The Desperate Game 10 be Piayed by
the Republicans.
N the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, November IA 1t seems
very certain that the Republican Can
yassine Board of South Carolina will
cou..t that State for Hayes, and that
Florida is claimed by the same means.
The result now depends on the Return.
ing Board of louisiana. 1t the vote is
counted as it was cast, Tilden undoubt-
edly carries the State. If the Demo.
cratic majorities are thrown out on pre-
tense of intimidation of Republicans
who did not vote, Hayes will have the
State.
The Springfield Republican says of
this: "Whatever State laws may teen
nically allow the Returning Boards to
do. we doubt if the country will ac-
auiesce in a President chosen by changes
IN local returns OF votes cast without
knowing which candidate will be chosen
by the vote. We believe that the great
bulk Of both parties are ready to agree
in advance that the one who received
II majority of actual votes put into the
bsllot-boxes of any State should have the
vote OF that State" The last three lines
are itslicised by the Republican, which
adds: "To go behind the ballot boxes
and change President is so delicate and
so dangerous proceeding that we
doubt if any plausible grievance will be
accepted as justitying IT," ,
The Herald calls for the transfer OF
the duties OF the Returning Board Of
New Orleans to respectable gentlemen OF
both parties, and says that the members
of the present Board are in the main
those who were convicted by Congres-
sionsl Committee last year of fraud IN
manipulating the vote.
The Times claims that the law OF the
State of Louisiana allows the Returning
Board no choice, but to cast out the en-
tire vote of parishes where 1t can be
shown that intlmidstion has been used
to drive voters away from the polls IN
numbers sufficient to effect the general
result.

MASSACHUsETTS.

BosTos, November l5.-ln the City
Council tonight the matter of the dis
puted election for Congressman in the Sd
District came up. On the question as to
whether twenty-five votes for Field, Re
publican, on which were printed the
words, "For Congressman 4th District "
should be counted, an order was passed
that in the certificate to tho Secretary OF
State, the whole number Of votes be in
cluded in the count, with an expIsns-
ton relative to the twenty-five, leaving
the Governor and Council to determine
to whom a certificate of election shall be
gwen, The counsel for Dean, Democrat,
submitted a proposition that the matter
be referred 10 the Supreme Court OF the
State, and in the event OF an adverse
decision should not contest the seat IN
Congress.

CHARLESTON, Nov. l5-An error in

CHARLESTON, November l5.-The Co

have been received from all the counties
in the State except Lawrence, hershsw,
Calletin and Darlington The returns
for Lawrence county have been IN

Republicans upon the returns as they
stand is l,200, ard for Chamberlain
something less. NJ county Is thrown
out IN this calculation. Chief Justice
Carter Is in Columbia, and has visited

A PLEA FOR THE "CHILD REN's

THIS noble charity has sent out its
csnyassers to gather funds for the
liquidation of its present Indebtedness,
and to carry forward its work for the
wear to come. Being interested in every
thing which concerns the welfare OF
Wheeling and Ohio county, the REGIS
TER has always been ready to say kind
word for the only reformatory of an un-

and having watched the economical
msnsoement of the Chilsren's Home
and scan ned its reports from year to year,
we are now the more free to commend Its
work and ask for it continued and liberal
support. In conversation with the
President O: the directors we have gath
Grad q few facts which we present,
and which contain more argument than

The records show that from Nov. l, 1919
to November l, 1876, fifty children have
enioyed the comfort and motherly care
of the Home, and that nineteen OF that
number have been placed in rcspecta'
BILE families, either by adoption or linden

PHILADELPHIA, November 15.-This
afternoon q meeting Of the ladies was
held under the auspices OF the Womens
Centennial Executive Committee, in the
Little kindergarten building near the
Women's Pavilion, on the exhibition
grounds. The place OF meeting was
crowded. Mrs. Z. ID. Gillespie was
elected President, and announced that II
had been agreed to continue the women's
organization under the title OF the
"Womeu's Centen nisl League" and that
permanent organization would be
msde. She also submitted pan for
new organization, stating ths. it would
convene in Pbiladelphia, on the 2sd OF
next February. By what authority these
arrangements had been made so eIclu.
sive was question which stirred up the
ladies considerably and when Mrs.
Mary Nolan, of st Louis addressed the
meeting, her remarks being con-
strued as having a personal applica-
tion, the greater number OF the
women left, and the previous question Of
authority and eIclusivsness was neither
ordered nor answered.
The Exhibition grounds to day pre-
sented lonesome appearance, the cash
admissions numbering only 1908. In
consequence Of the meagre attendance,
the narrow. gauge railroad has stopped
business. Over tour million passengers
have been carried by the company. The
vegetable and mineral exhibits in the
special department of West Virginia
have been presented to the city. The
Centennial Commission have appointed
committee to prepare a final report to
Congress covering the history OF the Et'

The Vermont EIector.

WAsHIkGroN, November l5.-The
eligibility Of .be Vermont postmaster,
elected U. s. elector, remains the topic
of discussion. Letters have been sent to
the proper judicial authorities in Yer
mont, the principal object of which seems
to be be to learn every legislative or
judicial act bearing upon cases with any
similarity to that now existing. Judge
Taft has been approached for
opinions, but the Attorney General has
been careful to make no
expression of his views. He Is very par
ticu.ar with regard to beiLg quoted on
the matter. In the careful construction
of conversations with the Attorney-Gen-
ersl, lead to the belief that he holds
where one elector ineligible wss elected,
such circumstance does not elect an op-
poslBg elector.

New York SUM-.
The Charleston Ns,0s and Courier OF
last Friday gives the political complex
lon of the new members Of the new
South Carolina legislature. 1t seems
that out of thirty-thrse members Of the
Senate eighteen have now been elected,
the other fifteen holding over: OF these
eighteen, twelve are Democrats and
six Republicans; so that the
Senate will now stand fifteen
Democrats to eighteen Republicans, CIV
ing the latter party majority of one.
In the House Of Representatives there
are one hundred and twenty-tour mem.
bers, all of whom have now been chosen;
and of these, sixty -four are Democrats
and sixty Republicans, making Demo
cratic majority of four, and giving the
Democratic party q majority of one on
joint ballot of the two Houses
The Democratic gains not only make
probable the election of Democ ratio
United States Senator to succeed Mr..
Thomas ]. Robertson, Republican, whose
term expires on the 4th of March next,
bat they also confirm the probability that
the people of the State have not only
elected Wade Hampton to be Governor,
but have given q majority of their votes
to Samuel j. TiIden for President.

jority. These msjorities will be attacked
before the State canvsssing board, and
the Republicans are confident that they
can throw out several precincts. The
Democrats are as equally confident
that they can successfully defend
every return. County boards have with
hardly any exception csnvassed the vote
and referred all matters of contest to
the State Board. A dispatch has been
received at the Republican headquarters
stating that Mr.. Cespedes, Republican
candidate for the Legislature in
Monroe county, protested against the
canvass OF the vote of the third pre-
cinct in Key West on the ground that
the ballot-box was taken away from
the polls and counted BY the man.
ayers in violation of law. This
precinct gave large Democratic
majority. The protest was not needed
by the county board.
The Times Tallahassee special says:
As the county csnvasses go on, 1t be-
comes more and more apparent that
Hayes has run far ahead of his ticket.
The Republicans are sure that their state
ticket is elected by good majority, but
no matter how that may be, there can be
no doubt as to the success Of the national
ticket.

Anpropria,ion Estimates.

WASHINGTON, November l5.-The In
ternsl Revenue Commissioner IS at work
upon his report. He will make few
recommen dstions, and regards it as un-
necessary to make any change in taxa
ton.
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions has been called by its chairman to
meet on the 22d inst. The estimates for
diplomatic and consular service slightly
exceed 81, 100000 This is $50 900 in e1-
cess OF the amount appropriated for the
present fiscal year, and nearly Sl5O,OOO
less than the estimates last year. The
estimates for all the expenses of the gov
ernment, with the exception of pensions,
are larger than the appropriations of the
present year. The pension estimates are
$28, ,533, 500, q million less than appro-
priated last year. A considerable annu-
al reduction may now be counted upon.
The Indian and army estimates are much
larger than the appropriation granted
last session for the current fiscal year, but
the postotfice estimates promise to be
nearly the same.

THE DESPERATION OF RADICAL
ISM.

! The careful observer of the Presiden-
tial canvass just closed is not surprised
at the present desperate attitude of the
Radical party in the face of Mr.. TIL
psN's election. For several weeks before
election day-especislly after the 10th of
October-violent resistance to the will of
the Democratic majority was openly de-
clsred by the reHexes of the GRANT
HAYES party to this end.

TILDEs election, the "loysl people
would not permit his Inauguration"
The bread and butter brigade were loud.
est in their rebellious uttersnces, and to-
day they are willing to see the country
disgraced IN the eyes of the whole civil
lied world, if by such national misfortune
they can held on little while longer to
the radical test, from which has issued q
compound of corruption that has tainted
every department of the government.
But these scsmps may fuss and futter
as much as they please on the eve OF
their departure for the disgrsceful
shades that await their retirement.
They cannot move or turn aside the
Democracy from plain duty which
they owe to the present and future OF
the Republic, and they may just as we'll
possess their souls in peace. If Mr..
TILDEs has as we confdentially believe,
carried the so-called doubtful
states, he will step into the
White House on the fifth day
of next March as surely as that day ar
rives, and he is alive to receive the hon.
age of the millions Of patriots who have
elected him. No Infamous combination,
such as is now attempted by ZACH
CHANDLER. CHAMBERLAIN, KELLOGG
s. Co, will stand in the way of an hon
est, earnest people. If, on the other
hand, it shall be found that Mr.. HAY YEs
has carried majority of the electoral
votes, then we shall bow in submission
by the result but not until then. The
will of the majority must triumph, if ex-
pressed without fraud. But we
say to our friends-hsvs no fesrs'
We have fairly won the victory
Sober Republicans every where are
openly expressing themselves that Mr..
TILDEN is the newly elected President
The evidence thus far collected is all in
favor OF the Democracy, and 1t grows
better as it accumulates. Truth never
appears so beautiful rs when confronted
with base falsehood; and when the pres
ent outburst of Radical fury is over, 1t
will be the end-never to be remember
ed without disgust. Again, we say,
friends, be patient. We have three
chances to one-possibly four, as Oregon
is still in doubt.
