HOW CHAMBERLAIN OCTWITTED

Before the election, Gov. Chamberlain
demanded troops Of the president on the
ground that their presence was neces-
sary to fair election. They were sent
to him, although his request was not &C.
companied by any adequate proof of the
statements Of violence he made in sup
port of it. The troops were stationed in
every part OF the state where the COVER

The election was fair and honest. No

THE NEGRO DEMOCRATIC WORE

Various ingenious Republican writer's
are endeavoring to show that the number
Of Republican votes ought to have been
greater in certain portions OF the south
ern states, because the negro population
is greater than the reported Republican
vote. They assume that the census re-
ports tell us exactly what the Republic
can vote is. Their error Is in supposing
that the negroes are unanimously Re-
publican. The truth is, that the negro
Democratic vote is growing every year.
The negro is finding out that his inter.
ests are better guarded by his former and
present employers than by carpet-bag
thieves. He IL finding out that the south.
ern whites are honest, and mean to deal
fairly with him. He is finding out that
the carpet-baggers and the general run OF
the Republican politicians in the South
are thieves. The Freedman's Savings
Bank failure opened his eyes, and the fire.
quent con1scation OF cOlored mems prop
erty for taxes stolen by the carpet-bag-
gers, has served to keep them open. The
spectacle Of poor negro going about
with a subscription paper. asking for
small sums to keep his little patch Of
ground from being sold from under him
Tor taxes, has been a familiar one in
South Carolina in the past year. The ne
groes know who levy these oppressive
taxes. and who steal them, and they have
ceased to be solid tor the Republican
party. This is what the election OF Wade
Hampton and the electoral vote for Til
den mean in South Carolina, and what a
Democratic victory in Florida means. AS
or Louisiana, that has been Democratic
for four years. though it has been counted
Republican. So, when your Republican
friend talks negro census TO you, tell him
that the census was taken SIX years ago,
and that since that time the color line
has been broken. a. ii should be.

A REPUBLICAN, ooNrEssIoN THAT
THEY HAVE LOST LOUISIANA.

The Louisiana correspondent oil the
New York Tribune tells the whole story
when he says thatS'thc Republicans do
not deny that a majority of the votes ac-
tually polled arc against them. but they
assert that under the law they will be
able 10 prove that several parishes were
carried by the Democrats 10y intimida-
ton and violence. and that when the
votes from these parishes are rejected, as
they will be legally. Hayes aud Packard
will be found to have carried the state. =
In other words, history is to be COM
PEELED to repeat Itself In 1872, "a ma
iority OF the votes actually polled" was
against the Republicans: yet the Repub-
lican ticket was counted in. In 1874, "a
majority OF the votes actually polled'
was again against 1t. and again il was
counted in. The independent press of
the north each time denounced this out
rage upon the suffrage : and the United
States senate, seryile as it is. refused TO

Now this great crime is to be committed

publican president. The same machi-
merry that has been twice used 10 defeat
the will Of the people of Louisiana is
now 10 be used to defeat the will OF the
people of the whole country. Do Mr..
Chandler and Mr.. Blaine suppose tina,
tho people OF either section will submit
TO it: They have elected Mr.. Tilden
president, and they expect 10 see the
office vacated to make room for him al
the time prescribed by the constitution.
Do Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Blaine sup
pose that the great northern common

ticut ana New Jersey will not do all that
they eau legally do to see that their cleo.
toral votes are not nullliied by fraud at

Gov. TILDEN Is the man Of Destiny.
When he was announced as a candidate
for the nomination for governor. every
politician predicted that he would never
receive it. He got by atwo-thirds vote.
Then they predicted his defeat. lie was
elected by over $4,000 majority. Then
they predicted that the delegation from
his own state would not support him for
the presidency. The delegation was
unanimously instructed Tor him, and
unanimously voted tor him. A disas-
trous failure to receive the nomination
was the next prediction. He was norni-
mated on the second ballot by two.
thirds vote. Then his overwhelming
defeat was the next prophecy. He re-
ceived popular majority of 400, 600, and
two hundred and three electoral votes,
and ii was not until twenty-four hours
after that the Republicans recovered their
balance sufficiently to conceive the
scheme OF fraud they are now maturing.
But not even fraud, backed by the whole
force OF the administration. can keep him
out Of the presidency. His opponents
have invariably been brought to naught
before, and they will be overthrown
again.
