Net Recognizing the FRAUD


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Mr. Tilden and
Mr.. HAYES we're attentive listeners al the
Bryant comnemoratiOn meeting They
occupied places far apart, yet they had
never before been SO near each other as
on this occasion.
1t was the desire Of the committee that
Mr.. Tilden should occupy seat on the
stage with IAe other distinguished men
who had been invited, but, rs 1t was
known that Mr.. Hayes would be there,
Mr.. Tilien declined. He would not SIT
in the company with the acting Presi-
dent. When the Chamber of Commerce
invited Hayes to one of ITS banquets at
Delmopico's, shortly after his occupation
of the White House, special effort was
made to secure the attendance OF Mr..
Tillen also, but the rightful President
| could not bd persuaded to 90. he ig-
| nores Hayes utterly, and will MT take
any step or do any act that could be con
strued into a recognition Of the ONO
mans official character.
When the Bryant meeting was over,
nearly all tho gentlemen who had been
invited to 1t attend a reception at the
residence of Mr.. De Peyster, President
of the Historical Society. Mr.. Hayes
| was there, shaking hands with all who
sho wed any desire to touch palms with
him. Mr.. Tildtn was conspicuous by his
absence. He would not enter the same
room with the man who obtained the
| Presidency by flaud. 1t was only his
long and intimate acquaintance with Mr.
and the warm friendship that he enter
| ,ans toward Mr.. Byrant's family, that
induced him to attend the commeora-
ton meeting, knowing, as he did that
Mr.. Hayes Would be "a special guest.
If Mr.. Hay yes is at all Sc enstive, dare
say it CALLED hi III some " hat to note that
Mr.. Tilden and the members of Mr.. Bry-
ants family comprised distinct party
by themselves, looking down from a con.
spicuous box on the company spread
over the stage.
The companions of Mr.. Tilden were
(Parke Goodwin, Mr.. Bryant's son-in
Miss Julia Bryant, the poets daughter
and Miss Goodwin. These were the only
representatives of the Bryant family
present. Mr.. Goodwin believes, as Mr.
Bryant did that Mr.. Tilden was right
fully elected, and he preferred Mr.. Til
den's company to that of the man wbt
obtained his office by fraud. Mr.. God
win also aD4ented himself from the re
csption at the house OF Mr. De fey
lister.
In fact, there was throughout studie'
avoidance of Mr.. Hayes by the uirec
representatives of Mr.. Bryant, as wei
a. a total ignoring of him by AIr. Til
den.

The POIygamy Quest 10 n
Settled.

At last the legal status of the auda-

determined by the United States Su-
preme Court, which on Monday render
ed decision involving ths whole ques-
of polygamy in the Territories. Inc s. de,
cision of the Utah courts Delhg against
the plaintiff, Reynolds, charged with
contracting bigamous ma. age, he car
ried hi. case to the Supreme Court on a
writ of error The opinion of the court
was delivered by Chief Justics Waite,
and was TO the effect that the plea set up
by the plaintiff of religious conviction
was not valid defense that Congress,
in passlug laws for the suppression OF
polygamy in Utah, exercised n power
belonp to IL and vested in it under the
constitution. But for the plea set up
that such laws were an interference
with religious belief, and therefore un'
constitutional, it would seem strange
that there should be any doubt of the
mower OF Congress to legislate for the
'Territories, over which, as natlona
property, the government exercises tht
right of eminent domain.
