is sworn testimony OIL that subject:
o.-D!d YOU get any idea how the
ote of Louisiana stood from the face
{ the returns? Al had all those
/ IS ,hat could be got from the news
t., ers and the leaders of the different
.arties. We bad had, of course, very
ull information of that sort.
O.-Presuming that there were not
ONE parishes to be thrown by the
eturning board, it was very clear
hat the state had gone for Nlcholis
nd Tilden, was 1T not! Alt was
,erv well understood by the time |
sot there. and, indeed, before L got
/ ere. that if nothing but the face OF
he returns was to be considered, and
I every vote sent up was to be treat
al rs a legal vote, Mr.. Tilden was
ahead.
And if every. vote sent up was
;, .ryal vote, aud some more republi-
eau votes were not found, 1T was very
clear that the state had gone Tor
Nichols and Tiiden. Ayes.
There is yeur man, republicans. that
YOU propose to place in the chair that
Washington occupied. "A voice: 'Ns,
never."1 1t will never be done. No
man with record like that did ever
take that chair and in the kind provi-
dence of an eternal God it will never
occur. He knew by the returns that
Tllden tor president and Nichols Tor
Governor were elected in the state OF
louisiana, and yet when he knew that,
he says when he got TO New Orleans ne
stayed there eightesh days, and all that
he did. was to sit III that inner room
| where nobody could find him except they
| passed from the public hall through an
other room; and there, alone with poor
| ignorant witnesses, he prepared inter-
| rogatories, and talked with them, ana
those interrogatories and that talk went
to the returning board and furnished
the scoundrels OF that board the prete1t
to return, against the truth, that Tilden
was beaten in Louisiana. Do you sup
pose that this man was TO return to
Washington and become juror and de-
eide whether Tiden or Hayes was elect
J ed and between man and man whether
: Hendricks or Wheeler was elected vice.
: president. He says, on page 193: ~
, heard OF nothing OF the kind-that is,
of "a decision then made. don't think
: any nf our party had heard of it. for we
: lett in great anxiety as TO what the
: result would be'' Then little
] turther down he says: "We went away
q from that meeting. and within perhaps
h three hours from that time at least by
J, the first train alter that, we lett New
t Orleans. l know that there was great
!, anxiety among US all as to what the
l. result would be, and we had no word
g OF hint oft until we had passed Bellaire
'e on Tuesday morning, when dispatch
L was received addressed to some OF our
l. number, perhaps to Senator Sherman,
N NO US the first intimation of the con-
W clusion OF the returning board" And
