reported as having made this little speech
in the session of the joint committee, be-
fore taking action on the bill which has

F,om The 81. Louis Republican,

We are to have peace after all. We
hear no more talk of trouble at Washing
ton-no more marching of troops to that
city to defend somebody against somebody
else-no more withdrawing of ammunition
and ordnance from one place to be sent to
another-no more preparation to inaug
urate Hayes at the point of the bayonet.
President Grant no longer tells the listen
ing interviewer of the Associated Press
that he will hand over the government
to Hayes which was a very silly thing
for a president to say-and he has COM
pletely abandoned the idea that it was his
| business to inaugurate his successor.

Independence Not Neutrality.

Tt seems impossible for some people to
make this distinction They sheer at in
dependent journalism. You pretend,
they say, to be for Hayes, and then de-
clare for Tilden. Well, we have been
for Hayes from the start as interpreted by
himself We have always stood 'squarely
on his letter of acceptance Did that bind
US tn follow the party leaders when they
fought the campaign on other issues?
When Tilden is elected by the people, our
presidential preference must yield to the
event. The day ofpersonal preference is
past. There has been an election. We
declare for Tilden only because we believe
that he as president by the popular vote.
Would it be independent or honest to con-
ceal that conviction or uphold the manipu-
lation of the Louisiana returning board?
But why MOI accept that just DOW as a
choice of evils-sharp practice OF both
sides you know and rely on Mr.. Hayes to
condone the error by brilliant reform ad-
ministratiOn? Because we believe in do
ing right. Doing evil that good may come
is treacherous motto. The path of the
just that shineth more and more don lie
that way. There is nothing so brilliant as
success. when it starts fair. But be one
| thing or the other" Exactly. That is
just what we propose to be, according to
our best lights. whether coincident with
party lines or not. and the last place we
shall go to for our ethics is the party or
gan. If, as the negro preacher said, there
are only two paths-one leading to hell
and the other to damnation-ripht there
we take to the woods We believe. too
that out of the thickest woods the truth
and the right will find their way into the
open. They live, while parties die. II
Hayes shall be inaugurated, We shall not
forget his counting in. If Tilden shall be
iuaugurated, we shall not forget his watch
cry of reform. Our motives will be de-
clared by the organs. fine will also de-
clare them.
