WHO ARE ~MEXIcANIzING US

"A lew ucSpeItIc hepuolfCdh icuV
ers, such as Sherman, Chandler,
Cameron, Moves, and their depend
ents, resolved to "Mexicanize'' the
government Of this country by de
feating the will of the people as ex-
pressed in the last Presidential cleo
ton. They deliberately summoned
fraud to overthrow law, justice, con-
fidence and peace, and they succeed
ed. The electoral votes Of Lonisi-
ana and Florida were wrested from
Tilden by perjury, forgery and whole-3
sale manipulation of the returns, and
Hayes was made President, having
received a valid and unassailable I'll
tie from the Electoral Commission.
The Democrats, the cheated party,
are content to lose their stolen Pre-
sidency since the theft has been le-
galized on technical grounds by a
lawful tribunal, but they propose to
20 to the bottom facts and tell the
country. and the world just how the
theft was committed and who the
criminals are. This is unpleasant
: for the criminals, and the criminals
!. happen to be many more of the lead
ers of the Republican party than the
party can afford to have branded as
, electoral burglars. With one accord,
! therefore. they howl against the Dem
%ocratic investigation as an effort to
E"Mexieanize' the country and
!, plunge it into, revolution. Those
: who deliberately aMexicanized" the
! country in 1867 now shrek them
: selves hoarse against "Mexicaniz-
