morning says if President Hayes vetoes
either or both of the appropriation bills he
will grieyously disappont the reasonable
expectations of the public if lie does not
justify 50 important an act by very cogent
and convincing reasons A veto affixed
simply at the command of his party might
satisfy the party leaders, but it would just
ly arouse storm of public indignation
against him as an act degrading to his Of
flee and insulting to the nation. The ar

lcans have affixed political legislation to

for the present action of the Democrats in
one case, while Hayes representative in

himself.
