Hon. JOHN SHERMAN, in his i'm
promptu address before the Ohio
Legislature, which recently elected him
to the United States Senate, paid Hon.
Allen G. Thurman one of Gods noble
men, the following high and deserved
compliment: II am glad to approve
the votes" said Mr.. Sherman, 'that
were given by my Democratic fellow
citizens here in the contest yesterday
and to-day If any man could be
chosen from the State of Ohio to ad-
vocate in the American Senate the
principles of the Democratic party,
there is no man in Ohio or in the
United States more deserving Of that
honor than Allen G. Thurman. For
many years he and I served together
as representatives of opposing parties.
We each, with all the vigor and power
we could, endeavored to impress our

friends were devoted, and in all that

AN additional bit of evidence has
just come to light showing the In
Intestinal meanness OF R. r. Hayes,
the acting president. There is Gus.
tom among all disbursing officers of
the United States to pay salaries at the
end of the month. All other officers
who have served the government have
conformed to this custom, but Hayes
insists upon, and has paid to him his
salary of $4.166.66 per month in
advance. This may seem hard to be-
!ieve, yet it is nevertheless true. A
Washington paper exposes hun, What
a sweet scented specimen of civil
service reformer Hayes is, to be sure!
This is the man of whom his friends
claim that Notwithstanding the cloud
on his name, caused by the peculiar
way in which he got in, yet he gave
the country a pure administration!

The national board has issued docu-
ment in favor of a Government postal
telegraph. The plea for the assumption
by the Government of business into
which private capital is crowding beyond
the ability to use it, and in which COM
petition is constantly asserting itself, and
never more than to-day. is at
variance with common sense, and the
proposition to place the telegraphic cor
respondence of 50,000,000 people under
control of officials appointed by partisan
managers and kept i'll place on account
of political service, is repugnant to the
best judgment of thinking citizens. If
the Government should take possession
of the telegraph the numbes of placemen
would be doubled and the telegraphs and
the employees would become partisan
engines.

Our Postal System.
TCleyeland Leader, Rep, |

Looking to our postal system, the Gov
ernment has been able to make it efficient
but not paying success. Last year as
shown by the report of the Postmaster
General, the expenditure of the depart
ment exceeded the receipts by $3,227, 1924,
and this sort of deficit has been con-
stantly going on during the year of the
past. There is scarcely probability
that a system of telegraphs could be
operated any more advantageously than
that of the Postal Department, inasmuch
as each Congressman would be likely to
call for an Office and operator at every
cross-road in his district.

HAYES has unseated the popinjay
Woodford as United States District
Attorney for New York, at which
some of the Republican papers raise
objection. Woodford is nothing more
than gas-bag, with more cheek than
brains, but is one OF Conklings hench-
men, therefore deserves better treat
ment than being kicked out Of Office,
and especially kicked out by a man
who holds his position through ques-
tlonable means, as does Hayes.

that the Vice. President had the right
to count the vote:
Resolved, BY this Senate (the House Of Representa-

not invested by the Constitution of the United States
with the right to count the votes of Electors for

measures to secure due and orderly performance of
said duty in the future.
