'Three ch ers more!' exclaimed another voice, and the demonstration was repeated with even greater vigor than before. When John McKeon came forward and said, I nominate for chairman the legally elected President of the United States,' the excitement reached its climax and a great shout went up. ** * His name, whenever mentioned by the orators of the evening, drew a terrific burst of applause."

Just as religiously as all Republicans believe that Rutherford B. Hayes was legally elected President of the United States, do the mass of Democrats believe that Samuel J. Tilden was duly elected to the same high office. Herein lies the great danger that is in the coming Presidential election. Herein lies the necessity, at this time, of securing the election of the Republican candidate by so large an ele toral majority, that it will carry absolute conviction to the Democratic masses, and frighten their leaders so thoroughly, that a Democratic Congress will not dare to count him out, and the Democratic candidate will not dare to strive to overturn by force the lawfully expressed will of the people. The work of the campaign is not so much to elect Garfield for that is already assured-but to elect him by an immense electoral majority. That will insure peace and the preservation of the liberties of the people, and the institutions of the Republic. A close vote threatens CIVIL war, with all its hitherto unknown horrors,

The Democratic Leaders teach this belief on all occasions for their own infernal ends-They begin to believe it themselves!-Peace or civil war?

The Democratic leaders have instilled and worked up this belief among the Democratic masses, so that their own devilish purposes may be subserved. The 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th resolutions of the Democratic platform of 180 were adopted solely to intensify that feeling. They declare President Hayes to be a "representative of conspiracy only;" that he was declared President "upon a false count;" that he was a "defeated candidate, who that Tilden was elected" President by "bribed his way to the seat of a usurper;" and majority of his countrymen "—the latter clause evidently inserted with the intention of makDemocratic belief that Tilden is the "le of being elected by a majority of the electoral ing the Democratic masses believe that instead

If it is doubted that the Democratic masses believe that Tilden was elected, and defrauded | of his rights, the proceedings.

In his address to Mr. Tilden, when presenting to him a copy of the 9th_resolution of the Cincinnati Convention, Governor Stevenson, President of that Convention, in the presence of the Democratic National and Congressional Committees and other Democratic magnates, tendered "the homage of the entire American people to him "The great event of the evening was the coming in who in 1876 was by a large majority elected Presiof ex-Governor Samuel J. Tilden. His appearance dent of the United States," and talked of "the was looked forward to with the most intense interest. base fraud committed for the first time in our Women holding children by the hand and babies in past history, in refusing to permit the President their arms hung around the entrances with no other object than to catch a glimpse of the man of whom legally chosen by them to exercise the duties of they have heard so much. The whole body of men that exalted position." By constant repetition forgot Hancock and English for the moment and of an untruth, those who utter, as well as those centred their attention on Mr. Tilden. Never did a man meet a more thrilling reception. Every inch of room within the spacious interior of the Academy was occupied, and a lively feeling of expectancy filled the minds of all present when John McKeon entered on the left of the stage, followed by Mr. Tilden and a string of prominent Democrats. The moment the ex-Governor emerged from the wings the cheering broke forth like a tornado, and by the time he had

who hear it, in course of time come to believe it is truth. It is quite likely, therefore, that not alone the Democratic masses, but the leaders also of the Democracy have come to believe that Tilden really was "legally elected," and was "hocus-pocussed" out of his seat! This belief-which all Republicans are
