Why is this! Why have President
HAYES and his cabinet incubated SO
long over the ditficulty-held session
after session-given orders to the
United states troops to do what the
militia would not do! Emptied the
south of the regulars to keep down
Beecher's underclasses, and keep

Gated forces of society! Not d word
about opening a path to the publc
lands. Not word about expanding
the currency so as to set the slneWs OF
the nation into motion once more. Not

cress trampled on the interests OF the
people during the last sesslon--tne
screwing down Of the currency--the
utter and heartless neglect OF the
wants and miseries Of the people--are
not going to be again tolerated. Ihe
