Boston Post: "rho conversion of
Huy rs to the lonesome cause of Il.
Chandlor is believed to bo owing to
compunctions of conscience. The
case is fully explained by u porusal
Of the kilograms which reveal what
Chandler did for Hayes election,
so-called."
Albany Argus: "rho Republicans
have already proved that the Prcsi-
doncy, to be had at all, had to DO
bought, and that tht Democrats
did not buy it from Eho Republi-
cans, who offered it to them. That
the Republicans, who finally got it.,
bought it, goes without saying

St. Louis Post and Dispatch:
"In 1876 Grantw President Zach
Chandler, Secretary of the Interior;
Don Cameron, Secretary Of War !;
Roboson, Secretary Of tho Navy-a
set Of most daring and dangerous
dcspcradocs. But how absurd to
compare in 1880 the feeble and
theoretical Hayes and Schurz, old
Thompson and obscure McCrary to
the determination and desperate
daring of their predecessors
Grant, Chandler, Cameron and
Robeson No, no! Whatever else
may bo possible, the repetition of
the frauds of 1876 is not possible
at least not by the Republicans. If
the Democratic candidate shall re-
ceivc one hundred and o1ghty~tivo
electoral votes he will bo inaugu-
rated us surely rs there will be a
fourth Of March, 1881"
New York Sun: "But the great
and almost sole point of publ c
interest in the matter is how
Samuel j. Tilden will emerge from
the inquiry. He. too, is to be
judged justly. He is not to be hold
accountable for the acts of any othor
person, unless those ACTS were an
thorized or approved by him. The
sentiments Of the American people
are too elevatel; their love of jus
tice is too sincere; their resolve
that the right shall prevail is too
determined for them ever to consent
that one of their chosen leaders
shall be showed aside for acts which
were not, in any sense, his. If the
evidence destroys Mr.. Tilden, de-
stroyed he will be. If, on the other
hand, in q fair, careful, intelligent
Judgment, the evidence acquits him,
he will occupy place in the regard
of the people warmer than he ever
held before"
Philadelphia Times. ut is worth
while to Call President Hayes at
tention to the lnct that he has ap-
pointed TO Il position abroad one of
the men who was most active in the
theft Of the dispatches from the
committee room. That is Bullock,
former messenger Of Morton's COM
mittee, but now United States
Consul at Cologne. If the Presis
dent knew Of Bullock's crime he is
as guilty rs Bullock if he did not
know it, then he will make himself
guilty by permitting his continu-
ance in office as u representative of
this government, since the sworn
confession of tho assistant post
master general makes Bullock but q
thief. He should be summarily dis
missed if tho President is to he
respected. It would seem that
there has already been quite enough
of this sort of business to satisfy
the ambition of an Administration
which started on a reform basis"
