Enormous Republican Frauds in Cali

The chairman of the finance committee
of the board Of supervisors of San francisco,
on Monday last, made a report to the board
of the investigation by the committee into
alleged frauds at the recent general cleo
ton in that city. The inquiry involved
through canvass of votes cast on certificates
of registration, numbering 1880. The
result is summarized as follows: Not en-
titled to vote on account of non residence,
under age, etc., names for which there are
no affidavits for certificates, 20; double
voters rs; persons voting on concealed
names, 379; names on poll lists not APP
pearing on ward registers, 359; total,
3, COS. The report claims that the above
proportion would bold good had the in.
quiry been carried into the remainder OF
the city, and argues that there must have
been total fraudulent vote of S,l05 The
state was counted for Hayes by a majority
of 2.767-though there is nc. doubt that by
az honest vote it was for Tilden. 1t was
carried for Hayes by the grossest frauds
The investment of half million on the
Pacific slope after the October elections
produced a rich harvest of sllot-box-stuff
ing, repeating, and every form Of election
frauds. 1t was felt that the emergency
was a desperate one and desperate means
were taken to meet it. At the next session
Of congress the iniquity should be
thoroughly investigated.

case of desertion the more magnanimous is
that the three editors of that Journal, who
alone had given it any influences who alone
had given it any influence, were the init
mate and life long personal friends OF my
opponent. It is true, its services were fee
bic, but so conspicuous a disregard for my
sake of public and private decency, ought
to be acknowledged by small share of
official patronage. Great credit is also
due to the New York Tribune, which after
contending in 1872 that the country was
only to be saved by the overthrow of the
Republican party, became the champion
of independent journalism. but is now
happily converted to high sense of public
virtue and party fidelity by the influence
of an eminent gambler of Wall street-my
friend, Mr.. j. Gould. Asour party is the
party Of moral ideas and immoral prac-
tees it can have no filter organ than this
journal which towers to the skies, but sells
liquor in the basement. ~
Having thus returned my thanks to
those to whom am chiefly indebted for
my place by one vote, against general
popular majority of 262, 900, against ma
jority of one million among the white citi-
zens Of the country, against an electoral
majority of 81 votes, and against decided
majority in the two stolen states that we're
counted for me, it might be expected OF
me to announce my policy for the future.
But have not yet consulted with Chan
dler, Morton or Wells, and do not desire
to be premature. AS, however, while ]
was in congress, l voted for every bill tc
initiate the currency. for every subsidy tc
the gigantic railroad corporations. fol-
nearly. every job, and for all Thad Stevens
EXTREMIST measures of southern oppres
sion, you may infer that am not going t.
forget my old friends, whatever | or any
body else may say to the contrary.
RETURNING BOARD HAYES.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-03-08

Returning Board Hayes likens his de-
parture from Columbus to Abraham
Lincoln's departure from Springfield, six
teen years ago. Both Lincoln and Hayes
received a minority Of the popular vote,
but here the resemblance ends. Lincoln
with majority of the electoral vote, was
the lawfully elected president, and he left
Springfield to resume the powers and the
responsibilities which were his by right
Hayes, with at least twelve votes less thai
a majority, is not the honestly elected
president of the United States He leave,
Columbus to occupy an Office which the
people gave 10 another man. Lincolr
bade his neighbors farewell with cleal
conscience and an unsullied reputation
and his expressions of reliance upon divine
aid were prompted by sincere faith
HAYES, with facile tongue, repeats the
solemn words which Lincoln used. His
reliance, however, is upon fraud and dis.
honesty, and the prayer of Lincoln come;
like proclamation from his lips.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-03-08

Ferry summed up the result Of Ed
munds's sharp practice and Joe Bradley s
casting vote, as follows:
For Rutherford B fHayes ............. 1856 votes
For Samuel j. Tilden. .1S4 votes
Wherefore he did solemnly announce
that Rutherford B. Hayes, having re-
ceived a majority of all the electoral votes,
is duly elected president of the United
States The twelve stolen votes Of
Louisiana and Florida were not separ-
ately invoiced by Ferry, but the people dc
not forget that they are in Hayes's 1876
votes. and that they belonged rightfuly tc
Samuel j. Tilden. Leaving all Loubtfu
votes out of the question, Ferrys an
nouncement, if honest, would have been:
For Samuel j. Tilden ...................196 votei
For Rutherford b. Hayes. ........17S vote
The Republican party will have to &c
count for these stolen votes yet.

But the body of the eagle Anvil being of crys-

it has the great advantage, that being Of a more
