THE Democrats are not so happy over
Oregon as they were, for Croniu has turned
out quite as much fool as rascal. He msun.
derstood his instructions and made a ridicp.
lous blunder which upsets the whole scheme.
He was expected to appear with the Republi-
cans and insist upon voting. In case he was
not received by the two Republican electors
the Governor was to refuse to attach the seal
of the State to the returns of the electoral
college. But Cronin was evidently possessed
with desire to do something more eXtraor.
dinary than even Grover dared to attempt,
aud so refused to deliver the certificates to
the two Republicans concerning whose elec-
ton there was no question. Not satisfied
with this brilliant stroke he proceeded to de
clare and then to fill vacancies, though tie
Republican electors We're neither actually nor
constructiyely absent. He made of the
whole thing a stupid bunder.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-12

Mr.. REDFIELD, of The Cincinnati CONNER
ciol. whose letters from New Orleans at the
outset leaned strongly to the Democratic side,
now has this to say in vindication of the re-
turning board: "These men who composed
the returning board have been abused fully as
much as they deserve. They are Republicans
from principle. They endanger their lives by
counting in the Republican ticket, but are
without reward. On the other hand they
could get 100000 each to count in Tilden.
1t is asserted that 100000 of Democratic
money from New York is now here, to be
used, if possible, in buying up the board,
but so far without success. This money
may have been sent by New York betting
men. do not know as to that. But /
have reasonably good authority for saying
that it has so far been without avail. 1
am informed that one OF the members
of the board has been approached in man.
ner that he could not misunderstood, but the
approach was useless. If the board was a.
black as it has been painted, it seems re :
markable that so large a sum should have no
influence upon it,"
