of the Democratic party, that under
the very worse leadership, it has been
constantly kept on tn" defensive.
The aim of the Radical party is
now to cover over all it, |rimrs, hide
from public cxrcration AL its jnia

charges against the South, the terrific
condition Of the Nnrt|lrrn amt West

the rail Dads, and the pr">trati"n Of
all the business interests of the c"nn-

the opposition to the Radical admin

abundant evidence that Hayes is ON

election will be but renewal Of the
present condition of things. He is
the appointed and selected in>trn
mpnt to make. in fact, e mod team
for the corrupt men who have forced
Grant into the degraded position he
holds to-day. Hayes is but the out

sihle, and if that was not to be accom-
pli>led, then to bring ont nominee
who was Grant, in all tut name.
