canvass on his greenback policy. The can
vass was sharp one. Gov. Hayes spoke in
all parts of the state and was elected. Two
years later he was candidate for reelection
against Mr.. Thurman, the ablest Democrat
in the West if not in the country but after
hot contest Gov Hayes was reelected
Four years later, in 1875, the Republicans of
Ohio, with one voice, called upon Gov.
Hayes to become their standard bearer in
that most important campaign. Ohio was
made the battlefield between the hosts of
resumption and imitation. The country
watched the contest with an interest never
before exhibited in state election when no
congressman were to be elected. Gov.
Hayes early took the stump and advocated
the speedy resumption of specie payments
from one end of the state to the other. Re-
publicans who had learned to believe in the
honesty, worth and sturdy ability of the man
were led by his personal influence to see the
fallacy of the initiation theory, and support
the doctrine of resumption. As the stan
dard-bearer of honest money, he won a vic.
tory, the influence of which was felt all over
the country. On the other hand, Gov. Til
den, who is now declared TO be the foremost
Democrat in the country, has never been in
Congress. In 1868, as chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee, he supported the
National Democratic platform, which de-
clared the recent constitutional amendments
revolutionary, null and void," and that the
national debt should be paid in greenbacks.
As the head of that organization he at
least permitted the perpetration of the
gigantic frauds in New York City
which gave that state to tha Demo-
cratic candidates. He was writing let
tiers to my "dear Tweed'' and using $4,000
checks made by this same Tweed. For what
purpose? In common with the Democratic
leaders of New York he stood by the Tweed
ring until the extent and enormity of its rob.
berry was as clear as noon-day. Then he
Joined the ranks Of its prosecutors. By the
aid of the political machinery which he con-
trolled, he secured the party nomination for
office he began war of messages upon the
canal ring. No one desires to rob him of any
the credit justly his due ON this score. He
began year ago last March. What has been
the result? Three suits nave been brought,
two of which have been tried. One convic-
ton has been obtained, one suit has been
dismissed and one is pending. Not dollar
has been recovered, while his commission
and special attorneys have cost the State
100000. No fraudulent contract has been
stopped. Upon this record and his utter
ances as reformer, he goes before the reo-
pie and his supporters claim that he is
better and greater man than Rutherford B.
Hayes.
Such, briefly, is the public record of the
twn Presidential candidates. 1t is safe to
leave the question of determining which of
the two has shown the highest patriotism and
the clearest appreciation of the duties of an
American citizen to the intelligent voters of
the country.
