The st. Louis Republican puts the
whole thing in a nut shell thusly: 1.-The
report of the republican members OF
the Potter committee does not pretend
to deny the main fact In the case. viz:
That the returns OF the election of 1876
In Florida and Louisiana showed the
election of the Tilden electors in both
these states. This is the chief point in
the dispute; all the rest is accessory.
The report asserts that the democrats
attempted to bride the returning boards
which may be true; and that the evil
dence fails to prove that the republicans
actually did bride them-which is q
matter of opinion. as there is no telling
how much evidence it takes to convince
a republican of a fact he doesn't want
to believe. Still. the fact remains adj
mitted that Mr.. Hayes got the presiden-
cy without having been elected to it,and
that Tilden was elected to it without
getting It."
