The people Of the United States, act
ing under the constitution and laws of the
country. held an election last November. at
which Rutherford B. Hayes was chosen pres
ident of the United States for the term OF
four years beginning on the 4th of March.
This election was an act Of sovereignty
which gives Gov, Hayes the absolute right
to the office-ROck Island Union, FEB. q.
The people did not elect Hayes, and
all honest men know they did not. They
elected Tilden and it is be who has the
absolute right to the office But the Demo
cratic party seems to be in a situation
similar to that of an unarmed man who is
met on the highway by ruffian and rob-
Der who is armed, and points his gun at
the unarmed man and orders him to give
up his money. The only alternative is to
be robbed or engage in "a desperate fight.
The Republicans have a gun (the army
and navy with a supple tool (Sherman)
to use it. That is the whole case. The
people are to be robbed and all honest
men know it.

A Brief History of the Late Charlie
Gray.
Mr.. John Gray, of Olean, Cattaraugus
county, N. Y, who recently arrived in
this vicinity claiming to be a twin brother
of the late Charlie Gray, has filed a paper
in the county clerks Office containing
brief history of the Gray family, anG the
following is synopsis of it's contents,
which is probably correct, viz: "a
Charles Gray, senior, was married to
Polly Ellithorp aud they lived together
until 1929, when the wife died at Freeden,
Cattaraugus county, n. Y, leaving five
children, viz Sally, aged about Is years;
Aurilla, aged years: Charles and John
twins aged s years, and Saml aged

The paper then states that the only liv-

| This is the pith of all that is contained
in the paper, but from what Mr.. John

age, commenced to learn the wagon-mak-
ing trade in Olean that he worked there
short time aud then went to Erie, Pa.
where he worked at the same business
until be was about II years Of age, when
he left for the west; that he supposed
Charlie lived 10 this vicinity, but as none
of the family had ever heard from him ID
many years they did not know what had be
come him--but still supposed he was alive
and living in this vicinity. The news OF
his death he got from the article copied
from THE ARGUS as previously stated.
