Under the forms Of law, Rutherford d. Hayes

His title rests upon Acknowledgement Of lawful

people confronted with the fact Of fraudulently-

A CoMPLMENT.-The editor of the
Lewistown Sentinel, in alluding to the
speech of Senator Wallace remarks
"Senator Wallace never speaks but he
says something - something to the
point, aud easy of comprehension. His
speech ut Lock Haven on the 9th gives
a clear, consse and forcibe elucidation
Of the financial issue involved in the
Congressional elections this fall. We
shall not mar its force by resume or
analysis, but give it to our readers
next week. 1t will aid materially in
dissipating the mists which both poll.

BADLY SOLD. - The result of the
Maine election has ruined more men
than Blaine and Hamlin. The Rev.
Gen. Garfield, OF Ohio, was sent down
there and did stump tho State all over.
The Cincinnati Enquirer in alluding to
the affair says; Farmer Garfield, who
was sent to Maine to do duty, consid.
ering the result, will appreciate the
following anecdote A staff command.
er was inspecting an English yeoman
ry regiment on outpost duty. What

HALL NoMINArED.-We are gratif.

Hon. John G. Hall, of Ridgway, for

Soon after Joe Bradley counted
Hayes into the Presidential chair, the

if carried out. But recently Hayes
has so openly dehed his own order,
that his conduct and that oi his Cabi.

members of his Cabinet, have been on
the stump in Ohio and Iowa for a
month past, rallying their friends,
