WASHINGTON, April 25-Thc statement
of Judge McLin is published. The first
portion is devoted to furnishing an cx-
cuse for his seeming inconsistency in first
covering and then revealing the Florida
election fraud. He says he believed that
q Democratic triumph would be nation
al disaster in 1877. and that he should
give the benefit of doubt to the Repub-
licans even to the extent of straining
point He did not consider himself
Judge, but partisan. He now sees that
powerful influences swayed his jrdg-
ment and perverted his moral sense. lie

who urged on him the necessity of the
carrying Florida; who ,pict.

present and was understood to speak with
The authority for Hayes. The influence of
these men and the circumstances Of ex-
element throughout the country may
have led him to error, aud especially to

him. His aIdOr was now cooled by time,
and by the reflection that the president
had betrayed and mercilessly destroyed
The Republican party, and crushed those
who did so much for his election. He
was now convinced that political expe-
lienee and not calm judgment ruled the
hour. There were many contested cases
md much legal discussion. The attorney
general Of the state and member of the
board had decided that the board had
7udsi judicial power and has right to ex-
clude precincts from the count, II returns
we're shown to be SO irregular, false or
as to prevent the board from
the true vote. With this view
Of its duties the board entered upon the
work of canvassing with the conviction
hat they were invested with large dis
powers which were of a mixed
political and judicial, the po-
iiical largely predominating. Partisan
zeal and strong political ties had a power
Jul influence in the exercise OF these pow
ers, and the Republicans having u MAORI
~ of the board, the canvass was largely
IN their favor. If the board had acted in
with the decision of the SUI
Dreme court of the state, defining the
powers and duty Of the board in refer
,nce to thrG wing out precincts, since rem
lered, there is no question at the fact
hat Tilden would have been entitled to
he vote of Florida Excluding the re-
urns from Baker county which were
counted and which have since learned
rom parties who made 1t, wese falsely
returns, and including the
rue return which correspondent with the
precinct returns of that county, would
have given the state to Tilden.
