The great structure which the DEM
ocratic party supposed it had reared,
to Tildens complete security, by it's
dirty Oregon device Is explained in
the one sentence with which they
have ever since tried to fortify their
position, thus: If you go behind the
returns we will have two Southern
Estates; if you refuse to go behind the
returns, we must get one vote from
Oregon Now the Republicans
refuse to accept either horn of this
dilemma. Thay do not say that there
is no power in the Commission to go
back of the returns. What they assert
is that there is no power to 60 behind
the authoritative and final declaration
Of the result of an election by state
authority. The Governors certificate
is not an essential part of that declara-
ton. 1t is required, not by State law,
but United States statute. 1t may be
a false certificate, az is that of Gov.
Grover. Congress, and therefore the
Commission, is not bound to accept it
as conclusive. The purpose OF the
count is TO ascertain what was the de-
clared will of the State as announced
by the authority created by its laws
to canvass and determine the vote for
Electors, and the commission can go
beyond the returns to ascertain what
was the action Of that authority, but
not step further There il the line
which divides the General from the
State Government. Ll Oregon the
canvassing authority was not the Gov
enor but the Secretary of state; in
Florida, il was not the Governor but
the canvassing Board. The Republican
theory, therefore, is that the Commits
sion may do everything necessary to
learn where the legal State authority
rested to determine the result of the
election, and what the action of that
was, but it cannot go step
further without invading the rights Of
the State.

II was well that the Northern pa
pers which were recently inclined to
laud Mr.. Ben. Hill, of Georgia, for
his supposed utterances in favor of a
peaceful and legal settlement of politi-
cal questions, almost invariably pre-
faced their pIaudits by an "if he is
sincere 1t was well, because Mr..
Ben Hill has just been elected Sena-
tor from his native State, and before
that could be accomplished he was
obliged to 60 down and regain caste
by explicitly declaring in public
speech, that there was secret Demo-
cratic plot to deceive the Republican
party and the country, and that he
simply carried out a part in that
plot; being all the time rs great a fire.
eater as ever. In this speech made
before the members of the legislature,
Hill said:
II uas unanimously agreed that the
dcportbaeat OF the South IN this crisis
shou,d be guict-perfectky quiet! And
it would be exceedingly improper for
the South to take the position that, If
war occurred, it should be exclusively
a Northern war, because that Woaid
not be sincere. II uouid be improper
10 soy in adroace that you manted IL
ii TO occur and Wantcd togo intoit. 1t
was imprudent TO discourage the
Northern Democrats by telling them
that YOU would not go in if it did come,
and again il was mistake to attempt
to patronize them into position.
And il WAS unnecessary, wholly so,
for your Southern representatives to
indulge in bravado. and tell which
side they would take If war come. be-
cause it was our duty to keep off war
if possible DIT If ,ear must come the
wfo,e rorld knem mhich side the south
~ou'd take! Loud applause and
cheers.
1t became important that some South
ern man should make an emphatic ex-
preston upon some points. was
asked to make it, and did so, not hav-
ing an opportunity in the House, but
in an interview which has become
generally known as the Herald inter
view published in the New York Her.
ald. That interview has been very
much misunderstood, and l am not
responsible for either the interpreta-
ton, or the introduction given to it by
the reporter, all of which are untrue.
BY this means the Demo-
cratic party made itself the patriotic
party-the party of law, and the party
of peace. 1t is impossible to tell you
the wonderful effect these two policies
had upon the situation.
And, now,I do say that there is not
man in Congress from tho South who
has more of the affection and conf
dence Of the Democratic party of the
North than have! Applause. 1t
simply fell to me to me to make a few
remarks upon a certain line of policy,
and 1T was their policy-not mine.
And for that, was charged with be-
ing ready to sell out to Hayes.

BY the reluctant testimony of a
prominent Mississippi Democrat the
Senate Committee learned that Du-

IN reducing the Republican vote than
rifle clubs in Louisiana. They destroy

and waste of powder, and every we'll

On Monday Gov. Wells, the Presi-

Board, was submitted to three hours
of Fields bullying cross examination,
and it was not Wells who came second
best out of the contest. The evidence
elected only served to confirm belief
that the MaddoxPicket story is a de-
liberate conspiracy. Wells will soon
be brought before the Senate commit
tee, and as the object there will be TO
elicit the truth instead of to badger and
irritate the witness, we shall probably
get something of some Importance.
