THE PRESIDENTIAL FRAUD.-The pee

II hC pNo-
pie of this country will never be satisfied i
to permit the Presidential fraud to be
carried out, because of the fear of revolu-
ton.
1t will not do for Mr.. Key to attempt |
to intimidate the intelligent people of
this country and insult them by aocus-
ing them with a desire to "Mexicamze
our institutions" because they investi-
gate fraud by which the Presidency |
has been stolen, and he has been made
recipient of stolen favors in the shape
of large powers and large salary. Mr.. !
Key does not believe what he says. He
is too intelligent to think there is any
need for revolution to dispossess Mr..
Hayes. His utterance of such a senti-
ment is disgraceful to him, and shows
that he would be, if he is not, particeps
criminis in the great fraud to perpetuale
and make it permanent.
Mr.. Key will find out that the people
have had enough of war and bloodshed
for an idea. But they will not suffer
their institutions to be seized upon by a
few unprincipled lawyers, who happened
to be in Congress and bartered away at
their convenience.
This whole question will 60 before the
people in the next Congressional cam
pagn. And 1t will there be discussed
1t will be proclaimed from every stump
that the effort to ascertain the truth as
to the Presidential fraud was demanded
by all parties ; and as much by the dissat-
isfaction given by Mr.. Hayes to his own
party as by desire to do justice to Mr..
TILDRN.
W here is the honest man outside of
Hayes Cabinet, that would dare to stand
up and glory in the fact that they were
rJbed in the stolen honors through
Hayes favors?
Where is the honest man, outside of
the Hayes Cabinet, that will dare to say
that Mr. TILDEN, if it is proved beyond
doubt he was elected, is not the man to
whom the honor belongs?
Who but Hayes Cabinet officer will
dare to deny that this great citizens sub
mission to the course of events, rather
than plunge the country into civil dis
cord threatened by Grant and Ferry,
was one of the most patriotic acts of the
present age.
When it shall be proved that Mr.. TIL
DEN was elected beyond doubt, will
Hayes still claim to enjoy the stolen
honors? Will Sherman and his crowd
of scoundrels still adhere to the fruits OF
Democratic victory handed to them by
the threats of Grant and Ferry? We
think not.
Villany is hardly so deeply rooted in
these men as to make them dare to pro-
pose to grasp for more than they have.We
believe that they will be glad to hide
their guilty heads from the shame that
will be Missed at them from every quar-
ter, and Mr.. Key will be glad to get
away with such stolen profits as he ha.
already received.
But the implied threat of Mr. Key i,
the baldest piece of cheap bragadocia
we have yet seen emanate from any man
and proves he is about the smallest of tn,
many small potatoes in craftsmanship
that this age has produced.
Has Mr.. Key an idea that nobody il
this country can shoot as well as thos,
who fought on one or the other side o
the late scandalous and most useless ant
uncivil of all civil wars? Clearly the foo
are not all dead. Does Mr.. Key forge
that there was such a gentleman as
Charles |. and that an English Parlia
mentproposed to take some ofthe weigh
of. the Government upon Itself? Til
American people are not more likely t
be intimidated by Hayes and tn
Shermans and Key. And the soone
Mr.. Key and such like him learn this tl
better
1hls Investigation is not all in the il
rerest Of party, it is in the interest of 90,
ernment. 1t is to establish the right. an
if it is proved that Mr.. Hayes was elec
ed he will be vindicated. But if it prov,
that Mr.. Tilden was clearly elected an
defrauded, it will Lbe for the America
Congress tosay whether they will longe
recognize Hayes and in such evei
they will be bound TO indemnify NJ
TlLDEN by some act that will give to III
den all that may be left of the honors ,
which he has been robbed. And thus |,
history record that TILDEN was tn
chosen of the people and Hayes is the in
poster. We are III duty bound to send t
posterity the truth Of this matter an
in the future our children as gazing upo
the line of Presidents will look upon I'll
DEN the great citizen, las one of the Pres
dents worthy to adorn the highest plac
out of which he was cheated by the me
who brought disgrace upon the countr
by distorting language that the Father
thought it not possible to be misundel
