Jubilant in Quiet Way-A ter tho Post
master
CHICAGO, Nov. ia I mes Wash
ington special says: The Democrats
in Il quiet way are very jubilant over
their prospects. Nothing can prevent
Tiiden's success now. Senator Thur
man telegraphs here to-day that he
had heard that one of the Republican
electors in Oregon is a postmaster,
and asked that al examination of the
records in the department. be made.
This request was complied with, When
it was discovered J. w. Watts, the
elector mentioned, is still a postmas-
ger at Lafayette. This, with the Ver-
ment elector, who is also postmaster,
leaves oui two votes for Hayes that
cannot be filled. The Governor of
California has discovered such enor-
nous frauds as to MIGHT'VE all of the
Republican majority now claimed.
He has made the discovery that $500
Democratic votes were taken bodily
out OF the ballot boxes. 1t is claimed
that Oregon is now held back to see
what the administration has to do in
the South. There is not a Democra-
tic leader here that does not ,epel
with horror any idea that Oregon
could be held back for any such pur-
pose, but all think that if the game of
fraud is to be played the opposition
will not see itself beaten when it is
sure Of its hand, and, upon the priu-
ciple that all is fair in war, they will
charge bodily ahead to assume the
reins OF government. The Democra-
tic leaders are all on guard, and not
ing carefully every movement of the
enemy. The latter are now hipped,
and even if they should be successful
in counting in South Carolina, Louis
lana and Florida, they will still have
1 etween them aud the White House
the impossible mountain barriers of
the missing electoral votes in Oregon
and Vermont, with California rejected
on account OF frauds.
