The Hillsborough recorder., 1876-12-13

What has been anticipated for some
wccks past has been at length perfected,
And Sonih Caroline. Florida aud Louisiana
are coua,ed in for Hayes. giving him ma
jority of one in the electoral college. it no
flaw is found in any eleotor from any other
State.
A more fragrant violation Of fact and
right. and a more Aagrant defiance Of truth
4 aud esideOce was never before exhibited BY
men in whose veins runs the blood Of the
Anglv Saxon. Political tactics worthy Of
Mexico for the first tine,- At least on broad
national scale, have been made the wea-
poAs Of AMERICAN policy, and the real utte-
I. rance Of the ballot box has been stifed, or
distorted to'speak the voice Of party.
risThe national administration went into
- tilis contest with Individual states deter

ibgs Of Law; and. with all hestrergth that
control Of place and power gayeit. to run a
= Blibtl .tIlt sgilost those eauVraf forces that.
up to the present di.g,acefpl era, have been
potent, to secure at least the forms Of law,
and ths observance Of precedents.
The administration has won--for the pres
ent. Its armies have given. not moral,
but brute strength, to the infamous tools
who manipulated ballot boxes with imPuni-
ty. and 3araded nablushiugly the result Ol
- their infamous frauds.
But while nominally asserting the success
oftheir schemes. they must be aware that
they have only half attained their object.
They know, that if satisfactory to them
selves. their every act has been watched,
and they are already pilloried before ths
world IS cheats and seoundrels. How can
they expect their work 70 stand the scruti
ny, not alone Of the Democratic Congress
but Of their own party friends.
For Il must not be forgotten BY Ou
friends. apt to fall into despondeney at th'

that the business interests of the couDtr

will acquiesee 10 the peaceful recognitio
Of even The hostile claims Of Mr. Tildcn
rather than accept the more than dubiol
ones of Mr.. fIayes.
There Is everywhere moral convictio
that Mr. TiIdeu i fairly entitled % ii

HAYES. The time is rapidly approacbiu
when more august; more impartial. sn
