last Saturday, as follows
Eraud the Intent.


President Hayes always gives excel
lent reasons for his vetoes, and for no
vet, has he given better reason than
the last. He had not to 60 all around
the nation to hunt up reasons, though
he could have found them anywhere,
especially in the South, but as Ne"
York is the pivotal object through all
this struggle for political supremacy BY
the Democrats in Congress, it was
in that city where abundant reasons
could readily be found for his veto. 1t
had from time to time been abundantly
proven years ago, that in some districts
in New York, most notably in those OF
the Nine Points and Mackerelville, more
votes were polled at some elections than
there were men, women and children
in those Districts. This was in ante
bellum war times, but when the war
came on and the Democrats tried to
make diversion in favor of the South
in New York, besides inaugurating a
little rebellion on their own account
and hanging some negroes to the lamp
post, they lnaugurated the most gi5an-
tic system of making and voting fraud
ulent voters that was ever conceived OF,
and no stone was left unturned to roll
up anywhere from GO, 600 to rs, 900 ma
ity for their party. In doing so both
jorviolsnce and fraud were used, and
elections in that city became the broad
est kind of a farce, and the courts
having been prostituted by Democratic
politicians, the administration of them
became travesty upon justice.
The report of the committee appoint
ed by Congress to investigate the cleo
ton of 1868, three years after the wal
had closed, showed that at that election
$4,000 fraudulent votes We're cast. Tru,
the IL tjori;y of that committee We're Re
publicaus, but the Democrats upon i
made no mil Locity report. In the elec
tion for 1871, II per cent. Of the vot'
was proven to be fraudulent. Th'
President truly says that these fraud
co npleteIy rev, rsei the result of th,
election in New York, both as to til,
choice of Governor and elector. for Pre-.
sident of the United States. Here is til,
r al gist Of the opposition to the elec
tiol lazs ny tie Democrats. They
know that in an honest and square elec
ton New York Will be Keputlica!
b: a very large majority, am
will insure the election of a R-publica
P.es'dent and they also as fully kno'
tn It if these l,ws are repealed an
from 80, 900 to 1000 illegal votes ar
allowed to be cast, the State will a
mo It as surely be Democratic, and al
in the ell .ction of Democratic Pres
dent. NV York, though the Dem
or il; citadel, now garrisoned and keI
in check by the vigilance of the Repu
li;lns, is the point of attack, and d.
felel in the attack upon the outpos
the Democracy have alre ady lost Il
battle, and President Hayes holds Il
Fort.
As there can be thing done t
wards repeating the Federal ele
ii II laws by the Dem ,crats, the
rema rs Io!hing for them Low
do b1t to app'al to the people, az
what they have failed to accomplish |
the prof. osed consummaton Of ST.
pend,us fraud, they will pow have
bring before the people and argue
from the political rcstrum. The d
mocracy by the most stupen !ous frau
upo the ballot box, coupled with Vi
lence and intimidation, have. made
solid South for themselves, b
through the frmness of President Hay
the North has been saved that humi
at IN fer the present, but as the pr'n
Gratis have shown that they were inca
ale of pas ng any appropriation b
without tain'in5 it with political frau
to be forewarne is to he forearm
agars. tie deep and dishonest scLeln
of the party in poaer.
