Samuel J. Tildsa IL an adept al this
sor. Of game. Hs was at one time the
pupil. and Afterwards the leader. OF
Tamnany Hall. the nost corrupt ring

teach his followers many . little trick
in politics Of which they svsrdrcansd.
He has already taught them how to stun

his own side. But these tactics, though
faithfully szeeutsd. have failed Of shsir
object. and Rutherford b. Hayes il
fairly elected In spite Of them. But the
Of Tildsn in this respect are
insIhaustibls. and no doabt there are
many schemes now on feot 70 secure
the counting in Of Samuel J. Tildsn BY
Congress ON the 18th OF nsIt February.
One Of these schemes 70 light
this morning. Il Is said that Gov.
Irwin has autographed that be will not
certify 10 the appOintmsnt Of the electors
OF California. because he has discovered
grra, frauds perpstrat'd BY the Rspub-
licans In the election. Precisely what
Gov. Irwin has got 10 do With . national
election in California. or exactly hos u.
gained possession Of his wonderful
knowledge Of these alleged frauds"
we do not pretend to say. We know
that he demanded the batotboIos Of
San Francisco. and that shs Democratic
Board OF Supervisors refused. very
properly. 70 give them to him. But
all this amounts to nothing. II he re-
fuses to give the electors certificates. the
State will b thrown out In the election.
thus ~dsprivins Hayes and Wheeler Of
sir electoral votes. aud leaving them but
l79, instead Of the ls5 now claimed for
them.
1t il fortunate that this scheme Of
Democratic "rsform" has developed
itself 80 early. It gives Republicans =
chance TO eountsraet. u they cannot pre-.
vsntit. On u part this election has
been conducted fairly and ~squarsly. and
We have no notion OF being svindl.d out
Of the legitimate fruits Of sur victory.
The devil, however. must BE- fought With
the devils own weapons. and in this In
stance We can uss these weapons much
more honestly. and much more stisstu-
ally than tho devil himself, Rest as
sursd. 10 they are lsvellsd against US.
We. too. shall use them.
Two Of the seventeen States which
are claimed a. certain for Tildsn and
Hendricks are ruled BY Republican Gov
srnors. They are North Carolina and
Mississippi. and tn. two cast an Gle eto-
raj ,ots Of eighteen. three times that Of
Caifornis. and six more than the COM
binsd electoral votes OF California. Ore
eon and Ssvada. the only three Repub-
lican States which have q Democratic
Governor. We warn Governor Irwin
and the Democratic party that 10 any At
tempt to carry out this eou,smptible
scheme OF fraud is made. the Rspubli.
cans will meet them on their own
ground. You ean throw out ysur three
States. We can throw out North Caro-.
lima and mississippi on good grounds.
and the result will DO that Rutherford
u. Hayes will have q majority OF siI
more than we now claim for him. II
disappointment has not rendered the
Democrats utterly insane. they will DO
