By bribery and corruption Hayes was given the presidency, and the 5,000,000 of people who voted for Tilden four years ago can only look upon this act with displeasure. The people of Maine have put their seal of condemnation upon that act which placed Hayes, by fraud, in the white house. The democratie party is the party of the people, struggling for and inaintaining everjwhere thepeople's rights. It is the only party that has survived through victory and defeat. And is there any reason that the democracy is not worthy of our support?

Wlien the demoerats were in power there were no whisky rings, no Belknap's in the cabinet, no Babcock's, in those days. The ïnission of the republican party is endcd, and will die like the oíd political partios of the past.
