ing that to permit it to pass in
silence might be an admission of
its entire truth. The Presi-
dent took different view,
assuming the ground that
his official action was
based on his sense of right, with
out thinking for moment what
might be the result as affecting
him personally. He was opposed
to public response, prefering that
his acts should be the best interpre-
ter Of his motives and principles.
He had sought to preform his duty,
and with this he was con-
tent, no matter how others
with prejudiced minds might
view his conduct. All would re-
collect, he said. how bitterly Sena-
tor Howe had denounced President
Lincoln toward the close of his
first term, and how others sought
to prevent Lincoln from being
nominated for his second term,
but, notwithstanding all this, he
WAS nominated and became more
popular than ever, the people having
become better acquainted with
him. President Hayes was per-
fectly willing to be judged by the
same tribunal. The President does
not appear in the least disturbed
by Senator Howe's assault, believ.
ing that time will fully vindicate
him.
