We say to the democracy of Indiana, or

cities, your neighbors and yourselves. Or
ganize against that policy OF government
that has plastered over your beautiful farms

ance mortgages. Organize against that party
that has to be handicapped by state legislation

your city by excessive taxation to pamper

upon for the protection of your property,

they sat as a court and rejected votes which
were cast for Tilden, under the pretext that
they were illegally given. The supreme
court of Florida decided that they had no
power to do this, and directed them to GER
tify the vote as it was given, but they refused
to obey the court, and the carpet-bagger
Stearns lyiDgly certified their award to the
president of the senate as the vote which
Florida had cast. This certificate of Stearns
was received by the electoral commission
as evidence that Florida voted for
Hayes, and the vote of that state was
counted for him, whereby he became the
acting president of the United States. He
has held his office for more than year, but
he holds it not by the will of the people, but
against their will. Rather than cause inter
nal commotion and disturb the peace of the
country the democracy allowed him to take
the seat which belonged 10 another, but it
proposes to cry aloud, and spare neither the
men who stole the presidency nor the man
who profited by the larceny. As he travels
over the country, claiming to be the rightful
executive of the government, he must feel
humiliated whenever he looks an honest
man in the face. He knows that he is an
usurper and a fraud, and if he were capable
of shame he would hide his face and turn
away, now that one whom he deemed
worthy of a high Office tells the world how
he helped TO make him president over the
PEOPLES will.

McLrN. DENNIS AND HAyzs

The confession of McI1n and Dennis. two
OF the scoundrels who stole the vote of Flor
ida for Hayes, is attracting much attention
throughout the country. For the first time
in the history Of the American government
we have man in the presidential chair who
holds his Office, not by virtue of the peoples
votes, but by reason of successful forgery
and perjury. The men who committed the
forgery and the perjury are coming out one
by one and confessing their crimes Tie
rascal who turns states evidence is not al
ways believed, but when the testimony is
corroberated by that of others, a court does
not hesitate TO convict upon it, The testi-
mony OF McLin and Dennis is supported by
chain OF circumstances so strong that
it must be believed by the most skepfical.
Indeed, there is not an intelligent man in
the country, who is not blinded by party
passion, but knows and has known since the
fall OF 1875 that Florida voted for Tilden and
Hendricks. The confession of the Florida
miscreants who helped to transfer her vote
Hayes only confirms what was already
known. The vote OF Louisiana was also
stolen from Tilden and given to Hayes, but
in that case Wells and Anderson and their
negro associates acted under the forms of
law, whereas in Florida McLin and his radi-
cal partner in crime gave Hayes the vote Of
that state. not only against the verdict OF
the people, but in direct violation of the
very law under which they claimed to act.
That law gave them no judicial powers, yet
they assumed judicial functions, and instead

BROTHER BAYLIss.

Brother Bayliss, the political preacher in
the interest of the republican party, yester-
day delivered one of his characteristic ser
mons. Tweed, whose death places him
beyond the reach OF human denunciation,
was held up as an awful example of deprav-
ity and crime, whose long arms enclrcled
the necks Of 100000 people all at once. We
do not object to this. The policy of the de-
mocracy was to convict and punish Tweed.
The last Utterances Of the old sinner were to
the effect that he hoped that his death would
satisfy Mr.. TIlden and other democrats who
had bounded him to it. Bat we object to
hunting up subjects to point moral that
have been handled so often as to be 'more
stale than a twice told tale" when the
present is so full of choice and
more illustrious and more infamous
examples that could be used with so much

HOW MOVES EARNED A MISSION.
His Active Defense of GIaring Frauds
Described by cIr. Malcolm BAY.

Especial Dispatch to the New York World.l
PIrTsBuRG, Pa, April 25-Mr Malcolm
Hay was called upon to-day by representa-
tive of the World in regard to the confessions
of McLin and Dennis, of Florida. He went
to Tallahassee, Fla, with others TO watch
the count of the vote of that state in 1876.
He was specially charged with looking after
the frauds in Archer precinct, No. ,, Ala
chua county. He went to Gainesville and
examined number of persons as witnesses,
including Moore and Dukes, two of the
election officers, who made oath that
the vote of the precinct was $50
for Hayes and 1876 for Til
den. Mr.. Fleming, a reputable merchant,
who kept list Of all persons voting CORE
spending with the above number of votes,
and Mr.. Tucker, since sheriff OF the county,
who was present at the close of the polls,
aided in the canvass OF the vote and heard 1T
announced as above gwen. All OF them
make affidayits to these facts. They so went
before the board of canvassers at Tallahassee
and repeated their testimony under oath,
On the night of the election the ballot box
was taken to Dennis house, at Gainesville,
and 2l4 votes fraudulently added to the
Hayes poll and five fraudulently taken from
those cast for Mr.. Tilden. "All these facts !"
said Mr.. Hay "were fully and absolutely
proved before the board, which sustained the
fraud in defiance of the evidence ard of the
decision OF the supreme court. The con-
fession OF the criminal, McLin, does not aud
can not add to the certainty that fraud was
consummated by and through the returning
board, and this confession does not make the
facts any stronger to-day than they were IN
1875, when every honest man in Florida, If
not in this whole country, knew that Mr..
Tilden had been defrauded out of the cleo
toral vote of Florida" Mr.. Hay also states
that Minister Noyes appeared as chief attor-
ney for the Hayes electors, and the general
impression among all classes was that he was
there as the personal representative of Mr..
Hayes. Mr.. Noyes read a defense of the
Alachua fraud, glaring and apparent though
the fraud was, and the majority of the
board accepted it and decided accordingly.
Mr.. George w. Guthrie, OF this city, was
also in Tallahassee at the same time, and re-
cited substantially the same facts as Mr..
Hay. Mr.. Guthrie Gays that Mr.. Noyes was
credited with being Mr.. Hayes representa-
tive, and was active in the defense of every
fraud committed in behalf Of the republican
electors.

The Vatican Tapestries.
Pail Mall Gazettesl

1t is said that Leo XIII. has given orders
to have the large quantities of tapestry
which now lie hid in drawers and cupboards
in the vatican rumaged out, and hung in
chronological order along the galleries,
where they can be SEEN. There viii be
many interesting pieces among them; a
quantity of Gobellns, as the French court
for long time made a present of piece
every year to the reigning pontiff; pieces of
the Flemish schools of the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries; and several of those
designed by Raphael. which were saved in
the sack of Rome. 1t would be good thing
If the Italian government or court would
follow the pope's example; for hidden away
in cellars and back rooms of the Pitt palace,
at Florence there are known to be piles OF
old damasks and broeades, falling to pieces
for want of looking after and bringing to the
light. They can not be sold, though many
artists and others would gladly buy them,
without superior orders, and it is said that
the only purpose they serve is to be torn up
when busters are required and nothing else
is handy.

The wheat Harvest.


There can be no longer any reasonable
doubt that our wheat crop this year is TO be
unprecedentedly large. In the first place,
the acreage is much larger than ever before.
Secondly, the winter was mild, the spring
sunny and rains abundant Thirdly, the
season has been so advanced that the crop in
the southwest is almost ready for the reaper.
and nothing can now injure it except a sue
cession of weeks of most unfavorable and
disastrous weather. In Texas the harvest
will begin within the few remaining days of
this month; in southern Illinois, where the
winter wheat was never so forward, they
will harvest in May. Everywhere the reports
are in the same tone; never so much land
sowed with wheat never so fair a prospect
of a great yield. The new emigrants into
Nebraska Kansas and Minnesota have not
been idle: they have put in their first crops,
and thousands Of acres of land which last
year were unbroken prairie are now wheat
fields.
In Europe the season has not been so
favorable. In England the spring has been
rather late and cold, but the winter crops
are looking as well as usual. In France the
season has also been backward, but the crops
are not injured, aud good weather now will
secure bountiful yield. In Germany much
damage has been done by cold and frost
and the prospects are not good. In Hokand
everything looks well. In Spain protracted
drought has so iDjuIsd the wheat crop that
