For the sake Of peace and quiet. the He

for the right. and Mr.. Hayes was con-
ducted to the seat to which the people
had called him. Then. having lost in
their great game to steal the Presidency,
these two legal trickstsrs began to lay
their plans for 1850. The object was to
keep the statesman Of Grammercy Park
continually before the people as q mar
tyr to Republican injustice. We were
told that he had been privately sworn in
as President in New York City. and as
he has never denied the fact. it Is very
possible that such was the case. But
he soon saw that the Democrats would
not sustain him in melting civil war.
They had enough Of that in 1860. and
they did not propose to ruin their party
again to satisfy his ambition. That
scheme was therefore dropped. and IL
Mr.. Tildsn really took tho oath OF Office
as President, he has been careful never
to attempt to exercise executive duties.
Thon followed a series Of movements.

their object to hold Tilden up to the

thus were given an Importance which

W the sole manipulation Of the defeated
Democrats. Tho climax waa reached
by the Maryland resolution OF Mont
gomery Blair. calling upon Congress to
test the title OF Mr.. Hayes in the Su-
preme Court. and now. as u part and
parcel Of this great political. ons-man
conspiracy. come the alleged confessions
Of McLin aud Dennis, charging that the
State Of Florida really voted for Tildsn,
but That they. the eonscience-stricken
csnfsssors. fraudulently gave it to Ruth
srford d. Hayes.
A. To tho value OF this confession"
as testimony to the main fact. IL need
only be- remarked that 1t was bought
and paid for by the Democratic Attor-
nsy General Of the State Of Florida.
After Dennis made his confession.
eleven indictments found against him
in Maehus and Levy counties, were nols
pressed. Comment is uncalled for. and
we leave IN intelligent public to judge
how much faith is to be placed in q
confession secured by an unblushing
compromising Of felony. With the
truth or falsity Of these charges, we
have no desire to vrestls. As legal evi.
dsncs. they amount to nothing. and
there We leave them. Our object Is.
simply to show why they are made at
this time. and how futile they are liable
to prove in sfiectins their object.
