Clnclnu&ti Enquirer. la the Ewjuirer 'for sale? T'is New York Sun wants the Southern Methodist churca to denounce "the lying, "perjury and forgery" by virtue of which '.R. li. Hayes mounted into office. The hylockc are still subscribing to the four per cent, bonds, kut not a dollar -will they invest in any industrial enterprise nrhereby laboring men may hare wo si: and -wages. ' Co?;res will start in on Hayes' title today. When the facts are all made public Hayes will 'be the most detestable man in America, for it will be shown that bs was cognizant of the frauds. This News, which has the courace of ti toad and the voice of a three-year-old calf, -is evidently anxious to shoot down and imprison workingnien as communists. The vrlnd in ahe little thing's bowels is giving it -trouble again. mmmmmmm The Cincinnati Gazette is evidently disgusted at the way Grant's appointees hold on to office, and is anxious to see -official heads drop into the basket a little more rapidly. The indications are that all of the conspirators who aided the presidential fraud are not yet provided for. Dok Cerox, son of one of the most notorious radical rascals that ever disgraced Pennsylvania, has married a niece of John Sherman, one oi the conspirators who helped Hayes into office, and whose infamous financial policy has contributed its full share in bankrupting the country. If rascality of the worst type and statesmanship of the Shylock stripe were never before united by marriage vows, then the United rotates of America may stand forth and claim all the honors of such a filthy lucre alliance. Probably no names in America could be more properly regarded as synonyms of ras cality than Sherman and Cameron. It is, therefore, eminently proper that they should be united by marriage, and in the holy bonds riot and rot together. The event takes place while a fraud occupies the office of president, which adds somewhat to the appropriateness of the very dirty piece of business, ;eor;e Shasklin, poor fellow, is evidently sick. He has ringworm, or some other scrofulous affection, that makes him irritable as a dog with a sore head. But George is big; inherited something, possibly; fortunate for him if he did, but when be becomes irascible, fretful, testy, touchy, peevish, pettish, waspish, snappish, choleric, splenetic, captious, petulant, excited, hot, peppery, passionate and fiery he most always makes a fool of himself. Seriously, we are afraid George will kick the bucket one of these fine days, and die with a whole stats house in his abdomen, dome, basement, wings and all. It is big enough. If George should die we hope his great trunk will be preserved. Evansville should appropriate money to fence it in. The big trees of California are not a greater curiosity than would be the big trunk of George. And then it would be so nice for the boys to take an excursion to Evansville and ride into the great hollow, Bit on a petrified kidney and smoke a cigar, roam around and have a dance and a picnic. Reallyrif George does not cultivate a more amiable mood, try to look on the bright side of things, and cease being a blackguard, he will die like a dungeon toad. If journalism continues to play the devil with his temper, he should abandon the business and travel with General Mite. In that way he would amuse the people, and it would no longer be necessary for his brother to mildly apologize for his utterances. THE DEMOCRACY OK IXOIAXA ASI THE WAST8 OF THE PEOPLE. We have demonstrated time and again in these columns that the democratic party is employing all of its powers to promote the welfare of the country. Since it has had control of the lower house of congress its recorti is clear, its utterances emphatic and Its purposes convincing. On the 20th of February last the democratic party of Indiana met in convention. The attendance was large and the councils harmonious. - The platform adopted by th convention was designed to meet the emergencies of the times, to arouse the people o' the state to the necessity of a policy calculated to relieve the country of businen depression, and 'contribute as largely as possible to the revival of Indus tries that labor might find employment and am era of prosperity ba introduced. It is worthy of remark that the platform put forth has not been and can not be successfully assailed. The radical organs have regarded it prudent to iet it severely alone, for the more it is analyzed the more invulnera ble it appears. The positions taaen upon All prominent questions of importance are absolutely right. Every word and line meets the demands of tb most exacting advocate ot reform, and the document as a whole carries conviction to- the minds of all who ill give it careful and patient study. So fully indeed does it meet the wants of the people, that the nationals have found it Important to adopt its spirit througUout, though some of the organs of this party lack the candor to admit their indebtedness to its patriotic wisdom. The democracy of Indianapolis demands the retirement of national bank notes and the tout id 'Ilea' thereof Of -governmenf

treasury notes with full legal tender quality. Here is the demand for a better and cheaper currency, which is i n full accord with the sentiment ot the people of Indiana. The platform declares in favor of m iking United States notes, greenbacks, a full legal tender, public and private, and for tbis tne party is laboring. What more could be demanded by those who have the ineli-being of the state at heart? The platform places the 'democratic party on record as favoring an amoirat of currency, gold, silver and paper, as the ''sound business interests

'of the country may Tequire." This is not wild and inconsiderate inflation, bet exhibits a fTudent regard for the business welfare of tbo state and country, and is therefore states manlike and financially sound. The democratic party of Indiana is committed to the tdvocacy of SHch congressional legislation as will authorize the taxation of United States notes as a meane -of bearing a part of the burdens of state governments, and of a policy that shall seccre the distribution of the national debt at home instead of abroad, so that the interest thereon shall go to enrich our own instead of foreign countries. In addition to such measures of relief from the crushing curse of radical legislation, the democratic party of Indiana demands the unconditional repeal of the resumption law, and it is worthy of remark that the fact that greenbacks are nearly at par with gold in nowise modifies the emphisis of tke demand, for it is found that greenbacks at par does not revive business, give work and wages to the idle, nor dispel the business gloom that had, for years, enshrouded the land. At this particular juncture, when there is so much talk about the national party, the careful study of the democratic platform can not fail to exert a salutary influence, and we invite its careful perusal. If there are democrats who contemplate joining the nationals, we feel confident that a careful readingof the document will persuade them that nothing is to be gained by such abandonment, and if there ere nationals who contemplate coming to the democratic camp, and we believe there are hundreds who will do so, then the study of this democratic platform will strengthen their convictions and make them more earnest workers for democratic success. THE LABORING HEX. The fact ought not to be obscured indeed it can not be that in this country the people are supreme. They make and unmake law-makers; they lay the foundations of governments; they erect the superstructures; they are the uncrowned sovereigns. born to rale. This, thank God, is a government for the people of the people and by the people, and if not administered in the interests of the people it Is a cheat and a lie, and odious beyond exaggeration. For a number of years the government has been wrongfully and criminally administered. The people see and realize the fact. They are -convinced that the. radical party has strictly and studiously legislated against their interests. They have seen their fortunes disappear like mist before a noonday sun, homes w rested from their grasp, their business destroyed as If struck by a thousand thunderbolts, and this too while they were struggling with almost superhuman efforts to succeed. This business depression, confined to no locality, has been felt from the pine forests of Maine to the golden shores of California. Its sweep has been continental and its effect everywhere the same bankruptcy, poverty, idle ness, hunger, despair. Such have been the bitter fruits of .radical rule. The party, dead to every sentiment of patriotism, and alive only to schemes of self aggrandizement, has legislated to improve the condition of the money lords by making it possible for them to sieze and appropriate the earnings of others legalized piracy, such as was never witnessed in the world since Jesus whipped the money changers out of their temple. As if to make the case still more haggard during all there years of business prostration and ruhi idleness and hunger. The seasons have be -u fabulously fruitful, we have had bread t A to spare. Field and farm have responded to the plow, and the cattle on a thousand hills have attested the ability of the country to keep the people from hunger. But radical curses have been more than a match for Jehovah's blessings, and the radical devil has been permitted to touch the country in all of its enterprises and interests with his firey fingers and create widspread ruin. At this supreme moment the suffering people are earnestly discussing reforms and remedies. They are loath to starve in full sight of bread, or die of thirst while listening to the music of gurgling waters. And now then, what? Why, simply this: Their restlessness is regarded as dangerous, their lamentation the utterance of criminal purposes,' their resolutions treason, and their wretched condition an evidence of their degredation. Still these sufferers are the people citizens in all regards the peers of any other citizens in the right to assemble, discuss their interests, take counsel together and provide as best they may for further misfortunes and privations, whicb, under the curse of radicalism are certain to come. As a means of silencing the protests of these people we hear the cry of communism, a Shylock stratagem to obscure the damning curses of radicalism, and at this late day, if possible, compel laboring men to bear the odium of the acta of their oppressors. We doubt not that there are communists in the United States, just as there are radical infidels like Sob Ingersoll, radical thieves like Bugbee, radical conspirators like John Sherman, radical perjurers like J. Madison Wells, and radical frauds like XL B. Hayes, but to charge the deep seated unrest now prevailing amomg laboring men in thiseountry to communism is a self-evident lie, and the men who utter itknow ittobeso. The underlying purpose of laboring men in this country to day is to find acme pathway out of the darkness that now environs them, to obtain work and wages, food and clothing, shelter and home. Parents are endeavoring to respond to the pleadings of children, and to their own aspirations after that which will enable them to occupy their rightful positions in society. The demoocratic party is the party of the people. It recognizes the dignity of labor.,". It does not believe poverty me, nor wealth a virtue.

It legislates for no class. Equal rights Is its motto, and as a consequence laboring men are attracted to it, as are all men who believe in equal justice to all and an honest administration of the government. Th:.y will net come in vain.- The democratic party is alive to the wants and woes of the laboring men of the country. .It is mindful of their value to the body social andthe body politic It recognizes the fact that .laboring men skilled mechanics, carry forward all the great enterprises of the age, and are too valuable to be stoned to death by tbe radical party controlled by Sbylocks. Tbe democratic party has accomplished all within its power. It has to some extent at least arrested radical stealing. It has compelled quite a cumber of distinguished radical thieves to etep down and disappear from public life. It has cut down the expenses of the government and advocated measures of relief. These things the people approve and are determined to see carried out.

STANDARD FAMILIES. la a country like ours where every citizen s the builder of bis own personal fortunes, and where there are no civil inheritances bequeathed by law to any particular families, it is a matter of no small interest to review the struggle, tbe ups and downs of the many who have aimed in life to do sometbiag more than merely to make their own living. The names of many of the families of the land belong to history. They form a part of the nomenclature of our country's distinctions. They have made the country more than the country . has made them. They have been men of soul, of public spirit, of bold and practical enterprise, . who have moved out of tbe common rut of personal and selfish emolument, and have given, from time to time, their best efforts to build up the institutions whicb have brought us to our present civilization. They have not lived for themselves alone. They have drank more or less at the wells of public sympathy, and they have given countenance and patronage to the wheels of public progress. Their acts have given them conspicuity, and hence they became known as first class citizens because the public mind reads in their lives the lessons of patriotism and humanity. There is no doubt of the fact that personal selfishness always carries with it its own punishment It dwarfs the intellect, crimps the soul, narrows the range of thought and belittles the entire man. No apology can excuse its ideality, and no argument can give sustenance to its public spirit. It is essentially beyond tbe pale of the common sympathies ot the people, and - on this account the men and the families that have lived chiefly, if not alone for themselves, have failed to get in the book of history. If we even look over our own state we will find that the position we here assume is fully vindicated. From tbe incipient history of the state down to the present, we see that many of the families of our commonwealth have had much to do in making the state what it is. They have taken an abiding and successful interest in tbe physical, intellectual and moral developments and welfare of the people, and to their efforts are we indebted to-day for much of the good name and high standing of our state among the commonwealths of the republic. To some considerable extent, it may be said, that self sustenance was a prominent idea with all these men in giving up so much of tbeir lives and so largely for the public good. True, they had to live, and if they made a living for themselves while they were thus working to build up the institutions of our state, honor and prosperity, so much the better for their personal renown as well as their family name. Many of our good men never think of the future. They act only on the living present, and in view of their present surroundings, when tbe wants of the future are every where peeping out of their Innocent nestling places and asking for help, as with a living voice. The cry of the future is only heard by the thoughtful, and among these we always find our best men and our highest and purest families. It is often the case that the men who have labored for the good of the public are seemingly forgotten, but time and the pen of the honest historian will -bring them to the surface again. Long after they have been laid in the narrow house the finger of equity and justice will point to them as to the benefactors of their race. Christopher Columbus was but an ordinary sea captain, but the noble purposes of the man enabled him to discover a continent, and he will now live in history as one of the patron saints of the ages. We have had in Indiana many men aud many families that the state should always honor. They have served as valuable stones in tbe erection of our state edifice, and their names and memories should not now be forgot ton. It matters not what divisions political conflicts may have made among us, or what personal faults they may have had, they have made a record which has reflected greatly to the credit of the state, and the voice ' of truth and history now places them on the roll of honor as the first men of their day and age. They were of tbe old standard families, who worked for the good of the state, and they have made their marks all along the line of our state history. We could name them by the scores and by tbe hundreds. But few of tbe old stock are any longer among us. They sleep with their fathers. Their earthly pilgrimage is finished, and we can not but ask now after their posterity. Are their children and children's children still "standing in the ways aud asking for 'the old paths?" Are they guarding well the state and the prestige of their fathers, and keeping bright the honors and public spirit of the ancient household? The great fame won by many of these old citizens in political, religious and agricultural life has made for them a monument which time will not soon destroy, and we trust that the posterity theyhaye left behind them will ever be careful to guard well the gatea of their lamily citadel. Unduly Prejudiced Against John Ilauna Loalsvllle Courier-Journal.) A pompous manner and a heavy, voice, with a few other equally tremendous accomplishments, have a great effect on the vulgar, and when added to the title of attorney at law they may sway a village, a city or even a nation.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Colonel Hilton S. Robinson is at home. Does be want a third term? The. siz.9 of the Cincinnati republican whisky ring seema to enlarge rapidly. The religious New York Independent: John Morriseey baa gone to meet Pharo. Delegate Cannon, of Utah territory, is an Englishman, fifty-one years old, and was an editor. "fThe Rev. George Havens, of Centerville, is taking an active Interest in tLe greenback party of Wayne county. The Franklin county democratic convention instructed for tbe Hon. Wm. S. Hoi man as tbeir next congressman. The Hon. D. Moss, of Noblesrille, was in the city yesterday. He is a prominent candidate in bis district for congress. . Mrs. Hayes has been seen to smile since the Washington temperance society with drew its responsibility for her conduct. Chicago Times: Tbe Iowa democrat will get together some time this month, and solemnly arrange for the usual fall burialL A republican paper in Kentucky suggests Br is tow as the republican candidate for governor. This great reformer will not be likely to take kindly to the suggestion to lead a forlorn hope like that. New Albany Ledger Standard: Greenback republicans vote the republican ticket, and msny fool greenback democrats help them elect radicals by voting the greenback ticket. Learn more sense, democrats. ' The citizens of Vicksburg, Miss., are charged with having adopted the following resolution: "That we, the citizens of Vicksburg, at the polls assembled, unanimously agree that Tilde n is a failure and Hayes a fraud." Cincinnati Enquirer: Now thatthefamily alliance of Cameron, Sherman, Blaine and Kwing has been fully consummated. President Hayes (de facto) must feel more lonely than ever. And he always was a sort of a solitary man. The republican Buffalo Express says: ,fWe advise the Ohio republicans to let the administration severely alone: bub, at thesams time, to try to avoid any bitter altercation in the convention, or, at any rate, not to be dismayed by the prospect of serious defections in case the administration should not be indorsed. The republican party is bigger than any president" The Cleveland Plain Dealer speaks thus unkindly of the patriot who has been so recently engaged in this state in lecturing in aid of the Morton monumental fund: "The dirtiest blackguard that ever made a political speech in Ohio is one George A Sheridatr, of Louisiana, yet Hayes has recently appointed him to the position of recorder of deeds for the district of Columbia, removing Simon Wolf, a Hebrew, who has long filled the place acceptably. Sheridan is one of the meanest and most unscrupulous of the Louisiana crowd, which is a bad one." Detroit Telegraph: Senator Stanley Matthews has written and had published a letter,in which he declines to be a candidate for congress from the second Ohio district, and says that he would not accept the nomination if it were tendered to him; but be shall not give any reasons for declining. This declination is verv like the recent declaration ot Benjamin 1 1. Bristow, tbat he has retired from politics into private life; or like a statement from president Hayes, that be has no thought of a second term. The obviousness of the situation renders it unnecessary so to speak. It reminds us of the touching appeal of the ancient Virginia maiden to General Heintzelman to please spare her honor when thu general was i merely asking her servant for a drink of buttermilk.

We feel sorry for that hog; it is an orphan, has no mother to spank it, no father to cowhide it for Indulging in human practices; he has no spittoon for somebody to clean, no pocket wherein to carry his finecut, no credit, no friend to borrow from, but must drag his weary way through life hunting stubs. Another Quickened Conscience. ' Washington correspondence N. Y. Herald. A curious storv floats about the streota

here - this evening to the effect that Levisee, one of the republican electors of Louisiana, recently asked for an office in some one of the department) and, being refused, ;ost his temper and blurted out that his name bad been forged to the official return or declara tion of the vote of Louisiana, and that he would make this fact known to Mr. Tilden. Tbe rumor says that Levisee asserts that the original certificate of the Louisiana vote was found to be Licking in some- of the legal forms; that it was sent back to New Orleans to be corrected; that when the new paper was drawn up Levisee was not at hand to sign it, and that one Ktlley, an employe under Governor Kellogg, forged his signature, and, finally, that some Lousiana republicans have taren Levi sse in charge to prevent his making the matter known to Mr. Tilripn'a frionda nr ? course the story, even if it were true, would be oi not tne slightest consequence, though some lawyers here pretend to think that it might be used to raise a serious question as to the presidential title. Moreover, if Levissee has asked for an office and been refused, he is the first republican connected with the elections in Louisiana and Florida, so far as is known, to whom some sort of provision has cot been offered. ProfeNor Swing; en Hell. The material gross conceptions of hell that are rampant in men's mind at this time are unworthy of thinking minds in this century of enlightment and civilization. Time, heat, npace, matter are all human, and incident to a material universe. How natural for the same Christ who said He was the door, to use strong figurative language to express sp iriturl truth, and particularly when He could not, as we can, talk in scientific terms and make bis hearers understand Him. We must all admit tbat some men are bad and depraved, and that such a state of character comes from bad choices, and brings misery and suffering. Why may not these results now into another life, and seperate one eternally from God? This would be hell enough for any man, to be eternally out of harmony with God, and with the cocstitution "of things. All this fuss and talK about bell seems like children's pra'.tle, if one but bears in mind that man is a free and moral agent, and has a conscience that will goad him and lash him unless he is right, in the sight of God and man. Even Milton puts it into the mouth of his hero. Satan, to say: -Myself am hell ; Where'er I go am hell. ' Discharged Convicts. . When a convict is discharged at Waupun he receives from the state $5 and a suit of clothes. How ever good his purposes may be, he can not go far on this allowance. It is not easy for one with such a brand upon him to obtain work, and if bis home is far off, he can not even, reach bis friends. It would not b9 strange if, with the world against him, Le should be driven to crime again. To give aid in such cases as may seem to call for it, the Wisconsin prison association has recently been organized and incorporated. Its object is set forth in the following paragraph from its circular: "So many painful instances have come to our knowledga of men who have left the prison with a tirm resolution of honest, upright lives, and who, on account of their imprisonment, have been refused work, and even after securing employment have been discharged when the fact became known, that we feel it to t a Christian act of justice and humanity to do something for these unfortunate ones, and thus prevent their return to a life of dishonesty and crime." Cngallant. A newly married man, who evidently needs discipline, thusdiscources:. ''A woman is a handy thing to have about the house. She does not cost any more to keep than you'll give her, and she'll take a great interest in you. If you go out at night, she'll be awake when you get home, and then she'll tell you all about yourself, and more too. Of course she will know where you have been, and what kept you out so late, and will tell you; yet, right after she gets through telling you that, she will ask you where you have been, and what kept you out so late. And after you tell her she won't believe you, you musn't mind tbat; and if, after going to bed, she says she hasn't closed her eyes tbe whole night, and then keeps up the matinee two hours longer and won't go to sleep when she has a chance you musn't mind that, either; it's her nature." Cold Comfort for the Republican. I New York Times.1 Talk of the "bloody shirt" as an issue, and you are laughed at Suggest that the constitutional amendments are gocd things to fight for and you are told to wait until something endangers them. Dilate on the efficacy of extracts from southern newspIers and you are asked if you assume that voters are 'idiots. The plain truth is that the people are to a large extent alienated from the politicians whose conception of management blends the war-whoop with the turn of a crank, and who are so incapable of comprehending tbe drift of things that they propose to formulate a platform that shall omit everything about which the great mass of farriers, business men and workingmen are thinking and talking. Deliberately Circumventing; tbe People' Will. Detroit Free Press. The usurpation of Hayes was a deliberate circumvention by fraud of the people's will in a country where the right of the people to rule themselves is the foundation stone of the government How great that fraud was, and, by what unholy means it was accomplished, the country is just beginning to be fully apprised by such revelations as that made by Senator Conkling, and the still more recent confessions of the scoundrels who stole the vote of Florida. Iney Always Said So. Burllugton tiaxette.l , The republicans ot the north never did believe in these scoundrelly carpet-baggers, or countentnee them in any way whatever. They are liars, adventurers, perjurers, plunderers, t'uit ves and scalawags, and the republicans always said eo. Hayes said so when be mimed McLin as judge of the federal court in New Mexico, and wrote to John Sherman that Dennis "would make a capital special agsnt of the treasury. I specially desire that his claims may have your special consideration." A Qnlcbi'ned Conscience Don't Please Them. Barllngton Caret fe.l The rejublican organs are not pleased with the r ecent manifestations of a quickened conscience in the party. They declare that Denn a, Mckin and others are not guilty of the trar agression of which they confessed.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Tbe Platform of tbe Party Adopted at tbe State Convention A Clear and Unequivocal Enunciation of Principles Sentiments Which the Masse Will Indorse. The democracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof there shall be Issued by the government an equal amount of treasury note with full legal tender quality. That we are lu lavor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except uch obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable In coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interest of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor of such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United (States notes In common with all other money. That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for thf funding of t he national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the people would be subserved by legislating so as to distribute said debt among our people at home-atfordiDg them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment ol their savings in the funded debt ol the United States. That we are in favor of such legislation which shall nx the legal rate of interest at not exceeding nix per centum per annum. We demand the restoration or the silver dollar of tr.. grains tothe coin or the country, and with lull legal tender quality In the ayrnent ol all debts, both public and private and that the coinage thereof shall l unlimited, and upon the tame terms and conditions as may be provided lor the coinage of gola. That we are In favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of tbe retuitui.uoii act. We are in ravorof the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect I he future public order and secant v w 'believe that the wuVs of corporations eng'iiged in tne business of mlnin,, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts aud earnings of said corporations, aud that such lien should be declared, defined and euforced by appropriate legislation. That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines one that would be Just to the miner and owner. The democratic patty la the friend of the common nhool system, and will in eery legitimate way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common tcuool fund to anv sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state lor legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, and we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the state for legislative purposea, as will be their impeiative duty, shall have regard alone to population and coDtiguity of territory. Tbat the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising nnder the laws of the states, tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical deulal ol justice in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true laterestto people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such, courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed In the Judiciary act of 17K9. We are opposed to class legislation, and Jrotent against the grant of subsidies by the ederal government, either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaced effrontery carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, wnereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people's choice for president ami vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free people had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government, a rrime against the elective franchise. and a crime tbat can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud In the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting inlamy by the people whom they have outraged. And we denounce the act of the president of the United States in appointing to high aud lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts of federal otHcerslu attempting to interfere with the rights and powers, of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives In congress be and are hereby requested to secure passage of a law giving to thesoloiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1M2. Tbis and Tbat. McLin, in his confession the other day, procured by tbe agent of the anti-Hayes republicans, made this statement: 1 was shown numerous telegrams addressed to Governor Stearns aud others from the trusted leaders of Uie republican party lu the north, insisting tbat the salvation of the country depended upon the vote of Florida being cast for Hayes. These telegrams came from those to whom I had been accustomed todefer the chairman of the national committee, and the man who is the nearest personal friend of Mr. Hayes, had conducted the canvass. These telegrams have also given assurance of the forthcoming of money and troops, if neces:ary, in securing the victory for Mr. Hayes. Corroboratory of this, is the following dispatch published in all the papers of the country immediately after its date: Jacksonville, Flan Nov. IV-The telegraphic operator at Tallahassee has been discharged upon a charge of revealing this infamous telegram : Washington. D. C, Nov. 8, ls7t". "Horn W. L. Stearns Fla. Florida must bemade republican. Troops and money will be furnished. (Signed) "Z. Chandler." An Ingenuous Young 9Iaa. ICazetiovia Republican .1 A young man in Cazenovia went over tc Manlius to a dance. He was en entire stranger to the girls present, and the boys were mean and would not introduce him. He finally plucked up courage, and, stepping up to a young lady, requested the pleasure of her company for the next dance. She looked at him in surprise, and informed him she had not tbe pleasure of his acquaintance. "Well," remarked Cazenovia, "you don't take any more chances than I do." t.ood Enouarb Witness. f Harrlsburg Patriot. If McLin was good enough for supreme judge of New Mexico in the estimation of Mr. Hayes, he is good enough witness to the fact that the electoral vote of Florida wa stolen. He was appointed judge to reward his Criminal services and to secure his silence. J3ut he lost his reward by the refusal of the senate to confirm him, and he bad no further inducement to make a secret of that which the world already knew. All They Have to Offer. . Springfield Republican. And this is all the republiban leaders in tbe United States senate have to offer as a reason for the continuance of their party in power: Resolved, That we ought to have the offievs, because the democrats were against the constitutional amendments ten years ago. A noble attitude, truly, for a once proud party. II Is lloldlnK Mis Own. Richmond Independent. The Reverened De La Matyr, of Indianapolis, is having quite a fight with the Journal and News, the Shylock organs of the state, because he dared to speak out on the cause of bard times. They think it is sinful to preach on anything but contraction. tireat Popularity. Dr. Trice's Special Flavoring Extracts, Nectarine, Rose, Lemon, etc., have been before the public many years, and have gained for themselves, on their own merits, an extensive sale. Their great popularity is mainly due to the using of the purest and best materials, with special reference to their healthfulness. '
