the blacks were put down several years
ago, tie Democratic minority OF So,9 !"

the negroes could vote rs they desire. In
Mississippi TIE Dem,ccatic majority Of
~. 900 would be turned into Republican
majority of 10000, if the State were not
under complete control Of the White
Liners. The Democratic majorities in
| Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,

| cans were not cowed and cheated on all

large part of the country has been over

ticket at the risk of their lives. But II
there be any disposition to decide the
merits of the contest on the basis OF in
tciligcnce, peaccabeness, Industry, patri
otism, taxation md substantially, Il
may be suggested that Tilden has carried
only four Northern States, and those by
small majorities. Hayes has received l6t
ELECTORAL votes and Tildcn only 65 in the
Northern, Eastern, and Western States
while in the Confederate bull dozed State:
Hayes will have only 10 Elector al vote!

Size Last Democratic Plot.

Yesterdays proceedings in the House at
Washington disclosed the last desperate
plot OF the Democracy. Ii is to refuse to
recognise Colorado % n State and thus
keep it out of the Electoral College,
which would elect Tildcn. The prelim-
mary step was taken in refusing to swear
in the new member from Colorado, and
il referring 70 the ia !riary Committee a
resolution questioning the Legitimacy Of
Colorado us II state. After sharp de-
bate the resolution WAS referred by Il vote
of 142 to IS all the Repaid cans and
Nfteen Democrats, among them Cox, l1ol-
man, and WStlcrson, Of the leaders of
the PARTY, voting in the negative.
This scheme shows the desperate strait
md the feeble hope to which the Demo
eracy have come. 1t will not work. Col
Grad, perfected its State org imitation,
under the pro- r laws, and the President
has issued proclamation declaring it Il
State. TiIr Senate has already admitted
its two Senators to their seats in thai
body. Its Electoral vote will be sent tc
tnc President Of the Senate, who vii
open and count it, with regard only tt
the law and without regard to any fac
tiouspt SIS or the part of the House. Tina
will settle the Colorado matter, and de
feat tn" plot. Besides, there are tworrc
ocdcnts in Congress plainly against thin
last ana most frantic scheme Of a defeat
cd party.
The country can see by tie invention
of such desperate resources as this which
begins its life with the disapprovnl o
some of the leaders of lis own part,
weighing It down, how little real a I
honest hope or belief the Democratic
party have IN the election of Tildcn
Gnmmy's is gone case. The Drmocrac,
know it, and tomorrow will prove it,

The Popular Majority.

The Democrats are disposed to lay great
stress upon the popular majority with
which Mr.. Tildcn is acc edited on the
aggregate of the returns as they were
actually cast. Some of them 20 so far as
TO say that he has received a larger pop
ular majority than anybody who ever
run for president. This is sheer non
sense. To 90 no further back than the
last three Presidential elections VIC find
that Lincoln's majority over Mcclellan
was aO7 ,342, Grants overSeymour 8 5, 45s,
and Grants over Greeley 1872 SOL. Til
den's popular majority asgreturned will
not reach 800. 900. OF course the popular
majority cuts no figure in the election,
which depends upon the majority in the
Electoral College, but we protest against
The assumption that the apparent popu-
] II majority which Tilden has received
should carry any weight with it, for the
-i,nple reason that he would not have had
it il there had been full, free, and fair
election in the Southern States where the
majority vas obtained
1t is needless to deny that Tic Rcpub]i
cans have lost large part of the enor-
nous majority which they have com
,nanded ever since the War began. The
elections two years az, showed this. At
the Erecent election some of the lost
ground was regained, but yet many Re-
nublicans voted for Tilden some in pro
test against certain corrupt elements in
the Republican party, and some misled
by the shrcwd reputation for reform
which had beer spread in behalf of Til
~sn. Attic same time the apparent ma
.iority 81 the popular vote which Tilden !
has received docs moi in any honest sense !
