Even in Republican Maine, which rarely gives less than 10,000 majority md sometimes as high as 25,000, the Radicals are getting alarmed lest the Democracy will make substantial gains. I This would Ire a very bad showing for the Republicans, especially with a Presidential election doso at hand, and that party is already making all sorts of excuses in advance of the election there, which is a good sign that it fears the result next month. There is no mistaking these results. They are the spontaneous outbursts of a people long oppressed by a system of corruption, inefficiency ami lawlessness that threatens to uproot the very founda tions of our government. Forbear i ance has ceased to be a virtue, and they must act to free themselves from the most odious administration of Gen. Grant, which will be perpetuated in case of the election of Gen. Hayes. The nominations of Tilden and Hen dricks, both known to be honest, ca pable and worthy men, has inspired them with a new hope, and they pro pose taking advantage of the situation and striking boldly for reform. This fact is made apparent in the transpir ing elections and we must not be sur- pi ¡.Mid thereat. I I I llayea a Nalary Urnbber. The Republican candidate for Presi dent, Gov. Hayes, of Ohio, is shown by the Cincinnati Enquirer to be a back pay salary grabber while in Con gress. The charge is, not that Hayes was in Congress w’hen the last back pay bill was passed, but that he is a meaner salary grablier than the latest. He put into his pocket-book back pay to the amount of $2,000, under pecu liarly offensive and disreputable cir cumstances. The grab in that case was attached to the soldiers’ bounty feature of the appropriation bill. The retroactive feature was the same with that of the last grab act. On the 24th of July, 1866, the grab was fastened upon the House appropriation bill in the Senate.. On the 27th of July the House refused to concur in the amend ment. The question went to tho Con ference Committee. On the same day, the 27th, the Conference Committee reported in favor of the salary grab amendment, dropping the soldiers’ bounty entirely. The Binghampton Leader, in an ar I I juggernaut of party, not having the courage of their conviction, they seek a cowardly alternative in tho attempt I to defame a man whom they once ad mired, encouraged and endorsed.
