THE OFFICIAL VOTE.

The vote of the ceanty was canvessed

sieners, and the result is given else
whore in these columns. The regis
tered vote of the county numbered
about loo, bit the vote pclled falls
considerably below these figures. In
some cf the northern precincts. where
the population is composed principally
Of cattle raisers and vacqneros. not
much more than half of the registered
vote was polled, and there was a
marked difference between the num.
Der registered and the vote polled in
nearly every precinct. Several ballots
were cast tor local officers only, the
heads of the tickets having been
scratched, indicating that, the voter
had no choice for President and State
officers. Tn other instances the cleo
tors and State officers were the only
persons voted for. The majority for
Tilden aud Hendricks is over one hum
dred, and for the Democratic Leeisla-
tive candidates, an average of about 80.
The closest contest was for Sheriff,
which resulted in the election of G.
A. Kyle (Dem.) by fonr majority. Two

INAUGURATION DAY.


The 4th of March, the day fixed for
the inauguration of the President, falls
on Sunday this year. This occurs
every tweuty-efght years. and next
year for the fourth time since the Dec
laration of Independence. The pre-.
cedent established on snch occasions is
for the new President to take oath of
Office and be inaugnrated on Monday,
the 9Th of March; upon which day it il
to be hoped that Samuel J. Tilden or
Rutherford B. Hayes. if legally elected,
will take peaeeabis possession of the
White House. Ths first Inauguration
on the 5th of March was that of George
= Washington, on entering upon his sec
ond tenn. The next time in 1921
when James Monroe was the President
elect for the second time. The third
was in 1849, when Zachary Taylor was
inaugurated op Monday March 5th.
After next year it is computed that ill.,
auguration day will not fall on. Sunday
until the year 1905, when all the present
aspirants for the Presidency will be
quietly laid in their graves.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. Is, 1876.
Henry Watterson telegraphs the
Courier Journal from New Orleans that
the Returning Board shows conclusive
ly its intention to proceed without fear
or shame in counting out Tilden's ma
jority. In conversation with Senator
Stevenson yesterday, Governor Kellogg
admitted that OF votes cast Tilden had
nnquestionabiy majority. Watterson
speaks in severe terms of Ex-Governor
Wells. stating that this man has the
destiny Of the Uni,ed States in his
hands; bat there is DO hope of fair
play from him whom Sheridan once re-
moved from Office for being, as he said.

DISPATCHES
The Returning Board.

Inc Rotu1nang Doarus
New ORLEANS, Nov. Is.
The Returning Board meet here to-
day. The only business it will be
likely to transact will be to fill the
vacancy which exists. If Democrat
is chosen he will be only able to pro-
test against any unjust proceeding, and
refuse TO sign reports of the Board.
He will not be permitted to cross-ex-
anime witnesses. Both parties are
preparing protests, and the result may
not be officially announced for some
time.
Disqualified Electors.
The papers say two of the Republi-
can Presidential Electors in this State
held Office of profit and trust under the
United States at the time they were
voted for, and are therefore ineligible.
Democrats Jubilant.

A PAIR OF LASD-GRABBERs. The
Cincinnati Convention resolved against
"furthcr grants OF the public lands to
corporation and monopolics," when it
is well known that our public lands
have all gone into the possession Of
monopolists through the legislation of
the Radical party. Further, it is found
on investigation that Hayes, the Radi-
cal Presidential candidate when in Con.
rgess uniformly voted in favor of every
land grant and every subsidy brought
before the House during bis member
ship, and Wheeler, the candidate for
Vice President, was q chief among the
Credit Mobilicr supporters, and advo-
Gated every measure of any benefit to
the land grabbcrs. What jewel con-
sistcncy is Denounce land grabbing
in the platform, and then nominate the
grabbers for President and Vice Pres.
idcnt. No circus clown ever exhibited
more agility at turning haDd.springs
than do the Radical leaders at this
day for the sole purpose Of securing

BAD GENERALsnrP.-Tbe Philadol-
phia Times, in alluding to the bungling
effort of the Blaine delegates at Gin
cinnati, says; "a good illustration Of
the generalship of the Blaine men in
the Pennsylvania delegation is found
in the fact that, with that delegation
standing thirty for Blaine and twenty
eight for Hayes, the friends of Blaine
insisted tha. the unit rule should not
prevail, and that each delegate should
vote as he pleased. This blundcr alone
is sufficient to account for Blaine's
defeat"

BRIsTow- BLAINE.-Thc editor of the

head of washington Affairs" relates
the following "queer" topic Con
gresham McHenry, of Kentucky, re-
lates this incident of Secretary Bris-
tow's visit to Mr.. Blaines house on
Sunday, the llth, as soon as the Sec
rotary heard of Mr.. Blaine's sudden
stroke of illness. He went with the
Secretary TO Blaine's house, He says I:
"When we reached the portico, we
found the door wide open, and observ-
ed Mr. Blaine lying prone upon the
floor of the hall, within twenty feet OF
the threshold, surrounded by attend
ants, who were endcavoring to restore
him to consciousness. Fearing that
he might disturb the sufferer by ring
ing or knocking, Gen. Bristow entered
softly lie had no sooner entered the
hall-Mr Washington and myself re.
naming without-than Mrs. Blaine,
who at that moment came to her hus-
bands side and recognized the Secre-
tary, instantly slipped rapidly forward,
and with a motion of her hand forbade
the Secretary to enter, saying as she
did so, Don't come in, sir; you have
had your way pointing to the hus-
band), you have had your way Gen.
Bristow, without word inreply, bow
ed himself backward, in a very re.
spectiul and dignifed manner, and
passed out of the door into the street,
leaving Mrs. Blaine sobbing."

After all, victory came not to Blaine
or his adherents, and the Camerons
still remain masters of the situation.
Secretary Don deserves credit for his
mastery management OF the discord.
ant elements he led from this State to
the Cincinnati Convention. With a
delegation which boastcd ofnumbering
over forty Blaine men in its ranks and
which avowed o determination to make
this numerical majority felt at the op.
portunc moment and force the nomi-
nation Of their favorite, Cameron held
them 80 firmly in hand that the golden
opportunity slipt by and they walked
TO find themselves defeated and the
laughing stock of the country. Don
Cameron found early that he could not
deliver the goods he had contracted to,
but he did the next best thing to help
the combination against Blaine, by
holding bis delegation TO Hartmnit.
And in this he was assisted by Conl-
ling, who loaned lIartrauh few dele
gates from North Carolina,and Nevada
which slightly increased his vote and
gave Don, Mackcy, Quay, and the
other anti Blaine men in the delegation
the opportunity Of demanding that
Hartranit must not be dropped. And

SEvEHTEENTHLY-The resolutions of
the Cincinnati Convention wind up
with number seventeen, as follows:
The National Administration merits commen-
dation for It's honorable work in the management
Of domestic and foreign affairs, and President
Grant deserves the contiaued and hearty gratitude
Of the American people for his patriotism and
bis immenss services In war and In peace.
The honorable work" we presume,
refers to the Belknap business, and the
"immense services" to Babcock's jobs,
and the CROOKED whisky" contribu-
tons for campaign purposes. The Of

Also SpoTTED.-The Congressional
career OF would be President, Hayes,
and his associate, is even worse than
that of Blaine, who had the shrewd.

and other plundcring schemes, while
the innocent Hayes went square on
the record every time for each grab
that was introduced during his mem.

in few words lie believes that every man has

THE PLAIN, HONEST TR UTR"

This quotation, which we find in the
Philadelphia Press, might lead the
reader to suppose that tho editor of
that journal was about to take "new
departure" according to the text. The
editor of the journal in question has
favored ian insupportable local despot
ism" for nineteen years, and in his do
clining years, we infer, IL ready to be
skinned like an eel. Read what he
says about the process
"a theory that Governor Hayes, the Rcpubli-
can candidate for President, Is carefully remind
cd that he is indebted for mis- nomination to the
personal warfare made upon Mr.. Blaine by the
tamerons Of this State, Is ingeniourly pressed !
and Il Is followed by the declaration that any
body who dares to resist these royalties Is to bc
forever disbarred the favor Of the incoming Chief
Magistrate. The latter may not know, perhaps,
that we are accustomed TO this sort OF ostracsm
hercaway, and that the intense enthusiasm for
Blaine In Ponnsylvania grow out Of tho longing
Of all classes to escape from under the CALLING
fetters Of tho boasted Cameronian lnferiority.
And we beg TO say to the incoming President,
Hayes, that our good people saw In Blaine re-
lease from an insupportable local despotism,
which General Grant encouraged to the full, and
they had a wild, Insane idea that II Blaine was
elected no might liz, the lid from the cauldron In
which they have been tmothering. This Is the
plam, honest truth and IL Governor Hayes
chooses to keep us where we have been for so
many years, we have ut any rate the delicious
consolation Of the cels, which, according to the
hshsrman's adagc, did not really like the process
Of skinning, but they submitted because, poor
things, they were used to II 7"
