We'though'l 'so. - Bowles couldn't
help it. The thing, had to be. Bowles
was " pledged to C out-Adams j every
other Adams man, and sq the Spring
field Republican, although a Hayes
paper, must perforce supjport Charles
Francis for Governor of Massachu
setts. - . - -; ,
The Republican says the nbmina
lion of Mr. Adams is ihe smartest
thing in politics this year!, an unusual!
visitation of common sense. It com
pares the State ticket in detail with
the - Republican, and pronounces it
fully equal if not superior in all re
spects, and it indicates itb purpose to
favor its election on grounds of State
policy "and reform. Thje following
are extracts f ram its editorial:! f'This
brilliant stroke I, of political . stratjegy
will undoubtedly win many -hesitating
voters, both, within jand without
the ; State,- to the support of. Go
vernor Tildeh,- but it will not reduce
the Massachusetts votel for 5 Hayes.
It will not"'uuder .the , the preseptas
peUsjTof , the. ej'repder'it lresi

'with, other Uocal causesV make, tbe re
sult of the State ! and i. Congressional

Ved'and will not hesitateHtp vote! for
Hayes 'and :-W heeler, -will vote for
Charles Fran cis Adams for Governor
of Massachusetts; and it: will not be
siirprising if there are enbugbj ' of
these, to insure his election. . Indeed,
the consequences of this nomination
are:; far reaching : and as yet uipde
veloped. They are likely to go; not
only beyond J&assachusetts, ; h be
yond this campaign ; Itj is the best
single move on the political 'chess
board this year, and its effect! upon
the game threatens to, be serious."
With all of his enthusiasm Bowles
is illogical. Adams will help Tilderi
in and out of the Bay State. -This
Bowles ought to know, j ..;.;'
' - There seeras; to be a strong jnews

dent, occurring at tbe same time as; the

-with keepiBg the peace and securing an hn-;

known, is to endeavor to bund up the
wanine fortunes of the Republican ' party,
by intimidating and dispiriting the whites,'
and giving 'countenance to the unprinci
