HOW A FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT
SHOULD BE DEALT WITH.

Mr.. Hayes will hold office by reason
OF the success of fraud and perjury; that
this is the case Mr.. Hayes knows full
well himself. Under such circumstances
what is the duty of every man in the
country? 1t is to denounce him as the
receiver OF stolen goods; as the President
OF Returning Boards composed of ras-
Gals and thieves, and as a man utterly
unworthy ofthe respect of the American
people His name will go down to pos
terity as that of the first American who
became President through rascality and
fraud. Thepeople who have been SO foul.
lly wronged will teach their children TO
loath his very name. They will tell them
the story of the great wrong that has been
committed against Constitutional gov
ernment in giving him an office after the
people had elected another to fill it and
that he has consented to accept the stolen
honor.
When he becomes President no man
who loves honesty and fair. dealing OUGHT
to extend to him the amenities of social
lite. He goes into office in way which
gives him no title to the respect of the
people: A man who accepts an office
which ne knows rightfully belongs to an.
otner, is no better than one who takes
property that belongs to another If |
fraud is tolerated in legislative and Judi. |
ciai circles, it will not be by the people, |
and they will ostracise, socially, any man |
VINO puts upon himself stolen robes, |
whether ne be President or private citi. |

use of the army.
Mr.. Tucker-Then the gentleman Of
fers threat?
Mr.. Field addressed the House, and
said that the present question was one of
principle. The supreme moment had

whether or not it would exercise its Con-
stitutional right. To the gentlemen from

prevent him from installing and main
tanning the Packard government.
