From One Learn All"


In the opening Democratic speech be
fore the Electoral Commission Mr.. David
Dudley Field. dwelling with more force
than truth on the alleged crookedness Of
the count in Baker county. Florida, de
clared that if that was not enough of
itself to destroy the Republican majority.
they might at least judge from it how the
rest OF the count was made, on the prin-
ciple OF &c unodiSce 0mHes-from one learn
all. We desire to apply this favorite
principle OF Mr.. Field to certain Demo
cratic performances in the city of Gin
cinnati, and hope TO do it with much
higher regard for truth than was exhlb-
tied by the Tilden- Tweed lawyer.
Mr. James White is now on trial, and
Mr.. Epbraim Holland shortly will be,
charged with the wholesale procurement
of illegal votes in behalf of the Demo
cratic ticket, at the October election. 1t
appears in testimony that, on the Sd or
4th of October, (the election was on the
lOth.) Mr.. White temporarily leased of
E. Wassenich, on Fifth street, two rooms
over the latter's restaurant. Numerous
witnesses-make oath that. upon instruc-
tions from White, they assembled (some
fifteen or twenty altogether) at these
rooms on the afternoon of October 9.
with a view to being instrusted how to
make some money on election day. They
there met White and Eph. Holland, and
received five dollars apiece from the lat
latter with the promise Of from $50 to
$25 more on the night Of election. ii they
should carry out the instructions given
to them. There appears to have been a
pretty general understanding that they
were to act as repeaters-they were to

follow the dire ctions OF one Conway. lead
er of the gang. Some of them testify
tat they received assurance from Hol.
land that he would protect them in case
OF trouble
As TO what took place next day the
witnesses are not so numerous. being
naturally unwilling to criminate them
selves. One OF the gang, however, named
| Wheaton, swears that he reported. as
per agreement, next morning. and, to
gether with seven others, headed by Con
way. started on a repeating tour. They
voted at five precincts, avoided two more
because OF too many cops. and finally
broke up at another where Conway swore
in his vote, but was disturbed by an at
tempt to arrest him. A mass OF colleteral
evidence, strongly and almost conclu
sively corroborative of this testimony, i.
already in, with more TO follow. And
this is but a simple sample Of the work
done. From one learn ALL says Mr.
Field; and we learn from this one the
process by which the Republican candi
dates for Congress were beaten in this
county, the process by which Tilden
nearly carried the State, and the process:
by which, doubtless, he won his impor
tant victory in Indiana. and in New
York. 1t is. we believe, not denied that
Mr. Tilden's Bureau sent to this city, or
the eve of the October election, and
through which the Oregon supplies were
furnished. 81 600. Doubtless it was part
of this corruption fund that Mr.. Ephraim
Holland had to pay off this reform gang
OF Mr.. Tilden's supporters.
| Mr.. Holland, as soon as the pursuit be
came warm, fed the city. and lay con
cealed for a long time in New York City
being discovered at last only through the
accidental breaking Of his arm. He il
now returning to those who miss him
and will be judicially exhibited as an
| other lofty case of Democratic reform.
| With such evidence as this throwing 8
broad glare of light upon the Democratic
method Of carrying elections, it is a mar
vel indeed that even paid counsel should
have the brazen hardihood to stand az
and maintain the righteousness Of theiI
cause. From one learn all" indeed
The course pursued in Cincinnati wa:
pursued also in every city of the Union
By the same frauds they carried Indiana
rolled up their immense majorities in
New York City and Brooklyn, carried
the State OF Connecticut and the State o.
New Jersey. And yet they appeal tc
the people of this country to protect
them in their assault upon the Presi
dency l--LCincinnati Times.
