That fraud and violence was continued in

OF their own contrivance, which enabled the

boards were not able IN repair all the wrong
done. but did lawfully and properly reject tn"
returns of counties and parishes where the
fraud was most palpahic and gross and thus
secured the election of President Hayes. You
