There is one resolution omitted Ia The
platform Of the Corvallis Demecratic
Club which should be in every Demo
cratic platform Of the current century,
and that Is enc denoaneing the Presi-
dental Fraud. Democrats should not
for one moment forget that they were
cheated out Of the President whom they
elected BY a quarter of million votes,
nor fail to express their indignation at
the Great Wrong.
The infamous conspiracy and fraud
ulent contrivanees by which the office
which rightfully belongs to Samuel j
Tilden was given to Rutherford B.
Hayes should be denounced in burning
words from every political meeting, ros-
trum and journal in the land until the
party that perpetrated the infamy are
so effectually and eternally damned as
to be beyond the hopes of even polit-
icOl Purgatory.
Is it possible that the American peo-
pie can for one moment forget this
shameless cheati Will they sit calmly
and silently down, fold their hands re
signedly and stare at each other in
wonderment, as though destiny made 1t
impossible for them to overcome the
fates and right one Of the most fragrant
wrongs by which any people anywhere
lost their rights 7 Is the reason, strength
and win power of this people to give
way to pathetic superstition that the
fore-ordained destiny of the Republic is
downward, and that no effort of theirs
can change its coursel Or will they
yet prove themselves men-citizens Of
the Ste,e-freemen, who know their
rights and dare maintain them in the
face Of fraud, by an enforced demand
made through their representatives in
the Halls Of Congress, for thorough,
searching investigation of all that per
tains to the villainous scheme which de-
frauded them of their right Of franchise
and seated Mr.. Hayes instead of Mr..
Tilden, in the Executive chair of the
Republic, and the further demand that
the parties implicated and found guilty
shall be punished to the fullest extent
of their crime.
Who is the man that dates to sit
down in the broad light of to. day and
look upon the unblushing, unrestrained,
reckless reveling in crime as it presents
itself to his vision, and with compressed
lips silently acquiesce in this villainy-
this work of the devil in man, which is
