THE Ne" York 7iasss aud Republican
newspapers generally DOW admit that
Brooks was legally elected Governor of Ar
kansas, in the fall or 1872, and that Baxter
was Illegally counted into office. If that
is so then Horace Greeley was cheated out
of the vote ofthat State. Both Brooks and
Baxter are Republicans, but Brooks led
the Liberal and Democratic State ticket
and supported Greeley, while Baxter was
the Graut casdidate. There seems to be
neither shore nor bottom to the sea of cor
rlption which has been sweeping over GER
