gave effect end vitality to that forgery,
and without it there was no legally
drawn and properly authenticated return
from the State giving its vote to HAYES
and WHEELER. This forgery is shown
by the testimony Of one of their own
men, and is not attempted to be denied
by the Republicans. The lame excuses
which they ctier for its commission are
impoient to destroy the damaging effect
which it must hsYe upon the reckless and
unprincipled character Of the men who
handled the election machinery in Lou
isiana
1t has been shown that JOHN SHEER
MAN, whom Mr.. HAYES has made his
Secretary Of the Treasury, was engaged
with other visiting statesmen" and the
Louisiana Returning Board, IN q cOnspir-
acy to make HAYES President when he
knew that TILDEN had been elected.
This has been shown to the satisfaction OF
every body, and OF so much on the testi-
mony Of ANDERSON as by that of NJ.
SHERMAN himself. The first and fore.
most part of the evidence to substsntiate
this statement is the following letter bear
ing Mr.. SHERMAN's signature:
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20, 1876.
GESTLEMEN-Yourn note of even date
has lust been received. Neither. Mr..
HAYES myself, the gentlemen who &C.
COmOany me, OF the country Gt largo
can ever forget the Obligations under
which you will have placed US, should
you stand firm III the position you have
taken. From long and intimate &C
ouaintguce with Governor Hayes, l am
justified in assuming responsibility for
promises made, and will guarantee that
YOU shall be provided for as soon after
the 4th Of March as may be practicable,
and in such manner rs will enable you
both to leave Louisiana should you deem
it necessary. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
