"HAyEs is poor weak creature who
tries to do rights the sum of the praise
bestowed upon the so-callcd President by
his Washington advisers. HIS opinions are
not respected, and there is not an underling
in any of the departments who is snubbed
by his superiors as often and papab'y as
Hayes is snubbed by the men who are sup
posed to be his advisers. His letters OF
recommendation to the heads of depart
mcnts are pigcon-holcd without ceremony,
and don't command the respect that is given
the verbal requests Of even the most OBJ
scure backwOods Congressman, Willie he
made pretencc to back bono in matters OF
civil service reform, he commanded the re
spcct Of 4 few Democrats; but now that 1t
has surrendered at discretion to the "stol
