THE SOLID TRUTH.

In a recent speech at Terre Haute,
Senator Dan. Voorhees, said: "Let
the Democratic party get into power
in both branches of Congress, and
you will see bills passed withoutlim-
itations that viii bring substantial
relief to the country. The Senate is
a Republican body, but on the 4th
day of next March, even though you
should lose a Democratic Senator
in Indiana-it does not depend on
that-the Senate will be Democratic
as well as the House. The die is
cast, the ediet has gone forth, that
on the 4th OF March the Democratic
party will take possession without
a contingency. Then l will be will
ing for the party to be tested; then ]
will be willing for the responsibility
to. come. Thus far you a form
only an imperfect judgment. Thus
far you can only say that the Demo
cratic party where it has been trust
ed hds done the best it could. l,
could not bring relief, for it has mo-
had full power. When we Obtain
both branches of Congress then We
will be ready to meet the full respon
sibility, and l am not afraid to NEE
the responsibility,

Gen. Grant has written a letter to
say That nothing could induce him
to become a candidate for President
again. That settles it. In 1866 he
wrote to his friend Isaac N. Morris of
Illinois, that nothing could induce
him to become a candidate for Pres
ident at all, and then he went to
work with all his might to get him
self nominated by the Democrats.
and failing in that, finally took up
with the Republicans. If he is not
a candidate in 1880 il will be be-
cause he can find ne party fool
enough to nominate him.

be the final result Of existing differ

that Che decision of the
Louisiana Supreme Court in the case
of Anderson, pronounced that Tilden
had 5 900 majority over Hayes. For
the Commissions returns gave that
result; the~electeraI vote for Hayes
was not based on those returns, but
on the consolidated returns, which
the courtldecided were not legal doc
uments, for forging which, Ander-
son could rot therefore be held.
Nov suppose the Electoral Commits
sion had looked back of the Cover
nor's certificate to see upon what the
returns were founded. It would
have found that they were based up
on the consolidated returns which
the Supreme Court decides possess

on which the certificate should hav'
been based showed a large msjorit.

There is no longer any doubt that
prominent Democrats are preparing
a bill to provide for testing the title
of President Hayes in the Supreme
Court. The understanding is that
the bill is already drawn, but that
events in Louisiana have made furth-
er delay necessary. 1t cannot be
ascertained who has the bill in pos
session, but it is asserted by Repub-
Gcan journals that the movement had
its origin with Mr. Tilden and his
New York legal advisers. The pur-
pose Of the bill is to give the Su-
preme Court full machinery for pros
ecuting all branches of such a case.

The utter h%ollowness of the repub-

in the facts-that for years he has by
the republican party been kept out

list, the radicals raise a howl. 1t
was not because they love Shields
that he was brought forward for a

Old red wooden bridges are sugges-

such shelters for loafers and vaga
