Facts TO be Remembered.

Who nominated RrrnERFoRD b. HAYES
for Presidentl
II was SIMON CAMERON, Dos CAMERON,
Bon MAcKEY and BILL KEMBLE who gave
Mr.. HAYES the vote of Pennsylvania and
rallied around him those elements of the
Republican party whose motto was,
anything to beat BLAINE" BLAINE being
disagreeable to GRANT.
Who Is conducting the canvass and run
ming the machine TO elect RurHERFoRD
B. HAYES? 1t Is ZACH CHANDLER. Dos
CAMERON, and all that school of machine
politicians.
If HAYES should be elected he would
owe his election to those men, rs healready
owes them his nomination.
If he were President would he have the
determination and courage to quarrel with
the party who made him, aud without
whom he would never have been NOM
mated aud never eectedY If he should
engage in such quarrel, could he succeed
In II. and carry through his own purposes
against his party?
The history of JoIIN TYLER and ANDREW
JOHNSON sheds a clear light upon this
problem. without disgrace and ruin, Mr..
HAYES. IL elected President, could never
be anything but representative of Grant
ism and rs such his election would be the
continued disgrace and the aggravated
ruin Of the country.
