South, with its great material re-
sources, its defensive means of noun

of the interior lines of war, would he
open to discredit as a people if its
failure could not be explained other

The great Frederick, at the head of a
little people, not only beat back a
combination of several great military

Europe at the feet of France till his
blind ambition overleaped itself.
1t may be said that the South had
no Fredericks or Napoleons, but il
had at least as good commanders as
its adversary. Nor was it the fault
of our soldiers or people. Our soldiers
were as brave and intelligent as ever
bore arms, and if only for reasons al.
ready mentioned they had a determ.

Proofs of Fraud.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Mail
and Express says additional proofs
of fraud perpetrated at the late cleo
ton in the interest Of the Cleveland
ticket were received to-day at the
Republican State Committees head
quarters in the Gilsey House. The
evidence which comes from the in
terror of the State, was Immediately
transmitted to counsel. Mr.. John
w. Vrooman, of the committee, said
to a Mail md Express reporter: "Our
policy has been to withhold from the
public until the matter has been
brought up for adjudication, the de-
tails of the testimony on which we
base the charges of fraud. The latest
evidence which has come into our
possession is simply cumulative. 1t
iustifies and strengthens the position
we have taken, and wi, we believe,
change the alleged Cleveland plural
ity into a positive victory for Blaine.
Proofs of fraud multiply constantly,
and we are able to produce oyer 1900
atfidavits of persons who voted for
Butler. and whose votes were count
ed, aS the record shows, not for him,
but for Cleveland.
