the money at some place other than New
York, possibly to avoid detection. On
December 3 he gets telegram from *,
Of San Francisco, that he has raised the
money ION his individual responsibility,
and that he hopes to be reimbursed
We know, by evidence already in, that
this money was sent from San Francisco
to Portland, and that Cronin got $1,000
Of it.
On December 5, Kelly, needing more
money, again telegraphed Pelton as fol-
lows: Cant you deposit the eight with
Charles Dimond, subject the order Of
Ladd a Bush, Salem7 Can't get money
here. Must have it Wednesday Tele-
graph me at Salem"
To this Pelton replied, on the next day
December 6) that the money had been
deposited as directed. We know, by ev-
idence already in, that this farther mon
| ey $4,000 was sent through Tilden's
bank, to Ladd K Bush, at Salem, by tele-
graph, and that it was afterward return
ed to New York, it being probably found
that a Republican Elector could not be
bought and that the money received
/ from San Francisco was enough for Gro
min and the Counsel" This last $4,000
was sent by the bank of which Tilden is
a Director and sent without any collat-
eral being deposited, or any entry being
made on the books-the cashier testifes
to this. This seems to bring the bribe
directly home to Mr.. Tilden, late partner
of Tweed. Let it be borne in mind, also
that these dispatches fro.l Oregon were
sent direct TO TiIden's house. in Gramer
cy Park.
We can not find words with which tc
characterize this proceeding; but word.
are unnecessary-the country will IN
derstand it. Tilden, having spent a good
part Of his seven millions in other elec
ton frauds, did not hesitate to invest
$4,000 in purchasing Republican Elec
tor. But the Elector was not to bs
bought; and all that remains to Tilder
for his pains is the iLfamy Of the at
tempt. 1t is a record that might make
Boss Tweed himself blush. II stamps
the Democratic party with a brand o
shame.

bility OF Chaffee, an Elector from Illinois,
when votes of both those States have
been counted for Hayes by the joint con-
vention. One Interpretation OF the mat
ter, which possesses considerable plausi-
bility, 10 that those things are parts of
the plan by which David Dudley Field
and the more extreme Tilden managers
hope to induce the House, at some stage
of the counting, in case the Commission
decides Louisiana for Hayes, to declare
that there has been no election of Presi-
dent, and to at once proceed to elect Til
den. 1t is certain that a number OF in
huential Democrats here still assert the
right of the House to do this at any
stage of the proceedings, and maintain
that this right, being constitutional, can
not be taken away by the Electoral bill.
The same class of men talk about break
ing up the Commission by the resigna-
ton OF the Democratic members, and the
refusal OF the House to fill the vacancies.
The Republicans are not i'm the least
disturbed by these indications. They
feel confident that large number OF
Democrats will steadily oppose such
measures and defeat them by their votes,
if necessary Under the rules governing
the count, there is no species Of hllibus-
tering possible that will not require a
majority vote to carry on. In case OF
vacancies on the Commission, the argu-
ment in writing, signed by Senator Ste
venson, on the part of the Senate Demo
Gratis, and Mr.. Lamar on the part of those
in the House, binding their party in
each House to fill such vacancies, would
of itself make it impossible to carry the
honorable men on that side for propo-
sition to ignore written compacts. 1t is
understood that the next report to be
taken up is Morrison's and that an at
tempt will be made TO give an oppor-
tunity in the House for all the members
to make the speeches they have prepared
and then declare by vote, as in the case
of Florida to-day, that the Tilden Elec
tors in Louisiana were elected. This
course is expected Immediately after the
decision Of the Electoral Commission.
Mr.. Field also went on today taking
testimony in the Louisiana case, and the
ground he is still trying to cover relates
to questions about which no one expects
the Commission to admit testimony, and
this persistence of Field has strengthen
ed the conviction that the ultimate de
signs of those acting with Field is TO in
duce the House, if possible, to proceed tc

There is a contest in the Ohio Senate
between two of the candidates for Judge
in Hamilton county. Evidence is being
taken in the case The notorious Demo
cratic gambler, Eph. Holland, gave his
testimony last week. and it is fully re-
ported in the Cincinnati papers. He
says that he has personal knowledge of
156 illegal Democratic votes polled in
October, and 500 more were reported to
him. Gangs of man were sent from New
York. Baltimore, Indianapolis, and other
places, who voted many times at differ
ent voting precincts, and they all voted
the Democratic ticket.
Now is Democratic insolence almost
past endurance. These fellows are con-
stantly bowling about frauds. while a
dozen Of them have already been. sent to
the Penitentiary from Cincinnati alone
for illegal voting, and Holland makes il
plain that both members of Congress
and all the county officers, were elected
by fraudulent votes. And such is Tilden
and reform r.

The Journal then says:

When the game was inaugurated, and
the fifteenth man was to take the place
of the man provided by the Constitution
to have charge of the electoral votes, the
Portsmouth Times. and nearly all the
other rebel papers, were in high glee.
Now they whistle out of the other corner
Of their mouths. Hear the Times:
The Patent Returning Board at Wash
ington has made itself a National dis
grace.
Ali indeedl But suppose you had got
Davy Davis in place of Bradley. How
then?
The House should fllibuster any
thing to prevent the triumph of the Elec-
toral thieves.
Now there is a chance for the Ports
mouth rebels to "fillibuster" Buckle on
your armor and 60 in.
The Returning Boards committed
thefts, and the Electoral Commission
conceals the stolen goods.
But what are you going to do about it2
The Commission is farce. 1t refuses
to do the very thing for which it was
created-investigate who is entitled to
the vote of the disputed States.
That investigation was made by the
Returning Boards, and you have no way
to help yourself.
Every Democratic member Of the Elec-
toral Commission should resign to save
his selfrespect. 1t is a disgrace to be-
long to that stultified body.
Let them resign. There would still
be eight-a quorum, left, and all of them
Republicans. Let the rebel part of the
fifteen step down and out. They are of
no consequence where they are.

We read in the Bible where mar
built gallows on which he hoped to sec
another man hanged, but he lived to be
hanged upon his own gallows. This i:
the sad fate of the rebel Democracy
They got up side show, hoping by some
trick to get Tilden into the Presidency.
Now they are caught.
Hero is what the Marietta Times, a
paper of the bull-dozer persuasion, says:
Why is the Electoral Commission like
a young woman2 Because it is a dam-sel
That is quite witty; but here is some.
thing more serious, and more to the
point:
1t is pity that Vice President Ferry
was not allowed to do the bull-dozing
for Hayes. 1t would have saved the rep
utation of the Supreme judges.
You are correct. Ferry was the man
designated by the Constitution.
This bulldozer becomes still more ear
nest and serious, and says:
The Democrats can prevent Judge
Bradley from counting Hayes in if they
see fit to use the power that the law Gre
ating the Electoral Commission places in
their hands. All they have to do is to
object to counting the vote of each State
as the roll is called, and thus consume
the time, and leave seven States uncoun-
ted when the 4th of March comes. This
would make the President OF the Senate
acting President until next fall when a
new election for President would be held
under the law of 1892 When you are
dealing with desperate men desperate
measures are justifable. A burglar
should be fought with a revolver.
That is it. Assassination and murder
are cardinal Democratic doctrines.

THE PRESIDENCY.

On Saturday last the House of Repre-
sentatives took recess until Monday
and on Saturday night the Democrats
held a caucus, and agreed not to fllibus
ter, but to go on with the count, but on
Monday the House again adjourned to
Tuesday
When the compromise juggle was en-.
acted we said 1t would cause more trou.
BILE, excitement and dissatisfaction, than
it would to count the electoral votes as
they have always been counted. We be.
lieve so still There is intense excite.
ment in Washington City and the end
is not yet.

ONCE MORE

At o'clock last Friday, the Commis-
sion decided the Louisiana case, and or
dered its full vote to be counted for
Hayes and Wheeler. This leaves moth
ing in serious dispute except the Oregon
rascality. We never thought there was
anything in this case, but we cannot tell
what the result will be. Both parties
now regard the question as virtually set
tied in favor of Hayes and Wheeler.
Unless the Democrats go back of their
solemn agreement to abide the decision
OF their own tribunal, and consume time
on purpose to make trouble, we shall
surely know the result before the next
issue of our paper.

The Commission of fifteen, appointed
by an act Of Congress, to elect a Presi-
dent, is body unknown to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, but the law
creating it is a Democratic law. The
vote by which it became a law showed,
in the two Houses Of Congress, l92 Dem
ocrats for it, with only 10 against it.
There were Sc Republicans for it, and s.
against it. And still the Democracy is
not happy.
