A PROPHETIC VISION.
The Coming Campaign of 1850 Foretold by
By DIR. ]. K. BAILEY.
ITO the Editor of the Philosophical
Journal.
On the Saturday night following the NOM
nation Of Rutherford B. Hayes, as candi-
date for President of the United States of
America, by the National Republican conven-
ton at Cincinnati, in eighteen hundred and
seventy-six, had the following dream-vis-
ion, which I related to my friends on the
following day, and on many occasions dur
ing that summer, in different parts of the
country-once publicly, to an audience I
was addressing at Mortified Farms, Mass,
few days before the election of that fall
seemed to be standing in the central
portion of pasture-feld, the grass appear
ed dry, brown-dead, as fields of the kind
usually look in winter or early spring, after
the snow has vanished and the surface be-
comes dry-and as I afterward saw fields, in
Ohio, in February, 1877. This field presen-
ted gentle inclined plain; was facing the
upper portion thereof; toward the right hand
corner of the field was well, with a high
old fashioned curb and sweep; man was at
work, as if trying to get something out of
the well, with long handled pike, who i'm
pressed me with the personality of (then)
Secretary Chandler. Of this seeming iden-
tity OF Senator Chandler, told my brother
in-law, A. B. Smith, of Brainbridge, N. Y,
about two weeks after the reception of this
vision in connection with my statement of
the same to the said Smith.
People, in all directions, seemed intently
absorbed in the action of this man al the
well, I being also as eagerly watchful of his
doings. Suddenly there came upon my
vision seemingly old and very poor horse,
traversing line diagonally to my right, in q
slow walk, with head to the ground, until
the seeming living skeleton, crossing the
line of direct vision between myself and the
we'll, reached point at right angles with my
position and the we'll where the animal laid
down and apparently went through the con-
tortions of death. All eyes turned toward
the apparently dying horse. As he lay with
his feet toward me, suddenly changed char
acteristics, qualities and condition of the
horse, wildly presented to my cognizance of
him. All of the we'll known marks of high
blood and trained racing capacity and con-
dition, became apparent. His limbs were
black (the horse a dark bay, shlningly
smooth; his hoofs, exceedingly large and
perfect, as to structure and condition. Head,
eyes, ears, neck aud entire form denoting
high breeding and enduring capacity. On
the hoofs were good steel-p plate shoes, COM
pletely polished with use. The apparent
death struggle ceasing, he lay quite motion
less and all seemed to consider the noble
horse dead.
Attention then turning away from the
scene, and while looking in another direc-
ton, was startled by the tramp of the
racer. The horse had suddenly sprang to
his feet and was swiftly running down the
field, to my left. My eyes followed
his course, which led to stable
in the distance. The horse entered
the stable door, at the farther
si6e of the building, came forward to the
manger and commenced eating therefrom-
the side of the stable toward me, being
open. He quietly and contentedly ate, and
thrust his headsout of the opening with q
sparkling twinkle of eye, and knowing
movement of ears and head, as if to indi-
cate: "They thought was dead, but here
am, eating out of tho public crib.''
My attention then again turning to the
man at the well, noticed that he seemed
electrically startled from his work
thereat; surprisingly viewed the horse in
the stable; threw down his long pike-pole;
ran down to the stable; stopped down in
in front of the horse; picked from the
ground, some new, ripe apples, and
reached them toward the horse, he
eating them out of his hand.
The import of the vision, seems now clear.
Until long after the Inauguration of Hayes
into the presidency, supposed that it signi-
fed the displacement of him, by Tilden. Bnt
by the various symbols, and especially the
new, ripe apples, together with the startling
change of attitude of Chandler-the long
pike pole manipulation at the well, and chief
manager of the counting out' of Tilden-
now, to my view, signifies that Tilden will
be elected and inaugurated the next president
of this republic.
1t remains to be seen whether the pro-
phetic symbols of this vision are, in Gull
mination, correctly interpreted; or, if cor
rectly interpreted, whether the prophetic
opinion of tie inspiring intelligence will be
realized; for I, in common with most spirit
ualists, hold to no infallibility of mind,
hence to no absolute certainty of prophecy.
But, Col. Bundy, the dream-vision faith
fully recorded, is submitted to you for pub
LEGATION now, or at a future time, as your
judgment shall decide.
