Another Chapter of Tildenism.

Mr.. G. A. Cowgirl who was one of

Board, publishes card in Saturdays

count in that State and the disclosures
of the cipher dispatches. He says
long continued illness prevented him
from making a statement before, and
he denies that he ever gave any DAmo.
Ocrat reason to suppose money WO'd in
huence his action, or that he received
any intimation from Republicansources
that personal advantage would follow
bis vote for the Hayes electors. Mr..
Cowgirl says that before the count
commenced Manton Marble came to
his house, and after attempting to im>
press upon him the great danger that
would arise to the country if Tllden
were deprived of the election, said, 81

than any one else of his views and

cratic party, but also the gratitude of
Mr.. Tilden, and all that tn 1t implies" I"
Cowgirl indignantly repul5ed the ad-
vance thus made. During the progress
of the canvass Andrew Banks, of l3alti-
more, to whom Cowgirl had been of
service in some business matters, thanks
ed the latter for those services, and ex-
pressed wish to help him, saying that
if he voted for the Tilden electors,

The Widespread Democratic
Frauds i'm South Carolina and
virginia.

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette says that the publication
of the Mackey letter detaiiing fraud in
the election at Charleston, and of the
reports of several United States Super
visors from other parts of the State,
have created a general sensation here
Even Democrats begin to admit that
such loads are more than their
party will be able to stand. A dis
patch from Columbia brings iniOrma-
ton that the method of stuffiag boxes
At Charleston and in Beaufort county
was employed in all districts in the
State where the Republicans made op-
position. The small tissue paper tick
ct was used. in all these districts, and
made its appearance in nearly all box IS
also. None of them were vOl ed open
ly. They were folded in the larger
regular tickets, aud instances came to
light in which twenty of them We're
thus deposited by one individual. In
some boxes there were four times s
many votes As there were voters IN the
precinct. In Columbia and the county
the Democratic majority is 2 500 (more
than the number of Democratic voters).
Stuffing was reSOrted to as pastime,
and wa- carried beyond all bounds of
necessity. No attempt to deny or con.
ceal the fraud is made except in the
newspapers. The tissue paper tickets
are general throughout the Republican
counties, shOw ny that the scheme EN-.
ated from headquarters. TIE Bepub-
lican candidates, Mackey, R4iney, and
SWailS will be urged TO give notice of

these unblushing frduls NAV be forced
upon the attention of the Democratic

some portions of it United States Su-
pervi5Or5 were Obliged t. leave the
room when the count began. under the
claim that the laws of Virginia allowed
no one except State election officers to
be present during the count.

SENATOR BARNUM is Chlir.ntn of
the Democratic National Committee.
1t is charged that he ordered his muni-
tions into Connecticut for the purpose
of carrying that State for himself, to
the neglect of other sections. In other
words, he bought so mahy mules for
Connecticut that there was no money
to buy mules for other States. There E
fore he must resign. B3Sh! The wave
that swept over the North, carrying
every State and Territory in which
elections were held, Was irresistible.
All the mules that Barnum could have
purchased, had Tilden's barrels been
placed at his disposal, would have had
no more effect than the efforts of the
old woman to force back the infiowing
tide with a broom. The people had
tried the Democratic party for while,
and made up their minds the country
mad enough OF it, with its war upon
bIsiness, upon capital, upon credit,
upon honesty, upon republican form OF
government, upon everything, in fine,
that is dear TO prosperity. Further
more, the solid South Wagged the
Northern tail too soon and too defiant
ly. These, and not Bdrnum's mules,
caused the defeat which was as over
whelming as that of N.polean at
Waterloo.-CiD. g iZatte.

The Es.siilf OfIuesdaY.

From the New OTk Tribune, Nov. u.
1t is q splendid rict0JY for honest
money. The platform and the canvass
in New York were as explicit as words
could make them, and Mr.. COnklinR's
admirable speech =, Saratoga gave the
tone to the whole campaign. The
ringing hard morey speech OF Galusha
A. Grow at Oil City, at the very outset
OF the Pennsylvania campaign, did the
same for that State, and next to Gov.
HOyt, Mr.. Grow has been the speaker
most III demand thrOugh, ut the can
vaSs. In Massachusetts The issue was
yet more sharply drawn, and it will be
long before another man OF power
throws himself away on the theory that
Bay State voters really prefer rascality
in national finance. All the more i'm
portant victory yesterday were won in
square fight for the National honor
and against the lunacy or dishonesty
OF Greenbackers and their allies, the
Democrats.
II is the public rerdtct about fraud.
The ears OF the country have been uin-
ned with that cry long enough; the
chosen President OF forty millions has
been insulted at home, and the good
name Of the nation have been smirched
abroad as long as the people are willing
to stand it. Voters have made up
their minds as to where the fraud"
was in connection with the last PreSi-
Dental election. They have read the
secret correspondence of Gramercy
Park, and Yesterdays ballots tell what
they think Oft.
II is the pubic rerGict on the course Of
the Democratic party in p0,cer. The
last session of Congress showed what
that party meant to do. 1t was given
| Just rope enough to hang itself, and it
made the best possible use of what it
had. Incoherent, Irresponsible, ignO-
rant, rapaciOus, holly unfit to govern
its reckleSsnesS has disgusted that sober
class OF voters who stand in the indie
pendent middle line and decide elec
tious. Their best Judgment is shown
in the increased returns of Republicans
to the next House.
| Is is the Northern rertlict on the att
tt3e Of the South. Never Was a defeat
ed people so generously treated; never
/ did victorious administration make
such sacrifices to cOnciliate its enemies
and promote harmony. The renewal
of bulldnzing in 5 Iuth Carolina, Louis
lana and elsewhere has been Une South
ern response. The firm alliance be-
tween the Solid South and the danger
Gus Ell IN nt5 at the NOrth for soft mon
ey and raids upon the National Treas
ury, has been another. The \ rthrrn
people have seen these responses, and
the vote shows that they understand
them.
On the whole. the Judgment Of the
Northern people is that the destinies o
the country are still safest in the hani;
Of the party that freed the slave, pre-
served the Union, and stands now the
bulwark OF the national honor, and the
champion OF rational finance. Yester
davis work made this Judgment plain
We may now confidently hope that th'
work of 1880 will make it palmer still
: For the first time since the inaugura
tion of President Hayes there is goOC
reason to trust that he may have Re
publican successor.
