DANIEL L. DOWNS ELECTED ELEO-
TOR.

Any one holding an office under
the United States is not eligible TO
the office of elector of President and
Vice President. J. Ell. Miner hav-
irg been nominated for elector and
having accepted the office of post
master resigned the nomination for
eIector and the State Central Com
mittee substituted Daniel J.. Downs.
Notwithstanding the change and
the notification Of it the Secretary
State sent to the Canvassing Boards
blanks for returns with J. IL.
Miners name in place of Daniel l..
Downs printed in them. And
some of the Canvassing Boards filled
ont the blanks without erasing
Miners name and inserting Downs
thus taking votes from Downs. In
Waushara County there were 1850
votes cast for Downs and not a vote
for Miner. And yet the Board OF
County Canvassers certified that J.
III. Miner had received 2C80 votes,
by negIecting to erase the name
Miner and insert the name Downs as
they did on the tabular side Of the
same blank. Some 1000 votes were
in similar way taken from Downs
and given to Miner. That there
would be waY.to have these votes
properly certified and given to
Downs may be unquestjonable. but
it would cause delay and much ex-
pense. Fortunately Downs has a
majority of 1900 or more without
them. So the last hope of the
Democracy of carrying even one
electoral vote of Wisconsin for Eli
den even by trickery must be relin.
guished. The 10 electoral votes Of
Wisconsin will be given for Hayes
and Wheeler.

Practically It probably makes no dl1feT-
ence which. Judge White Of the Circuit
Courthss issued an injunction restraining
Gov. Stearns from canvassiug the returns
of the electoral vote and mandlmus re-
curing the Board of Canvassers to oegIn
the count. There is a provision OF law
in Florida that the car 7ass is not to be
made before the expiration of fhirty-hve
days unless the returns are all recelYs /.
AS the returns are not all received the
Board intend 10 delay, but it seems that
Judge White orders hem to begin. The
Democrats have been clamorOus for the
canvass to begin, and it is believed their
object is TO get the vote Of the returns
received, so as to be able to manipulate
the returns yet in Democratic hands so
as to give he election to the Democracy
That South Carolina, Florida ana
Louisiana have been carried for Hayes
and Wheeler is becoming more evident
every day. But what will finally be de-
cded by the Courts and the Returning
Boards remains to be determined. And
what the ultimate result will be is yet in
the future. The people must be patient
a little longer--perhaps long time
longer. We believe that in due time the
right will gain the ascendancy over
wrong and that Hayes Will be declared
elected President.

HOPES TO SECURE ONE ELECTORAL
VOTE FOR TILDEN,
He NAV lose six electoral votes,

1T uIdy 1OSO OAA OAC3bOAeSL VVoVo'
The hopes of the Democracy to secure
one electoral vote for Tilden, in case the
three disputed States should 60 for
Hayes. are laugbable. They made the
discovery tina: one ofthe Vermont electors
was postmaster and ineligible for
elector, and then that The same was the
case with one of the Oregon electors, and
they clsimed that this would elect the
Democratic electors having the highest
votes They did not seem to know that
United States officer by resigning before
declared elected or receiving official
notice of appointment became eligible.
They next found that some Canvassing
Boards in Wisconsin through neglect to
erase Miners name and insert Downs II
the blanks for electors were taking
many votes from Downs SO that the
certificates Of election on their face might
defeat Downs, and in that case they
claimed that the Democratic elector hav
ing The highest vote would be elected +.
But It turned out that Downs, notwith-
standing the loss of 1000 or more votes,i
elected by 1900 or more.
What they will get up next remains t.
be seen. They are fruitful ia expedienIs
and will resort to anything TO secure one
vote for TIlden. However fEuitless their
efforts have been thus far to accomplish
their purpose somegood has resulted from
them. They nave led 10 investigation

ana It is found til It at least six of then
have never had their disabilities remoV-
ed. Here is something for them t

county to be still true to the Demo
cracy. AT the State election last
month there was not single Radl-
cal vote polled in the county. In
the voting last Tuesday there were
two voted at this precinct, by whom
is unknown; and it is well, perhaps
that the two creatures who attempt
ed 10 dim our bright escutcheon
shonld remain unknown. The two
Radical votes may have been polled
by negroes, but we do not know.
About 10 o'clock large number of
negroes, about two hundred IN all,
marched into town from the negro
settlement IN procession. They
came, doubtless, with the intention
Of voting the Radical ticket. They
marched up to the railing around the
Court House and halted. They
stood around for about half an hour,
looking confused and sheepish. They
were no doubt ashamed of them selves
A few white men were among them
and talked with them, but could get
nothing out of them. Some OF the
crowd had curiosity to see a Hayes
and Wheeler ticket, and tried to
find one among these negroes. but
they failrd, as not darkey would
show his ticket. Finally they
withdrew in good order, but looked
very foolish"

WHO Is PRESIDENT ELECT 2

Election was held two weeks ago to-day
Tuesday and on the night of that day
all were anxious to hear the election
news in hopes of learning enough to de-
termine who was elected President. The
Democrats had their arrangements made
so complete and strong to carry the South
Solid aud New YORK, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Indiana and Wisconsin that they
felt certain the next morning that they
had carried the election and elected
Tilden, aud some Republicans were
almost ready to acknowledge defeat.
But as election news came in there came
g change. Wisconsin was shown By early
returns to have gone for Hayes and
Wheeler, and the Republicans Of South
thet those states had broken from the
Solid South and had gone for Hayes and
Wheeler. Immediately the Bulldozipg
White Liners set to work to prevent the
returns from Republican parishes
reaching the State Canvassers by destroy
ing them and the ballot boxes. And
Immediately Tilden emisary started
from New York, followed by others, it was
believed, with bar'ls Of money, prepared
20 accomplish by manipulation and
money what they had failed to accomplish
by intimidation and the shot gun, and
might fail to accomplish By destroying
ballot boxes and the returns from
Republican parishes or by changing and
falsifylng the returns from Democratic
parishes. Naturally returns would be
slow of coming in from the distant parts
of those states where there are neither
railroads nor telegfaphs. And IN addi-
ton TO this it is believed that returns are
being withheld from Democratic parishes
IN Florida and Louisiana waiting to mud
out how many votes it will be necessary
toadd to carry those states for the Demo
Gratis
It soon became evident that it would
not Go Tor emisaries from the Moth
without constituency to go to those
states for the purpose of controlling the
canvass, and then the Democratic Cen
trail Committee proposed that men of
good character and standing of both
parties should go to those states and see
that the canvass was fairly conducted,
and the President responded fayorably
TO the proposition - This has resulted
10 committee of six Democrats and
five Republicans being present as tbs

A VOICE From THE SoUrH.-The
following is an extract from letter
written BY leading lawyer Of Missis-
siPpi to . distinguished Democrat in
Washington. II is believed to contain
. fair statement Of the average feeling
and opinion in the South on the poiiti-
cal question. The writer says:
take Il for granted thst all the
Southern States, except South Carolina
and, posssbiy. Florida, will vote for the
nominee of the Democratic party. with
out much regard to his views on the
financial question simply because to
them the Southern States) Q change Of
administration, with all that implies. il
Of more consequence than the question
Of" gold and silver, or greenbaeks"-
important as they recognize the latter IN
be. This will give Us f27 electoral votes
to start with, and, ~ ls5 il q maiority.
there will be only S. more necessary IN
order 10 succeed. To most Northern
people it would no doubt have the ap-
pearance of political heresy To state that
any question is Of more importance than
the one Of finance. Be that as IL nav,
1t Is none the less true, as regards Us Of
the South. II the North knew the sit
uation Of the South, especially, If they
had feh it as we have, for wears, they
would, perhaps, look at the matter as
We do.
