A Question Legally Answered
A Democratic subscriber asks:

A Democratic subscriber asks:
Snow that Mr.. Bradley has full
" committed himself to the doc
trine that there is no redress
against fraud, | would like to ask
him this question: If Mr.. Bradley
were to give A his check for $40,
and A, proving to be an expert
forgcr, should "raise" this check
to 81 400, and receive from the
bank the larger amount, would
Mr.. Bradley, on settlement with
the bank, endorse the act O.; the
forger and allow the claim of the
bank for the amount of the check
as raised, or go behind the face of
the check, denounce it as a fraud,
and deliver up the forger to JUS
ticey" b.
Mr.. Bradley has not commit
ted himself to the doctrine that
there is no redress for fraud
There is "redress for fraud" Jus
tice Bradley in his decision on the
Louisiana case has exhibited to
the world the "redress for fraud
The decision of the Grand Com
mission simply shows that
elections are carried by murder,
intimidation, and ballot box stuff
ing, wont work in America. The
commission ofwhieh Mr.. Bradley
seems to have been the deciding
member have shown to the Amer
lean people that there is "redless
fraudn under the form of law.
Bull doing, and ballot box
stufing wont work.
Then again there is the Oregon
case. In this State the Republi-
can electors had received a ma
.jority of 1856. The Governor
however being,a Democrat, and
seeing that Tilden needed one
more vote to be elected, gave the
certificates of election to a Demo
crat who was defeated, and this
Democrat, whose name was Cro-
min, called in two other men and
formed an Electoral College Of
their own and cast the vote of the
State, 2 for Hayes and l for Til
den. So when the Electoral Com
mission examined into the case
they thought there was "redress
for fraud" and decided that Hayes
& Wheeler had carried that State
and therefore we're entitled to its
electoral votes.

Settled At Last.

Now for four years of peace.
The election excitementis ended;
Oregon gone for Hayes & Wheel,
er; So said the electoral tribunal
on Friday last. Now that the Re
publican candidates have been
elected twice the country should
and will be satisfied, and Hayes
Il Wheeler will be inaugurated
next Monday. The Oregon case is
familiar to the readers of the
HERALD; it needs not repetition
here. The following resolution
was adopted by. the commission
by Il vote of tot:
"Resolued, That Odell, Cartwright,
and Watts, were duly elected
Electors from the State of Ore
gon, and therefore their votes on
ly should be counted"
In the face of the facts as they
were, that Oregon did vote for
Hayes IL Wheeler, and under
their oathes of office, the Demo
cratic members Of the commits
sion voted "nay." viii we call it
perjury9 If not, then what9 Well
may the country rejoice that
there we're only seven partisans on
the commission, and that there
were eight unprecedented members
TO settle themuch vexed question.
Now that all is we'll that ends
well, peace and prosperity will
spread over the broad land; sec
tional animosities will vanish, and
once more we'll be a happy and
united people, r

". s. Upton,
w. o. WIGGINS,
~Rdlheaferd u. Hayes.

The American people may well
pc proud of the noble character Of
the man who is TO be their next
President. Through a campaign
in which all the possible means
for the destruction of mans char
acter that Democracy with its eX-
traordinTy ability for such work
could contrivc, he has borne him
self with that same dignity of
manhood that has ever marked
his political career and is without
one blemish to-day as the leader
of the people. We have had a
most exciting canvass, party strife
has run to great extremes, talk of
civil war has again sounded in our
ears. men have viewed our condi-
ton with great anxiety for the
welfare of our nation, we have
heard again as VIC did in 'G1, that
"the American bubble was about
TO burst,p but Providence evi
IDENTIFY rules the other way. With
all the talk. Of strife and what
should and what should not take
place we believe the hearts of the
people have been all right the
entire time We were all glad when
we knew the Commission were
appoiAted and as a. people are
ready to take their decision as a
sinai settlement of all question.
In the judgment of this Com
mission MIR. Hayes was duly elect
cd President last November and
we are thus, assured that after all
She excitement we are to have q
man to stand at the head of our
nation and execute our laws who
has ever been faithful to truth and
honesty and who has ample abil-
ity. We predict that the people
of our country and Of the South
especially will find in him their
ideal President. His character
has been subjected to the closest
scrutiny during the campaign,
and that in a vindictive spirit.
His executive ability has been
tested during three terms as Gov
ernor of the great State Of Ohio,
and through all he is the same
true man growing more andmoro
popular and continually gaining
a deeper hold on the hearts Of the
people. Since the election Mr..
Tilden has been constantly losing
favor and is less respected today
than ever before. The campaign
has not developed anything in Mr..
Tilden but a political manager
and trickster of extraordinary
ability but all the Vaccinations
have failed and another .blotched
page is added to the record of the
Democratic party. With the in,
auguration of Mr.. Hayes will
come peace of mind, good feeling
and better times.

hard-earned, blood-stained pos
sessions. NOTICE is now served on

what Hayes Intends Doing.

Mr.. Foster, Congressman from
Ohio, who represents Hayes old
district in a speech a few days
since said:
"You people Of the south have
lost your president, but you have
gained a great deal. You have
gained control of your own state
affairs. The days of carpet bag
gers are gone; the days Of ignor-
ant and corrupt officials have
gone.
Gov. Hayes is determined to
put the best men he can find in
charge of affairs in the south,
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR POLITICS
may be. He, of course will win
the respect and sympathy Of your
people by this course. Indeed,
with your states rights protected
and your federal officials ire.
proachable, there is no reason
why your people should not
strike with the republicans, sweep
away the dead issues that have
DIVIDED THE PARTIES IN THE PAST.
But, beyond all considerations
Of u political nature, the south
deserves well of the country.
The splendid patriotism, and
the wise craftsmanship that. has
governed the southern congress
men in the late crisis, has won
the respect and affection of the
whole northern people. There can
be no more southern questions
i'll politics. t u
THAT HAS PASSED AWAY,
and new issues must be made.
The south has demonstrated her
fidelity to law and order, and has
shown that she loves country bet
ter than party. A fuse Of her
sentiment will never make politi-
cal caDital again.
No southern man knows, or can
ever know
TIE WONDERFUL EFFECT PRODUCED
on the masses Of the north or the
and lofty action of the
south during the past twenty
days"
