week when one of the Hayes votes
from Nevada had been called In ques-
tlon, without cause or honesty, as the
event proved-neither House sustain
ed the objection. "Wednesday Therefore,
the Joint convention re-assembled and
the three votes of that State were
counted for Hayes. Then followed, in
succession, the States of New Hamp-
shire. with votes for Hayes and
Wheeler: New Jersey, 0 votes for Til
den and Hendricks; New York, 81
votes for Tilden and Hendricks; North
Carolina, 10 votes for Tilden and Hen
bricks; Ohio. - votes for Hayes and
Wheeler.
The two certificates from Oregon
were next presented, of course both
were objected to. Then followed an
other siege before the Electoral Com
mission, lasting from one O'Clock on
Wednesday until four o'clock Friday
afternoon. We will not attempt to
follow the details Of the proceeding.
The Democrats, taking different and
conflicting grounds with each contest,
were obliged again TO change attor-
neys, Judge Hoadley and Mr.. Merrick
appearing. The Republicans were
represented as before by Mathews and
Evarts. There was no attempt to
count Cronin's vote for Tilden-the
effort being to disffanchi-e the State
by throwing ii out. But the law was
most clearly against this, as the Com
mission decided by the same old 5 to :.
This, OF course, terribly enragei the
Mexican wing of the Democracy, and
on the meeting of the House next
morning. they made frantic efforts to
delay by taking recess until Monday.
In this they were defeated by about
one half the Democrats voting with
the Republicans. The Joint Conven-
ton met accordingly at noon Satur-
day and received the decision Of the
Commission as TO Oregon. 1t was
promptly objected 10 by the Demo
Gratis and the Houses separated. The
struggle for mischieyous delay was re-
newed in the House and again defeat
81. The Senate sustained and the
House negatived the decision, and
therefore when the Joint Convention
met at three o'clock, the vote of Ore
gon was announced and recorded for
Hayes.
Pennsylvania WAS the next State,
and revolutionary objection was
made to counting the vote Of one of
her electors. That this was the char
acter of the objection was proven when
the House, on Monday, after another
unsuccessful effort of the conspirators
10 adjourn, sustained it by bare ma
jority. AT 3:l5, the Houses having
failed TO agree upon rejection, Penn
-ylvania was counted for HAYES in
joint convention: Rhode Island, the
next State, was also objected TO by
the Democrats on purely technical
grounds and for dilatory purposes.
But on separation both Houses
promptly repudiated the objection
the usual fight against delay having
first To he made i'm the the House-and
The joint convention, re-assembling al
six =. m. counted her six votes for
Hayes and Wheeler.
South Carolina came next before the
conyention-and nothing better illus
trates the total depravity of the Demo-
cratic obstructioni-t than the fact that
the vote of the Hayes electors was
objected 10, Notwithstanding the anan-
in,ous report of the Democratic House
committee who visited the State, that
they were fairly elected. There being
two sets of certificates from this State,
III course the next proceeding must be
before the Electoral Commission
and here Tuesday all day was
spent. The Democrats first said
they would not appear by counesl
but finally Judge Black and Monty
Blair volunteered. The arguments
were very tame and the whole pro-
ceedings a farce, ~ every one knew
that there was nothing in it but de-
lay. Late Tuesday evening the Com
mission decided TO count the Hayes
yotes-the seven Democratic members
not irving to redeem themselves from
the charge of partisanship by voting
aye.
The proceedings on Wednesday
have not reached US, but as every State
even claimed as doubtful, and others
beside, have been put TO the test devised
aud made law by Democratic states
men, there can no longer he an honest
objection to Hayes peaceful inougera-
1ion. The form of counting the Elector-
al votes of Tennessee, Texas, Vermont,
West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin still remains TO be gone through.
But a. they are all Democratic States
save Vermont and Wisconsin, and as
no valid objection has ever for mo-
tnent obtained aglii.4.. t.ic Vote of
either G. Lnese two state. IL would
seem that doubt must he finally at an
end.
