OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


Halstead aud Other Republican cone plr-
ators are Just now praislng the "mOder-
alton and wisdom OF tha South Caroli-
naipeople, who they say have determined
10 stand by Hayes. The way the south
Carolina people feel about standing BY
Hayes, or selling out to him, II thus
shown BY the Charleston News aud
Courier; s'1o sell out 10 the people
who have made South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana whnt they are to the
people who maintain, by force OF arms.
an usurping government In two South
ern States, and fain would do the same
in third; TO the people who keep tho
country in turmoil who make the Con-
stltution and laws dead-letter, and
who, in all they do, seek the aggran-
dizement OF apolltical party rather than
the good OF the republic. There will
be no selling ouaby Southern Congress
men. The South nlay be sold out, but
will not sell out. That Is surel"
The "intelligent" vote OF the country
was given to Hayes, was itg Letus see.
The four Northern States which cast
their vote for Tildcn-Connectlcut, New
York, New Jersey, and lndiana--con-
tain ,409,506 white male ADULTS; NUM-

l.white male adults; number Of illltorate,
1926, or @ per cent. The most denaely
illiterate of the Northern States it win
be perceived voted for Hayes.
A dismal complaint goes forth from
tho Hayes organs as the day for Mr. Til
den's Inauguration draws near. They
profess 10 be terribly anxious about tho
"poor black mau" Ia the South, the Re
publicans who Will be stangled by
| President Tilden's orders, ETC., etc.
The true cause Of this waillng over tho
inevitable death OF Grants carpet-bag
monstrosity Ia the prospective loss OF
"good stealing.H The Republican
thieves have robbed the southern States
of $203, 3,50O,74s 6S since tho close OF the
war, and would like very much TO con-
tinue IN the business. That they viii not
be permitted TO do.
The Louisiana Returning Board de-
| liberately threw out 5000 or 1000 Demo-
cratic votes from the face OF the Repub-
lican supervisors returns and manniae-
tured majority OF 1000 for Hayes, who
greedily accepts the fraud and declares
II am honestly electcd,n To conceal all
written evidence OF their crime, Wells
confosses that no minutes were taken
during the secret session, when tho
board was acting Ia It's assumed judi

the people never was perpetrated.
It was Senator Shcrman's voice which
was lifted up the londest last year In be-
half Of an increase Of the arm ITO fight
the Indians and defend the exposed set
tiers of the frontier" The army was
not reduced as proposed, but Increased,
aud the Republican c0nspiratOrs then
sent regiment after regiment not to hght
tho Indians, but 10 perform the treasona-
Bile office OF making war on several states
OF the Union. Senator Sherman, like
Morton, Is rs constituencies as the devil

/ II the Republican consplrators are al
lowed by the people 10 defraud them OF
their constitutional rights, and 10 carry
out the announced purpose OF inaugn-
rating defeated candidate for tie pres
ldoncy, they VIII have no right Ia the
future 20 complain OF the pollution and
tyranny which Will inevitably clarlc-
terize the lease Of Radical power. Tho
cancer must be cut out Of the body poll
tic now or never. IL the Infamous
scoundrels succeed now, there Il an end
of all law and decency.
Under a "republican form Of govern
ment" Il IL generally believed that peo-
pie have the privileges OF electing their
own rulers. Under the ruling Of tho
Republican party, republican form
of government" Il one where the people
only name candidates, aud two or three
partisans meet together In secret and DO
eide which of these candidates, shall DO

publican Returning board system In
nutshell. Is it a "republloan foru or

A man who has received the votes OF
