TERRIBLE DENUNcIATIoN OF

Tho GAZETTE re8arueu Jne olectlou as
decisive In, favor of Mr.. Tilden. We hon
estly believed Mr.. Tilden the President
elect, an did the great mass OF all honest
peoples Even Ckpt. Gallagher, OF this city,
as rigid a partisan as the Republican has
mong its subscribers, held that opinion
and openly asserted it everywhere; before
the meeting OF the Electoral Commission.
But the New York Times from the first
maintained the fraud and upheld ]. Madison
Wells, W, e. Chandler, John Sherman,
q. 3. Grant and other rascals in their de-
termination to cheat the people out OF their
choice. And they succeeded. Mr.. Hayes,
suffered himself to be made tool OF to be-
come President. Had he, like Clay, ex-
claimed, 81 would rather be right than
be President" and refused TO accept the aid
OF the scoundrels of the Republican press
and other high officials, he would have
shown himself to have been one OF the
most worthy men OF the nation. But he
gave way TO the persuasive allurements of
Stanley Matthews, Zach Chandler, OeP.
Norton, and other scandalously corrupt
and purchaseable men, and took from Mr.
Tilden, by means of Joe Bradley's tricks of
eight to seren, what was another's, and what
the people had refused him and thus fell
into the trap. -.N -....'. '.r..
Fortunately for the country Mr.. Hayes
is better man than the politicians thought
him TO be, and after he was inducted into
office, (and he may have been deluded into
believing he was elected) concluded that
he could not follow the path laid down for
him by these men who knew that he was
not elected. However this may be he aban-
doned the policy that had been used by the
Republican politicians to terrorize the
country and keep itin daily dread of the re-
opening of civil war, and adopted the
Democratic policy of freeing the people
from terrorism aud harmonlzing the sec.
lions, and as result we find the whole
vast country at peace and ready to enter
upon one of the most prosperous futures
that could be presented.
And for pursuing policy OF this kind he
isdenounced by the Republican of this city
and other kindred papers that have lived
upon the negro and negroism for years.
We ARE not of Mr.. Hayes party, but we
cannot stand by and see the worst class {.
politicians endeavorieg TO delu ie the peo
pie into the opinion that Mr. Hayes is re-
can party when 1t is so obvious that that
party had become so corrupt and rotten
thatitfell to pieces itselfas soon as the muir
ders by by Federal officers, (milltary and
civil,) the robbery oppression and rascality
upon which 1t was sustained were sus-
pended. AS q, christian man Mr.. HAYES
could not pursue the course laid down for
him, that aggrandizement should continue

cause he refused to do this he now suffers
