Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-06-27
THE MAN FOR THE TIMES.


the Presidency secures the nomination
for this Office ~ for all others which he
has held without any solicitation on his
part: not enough that his private life be
pure and upright and his public record
unassailable; not enough that he be
known as having been thoroughly loyal
during the struggle for tine nations life:
not enough that having fought the enc
mics Of the nation well and honestly
that he is now in favor of peace in all
sections OF the Union and of reconcil-
iation with all. lie must also be in
favor of every measure that tends to
preserve the good already secured. that
tends to restore the faith OF the people
in their institutions. and be such man
as has the resolution to grapple with all
abuses and the moral courage to carry
ont whatever tends to the public good
through the party. if possible, but with
out it if it fail to aid lin, ever regarding
the public welfare as Of infinitely more
importance than any political party.
Ard such a man is Governor Hayes in
the opinion of all men that know him,
whether they be political friends or
political foes. The measures which he
favoIs. and regarding which he has
shown no weakness when others have,
given no uncertain sound when others
talked Of party expediency, are such as
are for the country's good.
NATIONAL UNITY.
He believes the people Of these United
States constitute one nation: that the
National Government in its appropriate
sphere is sovereign and supreme: that
the doctrine of State Sovereignty is con-
trary 10 the Federal Constitution and
should be regarded as forever extinguish-
ed by the results of the late civil con-
'iict And in proof of this he endangered
his life in time Of war, and has put him.
himself on record in his speeches and
messages in time of peace.
RECONCILIATION AND HARMONY.
He believes in reviving and strengthen
ing the brotherhood of the people by q
policy of full reconciliation, mutual con-
Citation and justice, and that 1.-THE per-
manent pacifcation OF the Southern Sec
ton of the Union is to be expected and
attained only when the rights of every
citizen are fully secured.
RESULTS OF THE CIVIL WAR.
He believes in conscieutiously main
tanning the results of the civil war as
constitutionally fixed. and that the prin-
ciples embodied in the recent amend
msnts must be obeyed and ought to b
enforced vigorously. if necessary. while
at the same time all Just causes for dis
content on the part of any class ought to
be removed.
EQUALITY BSroRE TIE LAW.
He believes in the equality OF all citi-
zens before the law. and that all should
be equally protected by the Law, receiv-
ing justice and fair play having secured
to them complete liberty and equal
civil, political and public rights.
NATIONAL OBLIGATIONS.
He believes in paying our national
debts, both principal and interest. when
due; that reputation in all it, FORMS is
trifing with the nations honor, and
crime without one redeeming feature;
that resumption Of specie payment at
the time provided BY the existing law. or
sooner, if possible, is imperatively de-
that al just obligations to pub
lilo creditors and all national pledges
must be fulfilled in letter and in spirit.
He says: THE credit Of a nation de-
ponds on its ability and disposition to
keep its promises. If it fails to keep
them and suffers them TO depreciate its
credit is tainted, and the nation suffers,
its promises becoming worthless.
These measures and such as these Gov. |
srnor Hayes has ever maintained and |
as wise and right. tending alike |
to the nations present welfare and its
future stability. bein: what the best in
erests Of the Republic demand.
