The following was sent by Hon.
Zach Chandler tonight: can Ad-
dress has been issued by the Demo
cratic Committee--its last desperate
attempt to prop failing cause.
Hayes has been fairly elected by a
clear majority of the electoral vote.
There is no indication that any right
minded citizen has doubt as to the

and audacious attempt to prejudice
and pervert public judgment. Hayes
and Wheeler are elected, and the
will of the American people will be
carried out and maintained.
