they led on to the final coup. ., -
The Republican party knew that they
had been sold by WarmothJ They knew
that the Fusion party had entered into a
grand conspiracy to obtain their election to
Office by fraud. They knew that small
army of maniprlators were en- ga ged to de-
fraud the Republican ticket Of its popular
vote They knew that an array of manipu-
latOrs was in daily communication with the
Star Chamber committee made up of the
'honest men who scorned to hold place OBJ:
tanned by corruption" on. of whom de-
clared he would ''sooner die than take
an Office fraudulently obtained" They
knew Of the interviews with the sex
tons of burial grounds to. reousitate the
dead to quick voters. They knew that thou
sands of Republicans were stricken off the
list. They knew that men were employed to
make duplicate ballot boxes and that when
stuffed, they were to be changed for others!
They knew that in the, country parishes
the. polls were kept in out of the way places,
aud notice of those places kept secret from
pav "a So -,
They knew that in distant parishes, and even
in towns, the colored men were intimidated.
They knew that in some remote parts. of
the country the colored men were told tina.
they would be shot down On their way to
the polls. They knew all this, and much
more yet unwritten, which the heads of the
Fusion party put upon them to deprive
them of their rights. But the proof, posi-
tive and well confirmed, had to be ferreted
out. Let us hope. then. tina: that proof
has been Obtained on ','.a -
Governor Kellogg knew enough Of the
frauds committed against him to resist SO
Infamous a usurpation OF power as was
attempted by the MeEpelyites. Governor
Kellogg, like a true man TO his party, did
eifectually resist the usurpers, and the
courts, robed in all their authority, hurled
NcEnery and his party into confusion. -
To Governor .helloggs Intelligence, en-.
ergy and perseverance,. the Republican
party owes its being placed in possession of
its rights, and to the utter defeat of one of
the deepest laid schemes for party usurpa-
tion and fraud ever enacted by tile people

AT last paragraph of about twenty or
thirty lines appears in the st. Louis Globe
falling like a bombshell in the midst of
these honest and incorruptible politicians.
They know not what to do. or how to
handle the question. Then to the rescue
comes the Herald. But it is too late. That
Etole paragraph of the st. Louis Globe is
now permeating intelligently throughout
the land, and soon will the North and West
resound with cries of shame and contempt
for such men. -.yaurusd 8a. yt.~,g-sl
