And to understand more clearly in con-
nection with our subject what the commit
tee here say in regard to the character Of
such q water channel, we must call to mind
the fact that the James River and KanaWha
canal is one of the 6 four great competing
commercial lines from the centre Of the
continent to the Atlantic seaboard and the
Gulf Of Mexico y which the committee re-
commend the United States Government to
construct. They must therefore, after this
most thorough investigation OF the sub
jeet, bare come TO the conclusion that it is
iayorably located 6 with respect both TO

1T of these four counties? The answer Is
again obvious; with the exception OF Co.
lumbia they are among the stanchcst Re-
publican counties in the State, while Column
bia usually goes the same way.
See how the Republicans on the committee
propose to treat Monroe. With its flourish
ing city Of Rochester it is one OF the most
rapidly growing counties in the state. Its
representative population, according to the
census OF 1875. was 121 ,Gil, and it has since
been steadily increasing. The Republicans
allow it to retain its three members. Its
excess of population by the last census Is
1926. The reason why these Republicans
are unwilling to give Monroe another mcm-
Der Is that he would almost invariably be 4
Democrat.
Now. we warn Republicans that their
marty in this state cannot make anything
by dealing with this great question in a
manner 80 manifcstly unjust as this.

Three states stolen.

rx-Gov MOSES Of South Carolina tells In
another column Of THE SUN how the cleo
toral vote Of that State was stolen from
TttDrN to whom IL belonged 10y an honest
majority Of more than one thousand. and
given to HAYES. to whom it did not belong.
This extraordinary confession j. made by
one of the most prominent and active of the
Republicans who ruled and robbed South
Carolina for nearly ten years. Since Moses
turned states evidence In order To escape
punishment for his own share in the decade
OF crime he has proved himself n willing
and valuable witness against his late con
fcderatcs. His intimate acquaintance with
the history of the various achievements OF
raacality during his own term OF Office and
the terms Of SCorr and CifANiREHLAIN. has,
we believe. ncvcrbccn questioned This hast
and most important story which he has To
tell is derived from his personal knowledge
of the acts Of the parties directly concerned,
and from the testimony Of his friend. JoHN

spiracy was contaminated.

nicting orders from different courts the Re-
turning Board figured out mnjoritics for the
HAYES electors. ranging from 23D TO LIB
All the country knows that Louisiana and
Florida were stolen for lNYEs. In regard To
5, nth Carolina there has been some doubt.
The managers ~ the Great Fraud have
stoutly maintained from the first that the
state went honestly for HAYES and HAMP-
roN. Satisfied by the establishment OF Il
Democratic state government the people of
South Carolina have not chosen 10 inquire
too closely into the count of the electoral
vote A. for HAYES and his immediate
friends. they have put their hands upon
their hearts and solcmnly said, Whatever
may have been done in Florida and LOUISE
ana, there was no fraud in South Carolina.
That suspicion wrongs " and grcvc- us .'
1t now appears from Mosrs's statement
that JOHS b. DENNIS offered 10 testify hc-
fore the Cochran Investigating Committee
that to his personal knowledge the true re-
turns Of Charleston, Georgetown. and BAR
lington counties were tempered with 10y
THOMAS c. Dunn in the presence Of the
other members Of the Board Of Canvasscrs,
and 50 altered rs to give the State to HAYES.
This testimony was deliberately rejected by
committee OF Democrats. friends of WADE
HAMPTON. and armed by a Democratic Log
isaturc with fun powers to investigate this
audull other frauds in South Carolina. Could
anything throw clearer light upon the char
actor Of the bargain 10y which HAMPTON :
Administrator received the recognition OF
the Fraudulent President Of the United
States
While Fraud sits in the White House the
history of it, birth and progress Is being

"a paltry little million OF dollars, more or
less, year, DR.. HAYES informs us, Is all That
1t costs to maintain the canals. Even this
sum, which he deems so pitGul beg leave
TO assure him, the people Of the state would
sluddcr to see added to their taxes at the
present time. unless for some very good
reason. And what reason does Mr.. HAYES
givcy That the rivarcs Of railroads have
changed the relations of the canals to tho
course Of tradc-thc very railroads of which
ne asserts they are nothing"
We confess that we are unable to quite
comprehend the logic Of this remarkable
speech How happens it that n canal which
has built up the city and the state cannot
continue to be at loast sclfsustaining The
argument strikes Us somewhat as would an
appeal for aims in behalf Of giant CRGsrs,
ON account Of his enormous strength and
wealth.
We have not much apprehension OF tn"
ratification Of this proposed constitutional
amendment, should it ever hc submitted To
the people: while we entertain little doubt
that If its friends will prevail on Mr.. HAYES
to mako another speech in its advocacy
equal to his first, It's fate in the Assembly
will be settled

For the past ten years this shameful Leak
