THE RESULT.
No Doubt that Tilden is
Honestly Elected.
But Radicalism Desperately In
tent on Defeating the Popular
Will by Force and Fraud.

Such Is our honest conviction after closely
scanning the returns of Tuesdays election W
to this writing, FRIDAY EVENING" In add
ton to the copious dispatches in yesterdays
Chicago papers, we have carefully scanned
every private" or "fugitive' dispatch thai
was caught from the wires all day yesterday
in this city, most of them without paternity
and all of them worthy of very little reliance
and we have met nothing to impeach the en-
tire accuracy and justice of the following
summing up in yesterdays Times; which
we copy bodily, as expressing what we believe
will find hearty endorsement by every
democrat IN the country:
ELECTORS who will vote for Mr.. Tilden for
president have been lawfully appointed In

the train, on his way to Chicago, and they
seized HIM by main force and compelled
him to stop off, at least until the next train
on the Burlington road, two and a half hours
later. And to this Judge Trumbull finally
assented, repairing at once to the Opera
House, where his arrival was no less pleas.

WoMAN's DAY-The woman's department.
ofthe great centennial show, with quiet irony,
selected election day tor "woman's day" at
the exhibition. Upon which The Men Centu-
rytor Women INDUCES in the following cans-
tic remarks:
Thank sglving day is woman's by right OF
the kitchen altar, and Christmas comes TO her
through the children. In the Fourth OF July
she has complex and varied interests, and on
moving day, rs on ST. Valentines, she is in
dispensablc. But election day has no vel
come Tor her. II is not because she does not
care for the elections, Tor she is too much of
a partisan not To have her own candidates,
but she has nothing to do with the ballot box,
and knows nnly the excitement of waiting for
the returns. Ii they do not come at night
when the master of the house returns, she
waits impaliently for the morning paper, yet
rarely loses her breakfast from either joy or
grief. The election cake has given place to
refreshments she does not brew nor bottle,
and the one thing that has no weight that day
is the woman's choice.

Carlyle, in spite of his general cyniclsm
and habit of free thought, has no taste for
Darwinism. Though now very feeble with
age, his memory is still marvellous, and the
flow OF his tlk-the most marvellous of the
age-ls undated. A London paper gives
recent sample as follows:
have known three generations of the Oar
wins, grandfather, father, and son; atheists
all. The brother of the present famous ma
turalIst, quiet man, who lives not far from
here, told me that among his grandfather's
effects he found seal engraven with this

months ago. told him that | had read his
"Origln of the Species" and other books;
that he had by no means satisfied me that
men were descended from monkeys, but had
gone far toward persuadlng me that he and
his so-called scientific brethren had brought
the present generation of Englishmen very
near to monkeys.
A good sort of man is this Darwin, and
well.meaning, but with very little intellect,
All, it's sad and terrible thing 10 see

FASTEST TRoTTER or ALI--Gen. Wnhers,
the great kentucky breeder OF troi,ing
horses, recently visited Mr.. Bonner's stock
farm nesr Tarry,own, n. Y, and writes to
the Spirit Of he Times that undoubtedly Mr.
Bonncr's stallion Startie is the fastest irotter
the world has yet seen. At Mr.. Wiiher's re-
queit Starile was put to his speed for single
quarter which he made in S9Is seconds, or
at the rate OF a mile in 2:l0; and he did this
while heavy gale was blowing, which the
horse had TO face.

AS already stated, the vote is extremely
close on president, while the democratic
committee at Chicago claim the election OF
Steward for governor and Hise for auditor
There is, however, very little difference be
tween the vote for Tilden and that for Stew

THE MAJORITY.

Whatever may be the result of the late cleo
ton rs to the constitution of the electoral col
legc, there is no doubt that on the popular
vote the democratic party are largely in the
majority, and that Mr. Hayes, II he is finally
inaugurated, will be minority President
We give the popular majorities of the several
states as we find them roughly reported in
the dispatches:
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-11-11

Louisiana ....'......'...'..
Florida. ......'.'...... .''...'.''...
Oregon ....... ............ .'....'''....
As to South Carolina, the latest dispatches
are to the effect that the republicans concede
Hampton's election by from 1900 to $500
but insist that as between Tilden and Hayes
the state is doubtful. The democrats, on the
other hand claim the state both for Hamp.
ton and Tilden.
In Louisiana all parties concede that Til.
den has majority of from 5000 to $4,000;
but there are six parishes, called the "bull.
dog parishes in which the negroes gener-
ally refralned from voting, and IN these the
democratic majority is 1000. There is no
pretence that the negroes were repelled by
force or intimidalion-they SIMPLY preferred
not to vote-and on account Of this failure to
VOTE Kellogg and Packard say these par
ishes will not be counted, and in that way
they expect to give the state to Hayes
Florida the latest dispatches give to the
democrats by 1 800 majority, but the repub-
lcan governor alleges fraud" and will do
his best to give the state to Hayes.
From Oregon, L. +. Lane, democrat, sends
the latest dispatch, saying: "The state is very
close but probably republican"
But to these doubtful states ought also to
be added California and Illinois. According
TO the latest dispatches the republicans claim
California by but 900 majority, while it is
conceded that they poled u large illegal vote
in San Francisco given variously at from
5000 to 5000, and of this an investigation is
to be had, which will occupy couple of
weeks, and the result of it may change the
result In the state.
Illinois was claimed by the republicans
yesterday by but 5000 majority. Returns
reported and official had been received from
50 counties, footing rs follows:

But there are still 40 counties to hear from,
of which all except half dozen are demo
cratic, and these there is reason to hope
will yet give the state to Tilden

FATHER ABRAHAM

we are coming, five hundred thousand
strong" This is what the Northern
soldiers said tG Mr. Lincoln in 1861, and
now Gen. Dix, Chairman of the Uaion
Veterans National Committee, puts the
same words in the mouths of the Boys
in Blue, and tells them to speak thus
to Hayes and Wheeler. The Goth inst
the Union Veterans meet in lndianap-
oils to organize for the pending political
campaign Gen. Dix, in his call to them,
says:
Comrades, sinking all partisan differ
enGes, rally once more to vindicate the
record you made in the war. Organize
now to repeI treason seeking the life Of
your Government by insIdious means, as
you did IN 1851 when armed traitors
sought its overthrow. You are to be the
saviors of your country in this contest
| as you were in time Of war.
The Northern soldiers can thus meet
and sch enc for Hayes and Wheeler
but let the old Confedarate Veterans
meet in coUncil that they may act in
union in the support of Tilden and Hen
bricks, and Grants military pro-oonsuls
would soon overrun the South, and parti-
ton the States into territorial districts
This is freedom in free country indeed
It's all sham, a mockery The South
ern people breathe the air of freemen by
sufferar ce, and dare not claim and de-
mand equal privileges by virtue of con
shtutionai rights That day is passed.
! The Government is now in the agony of
Federal Capitalization and will so remain
until true reconstructing revolution;
such as Tilden proposes, shall have
swept from the deck of the old Ship OF
State the piratieal crew which have well
nigh converted the benign character of
Liberty into a Molooh Of terror. The
tyranny of the present Northern major
ity will yet spend itself like an angry
ocean wave upon the bleak coast Of
| bootless civil discord.
