THE FAMOUS WHITE ELEPHANTS OF

THE FAMOUS WHITE ELEPHANTS OF
SIAM.
The oldest of the white elephants,
which, the Times 9T Mdta says,
was born IN 1870, died in its tenn

Every one knows that this famous
white elephant, before which whole

ought to be satisfied with the oral
assurance of so distinguished a rep
resentative Of the Republican party,
and there-upon; to Quiet them, she
dictated, with the help of Repub-
lican official in New Orleans, re-
ply which shoild pass off as Sher-
mans. No one who ever read his
reply believes that it was her pro
duction. But even if it were, it still!
remains that all the assurance of
aid and comfort which Mr.. Sher-
man is charged with having given
TO the conspiracy arc substantiated
by this woman, brought forward to
acquit Sherman of this letter, which,
after all, is only one itoth of evi-
derce 10 stistafn the fact of his aC-
tion to which she testified.
S. Without either AnGerson's
evidence or Z. L. Wcber's, the
conspiracy to count out the Felit:i-
ahas, under pretensc of violence
that never existed, is made out; and
the probable cause which appears
for assuming that this action was
the result Of promises and protec-
ton from the visiting statesmen is
strengthened by the fact that in
Louisiana, as we'll as in Florida,
everybody that was connected with
the fraud is in Office. This list is
too long to give here: 1t reaches
from the Returning Board to Mrs;
Jenks' brother. No gH:ity than
escapes.
s. As to the forged electoral re-
turns. The Constitution requires
separate votes 10 lie cast for Presi-
Dent and Vice President and dis
tinct certificatlons to be made of
those votes. But in Louisiana the
electors voted for both officers in
one ballot and embraced the rctnrn
in one certificate. The Democrats
claim this was constitrtionally de-
fective, and that neither Congress
nor any other tribunal would have
counted the vote of State thus
certified had tie fact appeared; and
that by some arrangcintht it die
not appear. Whether the difficulty
be SO serious as this or not it is at
least time that the Republicans re
garded it as most important, for
they opcued the returns in Waslt-

thc Potter Committee,
Iu what follows an attempt is
made to present briefly what has
really been established by the evi
dence before the committee
/. The Presidential election could
only be carried for Hayes by count
ing his electors in both the States
of Louisiana and Florida. In Flor
ida the Canvassing Board dssdtbed
without warrant of law to exercise
discretionary powers and to alter
the results appearing upon the re-
turns. This the Courts have since
decided to be Unlawful, and their
determination have been that in
that State at least Tilden, and not
Hayes, was elected upon the votes
returned.
2. Testimony taken in Florida
and in Washington shows that in
the votes returned there were the
grossest frauds. Ii is established
on unimpeachable testimony that
in Baker county the canvass er>
first counted one or two disputed
returns and later discarded the re-
turns they had once counted and
counted the returns from that coun-
tJ they had previously rejected fo'
no reason except to make the fig
ures come out for M;. Hayes. lu
Alachua county it is shown that
the election officers brought the
returus to Mr.. Dennis, Chairman
of the Republican County Com
mittee, and upon his upbraiding
them with the showing they pro-
6eeded to his house to add PIG
fictitious names and as many fcti
tious Republican votes to the re-
turns. McLiu, one of the Safe
Canvassers says they canvassed
the returns under positive assur
ance OF reward, which Moves de
nies but it is understood Wallace
admits.
Bot in this connection it is most
significant thar every me injected

SOME of the newspapers of the far
east are approaching sensible finan-
cial view of things. The Nashua IN.
H. Gazette says:
Specie payment is all we ought to
attempt, for it 10 all we at any time
promised. Those who insist on re-
sumption in gold are asking more
than was promised, and the payment
in one metal to the exclusion Of the
other gives the one used an increased
purchasing power, and in that way
makes the load on the indebted class
proportionately heavier, the differ
ence amounting by some estimates on
an Indebtedness of $4,000, ,OOO, 900 to
about $600,00O,O00. This little differ.
ence, added to the receivers, is more
than our present or past calls for, and
1t need not and should not be made
unless the law and contract call for
it.
The Gazette don't begin TO state the
correct amount of additional load
that would be put upon the debtor
class by the adoption Of the single
gold standard, but it is refreshing to
have some evidence Of returning rea.
son exhibited in eastern journalism
on this subject among the goldite pa
pera.

The Cedar Rapids Times, discus
sing Gov. Gears inaugural, SAYS:

On the question of resumption the
Governor is sufficiently explicit. He
is no greenbacker. He is in favor of
specie payment at an early day. But
on the RECOMMENDATION of silver he
certainly delivers no uncertain sound.
"All the political parties in the state
have adopted resolutions in favor of
the reconciliation Of silver" When
did the republican party of Iowa
adopt such resolution?
The republican party of Iowa
adopted such a resolution in Des
Moines, juno 27, 1877; and here it is
5. The silver dollar having been
the legal unit of value from the
foundation of the Federal Govern
ment until 1873, the law under which
its coinage was suspended should be
repealed at the earliest possible day,
and silver made, with gold, a legal
tender in payment of all debts, both
public and private.
The fact is that it has been the po-
sition of the republican party for
years that gold and silver were to be
the coin upon which we should
resume. During the Presidential
campaign of '76, no other phase of
resumption was talked about upon
the stump or through the Iowa press,
than upon the basis of gold and silver.
Rutherford Il. Hayes could not have
carried the state of Iowa upon sim
gle gold standard platform.

The New Orleans Times informs
President Hayes that interference in
behalf of the Returning Board is a
moral and physicalimpossibility and
adds: "The situation may be dis
agreeable to Mr.. Hayes, but the log.
ic Of events is superior to his wishes
at this time, and he can do nothing
but let the law of the state take its
course, whatever may be the conse.
Quences to the men who placed him
In Office"
President Hayes ought not to be
disappointed at this resolve on the
part Of those whom he has put in
power in Louisiana. They will &C.
cept the kindness of the President,
but when it comes to be repaid they
will prove as false as their hearts are
black with treason's unmollified hate.

John Sherman's Six-Line Come.
dy of Errors.
From the Cincinnati Times

The Secretary of the Treasury has
lately (January lS) written a letter
on the silver question to the Burling-
ton Ka,okeye; and it is altogether
one Of the best jokes that that humor-
GUS paper has published for this many
a day. Our paper is too small, and
life is too short to explain all the
amazing errors in this short commu-
nication of scarce twenty lines; but,
for the sake Of humanity, we make at
least one desperate effort at analyzing
the following short extract, and no.
ticing the errors it contains:
The old. silver dollar, if any are in existence,
coined before 1873, are legal tender for all sums,
but practically there have been none in circula.
tion since 1881, when the change was made in the
standard from fifteen of silyer TO one Of gold, to
sixteen to one; but all silver coins are now le-
gal tender to the extent of IS.
l. "Ihe old s,lrer dollar coined be-
fore 1873, is legal tender for all sums" !"
This is an error. Section 1856 of
the Revised Statutes provides, "The
silver coins of the United States shall
be legal tender at their nominal val.
ue for any amount not exceeding five
dollars in any one payment"
2. "Practically there haue been
none in circulation since 1887"
Error again. The circulation, II
the halves (Which wers then full
weighD are included, reached very
high figure.
3. "Since 1887, When the change
,cas made in the standard from fifteen
Of stlrer to one cf gold to si1teen To
one"
There are so many errors in the
above that we must divide them into
sub-heads:
a. The standard was not changed
from 15:l to l6;l in 1887.
b. No such change took place al
any timc in our coinage history.
c. The standard was not ISL in
1887, nor was it l6 i subsequently,.
d. The standard never was l6:l.
e. The change which he so inac.
curately refers to took place in 1884
and was change in the ratio (by
means of scaling the gold dollar-the
silver dollar remaining tho same
from Is Il to l6.O02l5:l.
f. Tho change which did take
place in 1887 was decrease in the
the silver side of tho ratio instead Of
an increase. 1t was change (agair
made by altering the gold dollar
from l6.002l5 Il to 159SS37 Il.
4. "But all silver coins are nop &
legal tender to the e1tent ofs5."
The trade dollar, which containt
APO grains of silver 900 pure, which
is Of the ratio of 1924, and in which
laborers are being paid of, is not
legal tender for anything. That wa
demonetized year before last.
| How happy we are in having
Secretary of the Treasury who cal
crowd SO much error into six littl
lines ofa letter written over his owl
signature, and for publication. An,
how natural that he should believe Ii
the mono-metallic standard when h
i. knows SO little about 1t. Believe il
the Bible ?" said the Bishop Of Autun
'"Why shouldn'tI? / never read It.
