Inat upon the face of the count returns the
lllden electors had majority of all the
votes cast. That the Tilden electors had
thls majority over and above the radical
count after it had been swollen by many
hundred illegal votes through local frauds
and false returns. That the majority declared
for the Hayes electors is a fictitious, false
and fraudulent majority, which the two radi-
cal state eanvassers manufactured by throw
ing out whole democratic precincts and cOun-
lies IN open disregard of facts and with fla
grant violation of law. The committee saw:

and liberties of freemen thus far prosecuted
under cover ofthe arms and the authority of
the federal administration shall be crowned
at the capital with success
