FROM RUTHERFORD B. HAYES
Columbus, O., Nov. 3, 1876.
I meant to meet you at the depot yesterday, but was prevented. It is now too late to speculate on results. I shall find many things to console me if defeated. I feel more than ever satisfied with having written a square letter. Very little occurs to me that I could have changed during the canvass. The hard times with the consequent desire for change, and the opportunity which such times give for the corrupt use of money by our adversaries have greatly affected the strength of parties.
In any event I am exceedingly gratified by what you have done in the canvass, and shall always remember it with thankfulness and satisfaction.
