compared the action OF tho democrats TO the iamiiar
bargain between the white man and the Indian. the
Will take the owl you will take he owl ana will
take the turkey" Q.augher.) So II the commission
would decide in favor OF rlden, the democrats would
stand faithfully by It, but II IL decided IN
favor of Hayes then they would how and resist. Was
that the way that honorable men discharged pubnc
duties? He referred TO the saying OF Judge Grover
the New York Court of Appeals In reference 10 tho
Ouicry made against the decision of the tho
Tweed case that AIlcghany county where the Judge
lived when man was beaten IN lawsuit and 1t was
understood that there things he could do
