THE REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY
a Plot to Declare Hayes Elected
Despite the House.
A Bold Scheme Concocted by Des-
perate Men
Copjuring Up the Possibilities of an
Armed Collision.

WASHINGTON, Nov. % The RepubIi-
can leaders here are not reticent as ~to
their plan of opera tiOns. The Return
ing Boards in South GSrOIiua and Louisi-
ana they say, will certify the election of
the Republican electoral tickets in those
two States, and Governors Cham berIais
and kellogg will issue, in conformity
with this, th9 certificate of election to
the electors. The electors of these States
will in dua form and in accordance with
Law, perform their functions and transmit
their certificates to the President of the
Senate, and their votes will be counted
for Rutherferd B. Hayes This is the
plan
IN ITS NAKED OUTLINES.
As to the details, they are to depend
upon the exigen cies in each cas- Fo.
instance, to South Carolina, Chamber
lam, though the Supreme Court should
attempt to interfere, will issue his rti-
ieAtes of election to the Republican
electors, and they will meet, record their
votes for Hayes and Wheeler and trans
nit their eertifoation of the fact to
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.
In Florida, Governor Stearns will do
the same and the electoral vote of that
State will in the same manner be trans
mittsd to the President of the Senate
The Louisiana ease is a little difficult,
bat the Returning Beard there Is equal
to the emergency. 1t will perform its
labors in the presence of tho Republican
and Democratic committees Whatever
they do will be certified to as legally per
formed by the Republican cOmm;stee,
and the electoral vote of that State will
be given to Hayes aad Wheeler, and the
fact certified to the President of the
Senate.
A the appointed time the two Houses
of Congress viii meet in joint session,
and the certificates will be opened by
the President of the Senate, and l85
votes counted for Hayes and I84 for
Tilden. If there is any objection made
by Democratic Senator or Representa-
tive, the President of the Senate will
DECLINE TS ENTERTAIN IT.
IF the objecting member persists he will
be called to order, and if he does not
obey he will be taken IN hand by the
Sergeanf-at-Arms Of the Senate In the
eve0t of disorder the offenders will be
re moved from the Hall by the officers of
the Senate, but in the event of any dis
turbanee which the officers of the Senate

teriere to preserve proper decorum. If
the Demo cratic majority retire the Re
publican minority will remain, and It
will be held thet the House of Ropresen-
tatives was constitutionelly present. MIR.
Hayes Will be declared elecsed, and upon
the 4th of March
he WILL BE ISAUGURATED.
The forms Of law having been observed
by the Returning Boards of South Caro-
lima aud Louisjant, by the Governor of
Florida and 5hs electors of those States,
the action OF the Republican majority of
the Senate, and tile Republican minority
of the House in declaring Hayes elected
President will, it is expected, be acqli-
esced in by the people of the United
States. The business interests of the
country will not suffer turmoil to ensue,
and after season of talk and threaten
ings the great BODY of the people will
settle down to every day affairs and say
we can
STAND IT FOR FOUR YEARS.
This is what the Republican leaders
here profess to believe.
If, however, there should be any dis
tuTbanee, any attempt to resist the de-
| cision of the Republican majority Lf the
| Senate and the Republican minority of
| the House of Representatives, th en- the
whole power of the Government will be
exerted
TO CRUSH IT OUT.
! This, they say, will be quite easy. They
/ Go rot apprehend any united action on
| the part of the Governors of New York,
/ New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
! On the other hand, the Governors OF all
| the Republican States, they allege, will
! tender prompt assistance to the general
| Government. Precaution will be taken
to have the militia of those S,tates in
readiness to be used instantly. 10 a
word, the Republican leaders say tbey
will have bot only the army and navy
OF the general government but their
friends throughout the North will be
ready to respond. If there Is any move
neut by the Southern States, this will be
denounced as a revival of the rebellion
and the loyal North VIII be appealed to
I to put it down.
