AS We hoped--as we belieyed--hav
ing faith In the loyalty Of the Ameri'
can people-they have aroused, and
will cast beneath their feet the once
benumbed but now resuscitated SER
pent, that they have kindly forgiven
and nurtured in their bosoms, In the
spirit of the most unbounded charity.
Tho Democratic Confederate house
last winter, so showed their love for
tho lost causc--so demanded for JEFF
Davis amnesty, who declined to ask
for it--so kicked MANNED. Union SOL
diers ont to provide room to bring
cx-rebel soldiers to the front, and put
forward the most deeply dyed rebel
coppcrhead for President, and fol-
lowed their nomination by naming
for nearly all minor offices, especially
for members of Congress, old cop
perheads Of the same stripe, that the
memories of the heroic dead--of the
woes Of four years Of rebellion-the
-decp-dycd infamy of these pretended
reformers-havc aroused the honest,
the patriotic, the noblest elements Of
society, and they come rolling down
with overwhelming force upon Sc
cretly cheriEhed treason, upon pro-
slavery cohorts, upon Tweed-Tilden
w I'D
corruption, and even Colorado where
so many draft skedaddlers hied to,
follows glorious old Vermont and
Maine and eclipses the grand repub.
lican victories in those states.
This glorious charge upon the
flank of the enemy by Colorado, will
roll along its thunders over tho battle
in the center now waging in
Ohio and Indiana. and will chill the
hearts of democracy until it will
break and surrender in dismay, as 1t
did on that noted occasion at Appo-
mattox.

~ ,,e peuocratlc organ Of Ohio
A few days before the nomination
Of Samuel j. Tilden, when free te
speak its honest belief, the Cincinnati
Enquirer said:
| It cannot but be that man educated
in canning, IN hypocrisy, IN iniquity,
nominated in corruption and shameless
efy0nteTy even though his millions
could elect him, would give us the
most corrupt administration the coun-
try has ever known.
And 1t has never rctracted this
plain and truthful utterance.
Again, on the 9th Of June, 1876, the
Cincinnati Enquirer said Of Samuel
j. Tilden:
He Is a hypocrite, a political ssrin-
der, has long been public plunderer,
and is the only disreputable candi-
date prominently named on the dem
ocratic side.
And 1t has never rctracted one
iota of this honest opinion.
Again, on the same day, the Gin
cinnatl Enquirer said:
He has sought this high Office by
methods so Mnprecedentedly shameless
and disreputa6le that 1t would be an
eUerl0sting stigma upon a democratic
convention to nominate him and re-
1Toach upOn the American people to
elect hin, If nominated.
And It has never so much as pro-
fessed to have fallen into the least er-
ror in these assertions.
On the 9Th of June last, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer said:
The political jobbers, thieves and
betrayers of the people arc very gen.
orally in favor of Tilden.
And on the 7th Of the same month
it said:
Mr.. Barlow is the champion rail-
way "undertaker" and iobber Of New
York. Of course he's for Tilden-aN
men Of his stripe are. With Iillen
in the achite house men of Mr.. Bar

sxpt and thiecing elements in the dem
acratic party are moring to,eard ire

And 80 1t still believes for aught
1t has said in retraction.
On the 9th of fJnne last, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer said:
The action of the st. Louis Conven-
ton will not change in the least the
truths which we have uttered about
Mr.. Tilden. He cannot command the
vote Of the democrats of Ohio.
