Frink President. Nr. Frnk, on taking the
chair. said the entire Democratic party believe
they have fairly and honestly elected MIR. Tilden
"a President OF the United States. The at
tempt Is being made to cheat us out OF the
fruits of victory. Hundreds OF Republicans
concede the election of Mr. Tilden. or distrust
the election OF Mr. Hayes. No sooner was the
battle between the two parties settled than a
sklrmsh OF ON reholders began. Every device OF
party warfare and every menace Of milit nv

OF tho people. The trickery OF tho Returning

were converted from Mr. Iilden to Mt. HAYES Is
too well known. History records no such abuse
