We note this fact with the greatest
satisfaction. New England begins to
see that American enterprise must have

pursued by It's acknowledged leaders in the
House of Representatives, shows It to be Q
resetionary party, opposed to progress and In
favor Of oyerturning those measures which
have been sanctioned BY the people as the re-
suits Of the war.
10. To restore power to party that en-
deayored to betray the Union, that placed
every obstacle in the way Of preserving It, that
discouraged enlistmeuts and the raising of the
needed revenues, that tried to elect Presi-
dent in 1854 on the expressed declaration that
the war Of the Union was q failure, and that
has placed itself on record against those
amendments to the Constitution which gave
political rights to the freedmen and protected
the Treasury of the nation from Confederate
claims would be an act of national suicide un-
paralleled In the history Of the world.
II. It has been challenged TO show TO the
people single public act performed during
the past twenty years on which to base its
claim for support and confidence, and up to
the present time no answer has been made to
the challenge.
Is. 1t has given proof of its unftness to
govern the Union by nominating man for
the Presidency who at the breaking out Of the
war publicly proclaimed his disapproyal Of its
object, during its prosecution secretly favored
the Confederates, and at Chicago, in 1864
signed q resolution declaring the war for the
Union failure.
l9. The false income return Of Samuel j.
Tilden for 1862; his failure to make any re-
turns subsequent to 1868; his unwiliingness TO
pay his share of tax that was relied upon to
pay the expenses of the Government during its
severe trial; his intimate association with such
politicians as VIM. NJ. Tweed; his manipula-
ton of railroad schemes; his participation in
the profits of the illegal paper currency of the
mining companies Of Michigan, and his whole
record as q lawyer and politician prove him
| to be as unreliable as the party that support.
him, and as unworthy Of the peoples conf.
dence. The nomination of such q man Is little
short of an insult to the honest and intelligent
sentiment of the country.
20. The restoration of Democracy TO power
would be the restoration of evils that havs
we'll nigh destroyed the nation; the re,tora
ton Of men that have nc claim on loyal peo-
pie; the rspudiation Of the results Of the war
the elevation of those who sndsavored 10 De.

Reasons Why Hayes should Be
Elected
/. Rutherford B. HAYES is a true p.

l. Rutherford B. Hayes is a true nan 10
every respect.
2. His past record is without stain.
5. He profered his services to the Covers
ment in the hour of need.
4. He was brave soldier, and shed ID
blood in defense of his country.
5. He has given bis time and money for the
good of the nation.
6. He has never betrayed a trust nor .
friend. ,
z. He has never vronged q person out of q
dollar which was due him, or failed to keep
his promise to the humbiest. :.
8. He has made good Governor during
three terms, and has kept himself clear Of
all jobs. His hands are as clean today as
when he entered upon his duties as Governor
of Ohio.
9. He is 10 favor of keeping IaIth with the
nations creditors, and redeeming every pledge
made in time Of war or peace.
10. He is in favor of free schools snd the
maintenance Of the system free from all sec
tartan influences.
| IL. He is earnestly In favor Of the highest
possible purity in the civil service, and would
surround himself, if elected, with men Of
recognized ability and integrity.
II. His past record as a man, as an official,
as a soldier, is the best proof of his eminent
fitness for the high office of President.
l3. He belongs to the army of loyal men
who love the Union and who have given eVt.
dence of their devotion to its highest interests.
L. His election would secure 8 sound cur.
Irncy, protect and improve the public credit,
advance throughout the world the national
honor, and restore to the people prosperity in
all the great certres OF trade and commerce.
Is. Lastly. Rutherford Hayes Is 3 model
husband, father and friend, qualities which
honor the man, and would honor the highest
Office within the gift OF the people. =.
| Can any one doubt the superior fitness Of
such q man for the Pres!dencYl Can there
be possible risk in calling him to rule over
the Republici Is he not just the man that q
needed TO shape the destinies Of the next four
yearsl Study his character, examine his
record, weigh him in all those qualities which
go to make up the citizen and the statesmap,
and he will come out Of the examination the
same noble man. With such leader the Re-
publican party must win; with such Presi-
dent the nation could not help advance in ths
path Of material progress.

Reasons Why TiIden Should Not be
Elected.

For the following good and sufficient rea-
sons Samuel ]. Tflden should not be elected
President of the United States:
1. Prior to 1851, he was in full sympathy,
personal and political, with those Southern
leaders who conspired to destroy the Union.
Q. He encouraged rebellion in 1850 and 1851
by declaring that the Government had no con-
stitutional right to coerce the South into obey.
ing laws.
8. He made false return of his income In

OUR PUBLIC CREDIT.-The Democratic plat
form demands reform in order TO restore the
public credit. The promptness with which
the capitalists of this and other countries take
the proffered loan of $500, 900, 900 at four and
a half per cent. looks as if our public credit
was in most excellent condition. AS it stands
better than ever before in our history 1t is not
likely that q term OF Democracy could im-
prove it.
