For nearly three hundred ballotings
the vote in the Convention stood Meek
10, Tucker IA, Allen 10. The deadlock
was finally broken by the withdrawal Of
Meek and Allen, and the denomination
of Hon. II. L. Muldrow, the present
tried and able incumbent, who had de-
clined the canvass in modest Difference
to the opinion Of some OF his constituents
that he was in some way committed not
to make the race. The friends of Gen.
Tucker stood to him to the last, and new

Weavor's Triumphant March
PHILADELPHIA Times,

Weaver has carried another State. All
he had to do was to blow his horn as he
entered Alabama and the walls of the old
parties fell down with crash. "Alaba-
ma is on fire for the Greenbackers and
the indications point TO an overwhelming
majority for Weaver" If this thing goes
on it will hardly be necessary to hold an
election. Let Garfield aud Hancock
Withdraw, and then Col. Lee Crandall
may cast the unanimous vote of the Elec-
toral College of Weaver and Chambers.
1t will be great relief TO tho country to
have it all over with so little trouble.

The Brooklyn Eagle prints the follow
ing conversation between General Han
cock and one of its reporters: "Refer-
ring to the statements made in some of
the Republican organs that after the de-
cision of the electoral commission he still
considered Mr.. Tilden the legally elected
President and would obey any orders en-
anating from him after March 8, and that
he wrote General Sherman to that effect,
the reporter asked the General if he had
anything to say concerning the statement.
"'It is hardly worth while,' said the
General, to reply to these stories, there
are so many of them floating around.
Now, suppose l did write such letter as
is spoken of to General Sherman !?
I have not read the story to which you
refer, but l understand its purport. If
such letter was ever written, it must be
in the hands of Gene M Sherman. 1t
would not be proper for me to give its
contents to the public without the consent
of General Sherman, even if such letter
was written. Ifthese gentlemen who are
clamoring for such a letter want it so

only eight years ago. But the Democrats have
NOT yet given prominence to their sirongesl &C
cusation. The Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer
matters can be explained on the hypothesis Of
innocence, only by the stuitifyng admission that
their great. intellectual, brainy candidate Is
simpleton. Bot, great as the crime Of public
peculati0n may be, il 10 dwarfed by bis pariici-
patton 10 the crime of the century, the crime OF
crimes, the counting out of the lawfully elected
President of the United States. James A. Gar
field was one of the conspirators who went TO
New Orleans, who conspired with The Louisiana
Returning Board, and afterwards voted 10 make
their conspiracy successful, when he was men,
the nation stood aghast before this crime against
Republicanism, and the rights of man, and hun
dreds and thousands Of men swore that, ut the
next ple6iaztuns, this crime should be branded !;
that its perpetrators, abettors, condoners and
bene6ciaries should feel the deep loathing Of an
injured people, Of nations insulted majesty.
If a single sane man, who believed, four years
ago, that Tilden was elected should vote for
Garfield, think it would prove that popular
government is failure, and the elective fran
chise a TOO precious trust to be- given TO the hu-
man race.
When Mr.. Garfield accepts a purse he takes
trash, but when he utilities and Ieyerses the en-
phatically expressed mandate OF a great people,
the crime is such, alas as no punishment can
compass. It's enOrmity can be fully appreciated
only by those who know how slowly, through
ages Of night and blond, and throes Of hoping
despairing evolution, the rights OF man have at
tanned the vindication Of the ballot box.

Ths story, . it eoes. in its most reaeOus'
able form b that early n the winter, long
before an electoral commission was ever
thought Of, Gen. sherman, who was ner-
vous over the situation, wrote to General
Hancock, among others, for his visvA
General Hancock frankly gave them. BE
believed that General Grants term would
expire Ut midnight on the srd Of March.
Noon of the 4th of March would seem TO
be the most natural end Of the Presiden-
tial term, bat that IL Of small conseq uence.
Gen. Hancock held that Gen. Grants
term of Office would expire at certain
time, and that he would have no right to
hold over and use the army to place his
successor in the White House. The
Senate was Republican and the House
Democratic. Hancock said that if Con-
gress or the House should declare Til
den elected, and he should take the oath
anywhere, he should look to him for
orders. That is to say, he should not
look to Grant after his term of Office had
expired, or to Hayes put into Office against
the will of Congress by Grants aid. 1t
is well to remember how things stood at
that time Many Republicans were earn
estly in favor of arbitrary action by the
Vice-President, without regard to the
opinion of the House. Indeed, says the
Boston Herald, an independent Garfield
paper, that was the recognized Republi-
can position:in direct opposition to the
spirit and letter of the twenty-6rst joint
rule, under which the Republicans had
counted the votes in three elections,
throwing out some votes in each. The
Democrats at the same time were insist
ing on the right OF the House to decide
whether there had been anybody elected,
on the ground that, in case of failure to
elecS, it devolved upon that body to act.
Whether General Hancock required the
action of Congress or only the House to
secure Tilden's election does not appear
but, in either case, there was no disloyalty.
If he thought the House sufficient, he
merely took the Democratic position.
What he meant to do, no doubt, was to
obey the constitution as he understood
it, and stand by the constitutional author
tiles. Gen. Sherman, who had brought
quite number of troops to Washington
to insure order, and whose sympathiea
were on the Republican side, was dis
turbed by Gen. Hancock's answer, and
there was some talk of sending Hancock
to another department. But when the
electoral commission was created to con.
slider and decide the whole question,
everybody felt relieved, General Sherman
among the rest, and all fears of danger
rapidly passed away. When the cleo
toral commission decided in favor of Mr.
Hayes, though the Democratic House
opposed the decision, Gen. Hancock wat
apparently satisfied that the title acquired
by Mr.. Hayes was legally sound, for he
attended the inaugural ceremonies, and
afterward called on the President, and
nobody remembers anv act nr word n
his expressing any doubt Of the authority
of President Hayes.
