Why the Change

From the Fayetteville Express.
For some time after TIE Presidential
election in 1876, when Samlcl j. Tildcn
was honestly. fairly and Enthusiastically
elected by the people, it was treason
in Southern newspapers and in the big
lights N the Democratic party TO fail To
charge fraud upon the Republican par
y. upon the electoral commission and
upon Mr.. Hayes himself. Now, with
many of these very same Jurnals and
public men. it is treason to whisper
such IA thing, and those who have the
manIlness and lclncrlty to continue Civ
ing expression to their honest conyic-
llous that the seating Of MI. Hayes
was pcrpctrnlIng a great fraud and
outrage Upon the American people, are
clnsscd az "Bourbons' and "Impracri-
cables" Why this rcvulsion Of scnll,
meht and teachings upon the part 81
those who were at one time foremost
and loudcst in their denunciations of
IIC 'hH' anu Lis FluuuulCIlCS 7
1t is no less u fraud now than then,
and no less palpable. BY being ias-
tened upon US, and submitted to for
prudential reasons up to the present
time, the great wrong a not made
right. The fraud is as plain to be seen
now ms IL was then, and it is no less
the duty Of the people and an inae~
pendent press to cry out against it
now than it WAS then.
The people begin to suspect a cat in
the meal somewhere. They begin to
suspect very strongly that some Of
MIR. Tilden's prominent protested
Southern friends betrayed him aud
condoned, winked at, and even assisted
in defrauding him Of the high position
TO which lie was called by the Amcri
can people, and for fear of their own
exposure If the matter should be re,
opened for Investigation they Whisper,
"hush sh.sh! They say, to allay the
clanors OF the people: Hayes is ma
king n good President. Tildcn him
self could not have done SO much for
the Southern people as Hayes is do
ing" And in this way they have ac-
tualiy succeeded, to u great extent, in
sllcncing the honest expression of OPP
position TO the fraud of fuus,ing Mr..
Hay es upon Us, and, in many instan.
ccs, have put a new song in the mouths
of many Democratic journal, and
