THE REASON FOR IT.
lRichmond Pree Press
With the Inauguration of Tilden most Of
the republican leaders would be forced 10
absent themselves from the country for an
indefinite length of time
THE FACT STATED.
Hancock Democrat
The national returning board having de-
cided the Louisiana case in favor of the
Hayes electors, that state has been formally
counted for that distinguished representa-
tive OF fraud, corruption and perjury.
A SAD DAY.
Winchester Herald
1t is indeed a sad dag for the honor of our
country when the votes OF a state covered
all over with charges of corruption and
fraud, and these charges not refuted TO the
SATISFACTION OF honest men, as in the case Of
Louisiana, decides the contest
No FILLIBUsTERIEs.
New Albany Ledger Standardl
The Ledger Standard is and has been op-
posed to all schemes of fillibustering to elect
president. It-knows that Tlden is honestly
elected, and the Inauguration of Heyes. after
fraudulent election, Will damn him and his
party beyond the hope of salvation.
FINDS MARES MIST
lJefersonvflle News.l
John Logan did not withdraw from the
senatorial contest because he was beat. but
to get Judge Davis out of the way of getting
on the commission. The ruse was success.
iul, and we prophecy that Black Jack will
be Hayes right bower. and get a position
better than the Illinois senatorship.
THE DEGENERATE COURT.
iCorydon Democratl
Before the selection of this commission.
every one looked upon our supreme court a.
9 fair, just and impartial tribunal. How Is
1t now? There is not child In all the conn
try old enough to read but looks with con
tempt upon this once dignified body.
DISAPPOINTED EXPECTATION.
1t was very generally supposed by the peo-
pie throughout the country that the 70.
called electoral tribunal" was 10 decide the
question of the disputed votes on its merits;
that fraud in the states of Florida and Lon
isana would be probed to the bottom. and
the country given the whole truth in regard
TO the election in these disputed states
WANTS To HEAR FROM TILpEN
Evansville Courierl
Mr.. Tlden has never consented TO 81 bnlit
his claims to the presidency to the decision
Of the eight thieves. The people who
elected him are ready to inaugurate him if
he will but say, Having been fairly elected,
i mean to be inauguratedn Let him but
give the word, and his way to the white
house will be cleared of all obstacles by the
strong arms of the people.
WANTS DELAY.
TLigonier Banner
Though the impression that Hayes will be
inaugurated seems to be general the repub-
licans nevertheless feel quite uneasy. The
Louisiana outrage is so fragrant that the av-
erage republican politician can see nothing
but disaster in the future. IL is very evil
dent that Hsyess Inauguration can be pre-
vented If the democrats of the house so de-
termine. The Sd of March is close at hand;
by judicIous delay the time for declaring a
result can easily be passed by.
ADOLESCENCE DEPENDS.
IMuncie Courier-Journal.l
There is a good deal of talk about whether
the people will acquiesce in the decision of
the so-calhd great tribunal" In our iudg-
ment it depends upon the action of the
commission. If they-that is, majority of
them-as it now seems they intend to do,
make themselves as infamous in fraud as the
Louisiana returning board, we do not be-
lieve the people will submit. In fact, they
should not.
BAD OUTLOOK.
