abuse is 50 easily applied and 50 generally de-
manded, that we have no fears for the future Of
Louisiana and South Carolina. 10 his treatment
OF the currency question, much will depend
upon the new Presidents selection Of Secretary
Of the Treasury. If he calls TO that important
Office a man ignorant of the question or of uu-
decided opinions, or who looks upon Office and
it's patronage as Q steppingstone to the Presi-
dency, he will find such an appointment an obsta-
Gle hardly surmountable IN the way Of currency
reform. We therefore trust that be will select
for this post a man who viii sacrifice political
ambition 10 the service of the country, and who
will have knowledge and viii enough to devise
and to carry out plans for the early resumption
of specie payments. Bot in all he does we urge
the president TO have confidence In the people
they will support him in all honest and courage
Gus actions. The public sentiment of this coun-
try is always higher than the expressions it finds
through the party press and politicians, Timidity
is the vice Of these organs. They are perpet-
ually calculating upon the effect of measures of
policy, not on the country, but on their party.
Let President Hayes act faithfully to the pro-
misses made and the policy which he announced
in his letter Of acceptance, and he will gather
around him the ardent support Of the most
thoughtful and most intelligent part Of the ma
ton, and will win the gratitude of the country.
THE CHICAGO '' BULLDosER" Walls.
CHICAGO, March 3.-The Times, in its editorial
speaking of the election of Hayes, says 4" The
prog vi IttOluliOu ii COL p1lsucO. fOE
the first time in the history of America an cleo
tive monarch has been appointed by an open,
monstrous fraud upon the constituted mode Of
election for the first time since this pretentious
republic came into existence a candidate for the
Executive Office, who failed to receive the appro-
baton of even a plurality Of the body polite,
has been set UP in that Office by conniyance and
intrigue and reasonable disobedienee OF the law
by a revolutionary minority. For this revolu-
tionary reversal of the nations decision, this
usurpation of the Executive Government by fraud
and crime, the people have to blame, not the
reasonable conspirators, whose passive tool was
the man Hayes so much as the imbecile and trust
less political hucksters composing the chiefs of
the spoils ring called a Democratic PARTICLES
trustworthy demagogues, more treacherous poll
teal knaves than Morton, Chandler, Cameron,
Sherman, Bradley and other revolutionary con-
spirators to set up q President by fraud-as
have Bayard, Thurman, Herman, Randall, Fer
nando Wood, Hewitt, Ben Hill, Lamar and the
rest of Morton's Democratic Lieutenants proved
themselves to be. To plot treason against right
may be the part of great Williams, but for men
claiming to represent an outraged people to fall
into and carry out the plot is the part of scoun-
dreligm. The case stands alone, wholly without
a precedent, unparalel in iniquity and unap-
preached in revolutionary lawiessness by any
other event in American history" After COM
menting at length as to who will probably be
the members Of Hayes cabinet, the Times con-
cludes " Ohio has the Presidency, Chief Justice
ship, General and Lieutenant of the Army, and
still cries for more. . --.4ast
Sherman must go into the Treasury or there'Ii
be q row. 1t is altogether likely that the State will
soon be depopulated. Let Hayes pause before
he recognizes Nichols as Governor of Louisiana.
Were not Nichols and all his followers bulldosers2
And the poor negro-what will become of him
Wheeler always was in favor of Union Pacific
policy, and will readily fall into line on Hayes
and Tom Scott's Southern Pacific idea. If Hayes
wants a f~irst-class Postmaster General let him
send for Macarthur. Business will now please get
up and revive, according to promises. The tie
that binds-the Southern Pacific Railroad tie.
Barney's last days were his best.
THE CHICAGO &" TRIBUNE " SAYS HAYES TITLE IS
tf;s1t FULL AND COMPLETE.
CHICAGO, March 1.-The Tribune says: HAYES
will become President of the United States peace
fully and honorably. The present cry of Fraud
fraud" suggested by rage, will not last long, for
it has not a basis. The Commission decided ac-
cording to law, as it was bound to do, and it was
empowered by Congress to give a full, clear and
honest title to the Presidency. The case, on its
merits, turned on Louisiana. Had the Commits
sion been authorized to scrutinize the popular
vote of Louisiana, it would have been months be-
Commission would have defeated the purpose for
which it was created, since a new election would
have been necessary. As it is, the question of
the preponderance of fraud in that State is neces-
sarily an open one, with the advantage on the
Republican side that the Hayes Electoral vote
was awarded by the Returning Board according
to law, after purging the popular vote of the
fraud that had been committed; but it cannot, in
any case, be maintained that Hayes title to the
Presidency is deficient in any essential point.
