public and serve to impsril its future
aims.
If Mr.. Hayes evincs the nerve and
sact of an elavated craftsmanship in an
ngonism to the malicious hatefuIness of
ihe ultra Republican school, We shall ap-
plaud his grit and not fear in so doing
that we compromise the name and fame
Of the Democratic party.
We don't believe that the patriotic
spirit Of the old-timed, libe-ty-laving
Democracy would advice that Hayes
should be forced 10 become as extreme
as Grant became, thus jsoparlizing ma
terial prosperity and reawak ming embit-
ed sectioua ism, simply to afford our
party a good chance at the expiration of
Hayes term to 60 before the country
and demand as public necessity that
the Presidential succession be placed 10
the hands of the Democracy.
We love our fresides-our country
too we'll to become such reckless partt-
sans. We are willing t. accept the as
ssrances OF Hayes and bid him give the
people a government that will comm and
their respect and homage. If, however,
the future should disaPpoint his carly

them the other day in the Ohio House
of Representatives:

most despicable practices kncwn even to
pickpockets, r. b. Hayes has secured one
hundred and eighty-fse electoral votes,

ciliatory policy of the Democratic party
He, as President, has simply stolen our
Democra 10 weapons of va fare II,
saw the wickedness Of extreme Radical
lam snd now seeks 70 avoid it a. he would
a leprous body. The fac. that he is act
ing so conservatly ely is fresh proof
that the Democracy wisely planned the
late reform movement. We have an ad
ditioual incentive to stand more unitedly
together as a party and be prepared four
years hence to win il the Presidential
election that we may extend and elabo-
rate ia all its details the fullness of real
reform IN governmental service. For one,
We do not fear that Mr. Hlyes' ascend
eney can or will cripple the Democratic
party. We claim that no permanent, in
dependent selfgogcrnment is practical
in the South outside of the rule and
reign of Democratic principles Our or
ganization should be preserved intact in
al its minu;ia. ard while we render to
Mr.. Hayes our moral support in all wise
general measures yet this should not in
duce a relaxation of effort to maintain
our unity aud integrity. Much is being
being said about ex-senator Keys accept
ing Cabinet position under Hayes.
This is but Democratic contribution
of strength to the national Government.
Il is q compliment to US and an acknowl-
edgment of the necessity of incOrpOra-
ting Democratic influences in the general
management of Federal affIirs. There is
no occasion, much less is there any rick
of our party disiutegrating in the pres
enee of such fact We do not fear the
the consequences. The mission of our
party is vet unaccomplished. It's future
