THE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATS GOING
FOR THE BOTTOM FACTS A VICTORY OF
FRAUD To BE TEMP1RARY-THE RE-
sULT-A TRIUMPH Of RIGHT.
From Yesterdays Baltimore sun.
Most of the representative Democrats
of the country who are now here have
concluded IL remain over TO the end OF
the week. They are entirely SATISFIED
that if frauds and Chlcsnery shall achievd
another triumph here il will be only tenn
porary. They have been devoting their
entire time 10 an examination OF all the |
facts, continuing theinyestigatlon far into
the hours of the night, and have heard the |
ored Democrats. Gov. WlcEImT' VINO !
lives in the parish of East Fellc'ana, told
them to-day that there WAS colored
Democratic club in the parish with Il
mem bership of eleven hundred. Several
intelligent coored men were also before
the committee, VINO had canvassed the
State for the Demo cratic ticket, and
who averred that they were perfectly
satisfied that there mad been no
violence or intimidation attempted or
prscticed except 10 compe' the Demo
cratic negroes to vote the KepuDIichh
ticket. The local Democratic commit
tee also laid before the committee IA mass
of indisputabe evidence showing that
great bodies of the more intelligent ne
groes voted against the Republicans.
This evidence. the collection OF which Is
still gong on, will be laid before the Re
turning Board at the proper time.
The Hon Samuel j. Randall whose
ANALYTICAL mind hrs gotten down TO the
bottom facts, assures me that he is per-
fec,ly satisfied that when the case IS fair
Iy put before the people of the North 1t
| is bound to come right IN the end. de
does no., of course, expect the Radical
politiciars to surrender without strug-
rIe. but with the people sgtlnst them, OF
which he enterlains no doubt, their
struggles will be in vain.

carving their ballots open in their
hands. and affiiavIts Of thousands who
thus voted WI! be brought before the

the Democrats, and hundreds did so. The
only case Of Intimidation Was that o:

The worst case against the Democrats Is
