Whether victorious or not. the Presidents high

the Illinois Republican platform aptly calls his

believed to be.-San Francisco Post.

The truth is that the Democrats want Tilden for

their part that he has great resources of trckery
and is willing to spend money freely in processes OF
fraud and corruption. In other words. they feel
that the sentiment of the country is decidedly
against them a fair trial, and that their only
hope of success lies, therefore, in the direction OF
Systematic and skillful dishonesty.-St. Louis

1t is necessary for the Republicans of the various

STUFFED BALLOT BOXES.
Counting UP the HIajOrity for McEnery
i'm xSaS1


New ORLEANS, April 27.-The figures SO far
promulgated make McEnery's vote in the
State for Governor about $1,000 to 10000 for
Stevenson. Orleans is set down as furnishing
2O663 for MeEnery, and 300 for Stevenson.
Authenticated reports come in from dozen
parishes of the most outrageous bulldozing
and counting out At polls where Stevenson
got nearly all the votes cast he is not credited
with receiving any. McEnery would have
been guilty of marvellous neglect of his own
interests If he was not returned elected in the
county, for the returning officers were the
creatures of his will, appointed by him and re-
movable at his pleasure.
There was probably an honest count on the
first amendment to the Constitution, and this
is beaten by 10000 votes outside the city of
New Orleans. It's success, therefore, will de-
pend on $1,000 stated votes in the New Or
leans ballot boxes it is surmised that some
foreign tax, pa ers will bring suit in
the United States court to have the
lllegality of its adoption set forth and
Its enforcement epjoined. This amend
ment increases the interest of the Louis
lama consolidated bonds from 3 per cent. to
per cent. for the next 10 years, and will cost
the State Treasury about So 000,0 600 to put in
force. These bonds are held Oy small syndi-
cate OF capitalists fer he purposes of specula-
ton, and it is alleged they put up a large
amount OF money to work this amendment
through the various Campaign committees.
The counting at the last poll in the CITY was
finished late last night. This is one Of the
polls where the officers appointed by the May.
or and Supervisor refused to be excluded and
stsid and saw the votes counted and Tailed,
with their revolvers IN their hands. The re-
suit was the beg counted up large opposition
majority and elects all but one of the anti.ring
representatives and conclmen. The newly
returned city government will meet to-mor-
Tow. Whether the members will be allowed
to take their seats is a question tomorrow
must answer.
