Geo. W. Fairbrother, Ch'n Cen. Com. "W A. Polock, Sce'y The New York Times is a terror to evil doers. It was that paper that exposed the corruptions of Tweed and Tammany. The latest great good work of the Times was in exposing the dark practices and frauds of that old political lawyer Samuel J. Tilden. It has shown and proven, conclusively that Mr. Tilden has made sworn state ments so inconsistent nnd inharmon ious with each other as to leave no doubt on the minds of all candid peo ple, that ho has sworn falsely, with. the intent to do so, and is tuerelore a perjurer. The Times is a very candid honest journal, and when it makes a charge of corruption or fraud on an individual, the attention of tho coun try is at once drawn to it, for its rep utation for having facts at its com mand to back Its allegations is such that the people always expect there is afire in whatever direction that pa per starts a smolcc. In 1SG3 Mr. Tilden returned his in come of 1SG2 at tho small sum, for him. of S7.11S. The Timesharing. considerable knowledge of the busi ness of Mr. Tilden and knowing ho was reputed to bo a very wealthy man, suspected the Govrenment had been and was being defrauded by him and, as a detective, was watching for a clue to expose his undoubted rascal ities. So, when a short time ago Mr. Tilden filed his answer in the suit against him by tho St. Louis, Alton & Terro Haute railroad company, and in that answer swore that in the year 1SG2 ho received $20,000 of an income from that railroad company, tho re turn ol income ol tuirteen years ago was at once remembered, aud "this and that were compared, aud the re sult, was an awful lie, a govern ment swindle, and a perjurer were ex posed. Since this exposure, the Times has been unearthing other Items of Mr. Tilden's income in 1S62 which he fail ed to return. In its daily issue of September 4th the Times says: We have discussed this question to very little purpose if we have not made it clear that this $20,000 fee formed but a mere fraction of Mr. The Brooklyn Argus, a Democratic paper, but knows Tilden too well to support him for the Presidency, has as well as the Times, been looking up Mr. Tilden's income for the year 18G2 with the following result: From the Terre Haute Railroad .. $20,000 From tho Cumberland Conl Company.....-... 5,000 Bonds of theTcrro IJaute Itallroad . 33,000 Interest from 3tr.

IW.OOO Interest on loans........-............... 6,(03 New York Balance Dock Company. . 1,000 Total ? 1 4S.000 Now if you say tne New York Times lies because it is n Republican paper, hero is a.Democratic witness, published at Mr. Tilden's seat of oper ations, which corroborates tho chargo made by tho Times. How do our Democratic friends like this Demo cratic witness? Do you not think Mr. Tilden has been swindling the Government out of taxes ho justly owes ? His return was seven thousand one hundred and eighteen dollars, and ho saves, by false sweariug, at this rate about $7,000 a year in twelve years, $S4,000. And in this nnd sim ilar ways Shammy the Democratic reformer has saved a heap of money. RELIABLE FIGUPvES. Extract from Jno. A. Logan's Great Speech in Chicago. The Kansas City Times on the Editor of the Omaha Herald. The Times is a Democratic paper, and we use the following from it in evidence of what we said of Miller the other day, and what wo again say that he is a scoundrel and a common liar. The Times says : "Dr. Miller, of the Omaha Herald, keeps on talking a about 'brass collars.' He Uas worn more of them, and ought to know more about them, than any other man in tho west. With the collar of the Credit Mobilier on his neck he has di; graced the Call for Republican District Conven tion Second Judicial District. The Republican electors of tho coun ties of Lancaster, Otoe, Cass and Ne maha, comprising theSecond Judicial Distriei of the State of Nebraska, are hereby called to send delegates from eaid several counties to meet in Dis trict Convention at Lincoln, Neb., on the 27th day of September A. d. 1S76, at 2 o'clock i ar. for the purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for the office of District Attorney for such district. The several counties above named are entitled to representation in said District Convention as follows: Cass. Lancaster Nemaha . Otoe.-.... . 9 15 . C .... 9 Ttis respectfully rccoraended that the several counties, at the convention to be held or called to scud delegates lo the State Convention, send dele gates to said District Convention as above apportioned. By order of the Second Judicial Central Committee. E. F. Warren, Chm'n. .Nebraska City, Neb., Aug. 30 th, 1S73, Tilden's income in 1S62. We have al ready traced to him a payment of $3, 000 from the Cumberland Coal Com pany, half of which was certainly paid tor "services rendered" in that year. We have given the titles of six mortgages or indeutuies drafted in 1SG2 for the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne "reconstructed" company, and which we can confidently assert did not yield him less than $25,000. -We have all but proved the receipt of $20, 000 from the Chicago and Northwest ern railroad in the same year, and we lake his own statement for the fact that Trim interest on investments, &c, he received about that time $13, 000. It would rer'Jire a very liberal deduction for repairs, cyoenses, &.c, to reduce any eueh aggregate as yet very far from complete to the taxa ble income of $7,11S sworn to by Mr. Tilden. The Times challenges Mr. Tilden or his friends to an investigation of all these charges, legally if they choose, and says, "We are perfectly ready, as we have always been, to prove Mr. Tilden a perjurer and a swindler. Mr. Tilden's newspapers and petti foggers attempt no answer to these serious things, worthy the attention of anyone looking for facts, but dispose of them in a single breath by saying "they are all silly bosh." This dis position of charges which embrace more than one serious crime, will hardly satisfy a people disposed to vote for an honest man for President. ! namo of Democrat in Nebraska, and with the collar of Jay Gould still chafing his windpipe, he never speaks except to slander the Democracy of tho west. As every ass knoweth his master's crib, we do not doubt that this one knows where to cring that thrift may follow fawning. But we have an idea that thesalary he draws forrepesent Ing the U. P. railroad ring in the National Democratic Committee, Is money Invested in one of the feeblest and most ineffectual liars that ever served as valet to a thief or tried to throw dirt at his betters. We say this In till kindness to him, because we believe he will cut it out, send it to Jay Gould, and demand a 'raise' on the strength of it." Ethan Allen, a King of the turf is dead.- Ho has a record of 2:15. Jell. Thompsou, an ex-rebel Gener al, died in St. Joseph, Mo., last week. Gen. Benj. F.Butlerwill be amem ber of the next Congress. Good ! John Tyler, jr., of Virginia, is an able advocate of the election of Hayes and Wheeler. It Is reported that Tweed has been arrested that he was picked up in Spain. He may get home yet in time to do something for his old friend Tilden. George W. Dorsey has received the -appointment of Receiver of the Eloomiugton U. S. Land office. We "congratulate our old friend on his good luck. Vermont and Maine have gone He publican by unusually large majori ties. The Republicans gain largely everywhere in Maine. This is a very favorable beginning. Mr. Blaine will make his firstspeech in Indiana, at the Tippecanoe battle ground, Sept. 26. Den. Harrison will be present, and this will be the grand rally of tho campaign. The Nebraska Democratio State Platform Is about as profuse in the declaration of principles, a3 the Na tionalDemocratic platform, or Tilden's letter of acceptance. It contains seven planks. The first endorses the St. Louis-Tllden-Hendricks-Southeru Confederacy platform. The second expresses lack of faith in Republicans. The third "arraigns" the Republican party. The fourth "denounces" the Republican party. The fifth, for fear the fourth has not sufficientlv "de nounced" the Republican party, "de nounces" it again. The sixth declares the Republican party a fraud because it "has not equalized bounties of the soldiers." Wo presume the term "equalize" meaus to place tho rebel soldiers on an equal footing with the Union soldiers. Tho seventh is red hot on punishing officials forstealing. That we judge has particular refer ence to stealing under Graut'sadmin istration as compared with Van Bu ren's. Grant's 20 cents on the thou sand dollars, and Van Buren's $21.15 out of each thousand. It seems from the records at Cincin nati, that Gov. Hayes swore in for taxation, property worth $32,000, at $3,500. He Is also charged with re ceiving $400 from a bounty jumper, for which ho has not accounted, and he does not deny the charge. How is this for the immaculate and pure standard bearer of the Republican party ? -Falls City Press. There is no such a record In exist ence. Gov. Hayes swore to no such thing. 'There is a record, easily ac cessible, showfngallabout Gov. Haye3 taxable property, and showes nothing wrong. This record, since they have started the lie, the Democracy prefer not to publish, as it most completely clears Gov. Haye3 of the charges. These little party demagogues like the Press instead of telling tho whole truth undertake to satisfy their. read ers by bare assertions not sustained by a single fact. No one knows bet ter than they that this attack on Gov. Haye3 is a "roorbach" of the thinnest and most trilling texture. In other words they persist in magnifying the boshicst kit:I of a lie. Attorney General Tafft has given instructions authorizing the protec tion of southern voters of every class, in accordance with the Democratic resolution of Congres, passed last win ter. The Baltimore Gazette, a stanch and Influential Democratic organ, calls on the States to muster the State militia and the general mob to oppose the U. S. Government, just as they opposed the passage of the Union sol diers through Baltimore in 1SG1. The Gazette stigmatiszes the Attorney Genera's instructions to the U. S. Marshals as "a bloody purpose,'" and shrieks, "To the bayonet wo must oppose the bayonet !" It was by just such sparks as these that our late civ il war was kindled, nnd suoh rebell ious spirits will work southe-in Dem ocrats into sucii a frenzy, that soon we may have en our hands a second rebellion. tiiey ritorosE to reform public EXPENSES. Yes, my fellow citizens, wo are all in favor of economy, and are read to cut down publio expenditures when it can beproperly done without injury to the public Bervice During the lost session these patriotic reformers tried their hand at It, seemingly determin ed to make capital for thePre9ldentlnl election at whatever cost or sacrifico to tho country; and, in cutting down tho appropriations $20,000,000 below last year, instead of whot might have reasonably been done, they have left the civil service In a crippled condi tio, so much so that there will bo largo deficiencies ut tho end of the fiscal year. The naval appropriation has beon reduced to such an oxtent that the Secretary of tho Nnvy was compelled to order homo many officers valuable to the service and place them on furloughed pay, which leaves the service in a very deplorable condition. Many of our iron-olnds that needed repairs will have to go without. This is not economy, but a reckless and wnntou blow struck at one of the most important branches of our national protection. They cut down our dip lomatic and consular bill, and refused to comply with tho law, in such a nig gardly style as to leave our soivico a disgrace in the eyes of tho nations of the earth. In the sundry civil bill they cut out and stopped works of great importance so that it will cost enormously to bring them up again. On tho river and harbor bill, however, they showed the cloven foot. While cutting down appropriations for neces sary works they added on overy creek, river, and goose pond aud muddy fork of every stream they could find in a Southern Stateor Democratic District. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were lavished upon them merely to get money out of tho Treasury to bo spent this fall among their Confede rate friends. To illustrate their hon esty and public economy, take the II nois River and compare it with tho Kanawha River iu West Virginia. For the Illinois River they give $40,000; for the Kanawha they give $300,000. This ono item illustrates the whole bill as it was fixed up in the House of Renresentn-iivos. This is a specimen of the legislation you will get when the power aud control goes into their hands. Your money will be squandered nil over tho South merely on political grounds, and with all this loud talk about economy and the burthens of the people, not one of reduction of taxation has been pro vided by these gentlemen in Congress. But- now, fellow citizens, let us com pare the conduct of Republicans iu the reduction of taxes, etc , tor tho many years past with the course of the Democracy. THE PUBLIC DEBT AND ITS REDUCTION. Juno 30, 1SGG, our public debt was $2,640,34S,G00; on the 1st day of Au gust, 1S76, $2,093,301,311.00; showing a reduction in ten years of $542,046, 6SS.94, besides paying the running ex penses of the government, anil the millions of dollars on claims growing out of the war ; and in addition to this we have annually reduced the taxation, and at all times kept a sur plus in the United States Treasur-. In 1SGG, the revenue derived from the internal revenue alono was $309,226, 813. This amount was derived from taxes on various articles, but constant ly reductions have been made until now in 1S7G, the revenue from this source is reduced to $116,000,000, a re duction in taxation of nearly $200, 000,000 per annum, ond this year we had a surplus in the Treasury of $29, 000,000, which has been applied on the national debt. Does this look like a desire on tho part of Republicans to oppress the people, or does it look like tryiug to pay Hie honest debt of the nation, incurred by the Democrat ic rebellion? our Increase of machinery, as the cost in 1859. The cost per capita In 1S59 for running the gov ernment (there being then 31,000,000 people,) was 2.10 Cost Iu 1S7G under Grant, counting the popula tion at 43,000,000 (and all will consider that a fair reckoning), would be about 1.G0 Difference In favor of Republican econo my 13, per capita.. . ... .50 Now, my friends, take this table of actual expenses in 1S59 aud 1S7G, and whet is this howl about tho great ex pense of runuiugthe government, ex cept to mislead and deceive? The ac cusation of extravagance has no foundation in fact, but is falsely made in order lo excite the prejudices of tho tax-payers, who may not examluo the question fully. From Jan. 1, 1831, to June 1, 1S61 tho loss for this period, Including all administrations, per $1,000, was, mak ing an average on tho whole, $2 09. From Julyl, 18Gl.to.Tuno 30, 1875, covering tho wholo period of Repub lican rule, thelos3 per $1,000 Is 34 cents. CUST03IS. Let us take a fow items for Illustra tion : Daring Jackson's administration, losses from customs per jl.000 . tV7"6 Van Huron Customs pcr?t,000 .... 3.0.1 CJ runt's Losses por JI.O0O on customs - .02 WAR DEPARTMENT.

Then tako the Indian Bureau, about which so much has been said, aud see how honestly it was administered during Buchanan's time; and some of tho very mon now iu Congress who aro howling about corruption were in Congress during Buchanan's term, and his strong supporters. The losses in tho Indian Bureau on disbursements were per $1,000 : DurlnK Ruchanan's term.. . fCS.58 During Grant's term . .17 Tilden's TYar Record. The Democrats have hunted up a place for Charles Francis Adams. They have nominated him for Gov ernor of Massachusetts. Why can't Tipton and Trumbull be provided for and Warner and Ambrose 1 Gen. Crook has given up the chase after Sitting Bull's army, and Is re turning into the Black Hills country for supplies for his worn out men and horses. He will endeavor to give pro tection to the whites of the Hills. At last accounts Gen. Terry was still on the trail of one wing of the Sioux army. Col. Warner, a renegade Republican from Dacotah county, who like Tip ton, the Omaha Herald has patted on tho back for a few years past, did the principal talking at the Democratic Convention recently held at Omaha. In the course of his remarks ho said he-"thought more of a rebel than of a Republican. ' No doubt of it. No accounting for taste now-a-days. They must have had a jolly time at the Democratic convention in Omaha last week, judging from the publish ed reports. Our neighbor, Mr. Lett, "from this county, Is reported to have said in a "few remarks" ho made Jto the convention that "There never has been so much hope for Brown ville. The people have rallied till we now number three to one of the Re publicans." That is cheeriug news to the frieud3 in Brownville. While the convention had under consideration the selection of a can didate for the office of Commission er of Public Lands a delegate arose and addressed the convention, "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives For Christ sake, let us put up a strong man for this responsible position." It now appears that Democratic of ficers examined Governor Haj'es' tax returns at Fremont, satisfied them selves that they were correct, and so reported. It further appears that prominent Democrats of Fremont ex press their willingness to testify that Governor Hayes put in his property for taxation above its value in money. The Democratic paper at Fremont de clined to publish the contemptible slander about him. Will some Tilden imbecile start another story ? .a. o- TIIEY ARE CLAMOROUS ABOUT EX PENSES OF GOVERNMENT. In computing the expenses of the government they insist on comparing the expenses now and In 1859, in or der to show the increase. This is about as honest, however, a3 anything else they attempt: The total expenses of the uovcrnment in ISM were J 03.051,000 The total expenses for 1S7G, were In round numbers . 23S,000'000 Deduct tho interest on the public debt caused by tho Democratic war. $100,000,000 Tho addition to pension list since war...... 2S,O0i),00O Expenses paid on different waraccounts, 42,000,000 New service, postal, internal revenue, and others not In existence In 1S59 9,000,000 Add growth of the country, increase of the army, navy, etc . . ... 10,000,000 The grandest demonstration that has ever beon in Chicago since the days of Lincoln, was accorded to Carl Schurz on the evening of the 7fh. The torch-light procession numbered five thousand. The Democratic Convention held at Omaha last week to set up a list of men to be knocked down by the voters of the State, with the exception of Paren England, of Lincoln, for Governor, selected men heretofore un known. None of the old war horses cared for any of it in theirs. It has, we believe, been generally understood that tho recruit, ex-Senator Tipton, of this county, desired the nomina tion for Governor on tho ticket. Why he was not nominated is best known to that august assemblage. That talk about Tilden's having avoided the payment of his iucome tax is the sillist bosh. Falls City Press. This "eilllest bosh" is a very plain case anybody but a Democratic re former "can see" it easily. In 1S63 Gov. Tilden swore that his total in come for 1862 was $7,11S. In 1S76 he swore tnat ne receiveu o.uu'J from the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute R. R. company. Now, Tilden either swore falsely in 1864, or thirteen years after he took that oath he swore false I3' to beat the railroad company. To Democratic reformers (!) this may be the "silliest bosh," but to honest peo ple, who are looking out for honest officials, it looks very much like per- jury. And so on the comparison will go, and the whole record shows that un der Grant tho losses to tho govern ment from all sources have been on tho account of moneys disbursed less thau under any Democratio adminis tration that was ever In power. Ap plause. It is a well-known fact that durlngBuohannn's administration the public printer paid 40 per cent, of his profits into the Democratic political fund, per contract, and that he swore to it before a committee, and some of tho same men that are now in Con gress wanting to reform tho whole world at once were then in Congress and the supporters of Mr. Buchanan. Let me now present one more item showing the utter falsity of the charges of extravagance and corrup tion in our management. Take, for example, the First Auditor's office. In 18G0 there were claims examined in number 1.9S1. In 18G1 it cost to ex amine each $4.10; the amounts were $157,000,000. In 1S75 the number ex amined were 7,005; the amount in volved, $1,144,000,000; coat of exami nation of each, $3.0G. In all the other Auditor's offices the same result will be found, and sc it is in every depart ment of the government. The system ofebecks, balances, accounting, book keeping, and everything pertaining to the whole S3'stem of the mauage- I inent of the government is vastly im proved. The character for honesty, integrity aud ability of tho govern ment official i3 greatly advanced. Honesty and capacity under Repub lican control hos been the rule, end incapacity and dishonesty the excep tion ; while under Democratic control ignorance, stupidity and plunder was the rule, and ability and integrity the exception. Voice "That's so." Iu this mad career of villificatiou and slander against the only loyal party of tho country they wish 3-ou to forget that the government credit, when wrecked by them, had to be up held at twelve per cent, on Its leans, and that now, under tho only party that has saved its honor and credit, our loans aro made at four and one half per cent. Loud appluuse. They want to have you forget the fact that we have year by year since the war reduced expenses and taxation, and in the last ten y'ears we have paid on an average fifty million dollars per annum on the publicdebt, and reduc- eu tne annual interest burden over forty million dollars. They want you to forget that we have provided for every obligation of tho government, including the sinking fund, and es tablished a credit for this nation sec ond to none. Long applause. Tho following is an extraot from a letter written by Samuel J. Tilden Oct. 12, I860, to William Kent: The single slender conventional tie which hold tho states in confedera tion has no' strength compared with ttio compacted, iutwining fibers which bind the atoms of human so ciety Intb one formation of national growth. Tha masters of political science who contructed our system preserved the State Governments as bulwarks for the freedom of individuals aud local ities against oppression from central ized power. They recognized no right of constitutional secession, but they left revolution organized when it should be demanded by tho public opinion of a state; left it with the power to snap the tie of confederation as a nation might break a treaty, and to repel coercion as a nation might re pel invasion. They caused us to de pend, in great measure, upon public opinion of the States, in order to maintain a confederated union. They intended to make it necessary for us, iu every reasonable extent, to r.spect that publio opiulou. As a rule of right aud duty of the construction and execution of tho Constitution, tho theory maintained by Seward, and too extensively ac cepted, is entirely falacious, as no con tract governing complicated transac tions or relations between men, and applying permanently through the changes Inevitable in human affairs, can be effectual if either party intend ed to bo bound by it is at liberty to construe or execute Its provisions in a spirit of hostility to the substantial object of these provisions. Eespecial ly Is this true of n compact of confed eracy between the States, where there can be no common arbiter invested with authorities and powers equally capable with those which courts poses ses between individuals for determin ing nnd enforoing a just construction and of the instrument. Tilden's own record condemns him, and gives the lio to tho assertion which his pettifoggers make so fre quently, that he was a- "war Demo crat." Tho above letter of his speaks pure and unadulterated Calhounism, and did much in encouraging secess ionists to undertake the dissolution of the Union. Indiana The Importation of Voters. THE Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7. In the matter of tho libel suit instituted by Austin H. Brown against the Jour nal for republication of an article from the Inter-Ocean relntive to the late confidential letter to Governor Hendricks, the Journal accepts the challenge.

He had been accused of steal ing railroad shares, but has explained that in a certain year he received $20, 000 as a railraod attornej'. That same year, he made a sworn statement of his income to the revenue assessor, and set the amount at $7,000, upon which sum he paid tax. To escape the stigma of thief, he confesses to being per jurer. The excuse of his friends Is, that others did the same thing ! It is a nice excuse for a great Reformer. The dilemma in which he is placed, is telling against him fearfully. Kansas Chief. FOWLER FL7 FAN! TO T55E PUBLIC.

CITAKGE IN Th& Albany Evening Times says, No such demoralization in the Demo cratio party has existed iu the State of New York since 1S4S, and its cause can be traced to the leadership of Gov. Tilden." The New Orleans Hcview claims that Tilden and Hendricks are just such Democrats as the rebels want State rights Democrats who would not coerce a State should it take a no tion to leave the Union. The Hcviciu says : Both these distinguished individ uals are understood by the JefFerson lan Democrats that is to say, they aro advocates of Stato rights and Stato sovereignty for each of the States sep parately, and of Federal rights and Federal sovereignty for all the States j together. OF CORRUPTION MADE THEIR PLATFORM. But you are told by these Confede rate saints and Northern allies that the Republican party is corrupt. My countrymen, I deny it. There never has been a party composed of more honest or braver men ; that there is corruption and has been with individ uals I do not deny, and that there will be so long as human government ex ists, no one but an idiot will deny. But that the old putrid Democratic party should insult the iutelligeuceof the American people by speaking of the corruption of the Republican ad ministration, as compared with their own, is audacity beyond comnrehen- sion. Look at the administrations of Jackson, Van Buren, Pierce and tho old rotten, demoralized and treasona ble concern of Buchanan laughter, where nearly half theofilcers were de faulters, and when offices were bought and sold to raise money for nolltical purposes, as If they were mere mar ketable commodities. Let me for a moment compare tho losses In dis bursements under these administra tions as contrasted with Republican administrations. This shows that the actual cost of administering tho affairs of the na tion, deducting the expenses incident to the war, is about thesame, with all Portland, Sept. 11. Two hundred and fourteen towns give Conner 52,- 970 ; Talbot, 41,422 ; republican major ity, 11,548; republican net gain, 7,847. Tho towns to be heard from gave last year a republican majority of 327. in an aggreate vote of 34,007. Tho total vote of the Stato will probably reach 134,000, and the republiccn majority about 12,000. Reed is elected to Con gress in the first district. Republicans are also elected in the other four dis tricts by increased majorities. Ihe republicans will have two-thirds of the house, probably twentv-seven out of imny-one senators. An old German Democrat tho other day gave the best of reasons for voting the Republican ticket when he said, "I have been a Democrat all my life, and even iu aud during the war Icall- ed myself a Democrat still; but now I see arrayed against the Republican candidates all of the old enemies of the war those who constantly insist ed that the war was a failure, and that the South could never be coerced into the Union. Isee, also, thattheDemo cratic party claim an undivided South as going against the Republican party In the coming Presidential election; I see tho two men who head the Democratic ticket as" a party of the war for the suppression of tho rebel lion, and I think it 13 time for me to joln the ranks of the friends of' the Union.

When an egregious ass, and dema gogue like Dr. Miller brays "reform" It is absolutely disgusting. The "roorbach" about the tax re turns of Gov. Hayes originated with Gen. J. B. Steedmau, editor of the Toledo Democrat. The General is an old-school Democrat, and believes iu slander as an important element of political warfare. He was appointed Collector of internal Revenue at New Orleans in 1SG7, and although he was in office only two years he failed to account for some $50,000 when re moved by President Grant. He was indignant at his removal; he believed in civil-service 1 eform ; he-is a reform er now, but on account of that New Orleans business has been under a cloud, so to speak. It is unkind to mention this, of course, but this Is the man who forgets the gentleman and the soldier toslander Governor Hayes Inter-Ocean.
