Hunt would have had the honor Of ialI with Gov.
Allen and then II It had not been for sam. TdeD, there
Is r,c telling what might have happened"
The able editors who are impressed with the
significance OF the "immense popular majority which
Mr.. Tilden received, should ponder for few moments
upon the following pregnant paragraph which occurs In
one OF Mr. Red1elds letters: "The that TiIdcn
has popular majority OF 241 46I Hayes because
large portion Of the black vote the cotton states has
suppressed made TO vote the ticket they hate
This Is fair estimate Of The suppressed vote including
also those who were compelled to vote for Tdcn against
their wll Alabama 35 900 Georgia, 5000; louisiana
$1,000; Mississippi, 10000; South Carolina, 1900;
Texas, 40 900 total 253 600 This cuts away Iildens
boasted popular majority" en- irey. With perfectly
fair election he would have no majority either upon the
when all her legal voters have voice. cmpbaticaly
Republican Massachusetts she carried FOR 1Gen
by suppresslng tens OF thousands OF legal voterslega
in the eyes OF the law and the 81. Louis platform"
Senator Sharon of Nevada, whose ownership.
in the silver mines OF his State makes his opinion OF
especial value. says he has changed his mind on the
question OF double standard Before leaving San Fran
cisco for Washington last week. he said to reporter OF
The Chronicle: AT one time I inclined toward the
double standard, but have slightly modified my views
on that point IL what about say is modification
would advocate making silver legal tender
in sums Of from $50 to 500. This would be sufficient
for all ordinary transactions. 1t would silver 10
appreciate and be OF special assistance to the people
Of this coast We cannot very we'll make silver by law
equal gold in value II 1t does not have the value
in other countries. II did and other countries
wholly or in part demonezed IT, We should be flooded
with the cheaper metal and drained Of the more pre-
ciOus. That i3 simple law OF political economy that
no one gainsay. There Is nN important problem
offered, In the solution OF which the gradual equalization
of the trade OF this country with other countries will
materially assist"
Ex-senator Lyman TruDbull addressed
meeting Of citizens IN Chicago on Saturday evening
the questions relating 10 the Presidential controversy
Speaking OF his observations in NewOrleans, he said
"The real Tden majority 1857, as the Democrats
could show from statements drawn from the regis
traton books and voting lists No statements OF ntim
daton had as yet been filed, but when the Republicans
found themselves beaten they set up the cry OF ntm
datOn and 'bulldozlng,' &c. &c When contested
turn came in before the board taken into private
room, into which Democrat ever entered When a
turn was all right 1t taken into private to DO
compiled. The board refused TO send TO the clerks
offices and get duplicate returns get copies tho
preense that they had nothing to do with what not
sent them They would only the votes before
them In addition to this the United marshal ap-
pointed deputies s. day under the pretcnse Of pre-.
serving peace majority Of them being coored.
And yet this board, by taking advantage Of echn
calities which even they had committed but hadn't
counted when on their side, found Tldens majority
5000 Afterw8rd the Republicans declared, without
why wherefore that the Hayes electors had some
thing over 5000 majority. Whom Wells o. the Returning
Board asked If lie had proper count Of the vote
full Of it, for general information he said he
had not, but lac thought he could have one made" As
for intimidation, Mr.. Trumbul said IL the truth
came out he believed IL would be found that there
murders, more scourgngs.mOre Whppngs.and more
abuse OF cOlOIcd by their own race for voting the
Democratic ticket than Of cOOred persons BY whites for
voting the Republican ticket.
