The Last Tissue Of Republican Lies
...Hayes and the Ameri.
n Alliance,
Cincinnati Eu,nlrnV

't'f'
The desperate and futile attempt i
made to extricate Hayes from Lis Gamer
lean Alliance" discontinue by braaer
lalsehood, The following letter wa
handed TO the New York Times TO b,
tcIegraphed to the country, and the coun
try Is already in possession Of the lie;
AMERICAN ALLIANCE, EXECUTIVE Com
MITTEE Rooms, NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-TO N,
EditOr Of he NeW lOJb TmGE',-I wish tC
correct some OF the MISTAKES in the Letter
which vas published in the World, Sun, &c.
on Wednesday, 10 coming from Governor
Hayes secretary!
First-GOyernOr Hayes never w1s q mem
Der OF the American Alliance.
SccOnd-He never saw the constitution OF
bylaws Of the organization.
Third-NO committee Of this order ever, al
any time, called on him at Columbus, Phila'
delphia or any other place for any purpose
We simply notified him by letter that we in
dorsed his nomination, in answer to which
we received the letter from his secretary.
That letter was taken from my Office, and
! was as much surprised as any one can be
to see il in print, ! am at a loss to know
why those papers should find any fault with
the proceeding, as we Endorsed Mr.. Tilden
two years ago and he found no fault with 1t,
but, on the contrary, was very grateful for
the assistance, only he requested that II
might be kept secret, for if it should become
public he feared he might lose the foreign
vote. Respectfully yours,
LEMUEL y. TYLER,
Secretary OF the American Alliance.
This lisa sample of the republican
methods Of conducting the canvass, The
above is a forgery to begin with, and a
tissue Of lies in the second place. The
letter is dated Oct. 6, 1876, and purports
to be signed, in New York, by Lemuel
;. Tyler. But Lemuel =. Tyler was in
Germany on that day, and has been
abroad since the Goth day of
July last. lie could have writ
ten no letter in New York on
the sixth instant when three thousand
miles away, The letter being a forgery,
a fact of which we are just now assured
by an officer ofthe american Alliance
in Ohio, il, Of course, made up of lies,
the admission Of the genuineness of the
title Of the private secretary of Governor
Hayes being the one redeeming feature
of the political trick and falsehood. 1t
is charged, for example, in this forged
letter, that the american Alliance" in
dorsed Mr.. Tilden for governor two years
ago, that he found no fault with it, that
he was very grateful, and requested that
it be kept secret, for if 1t should be made
public he feared it might lose the foreign
vote. This is IN important admission.
The truth has hit. 1t is confessed by
even the republican liars that Hayes
ought to lose the entire naturalized vote.
1t is attempted to charge a like offense
upon Mr.. Tilden. We have before us
the authentic paper giving the date Of
the organization of the American ALI
lnce, signed by Lemuel S. Tyler, chief
secretary, 1t begins as follows:
AMERICAN ALLIANCE, NATIONAL ExECr.
TIVE COMMITTEE Rooms, NEW YORK, June
;, 1876 To Mc Amcrjcdn Voters Of The
LRiied StateS:-At Il Conference Of dele.
Iates representing different American or
lers in the United States, held in Philadel.
phia on May 10, 1876, Il Joint organization
perfected under the name and title Of
the American Alliance" based upon and
to further the principles OF "AMEDICANs
RULING AMERICA"
The American Alliance" it thus Off
appears, was organized on the 10Th
IF last May, and it's doctrines was first
ormally promulgated on the Sth of last
Mr. Tilden was elected governor
n 1874, two years before the american
illiancci' was born. This is all that
iced be said about that forged letter Of
les.
