II is not surprising that GRANT has de
termined to take HAYES up bodily and
force him intj the Presidential chair
This disregard sof laws and courts AMI
constitutions rights is simply char actsr-
istic "f the man, especially when, as Of
late, he has been too freely induig.n his
appetite for strong drinks.
As 10 who is of right President elec'
GRANT probably knows as much as the
Intelligent reader of the newspapers; he
certainly knows no more His determi-
na'i'n is based upon no exclusive infor-
nation, but upon the fact that he is in
position where he can exercise arbitrary
power to carry out his lie ,igns
But il is little surprising, and il is the
worst sign Of the evil tirn,s upon which
we have fallen, that so many OF the bet
ter class of Republicans sh ald give evil
dence that they intend to support this ar
birary exercise Of power.
There is certainly too much reason for
believing that it is the settled purpose tu
force upon the majority of those who
voted in the Presidential election the al
tentative of suffering themselves to be
overthrown by the minority, or Of main.
tanning their rights by violence. = .
The leaders in this highhsndsd design
for breaking down the system Of electins
officers by the people are. encouraged By
such pretended "indepentfent" papers al
the Tribume. saying. "Oh the Democrats
are too cowardly to resist, You can
kick them into fight I" $. 777
We do not believe the Democrats will
fight not because they are 400 coward
! ly," but because they are patriotic enougl
to suffer temporary wrong rather desc
late the country by war. The Tribun
and its clan believe this asfirmly as W
do; aud This is exactly what they rel,
upon for immunity in seizing the govern
