weight OF worthless, to show that General Gar
field had been guilty of dshonorable conduct
The people have heard the case and rendered a
verdict. Rarely is any man compelled, in
his own defence, to remain before the jury four
months, and to meet all the evidence that one
hundred thousand hired attorneys can hunt mp
OF manufacture during that time. But that is
the sort Of tIial General Garfield has borne. anu
the verdict is in his favor The people have
declared, by their votes, that they are convinced
there was 10 dishOnOr nor corruption III the
matters of which he. was accused. The Dtmo-
cratic politician or editor who still asserts the
contrary, after the final verdict of the people,
does not befoul General Garfield; he only
throws mud at the people. They have heard
the case, calmly, dispassiOnately, and with
high sense of honor. He has suppressed evil
dence published falsehOOds daily, distorted
facts, emptlcd his passions and pIejudlces into
his pretended judgments, and read the returns
with sickening consciousness that no lat
Office will reward the debisiug and degraded
work that he has done for party. The verdict
of the Democratic politician or editor dsh0nors
no one but himself. The verdict CT the Amefi-
can people finishes the case forever; they de-
clare that james A. Garfield is worthy OF the
highest honor they have power to bestow.
Will it pay for Democrats to insult the people
any longer? They can ascertain by trial, II
they choose. II is a patient and long suffering
people, and possibly it may like to have mud
spattered in its face by TRAITORS, bulldozers liars,
perjuiers, and foIgers. 1t may possibly con-
cude that men like Barnum and Randall
represent integrity and virtue and that
the millions who voted for James A. Garfield
are guilty of synpathy with crime. IT the
Democrats think that the American people will
tolerate black guardlsm of this sort without re-
senting it, they are mistaken But no Democrat
who has self-respect will hereafter indulge IN
foul abuse OF the man whom the people OF tins
country have adjudged worthy OF the seat OF
Washington and Lincoln.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-11-17
-------------- -7s-----
TIE FIN1L TERDTCT

One suggestion is certainly III order. 1t is
meant only for those Democrats who wish 10
be gentlemen and who have some sense of self
respect. 1t is about time to quit insulting and
befouling the American people. No Demo-
cratic politician or journal can make anything
in that business. But when the Democratic poll
tician or editor says that President Hayes is
fraud, or that General Garfield Is perjurer or
bride -taker, he no longer insults an individual.
He insults a majority of the people of this
country and very large majority of the
people of Northern States.
Much has been excused in respect to Presi-
dent Hayes, in consideration of the honest dis
pute as to his election. We can understand
that the Democrat, who could not see
how MIR. Hayes was legally and honestly
elected may naturally have felt very bitter
about the final decision. In that spirit of pro-
test he began to appeal to the country four
years ago. and has been appealing ever since.
The American people have heard all that he
has had to say. 1t is an insult to them to say
that they have now sustained the Republican
party, believing that it captured the Presidency
by fraud -four years ago. A large majority of
the Northern people are declared by the Demo
cratic editor to be unmltigated scoundrels
when he asserts that the party which they have
now sustained, and continued in power, OBJ
tanned the Presidency IN 1876 by fraud. The
PLAIN truth is that the people have decided
against the Democratic claim. They hold that
the elections in certain Southern States were
vtiated by Democratic violence and fraud
that the country was compelled to choose be-
tween President chosen by shOt-guns and
tissue ballots, and "A President chosen by the
operation OF stringent and arbitrary laws en-
acted at the South for the purpose Of prevent
ing such frauds and that the choice Of Presi-
dent Hayes was in accordance with the real
will OF the people as lawfully expressed. That
is the final verdict. After hearing all that
Democrats have said for -four years, the Ameri-
can people so decide. Common decencv and
self-respect require Democrats to submit to
the decision.
AS to General Garfield, the case is still more
simple. July, August September, and October
were crowded with lies about him. Every
Dem ocratic newspaper placed before the people
all the evidence it could get true or false of
