Mr.. Chandler then drifted into the election frauds
| In New-York City. He described the way 10 which
the vote OF the State OF NewYork counted In 1853
for Seymour for President and Hoffman for Governor
and taken away from Grant and Grswold. The
process be said, had been exactly the reverse Of thai
at the recent election In louisiana In Louisiana

ma1oriies to be elegraphed immediately that they
might know exactly the majority necessary TO be given
In the city and they had contenfed themselves with
the reasona lie State majority o. % 900 for Hoffman
and 10000 for Seymour But, when Governor Nc
Emery sent word tO The electoral officers OF the par
shes In Louisiana to return majohties for Ncon, they
did not know how much was wanted and hence there
had been the enormous majority Of $4,000 returned BY
the election officers and counted and promulgated By
| the secretary Of State.
Mr.. Vest asked Mr.. Chandler whether IN 1851, tho
| Republican managers Of the Penn ylvania election,
then under the political control of the present chair
man of the National Republican Committee, had not
telegraphec from Philadelphia TO PIT sburg. saying:
