Ia view Of the immense popular majority
which Gov. Ti.dcu has received, in view of his
great gains every such as, flr instance,
a gain iu New York Of $4,000 votes over Mr..
Greeley 10 1872 and or IO6. 900 votes over his
own vote for Governor in lS74-the persistent
claim Of the Republicans that the Democratic
iuaIri,,cs 10 South Carolina. FLORIDA and Loui-
siana must be due TO fraud is impertineut in
the highest degree There was a tidal wave
all over the Uaion Of revolt against the con-
touatiOu Of Graatism Why should not that
revolt have made itself FELT ia these southern
States, which have suffered al the grinding
tyranny Of the Grant ru,c, and are the only
Southern States that have not thrown OF the
yoke Of the ,1rpet-basgers The ingenious
newspaper writers who are trying to prove that
these States ought to have gone Republican,
and therefore did not 50 Republican, are rely
iug. not on tie facts Of to-day, Tut upon the
census reports Of Lalia-duzen years ago
There is no valid reason why these
States should 60 Republican there
are countless reasons why they should have
gone Democratic. The Republicans have rob
bed the people Of these States without regard
to the color line in the census reports. Their
STAT. debts have been doubled, trcJlod and
qualrupled, the property Of the citizens has
been coudscatci by taxation, and the poor ne
gro has suffered as much from this as Tie rich
white man. The only prospect Of rescue was
by the help Of The Democratic party aud black
aad white alike voted TO take IT,
But This is not the only occasion Of late
when the Republican party has raised the cry
Of fraud, knowing the charge to be false
Just before the election The papers were FILED
with charges Of fraujulentregistr in New
York There were thousands Of repeaters on
the rolls. and there were 20 be gigantic frauds
so as to steal the State for Tilieu Tue cleo
ton was held, and more than a million vo,es
were cast in the State. Gov. Tildcn gained
10000 votes on his own enormous vote 10
1874. And yet not q single case Of fraudulent
voting has been proved Aud what is more
no Republican paper las ycutured to charge
fraud since this overwhelming vote yiUdicatoC
GOV. Tilden. The only difference between tht
cry Of fraud that was raised 10 New Iorb
aud that which is now raised 10 the South is
that the one was started TO overawe the votes
and the other to cover a dishonest count. II
