VIM. T.. Chandler was recalled and In the
course OF his examination said that both sides
Of the case were managed by counsel: ID. w.
Sellers managed the Democratic side. and him
self the Republican side There were other
counsel on both sides that read and prepared
papers. The case required tho closest judicial
attention. There were no assumptions OF
fraudulent voting In the State. but the eoseness
OF the vote was what attracted attention. In
this connection he intimated that Gen. Barlow
had prepared u general summing up of the
the Republicans. which he afterwards betrayed
by advising the Repuhlican Members OF the
board to concede the election OF Tilden.
At the conclusion OF Cnaudier's testimony
Gen. Barlow. at his own request. was allowed
TO max counter statement. which was that

competing telegraph association. Members OF
the AssOciatei PresS and of the Weston Union
Associated Press are willing to be slaves of the
great aud greedy monopoly as long as tn hey are
Well fed, AMI can thereby prevent competitors
from being fed at all. Is 1t wonder that the
tone OF our newspapers is low when their edi-
torS and proprietors will submit without pro-
test. to this state Of thing Ii an editor IL in
dependent enough to object to this mode of
presenting or suppres-ing news that editors
paper Is cut off from the benefits of receiving
the regular press dispatches
II any editor or publisher patronizes rival
telegraph line. he too is cut off. Nothing less
than complete submission will be received by
the managers OF the press monopoy y or OF the
telegraph monopoly. He that doubts or ques-
tians is excluded. The people of the United
States are taxed By great telegraph monopoly
In order that It's managers may bs enriched
while the press of the country is muzzled by
petty hribe to some OF its men bers.
