1t. Finally, Gentleman Tom affirms
that DR.. Robertson Ia not now his en-
envy.
Now then we have Tom Anderson
affirming that o certain person
o Democrat offered him two hum
dred thousand dollars to make fair
count. or, az he puts 1t, to secure Louis
lana to the Den, oorats. He affirms
that he refused this proposition. But
note these facts In making this charge
against Dr. Robertson, and this protes-
tation of his refusal TO accept the
offer. he proves thai he is Il
man who may. with impunity,
be offered bribe that he did
not grow indignant at the effort to
seduce him, that he did not resort to
the means gentlemen employ to get rid
of a tempter Of this sort, but that to get
rid of him he told two or three lies.
First. he made an engagement he never
intended to keep; and second. after
Intentionally breaking the engage
ment. he lied and said he had forgotten
1t. He also testilles that he does not
regard rs his enemy man who so firm
ly believes that he is a rascal that he
offered him bride.
This Is exactly the character Of Keno
Anderson as he gives it himself; but
we protest that it is not the character
of gentleman. It is, however, II
truthful delineation; it is u char
aeter with which all the acts Of An
derson's life are in keeping. We can
not con ceive that man with such n
character would refuse bride, though
IL is entirely clear that he would make
way with an eighty thousand dollar
appropriation for the Dpuf and Croco-
die or any other navigation company,
provided he could get his hands on it.
We do not believe that DR.. Robertson
offered Anderson two hundred thou
sand dollars to make u fair count, but
we are very sure that it would require n
bribo to induce a man with such q
character rs Anderson gives himself to
do O fair and honorable action. We do
not believe that Anderson Is gentle
man. swear it as he may. and we are
very firmly convinced that he would
never have refused two hundred thou
sand dollars from DR.. Robertson. or
from anybody else, If it had been offered
him-as gift or bride.
DIR. Robertson's statement in relation
to this matter fully refutes Gentleman
Toms story, and 1t will be accepted by
the public ut large.

A Washington special TO the DEMs-
eRAr yesterday. referring to the opening
OF the Hayes case before the Electoral
Commission by VIM. M. Evarts. says:

or ti1gets al the opening OF u case before.
How true it is that conscience makes
eowarts of us all. No man In America
knows better than VIM. M. Evarts how
base and UNANIMOUSLY fraudulent are the
pretensions of Hayes to both the vote
Of Louisiana and Florida. No man
has more loudly and eloquently than
he denounced the action of the
Returning Board Of Louisiana in
1874, and the action Of the Federal
Government in 1876. I'd sustain it. Yet
he appears now before the Electoral
Commission, a body whose organization,
deliberations and determinations are to
be historical. are In fact to constitute
the most luminous event of this
era, as the advocate OF Hayes
claims, on the strength Of acts In
Florida and Louisiana hundred times
more criminal than the acts he CON
aemned in 1874. We are not surprised
that a man with an illustrious reputa-
tiur and high ambition is indecisive.

ignominious duty of defending the
frauds. periuries and forgeries of the
Returning Boards OF Florida aud Lou.
isiana. That man must seem nervous
who becomes the hireling Of Wells,
Anderson, Cameron and Morton, and

and institutions Of his country, and

all the world Is gazing.
