MID FOR THE FOREJGN MIRKET

An English Member OF Parliament, making
a speech to his constituents recently. on his
return from visit to the United States, COM
plimented President Hayes in deseryedly high
terms for the purity, efficiency and fairness of
his administration, but he said that be had
heard with great concern from Americans
whom he met during his tour that the Presi-
dent was elected by fraud.n Our English
friend added that he was vexed and panied
to be told this. From the tone Of his remarks
we infer that he was lOath to believe ii, not
withstanding the source from which the assur
ance came. Possibly his pain and vexation
arose less from fear that the charge might
be true than from the fact that American
citizens showed such an indecent propensity
to discredIt their own country in the eyes of
a stranger 1t is embarrassing to be thrown
into the company of a man who has no sooner
been introduced to you than he begins to tell
scandaous stories about his family.
We might wonder what kind of American
citizens they can be who care so little for the
good name of their native land as to pour
these shameless stories of fraud into the ears
of travelling foreigners. Grant that they
themselves are persuaded of the truth of the
electoral choice, they are well aware that at
least half the American people are of the
contrary opinion. that the question is one upon
which parties honestly differ, and that the
only authoritative judgment ever obtained
from a competent tribunal was that by virtue
of which Mr.. Hayes took the Presidency.
Even the most extreme Democrat, therefore,
supposng him to be gentleman, might know
better than to report to stranger as an un-
doubted fact what is at most only partisan
accusation. But unfortunately the experience
of our recent visitor with scandal -mongers was
not exceptional. Nobody comes here without
being compelled to witness the public washing
of dirty linen and when Englishmen go home
persuaded that we are ruled by swindlers and
bribe-takers, that Congress is dsreputabe
body, that elections are fraudulent, that the
President is an usurper, that republican govern
ment is a costly and ridiculous failure, they
can always refer TO American citizens as the
sources of their information. An American
guest at an English dinner-table is not usually
entertained with stories of the corruption of
