The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1876-10-26

The following is an extract from
private letter written to cltl-
zen of Yates township; and we pub
lish it for the purpose of showing
some of the feeling existing toward
Tildcn in his own State:
LYSDoN~TII.E, y. y. Oct. 10, 1876.
= 4 :; Is You ask who l
| think, and who l hope will be elect
cd President. TO both questions
arswcr-lIaycs. All my reasons
for these answers | cannot here
rive. AS to the two candidates,
personally, | think Hayes stands
first. Tildcn or his friends, have
thus far failed to show that he
truthfully reported this income
when he made n report of it, and
for several years lie failed to
make any report. This does not
look like being fair man and Il
willing supporter of our eonntr!
in its hour ofnccd. Tildcn's claim
rs a rclormcr rests mainly urol
his attack on the canal ring of this
State. In this matter, the Demo
, craft; speaker Of our assembly II
that time, charged that Tildcn di'
! not wish a committee of invcstiga
c ton appointed after he had issue.
his famous message on canal ut
fairs: and certain it is that nothin!
has yet been recovered to the Stat
It from this ring.
s But while | think it importan
>: that an honest and capable ma
should be placed in tho presidcr
. tial chair, | think it yet more ir
i portant that he should be surround
IS cd and backed by the right Kin
&c of a party; for the President, who
= socycr he may be, must i'll I'll
u main, carry out the wishes of I'll
" party that elects him. Where is IL
strength Of the Democratic part.
y. In the South. Who controls TIN
. party in the South? The men wi
:, a few years since were trying WI
Id all their might to destroy this Go
tc crnmcnt and to make slavery
&c permanent institution. These a
l. the men that must and will contr
affairs if the Democratic party
IL tr;umnhont in the coming clcctio
DC and | do not think it safe to tru
C. them to manage this govcrnmc'
ell That they have not repeated
,;s their crimes is shown by TIT
-. speeches and acts in Congress, !;
no session. Men who had riskcd tn
eli lives and lost their limbs in defer
ing tho government were put {
of Office that their places might
vs. filed by those who aimed tho mi
ib- kcts and welded the sabrcs agai'
cir these supporters of the Union.
in nhis one act there is sufficient
nal swer to those who say it is safe
- trust to Tildcn; for were Tn
'"- loving Democrats, able and will
try to control that party, those oili
our might and would have been fiji
Ter. by men who had stood by tl
