If elected, I shall approve of every appropriate measvre to accomplish the desired end, and shall oppose any steps backward. The resolution with respect to the public school question is one which should receive the hearty support of the American people. The agitation upon this subject is to be appjehended until by a constitutional amendment the schools are placed beyomall dan ger of sectarian control or interference. The republican party is pledged to se cure such amendment. The resolution of the convention on the subject of pa ciiicationof the country and complete protection of citizens in the free en joyment of all their rights is timely and of great importance. The condition of the southern states attracts attention and commands the sympathies of the people of the whole Union in their progressive recovery from the effects of the war. Their fu st necessity is an intelligent and hon est administration which will protect all classes of citizens in all their social and piiv.tt'e. rights. What the .South most needs is permanent peace. That depends upon the supremacy of the law. There can be no enduring peace f the const itutional rights of any por- eiit. F.. S. Ciiili.

The welfare of the south, alike with that of any other part of the country, depends upon the attrac tions it can offer to labor and immi gration and capital, but laborers will not go and capital will not be ventured where constitution and laws are set at defiance, and distraction, apprehension and alarm take the place of peace-loving and law abiding social life. All parts of the constitution are sacred and must be sacredly observed; the parts that are new, no less than parts that are old. The moral and material prosperity of the Southern States can be most effectually advanced by a hearty and generous recognition of the rights of all by all; a recognition with out reserve or exception; with such recognition fully accorded, it will be practicable to promote by influence of ill 1 the legitimate agencies of the gov ernment, the efforts of tlie people of those states to obtain for themselves the blessing of honest and capable local government. If elected 1 shall con sider it. not only my duty, but my ar dent desire, to labor for tlie attainment of this end. Let me assure mv coun trymen of the Southern states that if I shall be charged with the duty of or ganizing an administration, it will be one which will regard and cherish the truest interest erf the white and color ed people, both equally, and which will put forth its best efforts in behalf of the civil service; which will wipe out forever the distinction between the north and south in' out common coun try. With a civil service organized upon a system which will secure puri ty, experience, efficiency and economy, actual regard for public welfare, as the policy in appointments, and the speedy, thorough prosecution and punishment of all public officers who betray offi cial trusts; with sound currency, with education unsectarian and free to ev ery one alike, with simplicity and fru gality in private affairs, and with a lrateriial spirit of harmony prevailing among people of all sections and class es, we may reasonably hope that the second centennial of our existence as a nation will, by the blessing of (Jod, be permanent as an era of good feeling and a period of prosperity and happi ness. Very respectfully, Your fellow citizen, K. 1J. Hayes. IT LI) EN'S ORGANIZING AIULITY. HAYES LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. What the Papers say of it. The letter is a model of its kind, and one which will greatlv enhance the high regard in which the rejiublican standard-bearer is held. Nothing could be more concise, clear and direct. It is a platform in itself, which the party can proudly stand ujon. That portion relating to civil-service reform has a senuine Uristow ring about it. The utterances concerning the public school svstem and the condition of the south ern states are those of a statesman and p.itriot who knows neither sect nor sec tion. The concluding jiortion is a grand campaign motto. CliVayo Tribune. The letter is a ringingdocument, clear and concise ujion every joint in the jdatfonn, and so pointedly jdain regard ing civil-service reform and one presi dential term only, that it cannot fail to create favorable comment every where. Washington Chronicle. It is all that his most earnest friends could have desired. It is frank ami fearless throughout. National Repub lican. It is the rosiest, happiest jiajier we have read in many a long day. If elect ed he will abolish the Jacksonian rule, "To the victors belong the sjioils," and divide the offices in the interests of honesty and efficiency. One term is enough for one president. As to the currency question he stands by his rec ord. He will make the south a iara dise and be to them a S'obd ansr?!' of jteace and j)lentv. The lengthy refer ence to civil service and the incident al pledge to prosecute all who betray tneir trust meet the general demandof his party. Philadelphia Times (Inde-Iendent.-)- The manly language in which Gov. Hays couches his ncceit'ance gives"earii est of the manliness with which he will fill the presidential office. His judi cious and clearly uttered declarations answer every iiupuiry that can decent ly be ivroivbur.'tled so as to leave no room for doubt. He stands squarely upon the platform, and the jdatform will support him. Philadelphia Inquirer. IJut we can safely leave them (the democrats) to' their chagrin, and iind our gratification in the pleasure which our candidate has afforded the think ing men of the Republican party. His letter is a clear, manly, statesmanlike exposition of the matters referred to. New Orleans Rfjxiblican. 1. Purity; 2. Experience; 3. Efficien cy; 4. Economy. Governor Hayes in his letter of acceptance expresses the opinion that the civil service should be organized ujon a system which shall secure these. He hits exactly the cause of a good m;my of our woes. Niw York Tribune. If Gov. Hayes can be taken at his word he will satisfy the demandof tlie voters for whom the New York joliti oal conference spoke who care more for principles ami jiersons than for par ties. We believe that he will perform what he has promised. N. Y. Evening Post. It is an honest, clear, straightforward utterance that breathes the very spirit of reform, and promises a pure admin istration. N. Y. Commercial Advertis er. The letter does not attempt to make a personal jdatforni. It is in keejnng with the attitude of the Governor in the last Ohio camjiaign, and with the general expectation. It serves the pur pose of a very emphatic and explicit endorsement of platform. Toledo Blade. There is one phase of Sam Tilden'a character as a candidate which the lte publican party cannot afford to under estimate, and which can only be ren-t dered impotent by being met and com bated at every step. Tilden is a shrewd long-headed and unscrupulous politi-. cian, with a genius for organizatlorr and a heavy money power at his back -which he will use without stint or con science. This estimate will not be dis puted by those who know him beat, nor by those who have watched the progress1 of events in the confederate party for the last few months. If there were nothing else in Mr. Tilden's career than his manipulation of the St. Louis Con vention, it would be enough to warn the country that one of the candidates for the Chief Magistracy is a wily and dangerous schemer, who coaxes where he can, bullies where he cannot coax, and buys where he cannot bully. It has gone forth, and received the stamp of official endorsement at St. Louis, that money by the "barrel" is to be used to insure the success of the Confederate party. This is the talisman of the con federate campaign, and in the hands of so exjiert and exjierienced a campaign er as Tilden it will not be wasted. Tilden is a selfish, crusty old bache lor, 03 years of age, who has never been benefited or humanized by tL'e influence of a home and family circle, but whose whole life has been absorbed by money getting and iiolitical wire pulling. His -profession has been that of a corpora tion lawyer, his chief business the re- -organization of railroads and othef semi-jmblic .schemes, and . his amuse- -ment the manipulation of New York a machine jiolities. He is restrained by none of the influences which effect men of family and those engaged in legiti-. mate business juirsuits, but le lias been, accustomed for years to worSf rn chan-. nels that are generally avoided. He . holds himself personally aloof from the dirty work of politics, for he is an aris-. tocrat. and feels that he would be con taminated by association with the horny-handed, lint he has his agents . young, active and energetic, whom he has himself trained uj and who do his bidding well and faithfully. Though Gen. Dix had been elected Governor ot New York in 1872 over Kernan, a strong candidate, bv a vote of 446,801 to 392,350. Tilden was able to beat Dix two vears later by a vote of 416.391 to 300,004. The vote Tilden polled in 18 74 was nearly as large as that polled by .Seymour for President in 1808, with the aid of 30.000 fraudulent votes. It. was the result ot cunning work, . and , systematic organization and lavish use of money. He had a thorough canrass made of the entire State, and prdcirred the name and address of every, man . who had ever voted with the Demr, crats. From every county seat in the State he had a personal and confiden tial appeal addressed to Democratic vo ters in sealed- envelopes, and inclosed their local tickets. The local newspa pers throughout the State had the print ing of these circulars and tickets, and Tilden footed the bills. The whole work was done so secretly that the Ite jiublicans scarcely knew of it until af ter election was over, but it brought out the entire Democratic vote of the State without exciting a suspicion on the other side that so vigorous and fat reaching an effort had been made. Tildens tactics in conducting a Pres dential campaign will be much the same, varying only as the field is larg- , er. He ran for Governor of New York with the Presidency in view. He jumped on Tweed & Co. after the New , York Times and the Republicans of New York had exposed the villains anct ! put many of them to flight; Tilden then had the Presidency in view. He began his canal war with the ulterior motive of being a "Reform candidate for Pres ident. He has been laying his ropes and pulling his wires for years. He has his agents and co-operators in va rious railroad schemes at work for him' in every State in the Union. He had raised money and negotiated loans for certain newspapers and ether institu tions that could 3e of service to him. There r.Ye two or three newspapers not a thousand miles from here which are still waiting to be retained before that ' barrel is exhausted. Within two months Tilden will have arranged for ( the disposal of the entire patrorage" of the United States Government, in case he shall be elected, and will thus", have secured the exjienditure of more time, labor and money in his behalf by those who expect the spoils than those in actual posessien of the offices are ' able or willing to spend to retain them. . He will spare no money of his own, nor permit any of his friends or any of ' those who have been associated with' him in the big" railroad schemes to be niggardly. He will endeavor to cap- ture the country as he captured the St. Louis Convention, and he has had vast experience in this kind of work. He has been the controlling spirit of the New York ring and machine Democra- cy for years, and 1i;ls manipulated State Legislatures, State Conventions, and even National Conventions, when it has been in his interest to do so. All his exjerience, all his money, all his railroad secrets, all his organizing fac ulty, will be concentrated upon the great and absorbing ambition of his selfish old bachelor life, to be elected President of the United States, and they will all be employed without any of the restraint of modesty, morality or conscience. This is the most for midable power which the Republican party must contend against in the pend-" ing campaign. Chicago Tribune. A neck tie vender who got his chol er up and turned choker, was fined S3 and costs for a breach of the peace the other day in Norwich, Con-neck-tie-out. N. Y. Connnwii? Adrerti'T.
