The Cincinnati Commercial says:-
MRS. Hayes puts the question OF the
Ohio campaign this fall into the shortest
sentence yet employed. She says the
question is: Shall l indorse Garfield
or GuiteauP" To which the St. Louis
Globe. Democrat replies:-'Well, we
dislike to say anything dlscourteous OF
or to a lady, but if Mrs. Hayes said any
thing like that she certainly courted the
remark that she made q, great fool of
herself. She thought b was ute ring
a truism when she was uttering some
thing worse than a gross %vulgarity. The
inference from her remark is that all
who vote the democratic ticket indorse
the crime of Guiteau. This is not smart
it is simply Infamous. 1t is to assert
that about 4S per cent. OF the people OF
Ohio approve of the attempt to assas-
sinate the president. Ii Mrs. Hayes can
not use her tongue to better advantage
than Ia framing such short sentences
as the above, she should endeavor to
hold her peace. The Commercial is not
her friend in publishing her folly" So.

Editor BrO0khdven Ledger:
I ask the Clarion one question
The Clarion is very tenacious Of the
supposed right OF the Legislature to
instruct its United States Senators.
and claims for is position the pre-
cedent Of tho old Wing and Demo
cratic parties, Tho right Of instruc-
ton Was always denied By The
old Wing party as party principle,
and although there may be excep-
tional cases as mentioned by the
Clarion of Hugh L. White, and
others, they are only exceptions TO
the rule.
The question I wish TO ask the
editor of the Clarion: Did he ever
know a Democratic Senator to obey
the Instructions of a Wing or Repub
liean Legislature, And does be elaim
that a Democratic Senator is bound
to obey the instructions Of Repub-
lican LegislatureY And he must ad-
init, il the Legislature has The power
10 instruct at all, it has it in ali cases.
and that il is not circumscribod bv a
change of public sentiment IN The
Legislature after the Senator Is elect.
ed. To illustrate: Suppose that the
Legislature of Virginia that elected
Malone, the Re-Adjuster, was 10 in
struet Senator johnson TO vote with
Malone or the Republican party IN
al cases, does he claim that johnson
would be bound to obey or resign, for
it logically follows that If The Leeis-
lsture has the right to instinct IN one
case, it has the right to instruct in
every vote that the Senator is called
upon to give. Aud suppose agsln
that the present Legislature OF New
York Goes elect two Republican Sen.

all oases--for u the Legislature has
the right to instruct &C an, 10 has IN /
all eases--for If they can instruct by |
special act, they eau do e just as well I
by general act instruoting them IN I
