| ifllAYEs We're to continue on across the conti-
nent, as Erring Brother KEY proposes to do,
| he would find even to the extreme limits Of
| civilization the same adherence Of Fraud
among the people, and the same dctcstation
Of the men who planned 1t and proftcd by it,
Eighteen months or year ago such
| journey would have afforded great deal
that is amusing, though perhaps not edfy-
| ing But now the news Of Mr.. HAYEs's
| progress will fall Hat even in the dulness Of
the summer season. The local papers have
ceased to report the inanc uttoranccs Of Mr.
HAYES and his travelling retinue. Nobody
cares whittier he goes or what he says.
