Now OIIeduS W W doninSIOH He pre-
pares an argument in the case.
GARFIELD KNEW TILDEN CARRIED
THE STATE.
1 wish to connect directly this trans
action with the duties of the man " no
takes the solemn oath to deal fairly
1t was his duty as member the Com
mission to deal fairly.
The next question is, what did Gar
field know in regard to Louisiana. That
we find on page 500. 1 say he knew
that Louisiana was Democratic by 5000
majority when lie sat in that inner room
and had pr.va,e conversation with the
Witnesses and prepared in.erfoga ores
to guide aud control their testimony,
when he was at that wotk, and whe1
he was writing a brief 10 make il aD-
pear the other way, he knew that Lou.
isana had cast a Democratic maior..j of
5000, and here is sworn testimony on
that subject:
Odd YOU gc...anY idea how the
vote of Lou'sina stood rom the fare of
The returns Al had all those ide.s
that could be got from the newspapers
and the leaders Of the different parties.
We had had, Of course, very fall iuior-
nation of that sort.
Q.-Presuming that there were no
some Parishes to be thrown out by tie
Returning Board, it wGs very clear that
the State had gone for n cholls and
Tilden, was it not? At was very
we'll understood By the time [ cot there,
aud, indeed, before 1 got there. that if
nothing but the face Of the returns was
to be considered, and if every vote sent
up there was 10 be treated as a legal
vote. Mr.. Tilden was ahead.
Q.-And if every vote sent up was
legal vote aud some more Republican
votes wele not found, 1t was very clear
that the State had gone for Nichols and
Tilden Ayes.
There is your man, Republicans, that
you propose.to place in the chair that
Washington occupied. "a voice, mo,
neyer."l 1t will never be done. No
man with a record like that did ever
take hatchalr, and in the kind provi-
dence of an eternal God will never oc-
cur. He knew by the returns that Til
den, for President, and Nichols for
Governor, were elected in -the Safe OF
Louisiana, and yet when he knew that,
he saws whel he got TO New Orleans he
staid there eighteen days, and all that
he did was 10 sit in that inner room
where nobody could find him except
they passed from the pubic hall through
another room, aud there alone with
poor ignorant witnesses, he prepared
lnterrogatories, and talked with them,
and that those interrogatories and that
talk went 10 the Returninging BOARD
and furnished the scoundrels Of that
Board pretext 10 return against the
truth that Tlden was beaten in Louisl-
ana. Could you suppose that this man
was to return g washington and be-
come aJuror and decide wether Tlden
or-Hayes waslelec!ed, aud 10 decide be-
tween man and man whether Hendricks
or Wheeler was elected Vice President.
He says, on page 1913: Il heard Of
nothing OF the kind Chat is, of dec's-
ion then made.) l don't think any Of
our party had heard of 1t for we left in
great anxiety as 10 what the result
would be- Then a little further down
he says: I'VE went away from the meet
ing, and within perhaps three hours
from that time at least by the first train
after that we left New Oo.leaus. l
know that there was great anxiety
am 1ngst us all as TO what the result
would be, and we had no word or hint
of it until we had passed Bellair on
Tuesday morning, whcu dispatch was
received addressed 10 some of our num-
her. perhaps to Senator Sherman, Civ =
ing us the first information OF the co -
clusiou of the Returning Board And
what do you, fair minded men that have
from time TO time taken your seats
upon the jurors-box, what do you think
OF the man that is to come on to Wash
ton to Irv the cause ?
THE WORK is DONE"
Beng anxious in MS mlnd as he leayes
New Orleans, and al the way from that
city until he reaches Bellair, until he
reaches Ohio, he is IN state OF great
anxiety, aud then dispatch come at
lightning speed, THE work IS DONE"
"The work is done," and there Is no
anxiety thence on forever ? The per-
Jury and the forgery is committed. Tie
people of .he United States have been
beaten in their might and majesty, and
in their glorious sovereignty of the BAL
lot box. They have been beaten Ike
the old lion that had his paws entangled
IN the meshes OF the net. The great
people Of the United States are beaten,
and a part of the work was done in that
room, and forever from this time inia-
nous room in the Custom House, and
this is the evidence gentlemen.
Jobu Z. New, you that stand high as
a citizen ofIndianianapolis, this is the
evidence that 1 quoted IN my speech at
Marion. And | gave page and docu-
ment so full that ifyou wanted the truth
you can not fall into error and here IS
what 1 said 10 that org. nal speech:
