The points upon which he sought 10

whether it was true that violence and

on TUESDAY Naturalization Day :
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-08-26

Hayes is lover of books, lover of
men, and lover of his country. His
is the head of noble family and enjoys
all of the blessings of domestic life.
He is in sympathy with the American
people in all of their noble aspirations
Was it not the most natural thing in the
world that such man should, when
traitors fired on Sumter, enlist in defense
of his country? How is it with Tildenf
An insignificant, little, ,dried-upo old bach
elor, who never knows anything of the
enjoyment of family life; who found a
boon companion in Bill Tweed, and
now finds an associate and confederate
in Morrissey; whose energies have been
spent in stuffipg ballot-boxes and in rob-
bing the stockholders of western rail-
roads. Was it not the most natural
thing for such mar, when rebels struck
at the nations life, to sympathize with
them and to aid them in their murder
Gus scheme? And is it not now the
most fitting thing that such man be
the candidate of the Confederates, and
his ill-gotten wealth their sole hope for
a restoration to power?
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-08-26

The present war gives the govern
ment an opportunity to deal in sensi-
BILE, practical manner with the Indian
question, and set it at rest forever.
The Indian should no longer be treated
as a privileged person, he should be
made responsible to the law for his acts,
punished or rewarded according to his
deserts. General Sheridan long ago
asked to have the control of Red Cloud,
Spotted Tail and Standing Rock agen-
cies handed over to the military author
tiles to enable him to deal with the
hostile Sioux, as it is notorious that it is
through these agencies they obtained
the rifles and bullets which killed Gus
ter and his gallant comrads; yet this
reasonable demand has never been at
tended to. 1t has been treated with
contempt by the powerful Indian Ring,
that most corrupt and infamous out
come of our political system.
