's(Mass.) Republican.
Mr.. Abe Hewitt, has been here. and it
IS said that Mr.. Tilden has put his foot on
heap of'rubbish in the shape Of plans
for holding indignation meetings and
trying to bully Congress by political
demonstrations. He is too cool headed
and cautious to run the risk Of touching
of gun that may kick him over; and
this is blundcrbuss that would he likely
to do more execution ut the breech than
at the mnzzle. Mr. Tilden does not talk
since Grant has embarked IN the business.
But, thy :Aer day, he said in substance to
q gems ..an who keeps his name out Of
the ne:y,,aocrs, that he believed he was
fairly AZ f'onorably elected to the Presi-
dency; tina, if the negroes in any South
ern State had been prevented from voting
for Hayes or forced to vote for him by
violent means lie should he very sorry,
but no such violence had been proved {;
that if the negroes stampedcd from the
carpet bag rule and voted the conservative
ticket because they had been deceived
and were tired of Republican misgovern.
ment, or because Democratic planters
promised them good times and better
wages, there is no valid ground for com.
plant; that lie could much better afford
to be counted out than Hayes could afford
to he counted in that he wanted no resort
10 strategy and n" appeal to passions, for
lie believed in the people, and would trust
his case with them. If the Republicans
commit the outrage it is said they are
planning, they will sign the drath-war-
rant OF their party. But some OF his best
friends think, ii Hayes is counted in ill.,
den will appeal to the Supreme Court.
