NOV. Z, 1876.
Tie following statement, compiled
from the census OF 1870, shows the rela-
tive geographical area, wealth, popula-
ton and intelligence of the Hayes and
Tilden States
Aggregate area of all the States,2,-
0S8, ,967 square miles the real and per-
sonal property, $50, ,s42,77s.4 .448 popu-
iation. SO, ,155, sos; number of persons
who cannot read, 4,444 SOB; number
who cannot write, $3.50, ,311. The
States claimed for Ti!den embrace an
alea of $50, ,237 square miles, with
population of 1874 ,292, possessing
wealth to the amount of s14 ,4G8, ,704,-
81: of this population there are 81
257, 694 who can not read, and 3,67S,-
Gil who cannot write. The States that
have cast their vote for Hayes have All
area of 1 ,23S, ,750 square miles, popu-
lation of 1891, ,213. with wealth ag-
gregating s15, ,s74, ,073, ,572: of this
population there are only 1,1S4,720
who can not read, and 1,575,700 who
can not write.
Hence the States represented IN the
vote of Hayes, ii elected, contain nearly
40O,000 square miles more of territory
than the area embraced in the States
represented by the vote of Tilden. and
nearly s1,O00,000,000 more of the
wealth of the Nation; while those rep
resented by Tilden's vote embrace learly
all the ignorance and consequent crime
OF the Nation, and those represented by
the vote OF Hayes its very highest in
felligence, the noblest culture and learn
ing, as they do its greatest wealth and
taxation, and the largest portion of its
geographical area. by singular per-
versity of things, the vote of Tilden.
the candidate of the men and party who
labor to disfranchise the negro, TO wrest
from him all political power, represents
the great bulk of the negro population,
and Hayes vote a vast majority of the
white population, as it does the land,
the wealth, and the intelligence of the
Republic.
Analyze and run the parallel as you
will, the result is the same: in the rela-
tive number of libraries, public and pri-
vate, and in the number of their vol
umes in the relative number of insti.
tu.ions of learning and school facilities
and attendance, in the relative number
OF authors and works published and
read, and newspapers and periodical!
printed in the relative character o
populations, their relative thrift, indus
try. wealth and morals; under every
analysis and comparison, the dread col
or line of ignorance and crime bound
and darkens the Tiiden States, That
too, while giving Tilden all the adyan
taees of the notorious Democrats

But is he legally entitled to the vote
He carried New York city and its sus
soundings through the terrible frauds G
its vicious classes. The State wa
heavily against him. Thus the city, b
its frauds and crimes, disfranchises tn
legal majority in the State, and Tide
will count its electoral vote as the reI
resentative, not of its legal popular me
iority, but Of its Five Points and il
criminal classes.
In the like manner, and for like res
sons. TiIden will count the electors

cipally in three counties, against the l.

Of New Jersey and Connecticut. oni
carried for him By colonization, fals
naturalization and registration, an
wholesale repeating, violently distTar
chising, as in New York, the legal poi

In the South the violence and frau

even greater cheats. The election, il
