that :IOne OF them could tell how II

opinion as to the result, and THIS Is
Just about all that amy one can truth

The vote of Florida has been
cast for Hayes To say that it has
deceived any one would imply a
lack of Intelligence, for no sooner
was the announcement made that
her returns were democratic on the
face, than the counter announce
ment was furnished that it should
he cast against Gov. Tilden. Mark
you, the conspirators needed only
nineteen votes and they steal just
that number. Such economy among
thieves has seldom been eXempli~
fed, and it must be set down to the
credit of Grant and Chandler that
they steal States only when pressed
10y necessity and only that extent.
In Louisiana they have made their
majority large in proportion to the
outrage implied, Gov. Tilden had
ten thousand; 50 they gave Hayes
four thousand. In Florida they
were content to he nearly as modest
as the triumph of the Democrats
was moderate. What lies ahead in
the action of Congress no one can
now see. The leading Republican
Senators have not yet disclosed
their policy. The only known
