tertain the veterans oi the army of the
Tennessee, who. will visit our city on
18th inst., to pay a tribute of respect
to the memory of their old command,
er, General McPherson, whose statue
will be unveiled on that day. It in
rather unfortunate that the 10th is set
for the District day at the Centennial,
and as arrangements have been made
which will occupy at least three days
in doing justioe to Washington hos

GOV. HATES AND THS ALLIANCE.
The fao simile of the letter of Gov
ernor Hayes' private Secretary writ
ten at the Governor's request and ac
cepting his nomination as an honora
ry member of the order of Amerioan
Alliance is creating much stir and ex
citement among naturalized citizens
here, and is doubtless deeply felt by
them in every Slate oi the Union.
How Governor Hayes can reooncile
himself tot so loudly demand the right
of suffrage and eligibility to office for
the millions of ignorant negroes who
were freed by the President's procla
mation, and attempt to curtail the
right ot suffrage and deny the fitness
lor office to the intelligent naturalized
citizen is diffioultto imagine ; but that
he does bo is beyond contradiction.
A reporter for tha Chicago Times oall-
ed on Judge Stallo, a prominent citi
zen ot Cincinnati and a man of power
ful influenoe with the German citizens,
and asked what he knew about the
charse made against Governor Hayes
of his being in open and avowed sym
pathy with the order of "Araoncan
Alliance." Judge Stallo said: "It
was not exactly new to me when I
used it, but being anxious to learn the
truth I wailed until some response
should come from Columbus. Final
lv we cot it in the shape ot a general
denial from Mr. Lee, the Governor's
private Secretary, and it struck me as
singular that Governor 'Hayes, being
a lawyer, should think of coming be
fore the publio with such an unsatis
factory rejoinder to a very important
charge. Several days later, meeting
Col. Markbreit, the Governor's par
ticular friend, I oalled his attention to
that damaging irregularity. I told
him that if the Governor wished me
to disbelieve the charge he must come
come forward over his own signature
and deny the accusation. I would
then be forced to believe him. ThiB
was some days ago. I have means of
knowing that Col. Markbreit went to
Columbus at once, but so far the Gov
ernor has not made the denial we de
mand." The reporter asked then:
"You mean that you believe that Gov
ernor Hayes personally indorses the
principles ot the American Alliance
till he comes forward and personally
denies it ?" The Judge said, "I most
certainly do. I can do nothing else."

The bill granlina; State aid to the
Yaquina railroad passed both branch
es of the Legislature, but was vetoed
by the Governor upon constitutional
grounds. The following is the veto
message, whioh explains itself :

gage and take possession of tho prop
erty. iNotaxis levied or omor pro
vision made for raising the money re
quired to meet the payments required
under this bill.
Artiole XI.? section 7, of the Con
stitution provides as follows : "The
legislative assembly shall not loan the
credit ot the State, nor in any manner
create any liabilities which shall sin
gly or in the aggregate with previous
debts or liabilities excoed the Bum ot
$50,000, except in case of war, or to
repel an invasion, or suppress insur
rection; and every contract of indebt
edness entered into or assumed by or
on behalt of the State when all its lia
bilities and debts amount to said sum
shall be void find of no effeot."
It appears to me that the effect of
this bill is to loan the credit of the
State to this railroad, by the issue ol
bonds in its favor in such a direct
mode as to te forbidden by the first
olause of the scotion of the Constitu
tion quoted.
Again, the State is now in debt
more than $50,000. This bill is there
fore in conflict with the last olause ot
the seotion quoted ; in wbioh it is de
clared that "every contract of indebt
edness entered into or assumed by or
ou behalf of the State, whon all its
liabilities Bhall amount to said sum,
shall be void and of no effect." I
therefore return the bill to your hon
orable body for further consideration.

As He Is Described by one of HI Ohio

Who i's this creat man who is to
Foorrn his own nartv bv shaking off
the rogues who hanJicap it, the very
men who bring him forward and laud
his excellence 'i ,
Well, my frionds, there is not much
known, and the little is not encourag-
inc. We. of Ohio, know him to be
an amiable, inoffensive gentleman, bo
longing to a class from which we se
loci executors, cuardiaos, and some'
times county commissioners. Ho
never obtained an office that was not
thrust noon him ; he never held an ot
fico that he got beyond its merest rou
tine. He came out of the late war
with a record that one has to searoh
for to find a good soldier enough,
but not the plumed Henry of Navarre
that his friends now claim. He came
from Congress without the utterance
of a sentence, the introduction ot a
single measure, while his votes are the
votes of a trained partisan helping the
party on in all Us erronious legisia
tion, extravagance and fraud. Ha is
a good man, of course be is, for he
lacks enough force of character to bo
bad. He is one of those masculine
negatives, created by a wiso Provl
dence to fill churches and lead pious
women and children lrom the pinful
ways of earth to the happiness ol
heaven. We thank God lor tbe mas
culine negatives, but we do not select
throttle corruption in its
atrnno- nlanes. vea. very, in our own
household.

He will make a model ot en inaugura

more attention to his advice than it
has to the same sort of political exhor
tations from President Grant Like
the man who nailed the Lord's pray
er to the head ot his bed, and rapping
with his knackles every night, cne
out, -"Them's my sentiments, Lord,"
these gentlemen will continue in their
iniquity all the same.
This cry of reform is as hollow and
false as tbe pretended claim to re
sumption. Had there been any boo
est intent on the part ot these leaders
there ws a man before the Cincinnati
Convention who. it nominated, wool J
have controlled the sympathy and
commanded the support of the peo
ple. I refer to the late SecretarV ol
tbe Treasury. Mr. Bristow. A coarse,
I able and a brave man, he saw bis op
portunity and took up reform is a law
yer takes a case, or a surgeon a can
cer. He tracked corruption, as many
others did, to the door-sill ot the
White House, but, unlike othors, he
boldly entered, and, while indicting
the President s confidential friends
and boon companions, was the first to
make the soldier President tremble.
But the convention ot reformers
would not touch the reformer. They
preferred the mild Hayes, and, pos
sessing him, tboy are happy.
How It Was Done.
The result of the Colorado election
insures, we presume, a seat in the
United Slates Senate for Jerome B.
Chaffee. He has certainly paid for it.
Tho means by wbioh tho elootion was
carried are indicated by the following
extract from a recont Denver edition
of the Kansas City Times :
For the information of the honost
white voters in Northern Colorado.

Mexioan tool ol Jerome B. Chaffuo,

enough money in his pookot, soot to

there are not that many votes in t-e

about beiug mado to violate tho eloo

We commend to tho attention ot

another column concerning the ob
ject nud organization of the American

will admit that they furnish an admir
able illustration of what Mr. Stallo
says concerning the danger of the un
ion ot uarrow minaoa religious asso
ciations with our politics, and tho sus
ceptibility of Governor Hayes to such
iutluences.
As Coukling, Morton and Cameron
well knew what they did when they
united their followers for the nomina
tion of Hayes at the Cincinnati Con
vention, so, too, these christian states
man (?) of the school of the American
Alliance are well aware what they
are about whon they recommend Mr.
Hayes to tho warmest support of their
brothors in lailh. And as those friends
of reform, who give thoir assistance to
the eleo'.ion of the lavorite of the prin
cipal representatives of Grant and cor
ruption, are preparing a bitter awaken
in", so, too, liberal minded oitizens
would awake to the tact that the lir
eral development of tbe United Slates
would receive the severest inocit
through the election ot Mr. Raves.
or adouted citizens ot tho United
Stales the American Alliance and tbe
relation of Gov. Hayes to it are in so
far of special significance as this secret
order represents the most, narrow-
minded nativistio views not only in
rel'mious but in political matters. The
fact that tbe Amerioan AUiauce was
onlv a rewarminu in somewhat alter
ed shape of tbe old Know-Nothing
evil has long been known ; but that
Gov. Raves was endorsod by the or
ganization as a true representative of
its principles, ana tnai no nau gram
fully accepted its support, was first
brought to light by the World. Tho
World sought to make good its asser
tion by tbe publication oi a letter ai
leged to have been written by Gov,
Hayes to Mr. L. S. Tyler, the Storota

Hayes caused the auinorsuip oi mis
