The methods of action Of the two men
are as opposite as their principles.
Hayes believes that sense Of right and
a love of justice sways the majority Of
mankind, and hence that to control them
we must convince their reason. Tilden
assumes that interest and passion move
the majority, that money is the great
motor, trickery the engine, deception
the tender, and hatred and malice the
fuel that propel the popular engine.
Hence the unprecedented expenditure of
money by a Presidential candidate, the
evasiveness OF his public utterances, the
cipher dispatches, the secret agents
travelling under assumed names, the at
tempts at bribery, and the tanning the
fast.dying-out fires of civil strife. The
electioneering methods of Tilden receive
further illustration from the ballot-box
frauds Of 1868, for which he was held
personally responsible by men of charac-
ter and standing. Hayes method Of
electioneering is to live an upright priv
ate and public life, to think and act up
to the best thought and light of to-day,
to build up the best character that he
can, and then let that and his deeds
plead his cause. This method of honor
and truth renders unnecessary cipher
kilograms, secret circulars or conferences,
many named agents, money in barrels or
on draft, or appeals to the lingering dis
loyalty of the land.
In the course of these two candidates
we have had fair test of the compare.
tive worth of honesty and craft in con.
test for the Presidency. Craft will gain
points at the outset; honesty will gain
honors and rewards at the end. Craft
may be so cunning as to deceive for a
time the very elect; honesty cannot be so
guileless as to give the victor's crown to
any but the veritably elected. Craft
crops out too much and too soon to mis-.
lead the wary. Honesty bears fruit in
time to make known to the wise the
quality of the tree. Craft seldom wins
success in the present and never in the
future. Uprightness generally attains
the highest success, and, what is better,
always deserves it. The Vaccinations
of Tilden, the politician, have not proved
a match for the simple adherence to duty
of Hayes, the unselfsh soldier and up
right citizen. Let aspiring men learn
this easy, though paradoxical, lesson
that the way to reach the Presidency is
never to seek it; and the way to lose it
is to scheme and plot for it, after the
manner of the trading politicians.-N

President Hayes Policy.

During the discussion in the House of
Representatives on the objection to the
decision of the Electoral Commission in
the Louisiana case, MIR. Foster, of Ohio,
who represents the district in which Gov.
Hayes lives, spoke OF the duty of both
parties to abide by the decision of the
Electoral Commission, and said:
This is not time for mere party ex-
ultation. The exultation of the patriot
over the nations escape from the dan.
gers that threatened its peace, prosperi-
ty and happiness is fitting and proper.
In the triumph of peace over disorder
and possible civil war both parties can
unite in exultation. While do not re.
joice simply in party sense, do re.
jOice that one of the purest and most
patriotic of our fcllOw-c citizens is to
guide the affairs of this Government for
four years to come. Representing, as l
do, the district in which Gov. Hayes re-
sides, and being lifelong acquaintance
of his, but speak the opinion of all per
sons who know him, when | say that his
administration will be wise, patriotic
and just. Notwithstanding whatever
else may be said to the contrary here or
elsewhere, the people of all sections of
the country may confidently expect from
him not only fair but generous consider
alton. His letter of acceptance is the
expression of man of the broadest and
loftiest patriotism. l feel certain that
shall be sustained by his acts when !
say that his highest ambition will be to
administer the Government so patriot
ically and wisely as to wipe away every
necessity or excuse for the formation of
parties on sectional basis, and all
traces of party color-lines, that thereaft,
er and forever we shall hear no more of
a solid South or united North; the flag
shall float over States, not provinces,
over freemen, not subjects. When Gov.
Hayes appealed to the people of the
South in his letter of acceptance he ad-
dressed them as My cOuntrymen,' and
why not his cOuntrymeni Are not the
Southern States the equal of those in the
North, East or West, and is not the
South an integral part of the nation! 1t
has been said, sneeringly, and for the
purpose of stirring the wild passions of
the human heart to bad actions, that the
South under President Hayes must sub
nit to an unconditional surrender to the
Republican party sNo, sir. No such
demand will be made. All that will be
expected is the patriotic co operation OF
Southern patriots in the great work OF

Not proven. That was the verdict.
John Westmacott, there was good rea-
son to believe, had been murdered, and
by Thomas Mildmay. The two young
men had quilted the rectory together,
each bound for the village. Only one,
however, Thomas Mildmay, had arrived
at the inn, his clothes in disorder, his
manner agitated, his shirt-front blood
stained. The next morning John West.
macott was missing.
Search was made, and not only indi-
cations of severe struggle were dis
covered on the left bank OF the river, but
also the impress Of mans body in the
snow, and sprig of holly, a gold seal,
and cane, all of which were John West
macott's property But the body of John
Westmacott was absent.
On being arrested, Thomas Mildmay
confessed that he and John Westmacott
had fought by the bridge-upon what
matter he refused to state. But he de-
clared that the impress on the snow was
his own; that he had been struck down
insensible by his opponent; that, on re.
covering, he had found himself alone,
and, fearing to alarm the inmates of the
rectory, had gone to the inn.
Some believed his story. May did
from her heart. Nevertheless, circum-
stantial evidence was against him. On
such night, the body of a man thrown
into the river would have been whirled
down to and lost in the ocean like wisp
of straw.
Still, as nobody could be found, the
direct proof of murder was wanting the
Scotch jury brought in Not Proven,
and, with the brand of Cain on his fore
head, which only the appearance of John
Westmacott in life could remove, the ac-
cused was released, condemned mutely,
if not openly, by the public voice.
"Then what do you think has become

hearing Thomas Mildmay's recital of the
quarrel.
