the mob started in pursuit, threatening to
capture Gary, and drive the officers from

The PROOF Coming.
tPhiladelphia Times.


In response to request of the Times for
little more information about the two visit
ing statesmen who counseled the fraudulent
opening of the returns of De Soto parish in
the New Orleans post Office and the insertion
of fraudulent protest, the Washington Post
offers some information. The legal proof,
we are informed, is now in documentary
form '.in the hands of gentleman who has
been at work for more than year ferreting
out the processes Of the fraud By
which Mr.. Hayes became de facto
President. The proofs which this gentleman
has collected, and which he will soon promul-
gate in an effective manner, are sufficient TO
send John Sherman and Edwin w. Stoughton
to the penitentiary, provided they can be ar
raigned before any unprejudiced and unpur-
chasable jury" This is getting at the mar
row of the Louisiana atrocity in way which
every honest man must respect, and it is to
be hoped, as q matter of justice, that the
Post understands fully Just what it was say
ing. It would be rather unfortunate for the
administration if the two visiting statesmen,
who have been given the best places, should
turn out to be those who committed the
greatest crime in that long list of Louisiana
crimes.
