That we have been defrauded of
a Democratic President is a thing
which may naturally move Democrats
to indignation, but the President Of
the United States is not the Govern
ment of the United States and there
is nothing whatever to excuse the
Democrats, who went into this con-
test with wide national objects in
view, tor forgetting that the people
Of the whole country have Endorsed
the position of the Democratic party
by decisive majority, and that the
Democratic members in the two hous-

err in their hands to enforce respect
for the Constitution and the laws

Democrats do not ask, or expect,
appointments from Mr.. Hayes their
opponents hold nearly every place OF
honor or profit under the General
Government and will continue to mo-
nopolize them; there are to be no re-
movals except in cases Of incapaclty
or fraud, and then vacancies will be
filled by Republicans. This course
will be followed, also, where commits
sions expire. To this Democrats pa
tiently submit, thus seeing the tavols
of the Administration conferred almost
entirely upon citizens representing a
minority Of the people; but Demo
Gratis do ask the restoration OF peace
in the South and to have State Gov
ernments organized there under con,
stitutional law in place OF military
diclatlon. Withdraw the bayonets

This has been promised; it Is what

quired, and it Is what they demand at

true to his duty he will act decidedly
and promptly, regardless Of those who
