These. are not all the charges made
against Mr.. :TIden's- record and char
acter, nor are they alliwhich are en-
titled to belief They are simply
those which stand on such unquestion-
ed evidence as would sustain them in
a court Of law, and must, therefore sug-
tain them before a court of the peo-
ple. And ii is this man who comes
before us in the character of a REFORM
er-who unblushingly asserts before
the American people the necessity of
his election as the sole means of re-
forming the service of the country5and
putting an end to public corruption.
A more terrible indictment was never
sustained against public man in the
history Of politics than is hereby pres
ented against this unblushing hypo-
crite who thus asserts the villiany of
others and proclaim the purity Of him
self. So much for Tilden it is enough
to keep him out Of the White House,
or at least it ought to be- a. s
And here it is proper to notice
two things, peculiarities in the history
of Mr.. Hayes: First, he was never
known to solicit an Office ora promo
ton, great OF small, in his life Sec,
ond-In all the Offices he has held,
whether civil or military he has new
er failed not even through accident,
to perform his duty with fidelity, wis
dom and success. e.~
Now Mr.. Democrat, what do you
think of this? Maybe you are ready .
to exclaim s-.ts
LUCKY MAN!
Call it what you will if this sue
cess is the result Of good luck, be it so;
we want lucky man for President;
if it is the result of wisdom, be it so;
we want q wise man for President if
it is the resuItof an overruling Provi-
dence, be it so we want chosen in
strument Of heaven for President.
There's divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough hcw them how he will
We will work with Providence
and get Hayes and Wheeler elected
next November. in spite Of Democrat"
and all that are AGAINST us. @H ir-
