The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-12-07

The Republicans and Democrats agree
as to the members Of the next Congress
from twenty-eight States. In these
States the Republicans have 80 members
of the Forty fifth Congress, and the
Democrats 123. In the other States
the Republicans claim 81 members,
while the Democrats concede them only
As. But the Democrats allow only two
Republicans in California, whereas we
have with Pacheco) three they allow
only three in Missouri, while We have
with Metcalf) four they assume that
a Republican Congr assman has not been
elected in Colorado, which is against the
fact, and they have the impudence to
claim one Congressman in Iowa, where
ali are Republicans. The Republicans,
leaving out New Hampshire, Louisiana,
and Florida, have 1876 members, and the
Democrats 146, counting the eleven
members in the three States named in
the doubtful list. The Republicans
claim three in Louisiana, two in Florida,
and two in New Hampshire. This would
make the House stand 143 Republicans
to 80 Democrats.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-12-07

THE Democrats have told us repeated
~ that the ''outrages'' occurring in
Louisiana, Mississippi and other South
ern States we're call in our eye''-tllat
they had never occurred in fact, and
were reported for political purposes only.
The incident happening before the
Louisiana returning board, recently, in
the examination of the woman Pinkston,
on which occasion ex-Gov. Palmer, of
Illinois, stated in an excited speech that
the counties where such crimes were
perpetrated and the perpetrators allowed
to go unpublished fought to be sunk in
hell and showed by his words that the
atrocious crimes committed by the Dem
ocratic bull-dozers IN that State shocked
him greatly, is one evidence that such
outrages were perpetrated and thousands
of negroes in Louisiana alone were de-
TERED from voting through fear. The
fact that Mr.. Palmer is an especial pet
of the Democratic party of the North
west, and that he went to Louisiana to
satisfy himself OF the true merits of the
case, is an argument in behalf of white
and coiored Republicans of that and
other States which must receive great
weight and greatly strengthen the belief
that if Mr.. Tilden occupied the Presi-
dental chair, he would be placed there
through the fundamentally of the bowie
knife and revolver. Nor is the case above
cited an unusual one. Any man who looks
over the returns from the SoutherrStates
must admit that some great power was
exercised to prevent the polling of Re-
publican votes. Look at Georgia, foI
instance Is it possible that in six whole
counties there was not one Republican
who, if left to his own free choice, with
out the fear Of being ruined in his bust
ness prospects, or of endangering his
own personal safety, would not have
cast his ballot for the National Republi-
can ticket2 Why was it that in the
county of Lowndes, Mississippi, which
heretofore has been good for 800 Re
publican majority, there was not sin
gle Republican vote returned? How
has the Republican majority of 1900 in
the county of Yazoo, in the same State,
been entirely destroyed, and the total
Republican vote been Whitfield down to
two? What has happened in East Fe-
iieiana, Louisiana, that has changed a
Republican majority of, 800 to vote of
only three There is no way that these
questions can be nationally answered ex-
cept by imputing tne causes of these
charges to the practice of the grossest
frauds and the most outrageous acts of
intimidation. They are totally unae-
eountabie upon any other theory. Ball
doing has done its work III these places
most notably, and has shown its per-
suasive powers over the entire Southern
States

The action of the Louisiana and Flor
ida Returning Boards in declaring fer
the Hayes electors, has at last settled
the question as to who shall succeed Mr..
Grant as President of the United States
In Florida the Hayes electors have $50
majority, and III Louisiana, from 3, 4437 to
1867. AS certificates had been issued
20 the Republicans IN South Carolina,
this virtually settles the CONTROVERSY as
far as the electors and their duties are
concerned. What efforts viii be made
by the Democrats to prevent the inau-
gurion IF Ir. Hayes can only be con-
iectured but from present indications
no effort will be spared to set aside the
verdict of the people and put their can
didates in, and from now until the 4th
of next March we expect lively times in
and about Washington. Several parishes
in Louisiana were thrown out by the
Returning Board for the reason that
violence and intimidation were resorted
to to prevent Republicans from voting,
and the 'sbuIl dozers" in those localities
are brought to understand that their
villainies were unavailing to make their
friend and sympathizer Mr.. Grants sue
cessor. OF course unanimous, long
continued howl from the Democratic
press is in order now but we have ex-
pected it and are prepared, for while up
holding the wisdom of law passed to
prevent bloodshed and violence by al
lowing the returning board to pass upon
all returns, we admit that the law under
which this right exists, and by virtue of
which the Board acted, was originally
passed by Democratic legislature.

E1-SENAIoRs CARL SEIZURE, John B.
Henderson and other prominent men of
st. Louis, have forwarded a letter to the
President of the United States Senate,
relative to the counting of the electoral
vote, with the request that he lay it be-
fore the Senate. They say the present
condition of the country calls for some
action which will settle the political dis
quietude. The clause il the Constitu-
ton, respecting the canvassing of the
the electoral votes, is quoted and pro-
nounced indefinite, and liable to diverse
construction. The attempt to canvass
the vote in the joint session of Congress
is deprecated as certain to raise partisan
issues, and develope a strife which may
prove most disastrous to the country.
The letter then proposes, as the remedy,
that the whole matter shall be transferred
to the Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t is urged that that is the only
tribunal from which fair and unparti-
san decision, one which will satisfy the
whole people, can be obtained. To this
effect, the letter proposes that the two
Houses shall improve the three weeks
preceding Christmas in the forming and
| agreeing upon Constitutional amend
ment placing in the Supreme Court the
| duty of canvassing the electoral vote.
The most of the State Legislatures meet
Immediately after the holidays, when
the amendment could be submitted.
The letter holds to the opinion that the
amendment would be adopted without
delay, so it would be made part of the
Constitution and apply to the present
election. Both of the Presidential can
didates, it is urged, would recognize the
wisdom of this course, and both Rapub-
ican and Democratic Legislatures would
ratiffy. As such an amendment would
take the election out of the Democratic
House, there is no reason to believe that
it would be agreed to, and altogether it
would be dangerous TO place such a great
power in any court. But we admit that
of the many plans submitted to settle
the vexed question now before the peo-
pie, the above is the most reasonable
and perhaps the best.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-12-07

OK Monday, at twelve o'clock, the
second session of the forty-fourth Con-
gress convened at Washington. In the
House the first business was the election
of Speaker, the choice falling upon
Sam Randall on the first ballot BY
reason of the complications now existing
in many states of the nnion, the present
session of Congress will be an important
one, requiring cool heads and real states
manship 10 avoid trouble, not neces-
sarily pending, but easily stirred mp by
heated action. and for this reason we are
disappointed in tine election of Mr.. Ran
dali as Speaker of the House-a man
who, while abundantly able to preside
over that body, is an intensely bitter
partisan who will stand up for his par
ty be it right or wrong.
In the Senate a joint resolution was
introduced recommending the calling Of
q convention to revise and amend the
constitution of the United States-the
principle object to be attained probably
being the doing away with the electoral
colleges and electing the President and
Vice President by direct vote.

IN THENAMEOF REFORM

If the word ssrefor,n" is not hereafter
| forever infamous in this country it viii
not be from any fault of the Democracy.
They have, under cloak of it, attempted
about every infamy known to political
chicane v and outrage. Under the title
@ :, mer" they put up for President
.4ickster in politics and a sharper in
business. In the name Of reform they
have broken up republican meetings,
scared Republic voters from the polls,
forced others to vote the Democratic
ticket, and others they have MANNED OF
murdered. In at least four states they
turned the election into mockery, and
made the ballot, which is the constitu-
tional means for expressing the popular
will, the instrument for defeating that
will. In the name of reform they
have tried to prevent the full vote
of Nebraska and Oregon, which plainly
gave yerdicts for the Republican candl-
dates, from being cast for Hayes and
Wheeler. In the name of '<reform they
are now trying to prevent Colorado,
which has regularly complied with all
the requirments for admission as state
from being admitted to representation
in Congress, and so casting her vote for
President-and only because it has re-
corded its verdict in favor of Hayes and
Wheeler. In the name of s'reform 1t
has been hunting the courts, hoping
to take advantage of some technically
and thus gain vote for their sham can
didate for President. In the name of
reform they have bullied returning
officers and threatened their lives, in the
hope of soaring them into counting their
states for Tilden. In the name of ''re-
FORM" they have made false returns, de-
stroyed ballot boxes, and murdered
those in charge Of them. In the name
of ''Refor-n" they now threaten reyolu-
ton unless their candidates are made
President and Vice President, no mat
ter though a majority of the electoral
votes are against them. In the name OF
'Reform' and 'spurifacticn ofpoltics"
they have piled mountains of abuse and
SANDER upon their opponents regard
less Of previous good reputation, and
have resorted to the use of men as the
agents for accomplishing their purposes
whom they have previously denounced
as the scum of the earth, and whose char
acters were so bad that none would de-
fend them. L. sort, under the banner
of reform they have perpetrated more
knaveries than were ever before witness
ed in our politics.
The worst feature of ali this is that
people of intelligence and honest pur-
poses pretend to see nothing alarming or
infamous in all this discrepancy between
profession and action, but profess to
look for something better from the COM
ing into power Of such party. If the
questions involved were not so serious,
this stupedous FARGO and those who pre-
tend to believe in its ostensible end
might well elicit the mirth of the nation

II. Il. STEVENS, ESQ;
Dear sir--I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in of Scrofula,
rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh and ether
diseases of kindred nature. l make no hesitation in
saying that E7loao VEGETINE &c be the reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Gatarrh for many
years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that could hear of,
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ualy growing worse, and the discharge from the
head was excessive and very offensive
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; l could see that she was improving
the second bottle. She continued taking the VEG
until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties. am now happy IN informing you and the
public Gf yon choose to make it public that she is
entirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy
and would advise all suffering humanity try it. for
believe it to De good, honest vegetable medicine
and shall not hesitate to recommend it,
1 am, &C., respectfully,
l.. c. CiRDELL.
