4 DJsREpUT4BLE ADMINISTRATIONS

But a month of Rutherford B. Hayes
administration as President of the United
States remains He will soon retire to
the obscuritv from which he emerged
four wears ago to assume an Office that
had been usurped for him bya gang of as
INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels as ever obtained
control of any government since the
world began. He will leave the Office
with far fewer friends than he had when
he entered upon its responsibilities, for
the conviction is almost universal that
hls administration has proved a miserable
failure. and has been characterized by
lack of craftsmanship and narrow preju-
dice unworthy Of the chief magistrate of
a great republic like ours
When he entered upon his office Mr..
Hayes essaycd the conciliatory policy. He
at once set about reconcjling the South to
the Republican party. To that end he
appointed Southern man as member
Of his cabinet. That Southerner at once
repudiated the political principles he had
espoused during his whole life, and be
came one of the most subservicnt of SER
vile partisans. He was in no sense what
ever representative of the great mass
of the Southern people. Next Mr.. Hayes
attempted to secure to the country the
benefits of free elections. This proved
to be contrary to the policy Of the party
that placed him in power, and after a
feeble resistance nc succumbed and be-
came the AFFECT tool and mouthpiece of
the stalwarts, and threw every obstacle
possible in the way of the freedom of
the people TO elect their own public ser
wants without intimidation.
Mr.. Hayes appointments to Office have
been disgraceful beyond conception. The
entire gang of perjurers and ballot-box
thieves who assisted in stealing The Pres
idencv were provided with the most
lucrative Offices in his gift. These mis-
creants have drawn millions as a reward
for their crimes committed on behalf of
Mr.. HAYES. His partiality for Ohio men
has been so notorious that it has
become a byword throughout
tho country Within the past
few months he has sought to provide for
as many of these as possible, and IN max
ing vacancies for them has pcrpetuated
great injustice to honorable public ser
wants Those who have toadied TO him
during his brief hours of power have been
comfortably provided for in the army or
on the bench for life without regard to
their fitness or personal character, and
greatly to the detriment of both the
judicial and military service.
To CRAFTY his petty revenges and pro-
vide for his flunkies seems 10 be the only
nurpose of Mr.. Hayes duringithe few days
remaining of his term of office, and the

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Col Stevens introduced Prof. Porter,
professor of agriculture of the State uni
versity. Prof. Porter spoke of different
organizations, thought they should all be
branches of State society, holding annual
meetings together, with day set apart
for each.
He had only been in the State short
time, but the regents of the university
had put him in charge of the agricultural
department., and desired him to work in
harmony with the farmers. The question
had been raised as to the terminating
power of wheat which had been left in
the stack during the winter. He had
sent out for samples and would make the
test in the university hot houses and re-
port the result. He said that he would
also supply farmers with seed wheat in
such quantities as they desired if they
would give him their orders within two
weeks.
