The idea OF any Democrat in Con-
gress selling out to Hayes is so prepos-
ferrous that it does not deserve the
prominence that has been given it,
The South has no bargain or compro-
mise TO make with Hayes, and his ef
ssarts - F-,.rehaSs-the South is as cor
rupt as the murderer who would tamper
with the jury. The Southern people,
urder no circumstances, will indor>e

Sooner or later the questions with
which the country is confronted must
be met and answered. They may as
Nell be met and answered now. That
is not only the most courageous way.
but it also Is the safest way. Ii would
establish Il dangerous precedent to De
eide that whenever there has been an
election, we may say, for political or
other reasons, that there has not been
au election, and 50 proceed to hold
another. The more the scheme Is con
sidered the more Objectionable it APP
pears to be. So fatal are the ohjec
tions that we do not believe that the
leaders Of either party will take the
responsibility Of proposing the plan
seriously.-New York Post.
Mr. George William Curtis believes
that Mr.. Hayes will decline the presi
dency unless he is convinced that he
has been fairly and legally elected. al
in case Of his election" says MIR. Cur
It's. anybody should claim to have
put him through, we are very much
in error if Mr. Hayes do not point out
to him his mistake" This is the kind
of illusion that comes from guieless
and unrehectipg faith. L Mr.. Hayes
is inaugurated. it will be because Zach
Chandler and Don Cameron and Jay
Gould have put him through" And
if Hayes accepts the presidency and
refuses to recognize the ciaimS OF these
three men, he will be adding ingrati
tude to dishonesty.-New York SUI.
The Democracy do not propose to
fight over this presidential question; on
the contrary, they are determined to
use all honorable means within their
power to prevent resort to the arbi
trament of the sword; but when it shall

~ it already has been to all honest
mon, that Mr.. Tilden has been fairly
aud legally elected president, the

The New York Tribune is inclined
to admit the futili,y OF trying to keep
up fraudulent Republican govern
