Fellow CITIZENS We have reached
the close of political contest marked by
the excitement which usually attends
the contests between great political par
ties whose members espouse and advo-
cate with earnest faith their respective
creeds. The circumstances were perhaps
in no respect extraordinary, save in the
closeness and the consequent uncertainty
of the result. For the first time in the
history of the country it has been deem
ed best, in view of the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, that the objections
and questions in dispute, with reference
to the counting of the electoral votes,
should be referred to the decision of the
tribunal appointed for this purpose.
The tribunal, established by law for this
sole purpose, its members, all of them,
men of long established reputation for
integrity and intelligence. and, with the
exception of those who are also men,
bers of the supreme judiciary, chosen
equally from both political parties, its
deliberation enlightened by the research
and the arguments of able counsel, was
entitled to the fullest confidence of the
American people. :.
It's decisions have been patiently wait
ed for and accepted as loyalty conclusive
by the general judgement of the public
for the present opinion will widely vary
as to the wisdom of several conclusions
announced by the tribunal this is to be
anticipated. In every instance where
matters of dispute are made the subject
Of arbitration under the form of law,
human judgment is never unerring and
Is ready regarded as otherwise than
wrong by the unsuccessful party.
