majority of the lawful electors, but he
was deprived of his Office by the same
set of rascals that have now robbed
Samuel J. 1ilden OF a majority of 1900
votes, and the eight electoral votes
which that majority conferred. His
election was conceded by the
Republican press of the North, that
better portion of it represented by the
New York Tribune, the Cincinnati

sustained by the investigations of both

unscrupulous President joined hands to
inaugurate a Legislature against which
the people had pronounced at the polls,

right to his office save that which bayo-

the words that he would not be ruled

Grant had so closely allied himself

covered with riches and honor.

LOUISIANA. TINE REAL ISSUE.

Oregon is not the issue Louisiana is.
All the great power Of the Republican
press all over the land has been steadily
exerted for the last week to divert pub
lie attention from the State where a
great outrage upon the ballot has been
committed TO . State where dispute
has arisen over single electoral vote.
The contest in Oregon 10 over point of
law which Is not necessarily political at
all. Gov. Grover holds that when votes
have been cast for an ineligible candi-
date, those votes are void, and that
therefore the candidate receiving the
next highest number of votes should be
declared elected. That is his opinion.
and the opinion Of many good lawyers
IL is the opinion OF good many Re
publicans. too. for the Republicans Of
Sc. Louis claimed one Of the electoral
votes Of Missouri on just the same
ground. The action Of Gov. Grover is
exasperss1sig beyond expression to the
Republicans, because. in order to over
throw il. they must permit that scrutiny
BY Congress into the validity Of the re.
turns from State. which the Democrats
are demanding in the three Southern
States. This Is the whole secret Of their
anger
But this u matter that the lawyers
may be allowed TO wranele over, rs they
inevitably will; the fact for the people
10 consider is plain one--that in
Louisians, leaving the other South
cru States out OF consideration
about fifteen thousand votes that were
cAst. and lawfully cast, for the Tilden
eiectors. have been thrown out By the
Returning Board. and that by this
means q majority Of from 1000 to 1000
votes has been secured for the Hayes
electors; that. oonceding Florida and
South Csrolins TO Governor Hsyes, be
had only l76 electoral votes given him,
just for the sake Of argument, al three
