Mr.. William NJ. Eyarts-whO was Hayes
lawyer before the Electoral Commission,
and wa also the presiding officer at the
recent money raising dinuer given BY Jay
Gould and Cyrus Field TO Blainc-and Mr.

lawyer in the star route trials, in which he

ways and means to dispute the honest elcc-
ton of Grover Cleveland 10 the Presidency

Dudley and New are relied on to engineer

posed and denounced in the stirring address
issued by the Democratic State Committee
AT q 5.ter hour, which We publish at the head
OF cur political news columns. II Is further

turning boards Of Florida. Louisiana and
South. Carolina were dealt with in
loT6. With the assurance
of finding INSCRIPTIONS Republican
politicians in command of some Of them
and with the hope Of finding facile Repa6ii
can Judges in some OF the rural courts.
Messrs ErartS and Bliss, with a gang OF
subordinate lawyers from this city and its
neigh5orhood. propose to Invade selected
counties and bulldOEe or iuggle the canvass
ing Of their returns so as TO cheat Governor
Cleveland ont Of his majority Of the peoples
ballots.
They DO not propose to go into all the
sixty counties. b. no means. That would
upset the plot for technical irregularities in
a general investigation would he pretty sure
to balance one another. What they pro,
pose is only a oEe-sided inquisition, as
partial as it is perfdious, And it is
an inquisiGon for which there is no de-
msnd from the selected eosnties. 1t is
planned in the metropolis and is to be con-
Quoted inSullingly to the people Of those
counties on directions drawn up in the cen
trail nest of Blaine conspiratOrs here. We
have selected the apt word when We term it
an invasion.
We have plain and very serious words to
say to Messrs. Evsrts and Bliss about this
plot:
Gentlemen, YOU will push this country
periously near TO the verge of a revolution
If you persist in Jour chicanerv and find
INSCRIPTIONS supervisors and facile iadges
to do your bidding. YOGr party was fairly
beaten in the election. The majority did
not submit 10 be howled out of its victory
last week and will M submit to be jugslel
out OF it this week. 1t has no more respect
Tor your lawyers tricks than it has for a
mCbs b~ludgeons. The Presidential
cheat OF 1876 shall not be repeated
with success, nor attempted with i'm
punity. You may iatter yourselves that
your lawyers gowns are strong enough
armor to protect you. But beware, for sour
own sake, lest you are mistaken. II you
are as wise as your recent associate Jaw
Gould, you viii follow his example of sur
render.
