Did you vote for Hayes?'
Yes 1t was my maiden vOte.'
What do you think of Hayes nOW?'
"Oh, he is somewhat honest in his way, but
am suspicious of him. 50 soon as heard
that the eastern bankers had endorsed his
administration, then l began to lose faith.
You can Judge men by the company they
keep. The Cabinet is not better"
TILDEN.
Nnat 90 you tnlnk OIL Illden?"
An unmitigated fraud. Why, the country
could not have worse misfortune than the
elevation of such a man to the Presidential
chair. The democrats will never nominate
him again He could not be elected for pound
keeper in any decent California town. Tilden
and all his stamp are politically dead. Don'C
let US ever try to resurrect their ashes.''
What is your opinion of the last CongreSs?"
Nothing but band of frauds, classical
scapegOatS and bank thieves. The men from
the Pacific coast were in general the worst OF
all. All OF them outside OF Davis and Jones,
did not amount to hill OF beans. Davis did
some good work, and the heart of Jones was
IN the right place. but Sargent was humbsg

Il know it, but The ma Orlty of the people
are deluded themselves, the poliuicia are
demagOgueS. and 50 unable To appreciate true
merit when found. Ben. Butler is a man of

Souled sort OF a man."
When you go east do you intend to be as
0utSp0ken IN your utteranceS as You have
been in California;"
Just the same"
But they may arrest you
70 well, il they arrest me don't think they
will hang me without a trial. You don't think
so, do you? They won't institute the danger
