The Attempted Steal of South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana.

lima, Florida and Louisiana.
And now In order to show the hypocricy
of the Pharisee who edits the Gazette, we
take his own language and turn it back
on him thusly:
As to the preciselmethod resorted to by
the scroundrelly returning boards of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana in
their efforts to tsteal for Mr.. Hayes the
votes which the people of those states re-
fused to give him the people of the United
States have been fully informed. The
details of this monstrous attempt to com.
pass rascality unparalleled in the annals
of political crime have been published and
are known to the world. Nothing ear
change the facts; the mediJated larceny o.
the votes of these three states ought not tt
be permitted. 1t would be monstrous, in
deed, if such scroundreiism could at al
succeed There is not and never has beer
any dispute as to the fact that the people
of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
gave clear majority for Tilden ant
Hendricks. That fact is conclusive as t.
the fate awaiting this manifestation OF Re
publican dishonesty and deviltry. No ont
need lie awake nights either in fear OF
hope of the success of crime at once 81
limpudent and so grossly in defiance o
every principle of honesty and justice.
The only question of real moment aEt
interest is, Does Rutherford B, Hayes
sanction such villainy? The sooner tha
gentleman is heard from in emphatic de
NAL, the better for whatever reputation b.
has yet remaining.
