taxes--in order to creF,te immense cor
ruption funds to frussate the people,
will, they now profess:$o be the champ
ions Of civil service reform. Having
imposed upon the Southern States the
rapacity, fraud and plunder Of the
carpet-bas governments, having al
most ruined the prosperity Of the NORTH
by destroying the prosperity of the
South, having created. terror, uncer-
tainty and confusion in all the produc-
tive industries of the S;uth, which fur
nish most Of the exports OF our whole
country, keep in motioa the commerce
and manufactures of She North and
East, and furnish maSket for the ag-
r;cultural products of The West, they
now purpose, by renewH Il of the same
fatal policy, to prolong sheir own pow
er in the hope of concesling their mis-
deeds, and for this purpose they do
not hesitate to renew tile cry of intol-
erance; to revive the dting memories
Of fraternal strife, and TO appeal to the
fears and prejudices of .the timid and
the ignorant.
Fellow Citizens: Thsse men and
their measures have besn completely
tried and have completely failed. An
oppressive taxation, IA exhausted
South, an impoverished North, fuc
tuating currency, the enterprise of an
industrious people lockesl fast in the
paralysis of hard timest-such is the
outcome Of their politica. policy, such
are the ACHIEVEMENTS of tkeir long su-
premacy. Your ballots n November
can alone dictate chanea Of measures
and change Of men. Shall not the
uprising of patriotism aisng the val
ley of the Ohio go on t.. a complete
and beneficial revolution il the admin
istration of the government of the
United States? J:
Will you not, by the vfice of over
whelming majorities at tile polls, pro-
claim your invincible faith, after all
these years of corruption and passion,
in the high immortal principles of gov
ernment by the people forithe people,
in simple honesty and stri ipt economy,
as the supreme wisdom of public pol
icy, in justice as the mother of power,
and in civil freedom as the be-all and
the end-all of a true Republican ma
Will you not build up new pros
perity for all the people on the old
of American self-govern-
meat, on peace, reconciliation and fra
ternity between all sections, all classes
and all races embraced within our sys-
tenn of American commonwealths; on
frugality and economy in all govern
ments; on honesty and purity of ad-
and having lost your
prosperity through governmental mis-
rule, regain that prosperity through
governmental reform? We commit
this great issue to the intelligence and
of the American people,
with an unfaltering trust in The wisdom
and justice of their decision.

TIE AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Is GOV. HAYES A MEMBER ?-DoeUMENTs TO
PROVE THIs-GENU1NE CAMPAIGN RUsE?
From the Neac York He,ald.
We have received, and publish below,
an extraordinary campaign document
from Mr.. Pelton, Secretary cf the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. AS will
be seen, it assumes to give iSefragable
proof of Governor Hayes Y connection
with, and endorsement of, ths American
National Alliance, an organization op-
posed to foreigners and "ddawn on the
Pope" Governor Hayes, it ==:vill be re-
repudiated all connection
with the order not long ngo, when
accused him of wliting let
ter indorsing its principles and aims.
This campaign document, how ever, sup
plies what purports to be Sac simile
of letter of endorsement authorized
by Governor Hayes, and gives day and
date to prove its genuinenkss. The
Herald is not a partisan payer, but it
gives the campaign news as itscomes up
for what it is worth. We gave been
furnished with nice plate St the fac
simile of the: letter, but We hare no room
for it in that shape. We giyss' the text
of the letter and the queer statements
accompanying it, without vohching for
their reliability. +
