Wis, General Sherman has Catholic wife, and no
body knows what his politics is. Mr.. Hewitt is
too cranky, Mr., Cleveland too young and Mr..
Flower too fresh. Mr.. Pendleton is too much of
reformer. Mr.. Field is too close to the
corporations and Mr.. Thurman not close enough.
The ideal candidate will not be found by either
party. General Washington was great and
good man, but he was not immaculate. Thomas
jefferson abounded in faults. The martyred
Lincoln had his weak spots and the sainted Gar
field was only an average specimen of frail hu-

CONVERTED TO ADvENTIsM.
That's the Report Respecting Ex-President
r.. b. Hayes.

Washington Special to Courier-Journal.
1t is reported that the Seventh day Adventsts,
a religious sect having their headquarters at
Battle Creek Mich, are expecting convert
shortly in no less a person than the Hon.
Rutherford B. Hayes; that he will be followed
by number of other people of note, and that
soon after the end of the present state of things
will come to pass. If the report is true, Method
ism must have lost its power to soothe M
Hayes. Something at least must be weighing on
his mind.
The Seventh-day Adventists observe Saturday
for their Sabbath, and believe in the second
coming of Christ. Recently, as the report goes,
Mr. Hayes wrote to Elder Cartrght, who is at
the head of the order, asking for books and PAM
phlets bearing on the belief Elder Cartwright
set about complying with the request and while
engaged in gathering the literature together
came across the startling bit of information that
Mr. Hayes has once been President of the United
States. The discovery set the older to thinking,

Used that sign that the end was near would be
the coming of many public men into their fold.
They at once conceived that Mr.. Hayes was the
advance guard, and they posted to him right
away every work they thought would be of in
terest to him. The Adventists have been in a
high state of excitement ever since. The effect
of the literature on Mr. Hays has not yet been
ascertained.

The Supply of Saints.


The objections to the prominent presidential
candidates which find voice in the press present
a curious and interesting variety. Mr.. Blaine
for instance, has too much record, while Mr.
Lincoln has too little. Mr.. Arthur is opposed
because he comes from large State which has
factions, and Mr.. Edmunds because he comes
from little one which doesn't amount to much
John Sherman, it is urged is too cold, while
Gen Logan, on the contrary, is too warm-red
hot, so to speak. Mr.. Tilden is too feeble, and
Mr.. Payne is too old. Mr. Mcdonald is too

much of protectienist Mr.. Bayard's war
record is not what it should be, and Gen
Hancock's tariff record suits nobody. Mr.

Two Years of Democratic Rule.

Lafayette Journal.
+ Two years of Democratic administration in this
city has suficed to depiete full treasury and re-
duce it to q condition bordering very closely upon
bankruptcy. 1t has taken but two years to do this
and that, too, despite largely increased taxation
levied by the Democratic council. There is in
this fact something that should give the tax pay
ing citizens not a little concern. Into what a
financial middle have these Democratic incom-
petents, who control affairs, plunged the city.
Think of it. taxpayer. You have paid more taxes
for general purposes, by 40 cents on the 800
valuation, during the past two years, than you
did during any two years of Republican rule in

About seven eighths of the whole number tried

yet there is scarcely an article in the tariff sched
