HAYES AS THE OUTGRowrH OF

power are now working with might and
nain to obtain for their fraudulent presi-
dent the unanimous Endorsement OF the
American people. To accomplish this they
will be as indefatigable in their labors
they were to plan and perfect the damnable
schemes by which they succeeded in
swindling the American people out of their
victory obtained at the ballot-box.
last November. From this time forward all
that can be accomplished by consummate
strategy, unblushIng hypocrisy, and by cold
and calculating lying will be done. Every
petty act of the presidential fraud that is
directly or remotely in harmony with jus
tice will be seized upon with avidity and
made to obscure some infamous act in the
programme of crime by which
Hayes was forced upon the peo-
pie contrary to their declared will.
The declaration will be made that Hayes is
not responsible for the frauds and crimes
committed in South Carolina, Florida, LOU
isiana and California. They will repeat with
increasing emphasis that the electoral COM
mission by its acts and decisions white
washed Hayes and relieved him of the
stigma of fraud. This however, is false,
and, il possible more Infamous than the
perjuries that have brought the re-
turning board into notoriety more
guillotine when Robespierre used it to
hush the voice of opponents to his reign of
murder. The electoral commission was only
a second edition of the returning board. The
first, mapped out the course of fraud; the
second adopted it. The first. by perjuries
such as never before blackened any record
in Christian land, revoked the will of the
people; the second placed upon them the
stamp of Endorsement and made them the
passports of Hayes to the white house.
K. B. Hayes, as president, viewed from
any standpoint high or low is an outgrowth
of fraud. His credentials bear upon their
face evidences of every crime that in the
past have been used to overthrow liberty.
He is creature of military despotism exer-
cised by Grant. Fair minded men, at all
conversant with the facts, would be COM
PEELED under oath to swear it or
damn their souls with perjury. In
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
troops were stationed to aid
conspirators in carrying out their plans.
Such is authentic history He is the crea-
ture of multiplied violations of law. This
he knows. The records of the count in four
states proclaim the fact. He is the creature
of lies, of all grades, from the statements
of the beggarly crew who lie by instinct, to
the plotting scoundrel who perjures
himself for money or its equivalent
creatures like J. Madison Wells and
his returning board confederates.
who do not hesitate to make
presidents for consideration, and are ready
to barter soul and country for pelf That
these crimes made r. B. Hayes president is
truth as automatic as any known to mathe-
MATES, and as firmly fixed in the minds of
the American people as any in the entire
realm of verify. They constitute r. B.
Hayes as president the outgrowth of fraud.
He is a monster from the slime OF radical
ism, possibility of radical pollutions of the
fountains Of truth and virtue.
The radi al theory now is: Fraud has
triumphed, therefore cease denouncing 1t.
Perjury has throttled truth in the capital of
the nation; applaud it. A thief is enjoying
stolen property; confirm his title. The
stencil of radical fraud poisons the air; make
no effort to disinfect the government.
The sickening effluvia of radical rot
tenness is spreading over the country;
make no efforts to close the cesspools. The
malarial poison of radicalism exudes from
every pore of its loathsome organism; make
no effort to neutralize its whitening influ-
ence-such is the theory of conspirators,
and it is of vital importance to the
existence of radicalism that it should
be approved by the democratic party and by
honest men of all parties. Hayes talks of
wiping out the 'color line" but he is vastly
more interested in wiping out forever the
line that Jehovah has drawn, dividing truth
from perjury and integrity from fraud.
He may succeed by the use of military force
in obscuring the 'color line" He may and
doubtless will humble at the feet of the
African the proud Caucasian. Having
Mexicanized the government to the extent
of obtaining Office by fraud he may, under
the plea of universal education" be able
to carry out his policy and mingle white and
black blood, wool and hair, until the tallest
archangel that adores and burns around
the eternal throne will be unable to deter
mine which is which. But he will not be
able to wipe out the other lines any more
than he will be able to convince the world
tina; he is not presidential fraud.
There is to the rejecting mind something
