ghoulish outburet
But there is another feature VI this at
tack which must have attention, for its
real purpose was TO teach the young men
Of today, who have grown up to active life
since 1876 that Mr.. Hayes was fraudu-
lent president Than this nothing could be
more untruthful for no man ever came 70
the chair Of the Chief Executive with a
surer title than did he. What is more, and
what discredits and condemns absolutely
any such attacks from Democratic source,
is the fact that the legal machinery, through
which Mr. Hayes's title was established,
was Democratic measure devised by
Democrats, and carried through Congress
by Democratic votes
The first step toward the electoral com
mission was a resolution reported To the
House by Proctor Knott, Kentucky Dem
ocrat, and the bill creating the commission
passed both houses 10y this vote In the
Senate-ayes, % Democrats, 81 Repubh

- Republicans voted for and - voted
against the bill Notwithstanding the
scheme was of their own devisng, from the
time the righteous decision made by this tri-
bunal of their own creation, was announced
the cry of fraud has never ceased to issue
from Democratic lips.
Such are the facts The title Of Mr.
Hayes to the Presidency, as we have said,
was as unassalable as that of any man
who ever sat in the Executive chair He
gave the country a clean, strong admins
traton, he set high moral standard for
those who came after him. and since he
stepped back into the ranks he has had the
grace and courage to live the life of qui-
ct, useful unobtrusive American citizen.
His name and his public services will be
held in increasing honor and appreciation
long after his would be defamers have sunk
into an Oblivion from which there is no re-

JUDSON MEMORIAL.
The BrnIIIebOrO Branch Of this BeneR-
cent Undertaking.

The first article Of reading matter on our
first page today is Of interest u our Brat
trboro readers, and especially those of the
Baptist church. because it tells Of work
now being done in New York. Of which
they have heard on more than one occasion
from DR.. Edward Judson's own lips DR.
Judson left a wealthy society IN Orange
j., where he had only TO make his wishes
known " have them gratitied, and went of
his own free choice into Il quarter Of New
York city where poverty, squalpr igno
rance and vice are his surroundings. To
the people of this section Of the great city,
who are practically as far removed from
the influence of Christianity as are those in
50 called heather lands, Mr. JudSon is try
ing to carry the gospel of Christ in tangible
form, and the church which he is to build
with branches and departments for practi
cal work, especially among the Young. tax
ing close hold on their everyday lives, will
be a memorial to his father, the celehrAt Il
missionary. who went out to Burmah IN
1872
1t will be remembered that " hen DR. Jud
son spoke before the Baptist state cunvrn
ton three weeks ago, he stated that a Brat
tleboro lady Mrs CrowelD had placed The
Cottage in Highland park at his disposal for
use in fresh air work for the children Of
his mission. On TUESDAY of this week the
Rev Mr. Bruce, DIR Judson's colleague.
came 10 Brattlebnro accompanied hv Mrs
Bruce, aud with Mr. and Mrs Crowell aud
Rev and Mrs. Parry looked over The Cot
tage with a view to making suitable plans
for next years work. The plans have not
yet taken definite shape, but Mr. Bruce was
deeply impressed with the advantages which
are thus placed at his command through
Mr.. Crowell's beneficence, and it is more
than probable that the cottage and grounds
viii be used as part and direct adjunct
of the New York mission, young children
aud sick or worn out mothers and working
girls occupying it throughout each summer.
To what extent or in what way the Brattle-
boro Baptist church will directly interest
itself in this work cannot now he said.
DR. Judson's movement in New York is
broader than any denominational lines. 1t
is whole hearted effort to do some of
Gods work in the world, and Brattleboru
is fortunate in being able to have a part in
it,

The Windham County Reformer has new
err so completely justified its nom de plume
Of the Windham County Defamer as in its
issue of last week, when it made the visit
Of ex President Hayes to his relatives in
West Brattleboro and Newfane the occa-
sion of an unprovoked, uncalled-for and
untruthful attack on Mr.. Hayess record
and good name, In the whole history of
that sheet we recall nothing so gross, so
wanton, so positively brutal as this. "Mr.
Hayes profted by the great crime of the
century he took the presidency when it
did not belong to him, and therefore he is
despised, neglected, and nobody cares for
him or seeks him out when he travels
abroad How profoundly humiliating,'
how it shadows and darkens his whole ca
reer = Behold, o American youth what
warning is here taught !" This is the tenor
of the Reformers article. So speaks this
paragon of purity and moral excellence,
this model for the youth whom he instructs,
this pink of the proprieties, this sweet
smelling rose in the garden of the gods
And now let us see what are the facts.
Mr.. Hayes came East on a visit to certain
places Of personal interest, and to spend a
little time with his relatives here, this be-
ing the objective point of his journey, He
is bowed down with grief at the death of
his wife, which took place only three months
ago; he seeks no society except that of his
immediate friends, and, sore and wounded
as he is, any public appearance or public
attention is an ordeal from which he
shrinks When he wrote his relatives
here of his intended visit, undertaken
largely as a means of solace and diversion
he told them Of this feeling and especially
asked them to make no mention of his com
ing that he might avoid public notice and
come and 60 in quietness, This wish was
respected. He came, made his visit to his
friends, talked with them of many things
near to his heart, and went away like any
decent private citizen. And then came
this brutal attack of the Reformer No
wonder that Mr., Hayes's friends feel its
coarse thrusts as personal attack made
upon themselves, They ought, to be sure
u find partial palliation of the offence in
its authors absolute inability by nature
and training 70 appreciate the finer senti-
ment which actuated Mr. Hayes, or the
lond Of grief that weighs him down but
it is none the less a shameful thing for this
community that any reputable person should
not be permitted 10 come among his friends
