THEY DISBELIEVE THE lit
ASSERTIOXS.

It Las not been many wccl:s since
redbot" Democrats were asserting that
the inauguration of Hayes meant "war,
contusion, money panic, the general
stoppage of business, foreclosure of
mortgages, Tuin to the whole Nation,
followed by want and woe of the uiost
deplorable kind !" and all the time they

tay thai no solvent Democrat of average
sense, no matter how often he may have
repeated assertions similar to the above,
believed any such trouble, kvould be
brought about. There isn't a solcettt
Democrat in Oregon or elsewhere, with
averaga common sense, who takes
enough stock in assertions as above
quoted who will take 90 cents on the
dollar for his property or business in
case Hayes is inaugurated President of
the United States ! There isn't a solv
ent business man in the country who
feels the least apprehension that Gov.
.Hayes, the President elect, or the Republican-party,
will commit any illegal
act or lend aid to any unconstitutional
measure calculated to throw the coun

the past, stand by its legal rights, and
uiwtr no circumstances win fecit uy any
other than legal measures to gain these
rights. ' And ricrht here is the marked
difference between the Republican and
Democratic parties. Instead of pro

crops were never known to fail. I?y
looking up the authorities, wc say, the
