There are some good counters IN
both parties; but the history of such
institutions as the Returning Board
in Louisiana would perhaps demon
strate that the audacity of superior
genius IN counting candidates in
TO Office is on the Republican side.

that figures are no great obstacle

the supremacy of 3 party. If only
the figures age for Tilden and the
returning boards and county can
vassers and people of that sort in
some States are resoluteiy for

vote cast that dust enough may be
raised to cover some great tTansac-

"Yo GU can bet your bottom dollar
on Louisiana for Hayes" was Ke
logg's salutation to John A. Logan
by telegraph, on yesterday. AS q
matter of fact, the dispatch con
veyed no new information for it has
been well understood that Kellogg
had arranged TO have Louisiana re-
turned for Hayes, no matter how the
people voted. The machinery for
frauds of that kind in Louisiana is
perfect, Kellogg having control of
the board of canvassers, who, under
the Infamous laws of the State, are
authorized 20 throw out the votes
of any precincts that may stand in
the way of the desired return. New

Hayesites hereabout not to ''bet
their bottom dollar in the manner
indicated, until the result of the
popular vote as cast-not as re
turned by the canyassers-is known.

tempt to carry out their scheme, in
the event that the Louisiana vote
might decide the election, there
might be an appeal to higher pow

of their judgment by a court of
chancery before whose DEGREES the
most audacious scoundrelism must
needs bow in dumb submission.
