HAYES will be so overwhelmed
with not merely guilty. profting, but with
guilty promoting the frauds in Louisiana |
and Florida, and that an overwhelming pub
lie opinion will force him to resign, if con-
gress does not impeach him. Should this be |
the result of the investigation, it would not |
necessitate bloody revolution, such as Hayes |
and Key threaten. Bloody revolution did |
not threaten when Andrew Johnson was i'm
peached for defending the constitution and |
performing his sworn duty President, and |
Mr.. Hayes, then a member of the house of |
representatives, did not warn the country |
that it was fast beng Mexicanized by the |
traitors to the constitution, of whom he was |
one, and whom the old statesman, whose |
shoes Key tried to fill, denounced as traitors. |
There is no thought of Mexicanizing or of |
bloody revolution, except with Hayes and !
Key and the newspapers which profit by the |
public pap. 1t is only proposed to enforce |
the laws and punish fraud, to make the rob- |
berry of votes odious, and restore to the coun-

have passed away, let us hope, forever.
Since Radical reconstruction has ceased |
we have had no attempts at Mexl- |
caniziDg. Thanks TO the indomitable |
pluck of the southern people who, State by
State, possessed themselves of their govern
ments long before Hayes was nominated for
the Presidency, we hear no more of the Next |
canizing proclamations of Radical governors,
of rowing bands of bloody and brutal militia,
of forced loans in the shape of bonds put
upon the market without the peoples con-
sent and for which the property owners were
in no way responsible. All this Mexicanizing
has ceased-thanks to the Democratic party.
1t was only possible to Radicalism. The
Democratic party-the party of law and
order-could not and will not consent to any
Mexicanizing schemes. 1t will not permit
the country to be Mexicanized by the theft of
the Presidency, nor will it permit Mr.. Hayes
to indulge the bloody revolution which he
and Key alone dread. 1t has always pursued
lawful methods. 1t will see that the investi-
cation of frauds in Florida and Louisiana are
prosecuted vigorously, and it will see that the
participants in those frauds, be they who
they may, are punished as the law directs.
The business public need not labor under any
misapprehension. There will not be any
thing like bloody revolution or Mexlcanizlng
there will only be the enforcement of law.
