SECRET HISTORY OF THE ELECTORAL CAN
VASS IN 1876

TIE history of the electoral crisis in November
and December, 1876 disclosed by the cipher dis
patches of the Democratic leaders and their secret
agents. covers period of about twenty-eight days,
from the Sth of November when it first became ap-
parent that the Presidency depended upon the
of the vote in two or three doubtful States, until
the 9th of December, when the electoral ballots
were duly cast for Hayes and Wheeler. By decI-
phering these kilograms THE TRIBUNE has discov-
cred that agents were at once sent out from No 10
Gramercv Park. the residence of Mr.. Samuel J
Tilden. TO South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
and that Others at the West, received teegraphic
orders to proceed immediately to Oregon, in order
to capture" all of those States for the Dem
ocratic candidate. They all res0rted TO bribery
communicating to Mr.. Tildens nephew. Colonel VI
T. PeiOn. the particulars of the bargains they con-
cluded, and receiving from hlm a distinct and
formal approval
/. In Florida the secret agents were Manton Mar
bic, {. W. Woolley. and John +. Coyle. Marble
transmitted to Gramercy Park, first a proposition
for the purchase OF the Florida Returning Board at
the price of S200,0G0. That was rejected as ey-
trayagaGt. and the figure was reduced to $4,000.
at which price Colonel Peltou sgnified MS wiling

ton, on the very day of his arrival at Columbia a
proposal to buy the Canvassng Board for $50, 900
to which PeltOn appears to have readily assented.
ms ngtlre was too low, and the negotiation, after
lasting SIX days. was closed at the price of $50
600. 1t was arranged that Weed should meet a
messenger at BaltlRore, who was to carry the
money IN three packages and he particularly 20
quested that Colonel Pelton should act this mes
senger himself. Weed accordingly arrived in Balt-
more from Columbia on the Goth of November. and
Pelton arrived there at the same time from New
York but again "a little delay upset the scheme.
subsequently plot was formed to buy four mem-
bers of the south Carolina Legislature, for S2O.-
900, and having thus obtained control of the
state Government, to pnt the Hayes electors in
jan, and lock them up in separate cells until the
day for casting the electoral votes had passed. The
result of this villany would have been to deprive
South Carolina of any vote, and throw the choice
OF President into the House Representatives,
which would have elected Tilden. The plan failed
because the four members could not be bought.
8. In Oregon the Democratic Governor withheld
certificate from one of the Hayes electors the
ground of lneligbility. and instead of allowing the
other electors to fill the vacancy the certit-
cate to 1llden electOr named CrOnin, who had
clearly been defeated. The secret agent in Oregon
was one j. NJ III. Patrick. He telegraphed TO Colo
mel Pelton that it was necessary to purchase
Republican electoI to recognize and act with Gro
min, and the price was $4,000. This proposal
likewise was accepted and the money was sent to
oregon, where it arrived only the 9th of Decem-
Der, just too late to be of any use.
