the crank and dead beat TO come forward and
help him. Hays letter was such soandalous dis
closure OF the conspiraiors tnctics with The un-
happy Garfield that Reid fled to Albany as soon as
he saw its effect and hid himself for several days
from the public gaze. Now Tom Nlchol, the crank

MISERABLE SNEAK.
We like brave, manly fellow who hasthe cour-
age TO admit his errors, but miserable paltring,
cantng sneak, like the editor Of the Cincinnati
there is spirit of artAgonian to my friendii
ness" toward General Arthur and his adminstra-
tion. Readers of Mr.. Mnrat Halstcads paper will
understand that the sort of friendlincss shown
to President Arthur is much OF the same sort MS
the wolf shows to the lamb. His paper is filled
win sneers, jeers and mean insinu0tions about
thc members of his Cabinet His opposition Is not
open and courageous, but II is snCnking. MHrat
llnlstend is one Of the sort Of men that his con-
science never stands in his light when the devil
holds candle for him. Ito is an arrant sneak, MS
his vile attacks on the late and lnmented Garfield
SHOW. lie has not the maniness to admit that he
resorts to rckery TO slip his neck ont Of the pilory
In doing which lac leaves his ears behind him.
A SHAMELESS ADMISSION.
From the exhibition Mr. Murnt IInlstead, of the
Cincinnati Coinmercia, has made Of himself, IN
his reply to the New York Commercial his friends
will really begin to think he is afflicted with sUit.

blow the bellows for the great organ of the West
boasting that 81 was against LmcOln's nomina-
ton ns well as against that of Garileld's twenty
ycnrs later" Joe Mcdill, Of the Chicago Tribune,
or Deacon Smith, Of the Cincinnati Gd-Cte, who
aic eminent trupczists, would hardly make them
selves SO slrikingy ridiculous. Mr.. Marat Hal
stead ought to tell us who his candidate was In
1872, when lie, Carl Schurz, Whitelaw Reid, aud
the whole brood of Half. Breeds united to turn
over the Government to the Democracy. OF course,
nobody expected he would be for Lincoln or Gar.
Held but few people expected that he would be
so shameless as to bOnst of H. And this man Marnt
lalsiead is y specimen brickof the howlcrs who
were taken into tho confidence of the late la

poor man was led astray?
now THEY "EEFOra" IN PRIVATE.
The World continues TO bclabor the Hon. Re.
former Schnrz IN an unmerciful manner, and in
Inmates IN the brOudest Kind of way that he "gOt
away" with no inConsidcrHble amount of "Swag .
while nCting as reform Secretary of the Interior.
Against these assaults the eminent rcfoimcr makes
no defense, and apparently is MS helpless as White
law Reid when requests are made TO him Tor the
documents he boosted he possessed, hut which lie
could not produce when asked for The rClunners

suffering dodge before the public, aud stretch out

SHAMELESS IT Is.
II seems 10 be agreed that Marat lIalStcad's Mt.

That can mean but one thing and coming from
