'.rhe democrats will undoubtedly give him hearty
support IN his efforts toward Cancellation, which
democratic measure We have been asking Tor 1t iol
years. and We will certainly throw obstacles In the
OF its being effected by the President because he
Is republican. We will help him IN every measure
which VIC think helps tLo country.
TIE POSITION DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
''The position OF tho democratic party is simply
u n Oil ia ~
the whole American people, believe that Mr.. Tdcn
was honestly elected President OF the United States
We were delrauded, and Mr.. Hayes holds Office with
clear title. have heard some democrats say
that had Mr. rilden been surated would have
dared 10 do what Mr. Hayes has done-wll hdraw tho
troops. do not believe anything Of tho sort; bat it
IS useless discuss that What we do know is thnt
Mr. rden would have gone into Office as the exponent
o democratic principles, and We would have expected
from him an out-and-out democratic administration
OF affairs. We do not expect from Mr.. Hayes
more than he chooses as republican,, 10 give us He
has chosen TO give Us Cancellation the south We
accept II, and will do all can to aid HIM IN that
direction. But Cancellation Is not everything. There
great national questions which parties naturally
divide. The democrats have their own views on tho
question tari relations OF states TO tue federal
government, &c., Mc ana do propose to relin-
quish them 10 follow Mr.. Hayes in The formation OF u
new party. We viii accept Hayes as messenger Of
peace, but not as the apostle OF dispensatun."
