Returning Board Hayes.

Governor for the State of Louisiana
then Hayes has no title to the offic
of President. "-James G Blaine
This is fair way to state the ques
ton and the answer is found in thu
votes cast by the people of Louisiana
Nov. 7, 1876.
"Am | peer or a vassal. - Wells
1t is impossible for Hayes, Blaine
Chandler, Morton, Sherman ant
Cameron, or Bradley, Edmunds an(
Wheeler to diyest themselves of tn,
equality Of Wells and to say he is no
their peer Wells is as honest ant
stands before the American people
entitled to the same respect as his co
workers above named, and as Hayes
accepts the stolen goods from thei,
hands. Hayes knows he was defeated
and that Tildcn was elected, and there
stands the record Of this in the House
of Representatives. Hayes knows
this, but still he passes on in the night
time through Ohio and Pennsylvania
and arrives at the Capitol Of the Ma
ton in the open day and is only re-
ceived by few negroes, and com
PEELED to pay his fare from the depot
to the White House-a jdst tribute to
thief with stolen goods upon his
back. Chief Justice Waite consider
ed it necessary to administer the oath
to him twice, an oath which ought to
be held sacred and revered by all
people III this land. r. b. Hayes
took the oath and in that act he is
guilty Of perjury in all moral essen.i-
ais. He knew he had no right to re-
celve it, and Justice Waite may ad-
minister it to r. B. Hayes twice every
month, but he will only be de jacto
never de .j,n'ie President. 1t is an
acknowledgment of his usurpalion of
the office he is now disgracing, that
he refused Wells admittance to the
White House on his release from
prison, where he had suffered for his
contempt, and iii obeying the orders
of Zach Chandler q Co., to the end
that corruption, perjury, forgery and
dead mems names to afidavits
in the Custom House in New Orleans,
should make r. B. Hayes peer with
them. In Mr.. Hayes address deliver
ed March 9th in Washington, is this
full sentence, "The President of the
United States OF necessity o,ces his
election to office to the sutfrages and

ton Now can Hayes be a leader or
have any influence in Office and dis
regard his obligation TO those he owes
his election ? MOTOR all history
points to the fact that traitor is
lispised by all men. If Hayes denies
he election of Packard, Chamberlain,
Or Kellogg, he denies his own, and
hereby would acknowledge himself a
as he in fact Is. If Governor
Drew of Florida has any right to be
Governor of his State, Tilden has the
anne legal right to be President
These are facts which no returning
BOARD can alter the people in this
country perfectly we'll understand tins,
md so does all Europe. These frauds
nd perjuries will attach to the enac-
ors Of them. History will write the
James Of 10. Bradley, r. B. Hayes
nd J. NJ. Wells, as peers, on all equal
ooting. Wells is not a vassal but q
'eer. Politically, James G, Blaine, in
lis late speech in the Senate, took the
light ground, for it was the ground
lpon which he and his party stands.

cabinet when Morton, Garfield, Blaine,
nd Ben. Butler are to lead the way9
No, there never can be any harmony
a such Cabinet as Hayes has nomi-
lated. The Democrats in the Senate
an do themselves no credit nor the
Democratic party IN the country by
lelping a usurper to add relationship
o his own party.
If Hayes does adopt his pretended
