There is no Disgusting the fact that
the result of the late election has left
a most disagreeable mark on our po-
litical record which thoughtful Amer
leans must long continue to regard
with uncomfortable concern, ii not
with apprehension. Apart from this,
however there is little difference III
the effect to the common people out
side the politicians, who have personal
interests at stake, between JACOB
Hayes and Esau Tilden. Both are du-
tiful servants of the same demoniac
power: they are virtually moved by
the same instincts; both kneel devout-
ly low to the same GOLDEN CALF.
whose uncontrolled influenced blight
ing civilization, and whose unbridled
sway is reducing the great body OF the
people to hopeless poverty.
In the late election the sly Cypress
ors of the people played their cards so
skillfully that. whichever side
succeeded, they at least were sure to
come off the winners: both the cham
pions belonged to them. and each side
played their game safely enough: both
were the priests of the golden calf :
and against any other both would
combine if needed. One year before,
and they were all united to crush
the democracy of Ohio, who with the
venerable William Allen at their head
had the objectionable audacity to de-
clare before the world that gold IS not
God. For this daring heresy they
were assailed by all the organs of
MammOn in America, who. for their
common cause, quickly buried all 9TH

Tilden and against Hayes-in the year

against Gov. Allen and the devoted
Democrats of Ohio-all because these
had the bold presumption to assert

rid themselves of its bondage: that it
