A Republican Mystery.

1t is little remarkable that of all the
Republicans who are or have been
prominent in the party ex-President
Hayes receives the most abuse and rid
icule from his party associates. The
organs never tire of expressing their
contempt for him: He is depicted in
all sorts of absurd lights. Anecdotes
are invented for the express purpose of
making him appear ridiculous. He is
accused of wearing his beard to save
the cost of soap and razors, and he is
never heard of at an agricultural fair
without being twitted with low taste
for turnips and pumpkins. 1t has even
been said of him within the past four
days by Republican journals that the
sale of Blaine's book is injured because
it contains portrait of Hayes.
This is not remarkable because HAYES
is a great man or because he is especial
" entitled to immunity from ridieule.
He is not great man, and there is a
great deal in his history that invites
satire and ridieule. But it is remark
able that he. should be singled out by
his fellow partisans for such treatment
when he is, with a single exception. the
only Republican of any prominence in
connection with the Presidency, whose
reputation for integrity has never
been assailed. Ii is true that he was
found, some years ago with 3 stolen
Presidency on his person; but his worst
enemies in the Democratic party never
regarded him IS the real thief. Leav-
ing that affair out of consideration, his
name has never been connected with
anything in the way Of jobbery or cor
ruption while in public life. Is there
another Republican ex-President or
prominent Presidential candidate, with
the single exception of Edmunds, of
whom the same can be said? Not one.
Yet there ara Republican organs who
exas and y.rsise all the other candi-
dates. including Mulligan Blaine. while
there Is not one with = good word, or
with anything but ridicule, for Hayes.
Ii fnyes we're simply dropped it
would be easy 10 understand the course
OF the organs. He was never q credit
to that party. and it has no further use
Tor him. But why should such pains be

a conspicuous member of the convention, be-
ton. replied: That depends upon how it Is
construed" The Democratic party originated
in a resistance by the more advanced patriots
OF the Revolution to the efforts which were
made to change the character of our Govern
ment by a false construction of the Constitu-
ton.
Jencrsons election in 1900 rescued our free
institutions from the perils which surrounded
them and secured sixty years OF Administra-
ton mainly in harmony with their design and
true character. When an attempt was made
TO break up the Union and to dismember the
territorial integrity of the country ths- people
were compelled to make u manly choice be-
tween these c2iamltleS ana the dangerous fn-
fiuences of civil war upon the character OF
the Government They periodically and wise
Iy resolved to save the Union first and TO re-
pair the damage which our POLITICAL system
might sustain when more imminent dangers
had been provided against. The first work
was successfully accomplished but twenty
years have since elapsed and the work of re-
storing the Government to its original char
acter is not yet accomplished Our wise an
cestors had warned US that IL we fell into civil
discords. our free system was liable to perish
in the struggle by an insensible change Of its
character. Not only have the best ira
ditions of the patriots who won Independence
and established freedom lost their authority,
but our cherished political system Is slowly
losing it's hold upon life under fungus
growths of false constructions and eorrupt
practices. The Government itself has become
