The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-01-12


The country has passed through fierce pres
identlal contest, and the result has been left in
a dangerous and unsatisfactory shape. on &C
count of the unprecedented closeness OF the
election the angry disputes as to the votes of
certain States. and the failure OF the Constitu-
ton to provide any tribunal to solve doubts or
decide contested points.
GOV. HAYES ELECTED.
From the light before il TIE TRIBLxE be-
leves that Hayes has received 1876 Electoral
votes against Isl for Tilden, and is therefore
entitled to be inaugurated President on the 4th
OF March, 1877. The highest good Of the South
as well as the North would be best promoted
by his occupancy OF the Executive Chair.
DANGER OF ANOTHER WAR.
But there are grave apprehensions thai a
rufianly, ravenous crowd OF oflice-seekers may
resort to lawless and violent means to induct
the defeated candidate into the Office of Chief
Magistrate. All peace loving and law abiding
men, irrespective of party, must stand together
in this crisis, and crush out the incendiary DEM
agogues who are threatening to light the torch
OF internecine war. which would bring ruin and
destruction upon the country.
The coming year promises TO be the most
eventful and exciting Of any since the War
The TRIBUNE will do everything in Its power to
have the new President peacefully and lawfully
lnaugurated, and to restore harmony and con-
fdence In the future. Let us never despair Of
the Republic.
REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER.
While THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is a Republican
newspaper, and contributed as much as any
other in the L nited States to the success Of its
party, 1t is always independent and fearless in
the expression OF It's views, and aims to be
right rather than partisan; and while holding
party high it holds the country higher.
