Is a disguise 10 conceal the illegal and

be corrupted, and the uub!ushing manner
in which the les -rs OF the Democratic |
party undertook 20 buy the votes Of Presi-
dental Electors with morev, prove, sLem
unworthy the public confidence: the denial
Of the title OF President HAYES is an act of
party desperation, and the attempt 10 oust
him from Office is revolutionary resistance |
to law, and il it is not condemned by the
people, 1t will furnish precedent by which
any defeated party may issue its declara-
ton in opposition to law, and rally it, sup
pOrters to acts OF violence, plunge the coun-
try into anarchy and thus MexicaniZa and
destroy the institutions; tie
ELECTORAL COMMISSION
and consent OF the Democratic party in
Congress, and it, decisions, subsequently
confirmed by Congress, was final and con-
elusive upon every department OF this
Government, and there can be no appeal
from it except by revolution its decision I
makes the the title OF President HAYES
equal TO that OF any former President, and
We recognize in his personal integrity az
well a. in the general course Of his con- {
duct Of the Government so as to preserve
The honor and promote the happiness of |
