National Republican., 1878-05-30

resentation, bfavado, and calumny for long
months with patience that has been chal-
ienged by the awkwardness Of the irposition
under the policy of an Administration for
which they are held responsible. But rs
the features Of the Presidents policy have
been changed and modified, and rs the
cause of DETECTION within the Republican
organization has been removed or mater
tally ameliorated, and us the impulses of
patriotism have led to disregard IL not to n
iorgetfulness Of those differences the Re-
publicans have fused into solid mass of
opposition To the revolutionary scheme
OF the conspirators who have aimed
another blow 1t the national in
tcgrity, peace, and welfare. The time has
come for every Republican, every patriot,
every friend of law, peace, and good order
to step to the front as in 1851 and boldly
confront the dangers that now environ the
national welfare. The day Of patience and
the hour for temporizing with the enemy
have passed away. The national honor, the
Presidential title, the cause of law and the
public peace, all demand that the friends of
national integrity and our republican insti-
tutions shall enlist for q campaign which
shall not end until these revolutionary
schemes shall find a permanent resting place
where the hand of resurrection will net
reach them.
We join with the Cleveland Herald in the
demand now firmly and fearlessly made
that the Republicans shall have the oppor-
tunity to establish by irrcfragable proof,
and they have the ability so to do, the fol
lowing distinct and important points in tn g
pending case:
First. That HAYES and WHEELER were
rightly entitled to tho electoral votes of Flori.
da and Louisiana.
Second. That fair election, free from fraud
and bull.dozing, would have given them be.
sides Alabama and North Carolina.
Third. That the popular majority for TIL.
DEN, about which there has been so much ado
was fraudulent majority, and that large
prcponderance of the voters of the United
States preferred HAYES, and would have so
expressed themselves at tho polls had they
been allowed fair opportunity.
Fourth. That neither HAYES, SHERMAN,
MOVES, nor any other prominent Republican
leader desired, instigated, or was o party to
any election or returning board frauds In tho
South.
Fifth. That TILDES furnished money for
tho carrying out of the CRoSIN fraud In Ore
gon and had full knowledge of 1t; that he fur.
nshed money to carry the October election In
Indiana; that ho furnished the money that So
cured the commission of the EPH HOLLAND
frauds in Cincinnati; and that his agents, act
Ing In his behalf, ondcavored to bribc one of
the South Carolina electors to betray his trust
Now that this needless and wicked con-
troversy has been thrust upon the country
by conspirators and for the purpose of revo-
luton, and with the most serious conse-
quences to the material interests of the
Government and the governed, the Republi-
cans propose to meet it with boldness that
knows no finching, and purpose to crush
these elements of outlawry and disorder to
the earth before there shall be any with
drawal of the Republican forces from the
field of contest This fresh trouble is not of
Republican seeking, but it is clearly Re-
publican duty to confront the danger and
preserve the Government.
