namo of Mr., GToRuE NJ LANDrIis repre-
scnting tho Hart ford district Of Connecticut; [;

tho Fifth District. Mr.. FERNANDO WooD,
from the Ninth District Mr.. B. A. WILLIS,
from the Eleventh District: and MIR. WILL
LIAM ID. NEEDER, from the Brooklyn dis
trlct.
The total number Of these Democrats. rep
rcscnting portions of the three States we
have named is ten namely. eight from
New York. one from Connecticut. and one
from New Jersey; and all Of them have
put themselves on the record a. supporting
the sanctity of Fraud, and maintaining the
utter hclplcssncss of the people to remedy
the greatest political wrong which can be
put upon a republican nation.
There are some Of these Representatives,
ma for instance, Mr.. B. A. WILLIS, who ought
60 be rejected for other reasons as we'll; but
this reason alone namely. their public pro-
tcsslon that Fraudulent President stands
sacred and irrcfrHgable beyond the reach Of
public justice. should suffice To set against
them all self-rcspecting and conscientious
citizens who believe IN honor and honesty,
md who desire, above all other political OBJ
jccts, that the republican institutions OF tho
country Should be maintained and pcrpet-
Natcd.
Every one Of these Democrats voted. on
the lith Of June, that republican institu-
tions, and especially the right Of the people
to choose their own President every four
years, having been set aside and overthrown
after tho election of 1876, should remain
overthrown; and we say, therefore. that
each and all Of these unfaithful Representa-
tives should now be set aside and over
thrown, and should so remain.

We are informed that Major BURKE. ~
New Orleans, has made up his mind 20 make
a clean breast of 1T and tell the whole story
OF the fraud which put Mr. HAYES in the
White House. and of the corrupt bargains
made 10y Mr.. HAYES and through his agents.
This is story which Major BURKE knows
perfectly, and which he can relate to the
minutest particular il he chooses to do So.
Moreover, We believe he will do ii: for he is
II resolute, strong man, and II, as we are as
sured. he has made up his mind To tell the
truth. we believe he will tell the whole truth.
Nothing can intimdate him. 1t is his cour-
age and what Is called horse sense which
give him such hold on the people
At first no doubt Major BURKE had an idea
that he was making very shrcwd bargain
for himself. or, rather. for his immediate po-
litical friends Now. if he has become dis
gustcd with the fraud Of which. as an erro-
ncously supposed political necessity. he
tried to avail himself everybody will re-
spcct him for telling the whole true story.
Major BURKE is II man of great influence
where he lives and is known; and his inllu-
encc will be enhanced by his full exposure
OF the HAYES frauds.
