THE OUTLOOK.

Tilden las 184 electoral votes, md
one more fixes his electi on Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina are in
doubt, and will be for some davs to
come, as the vote is close in these States,
and an exact count must be had to de-
termine the result Enough is known
to say that one, if not all, of the above
States, are for Tilden but between the
Return ing Board and Grants intermed-
ding military officials, the Democrats
may be cheated out of them, and Hayes
be declared in the majority.
If such an event become reality, the
Northern Democrats may revolt and de-
mand their rights. In that event, dire
revolution may be the result There is
an evident feverIshness in the public
mind throughout the country. The wa
ters are troubled The horizon is cloudy.
Murky weather is ahead. Consummate
wisdom is now demanded to guide Alright
our national politics.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1876-11-16
AN ESTABLISHED FACT.

1t must be admitted that the present
Democratic success has delivered the
country out of the clutches of an unre-
lenting Capitalization. Since the war
the tendency of Federal legislation has
been to concentrate power at Washing
ton at the expense of the rights and priv
ileges guaranteed the States under the
Constitution.
The surface view of the late campaign
was a contest between Tilden and
Hayes as leaders of the respective dom
inant polite al parties, but the deep IN
seen contest at issue was the life of con-
stitutional 1ibsrty itself Mr.. Hayes
represented the advanced ideas of i'm
periaI federalism. Mr.. TiIden was the
exponent of that just theory of govern
mens which recognizes the people as
the fountain of all authority, and that
government is a mere creation and not
a creator. The success of the Demuc-
racY is a guarantee of the protection of
our civil institutions Let Democrats
stand for their rights and the Liberties
of the country.

RED-HANDRD RA0ICALIsM.

Republican Jacobins stand ready to
thr rottle the expressed voice of the peo-
pie. For sixteen years Chandler and
his abettors have pressed the cap of gall
bitterness to the lips of the American
people; and now that the scepter of con-
troll is about to pass out of their hands,
they see ft to ignore the vote of Nov. 7th
in favor of Hayes, and to ride rough
shud over the Southern States; and
force them to appear in the false atti-
tsde of supporting the Republicans.
The prolongation of Radical rule is
what these men desire, and what they
are determined to have at any sacrifice,
even if the dearest interests of the peo-
pie perish in the crisis We hope the
Northern Democrats will be frm in the
maintenance of the rights of those
Southern States. Make an issue with
these traitors now and to their hearts
content. Too much is at stake for free
men to yield their political inheritance
to the personal hate of an unprincipled
gang of corrupt marplots.

A MOCKERY.

Grant officiated at the close Of the
Centennial Exhibition. While these in
tsresting ceremonies were being enacted,
designed to commemorate the birth of
Republican liberty, at that very moment
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic
had Issued an order which struck q
death blow at the maintenanes and in
tegrity Of constitutional freedom in
America. The present military oecupan'
cy of many of the Southern States makes
a moekery Of the Centennial jollifeation.
Grant and his satraps have inundated
Liberty, and the fair Goddess lies bleed
ing at every pore.
Considering the present condition OF
interstate and Federal affairs, the Gov
srnment has existed for little purpose,
il our civil institutions are hold in abey =
ance at the will of a military dictator
ship. Things caffHot long exist thus.
Thsir settlement is in the near future.
The people must rule or bs ruled. The
country must either be free or in politi-
cal bondage. Rsdicalism must accept
either horn of the dilemma A few
weeks will decide the question.

Tilden's Popular Majority.

We have given the population Of the
States which make up l64 votes for MIR.
Tilden, foot ng up over 10000 900. or
more than a majority of the 80 600 900
of population of the United States. In
giving that result we desired to show
that States which have a majority of the
population of the URitsd States have pro
nOunced for the Democratic candidate.
Assuming that majorities would balance
each other in the popular vote, this
would show a majority of the people Of
the United States for Democratic gov
ernment We asserted in giving that
result that a comparison of maiorilies
WOnld make it even stronger, but we
were unwilling then to estimate mainri-
ties, In many instances, so, entirely IN
certain. Now we are able TO give an
estimate from Republican source, which
will not lean towards the Democrats
The New York Tribune gives the est
mated majoFities, excluding the disputed
States of Louisiana and South Carolina,
and leaving out of the Democratic count
the maj OritY in North Carolina, winch is
about $4,000 The Tribun's estimate
give Tilden's majoFities in States he has
carried, leaving out North Carolina
South Carolina, Florida, and giving Or
egon to Hayes, at 487 ,0OO; Republican
maiorities in States Hayes has carried at
26S, ,7O0-exeess of Democratic over Re-
publican popular msjorities, 2l5,3OO.
Sumo changes will have to be made in
tho figures on both sides. They will not
however, materially alter the large Dem
ocratio excess of popular majorities
showing the Judgment of the people of
this country that Democracy shall rule.

HOLD THE FORT"

"You can bet your bottom dollar on
Louisiana for Hayes,'' was Kellogg 5
secret teIegraphic salutation to John A
Logan. In the same vein of vain-giori-
oss boasting this unscrupulous dupe Of
Grant sent word to Chandler "not to be
uneasy that be would "hold the fort,
alluding to the election returns in Louis
ians. The meaning of these messages
Is that he intends through his tools in
the Returning Board to wipe out the
majority in favor of Tilden, and then
the attempt will be made to count the
electoral vote for Hayes The question
at this point naturally arises, will the
American people submit to such an out
rage Tildsn has majority of 100000,
and fair majority of the electoral votes
We cannot believe that the people will
submit to his not being inauguratsd
President, in spite Of all this beld effort
ct fraud. The honest men of both par
ties and sections will not tolerate the
overthrow OF the ell. ctivs franchise.

OUR COUNTY VOTE

The Democrats did not poll their full
strsngth by at least 700 votes at
the recent election. We hear that very
many in each District remained at home
This policy came near delivering our
ticket into the hands of the Radicals.
TO refuse to vote is to strike a Gripping
blow at the influence of the county in
all conventions, and to convert her into
a thIrd-rate power, whereas she should
he reckoned must potential in all politi-
cal campaigns. We hope hereafter that
our people will turn out and not en-
danger the efficiency Of our party in the
county.

GENERAL MAxLY's REASON FOR WITH
DRAwISG-HE ooNFEssEs THE PLOT.
Editor Chattanooga Commercial:
came Immediately here from Chatta-
nooga with hopes of uniting the Repub-
liean vote of West Tennessee to the
large support assured me in Eastern
and Middle, bat found this an impossi-
bility.
After the Republican Convention de-
clined TO nominate for Governor, a COM
binatIen was entered into in two of
the West Tennessee, Congressional
Districts by which a Republican
candidate for Congress and some
Fifteen for the Legislature IN vail
Gus counties Of the Districts were,
with their friends and influence,
committed to Mr. Thomas. In thIa
number were many of long and promi-
nent Republican identity, and these
could -rightfully insist that my support
was a mere personal matter, as their
Convention had absolved them Of all
parry obligations in the premises, aud
while they were all politely conpiderate
of my claims as candidate, eVea in
many instances expressing a preference
to support me under different eircum-
stances, they felt it impossible to do so
under their then cOBlmittGLs aCith0ut a
a sacrifice to the ertent Of UiOlating most
positiUe pledges and engagements to Nr
Thomas friends, l0hO az turn Ioere aiding
them to secure a fair count Of their flGtt
party U0te, and, iH many instances, sup
porting their candidates | must in can
dor confess that these gentlCmen'S state
ments of the condition left me no cause
of comnlaint at net receiving their sup
port, but as this rendered my election
impossible, | FELT IT PROPER, UN-
DER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, NOF
To EMBARRASS THEIR CONGRES-
SlONAL AND LEGISLATIVE ELEC-
TIONo BY CONTINUING a CANDi-
DIDATE And this course L trust will
meet the approval of nay friends through
oft the State With grateful aPprecia-
siOn of your very Jealous support, | am
truly your friend.
GEORGE Nancy.
The above explains why the Republi-
cans supported Thomas They did so of
q purpose, and by formal bargain and
sale with Thomas, in order TO defeat
two Democratic Congressman and Afteen
Democratic Legislative candidates. Now
it is evident fer what base ends the Re
publicans induced so many of our eOun-
t7 Democrats to vote for thomas. Thus
hundreds of our Democrats were inno-
Gently induced to give aid and comfort
to the boldest Republican treachery.
They were sold out in the interest OF
the Radicals. It was not low tax but
Democratic defeat ttat gave birth to
Thomas Indspendency.

The absurdity of the Repub liean cam
paign pretencs that the election of Til
den would iDjurs our credit broad, is
shown by the comments of the London
press on the reports of his success which
went to England last week. The Lon
don journals uniformly speak of Mr.
T.lden as sound on the finances, and
refer to his election as In no wise inter
fering with ths stability of our sseuri-
ties. The PdU Mall Gazette thought it
"crazs or a calumny" to assert that
Mr. Tildsn Was likely to play into the
hands Of the inAati onistg

THOSE TWO NEGROES.

The two important and ruling charac-
ters on that Returning Board in Louis
lana are despicable negroes. One is a
keeper of a bawdy house and the other
runs New Orleans drinking saloon and
gambling hell. The fate of that State is
in their hands, and the election of Mr.
Tilden depends much upon these de-
based creatures. 1t is a just commen-
tary upon Radisalism that the dearest
rights of a sovereign State should be
iwperillcd by such men, who at any
moment could provoke the people to risk
all in revolutionary civil war. Let the
the Southern people be patient and firm.
They are powerless. The North alone
can settle all such questions.

The successor of President Grant
will be entitled to take the oath of Office
on the 4sh day of March, and have his
term commence on that day, although it
may 'bs Sunday. The ceremony of in-
auguratiOn is not necessary to constitute
a legal title to the ofice. As soon as
the oath is taken the former Presidents
ceases to hold the Office, and bis success
sOr in stantiy becomes President By opsr-
alton Of Law. The inauguration esre-
mony can take place on the next day,
according to custom. This will have to
be the course when President Grants
successor comes to take possession of ths
Office. There will be no intsrregnum,
ss some have supposed there might be,
and President Grant will not hold over

CONFERENCE.

A conference committee of promi-
Republicans and Democrats met by
agreement this week in New Orleans TO
see fair play in the election returns of
Louisiana. TIE returns thus far FROM
that State indicate that the committee
will have nothing to do, as TiIjen has a
clear and ad mitted majority. But it is
well to watch Kellogg and his Return
ing Board. They are determined, if
possible to throw the State for HAYES.
Timely proeaution is real protection.

THE NEXT CONGRESS

The Senate will be almost equally
divided between the tive great parties
The Republicans will have only ma
jority of two In the present House the
Democrats bave a majority of seventy
two; in the next they will have thirty
three, 80 faT as the election returns up
TO date indicate. This showing makes
it certain that Mr.. Tiiden's administra
ton cannot be checkmotsd by the Oppo
sitIon.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1876-11-16

Quite a number of the most distin-
guished Democrats aud Republicans Of
the country are now in New Orleans, by
invitation, to supervise the election re-
turns of Louisiana but the Returning
Board is the power behind and above
them, and will manipulate matters for
Hayes. These gentlemen had as well
return home. Radical desperation is
ready for any measure of election
meanness.

The Ninth and Tenth Congressional
Districts were to be Radicalized. Casey
Young and w. P. Caldwell were to be
the victims of the bargain and sale be
tween Thomas and the Republicans.
Thomas had no idea of being elected
Governor, but wanted to control a strong
minority in the Legislature that he might
be elected to the United States Senate
Read Gen. ManeY's exposure in an
other column. This is a good warning
for the future.

ETae most surprieing news of all is
that Ohio, Hayes OwR State, Is very
close. The Democrats are making largo
gains on she vote of 1875, when Hayes
majority for Governor was cnly 5,54t
with a possibility of wiping it out alto,
gether, and giving the State 20 1ilden
and Reform. Private adviees from Illi-
nois say that State is very close, and
win not give over 500 majority either
way;

We would not be surprised if Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana were all
thrown for Hayes. Such is the hsatheB
Chinee ways of modern RadicaIism. It
cannot be long before the people every
where will see that their liberties are
mere playthings ia the estimation Of
these desperate Republican managers.
Let them drift on; they will meet break
res ahead after awhile.
