The oregon Rascality UnraveIled.
At Washington among republican
members of Congress, the Oregon
trick is so clearly checkmated that it
will not make ripple in the count by
the President of the Senate. A spe.
cial to the Chicago Tribune Of the Stl
inst. says:
Sagacious men, looking more care
fully at the facts in the Oregon cleo
ton, soon perceived
A FATAL FLAW
in the democratic case and claim that
it is by no means certain that the re.
turns opened by the President of tho
Senate will show vote for Tilden
The Governor of Oregon issued ,
certificate that Cartwright and Odell
republicans, and Cronin, democrat
were the lawful electors. This Ger
tificatc Cronin put in his pocket
He organized himself as the Electora
College, moved that he fill the tw'
vacancies, put the vote to himself, de
clared it carried, elected two demo
Gratis, and made up return of on
vote for Tilden and two for Hayes
which he will bring on himself t
Washington and deliver to the Presi
dent of the Senate. The two genu
inc Electors met, found majority O
the Electoral College present, file
the one vacancy,
CAST THE VOTE FOR HAYES
in accordance with the verdict of tn
people, and made up legal return i
form. The President of the Senat
will open both the returns; he wi
find in the fraudulent one the certif
cate of the Governor. By this certif
cate he will learn who are declare
to be the Electors. He will then re
fer to the conflicting returns to asccr
tain which comes from a majority Q
the Electors thus certified to. Tha
return he will present to be counted
the other will be treated as o nullity
There will be no gong behind til
certificate, because the certificate il
self whenever found, will show
WHICH is THE GENUINE RETURN
and which the fraudulent one. tn
circumstance that this certificat
comes inclosed in the false return j
not important. 1t is perhaps all tn
better TINT it should be SO, for it ex
poses the fraud which it was hoped j
would conceal. The truth is, tn
democratic fraud is lame and impo
tent. 1t accomplishes nothing but t
make plain and obvious the aim G
the majority OF those who original
ed and those who defend it. Repul
licans now understand this clearl,
and are not at all troubled at this las
desperate trick of their opponents.

1t is now but little over four years
since the death of Horace Greeley,
and the paper which he founded and
most of the Liberals who went of
with him, seeking reform in the dem.
ocratic party, arc again back in the
fold. Had Horace Greeley lived un.
til the campaign of 1876, do you think
he would have supported Tilden
whom he denounced as thief and q
ballot-box suffer in 1868 or would
he have supported the soldier, patriot
and statesman, Hayes?
The action of his old Tribune and
that of the great bulk of his old per-
sonal friends, leaves no doubt on thi.
question.

On the 9Th instant, a bronze bust,
on a granite pedestal, was erected
over the remains of Horace Greeley
at Greenwood Cemetery.

printers throughout the country. Mr..

tional Typographical Union, made
the presentation speech, while E. c.

ard Taylor an grafton.
The following three stanzas are the
most noticeable parts Of Mr.. Stcd
mans poem:
4 He lives wherever men to men
| In perilous hours his words repeat,
Il Where clangs the forge, where glides the pen
| Where toll and traffic crowd the street;
Il Andtn whatever time or place len
| Eafth's purest souls their purpose strength
Down the broad pathway Of our race
The shadow OF his name shall lengthen
What more Is left, to keep our holi
| On him who was so tf1ie and strong2
This semblance, raised above the moi.l
With offerings meet of word and song.
That men may teach, in aftertime,
Their sons how goodness marked his feature
Of one whose life was made sublime
by service for his brother creatures.
And last, and lor,llest, his fame
A station in the starry line
