OTTAWA FREE TRADER; SATURDAY JULY 81 $780,

Garflelds nomination is alss u triumph OF
the Ohio or Hayes type Of republicanism over
the stalwart article. II was like the touch of
death 10 the remnants of the party In the
South. There the old guard has practically
disbanded Stanley Matthews or Hayes him
self would have been more welcome to the re-
publicans Of that section. Neither whites or
blacks can perceive any reason why they
should support a man who guided Hayes into
the betrayal of 1877, who upset Packard and
Chamberlain, and who offered the entire Fed.
eral patronage South in payment for Conted'
crate votes for himself for Speaker. The stall
wart republicans have had enough Of Hayes,
and they are not eager to undergo the same
experience with Garfield.
Garfield must lose n large percentage of the
honest republican vote. He will not draw a
single recruit from the democracy, and 1t is
absurd to suppose that selfrespecting iadepen
dent voters, seeking manly moral purity Of
administration, would go to man who's rec.
ord is blotched with such offences. His nom.
ination was a colossal mistake, and the party
understood TINS in forty-slghs hours after it
was committed. But 1t is impossible to cor
rect it now, and the republicans who are qui
city agitating the withdrawal of Garfield in
the face of the enemy have been plainly told
that such move would only be adding sec
ond bunder to the first. Garfield will stick
and sink-N J. Sun.

too plump for her short stature. She wears

rather large; her jaw and mouth are firm, with
pretty teeth and a cordial, charming smile, of.

A Eainl Nomination.

of the worst the republicans could have III de

Ing lie Ma.ngaa business and various other
scandals, is not to be nentiouet in the same

that he had committed perjury; and he was
never declared a bribetakcr by the judgment
of any court, declaration which the Poland
committee made tor Garfield in one case, and
the Cook County Circuit Court IN another.
Garfield's nomination puts in issue the
hypocrisics and venaltles of the era Of Chris
tian craftsmanship, when men like him prayed
and stole, SMILED and pocketed brides, until
in 1874, the people rose in utter wrath and
swept the republican party into minority.
That judgment will doubtless be repeated.
The Chicago Convention invited repetition
Of the judgment when 1t hoisted the Credit

county, New York, a. Z. Bishop, OF

THE UNRULY UTES.
The Determination Seems to
be TO Force Them into
q War.

! New York, l. iSitn's Washington:
A determined effort is being made to
cause the administration to declare war
against the Utes IA sdvsnce of definite
| information Of the results of the labOrs Of
the peace commission Army officers
from the beginning have ridiculed the
efforts which have been made to obtain
the Deaceable surrender OF the Indians
engaged in the Meeker massacre. Sher-
man believes that the only way to deal
with the trouble: ONE Indians is TO kill
them, regardless of whether their treaty
rights have been trampelled upon or not.
The people of Colorado are anxious to
occupy the valuable mineral lands owned
by the Utes, and the press dispatches
sent from Denver concerning the Ute
troubles are designed to create public
SCI timent against the Indians The proofs
of this is the fact that Official dispatches
received at the interior department from
agents of government and members ofthe
Ute commission contain nothing calcu-
lated to excite apprehension for the safety
of Hatch, and party of whites now sup
posed to Be en- route for Lake City. No
information has been received here TO
have been futile. The delays which have
disns to the commission can be appre-
ciated from the statement made by Con-
gresham Bedford of Colorado, to-day. in
to the journey of Hatch and
party Bedford said it is 100 miles by
wagon road and forty miles by trail TO
Lake city. I he snow is twenty feet on |
the mountains and, for Hatch to reach |
Lake city, he must cross one of the |
mountain ranges. If he goes by |
the wagon road be can only travel |
On buck boards. From this statement /
: ONE idea OF the difficulty under which |
the Indians labor in bringing into camp
Oh foot tina murderers of Meeker and the /
agency attaches, can be formed. Belford
is doing all in his power to cause the re-
noval of the entire tribe Of Utes from
Colorado. He desires that the sins of
few members of the White River tribe be
visited upon all of the Utes in the state,
The refusal of Congress, before adjourn
nent for the holidays, to pass a resolution
which involved a rupture of the treaty
tipulations with the Utes, is considered
Indicative of desire on the part of the
majority to deal fairly with the tribe.
The injustice of taking definite steps to
,usL the Utes from any portion of their
country in advance of fair hearing of
heir side Of the question, is apparent.
Jarl Schurz is in favor of removing the
White River band from Colorado, and it
5 more than likely that if the tribe re-
uses peacefully to abandon their old
ZONES they will be compelled to depart
y force.
