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

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

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.
