THE TRIBUNE earnestly strove for the election of President Hayes, and it gives its heartiest support to the high purposes of his Administration. Doubting the wisdom of methods sometimes taken by his subordinates, and criticising with entire freedom his occasional mistakes, it still thinks it the duty of the hour to hold together and strengthen the party that elected and alone sustains him. It believes the day of danger to the negro has passed, and that of danger to the Tax-Payer has come. The Solid South (at last in full control of every Rebel and Border State) sees its chance to get at the National Treasury, and get back what it lost by the war. Only 47 Northern votes are needed. If Tammany Hall could furnish New York, then Indiana, or Connecticut and New Jersey, would suffice. The danger is upon us, and against it the old party of Freedom—still the party of the Churches and the School-houses—is the only bulwark. It alone can keep the Solid South from grasping the National Government in 1880. It alone can save us, even now, from the threatened Democratic abandonment of Resumption and renewed debasement of the currency which would needlessly and most wickedly check the revival of business, and treble the country’s burdens. In behalf of the old party, therefore, THE TRIBUNE renews the old appeal to the National conscience, the National honor, and the enlightened self-interest of the Tax Payers. THE TRIBUNE has always been a favorite with the religious community. Its moral tone is pure. It is largely read by ministers, and its columns almost furnish a liberal education of themselves. It prints a complete collection of religious news, prepared for it by the Rev. Dr. GEORGE R. CROOKS, late editor of _The Methodist_. The Rev. Dr. JOHN HALL, the famous Pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, contributes to it, as current topics on which he wishes to address the public arise. The Rev. Dr. HOWARD CROSBY, the Rt. Rev. BISHOP H. B. WHIPPLE, the Rev. Dr. LEONARD BACON, and great numbers of other clergymen, are also frequent contributors.
