Cured on that morning"
Such is the confession which this editor Of
the Neu York Times put on record in the
columns OF his own newspaper eleven years
after the events narrated. BY tho Times $
own statement. it appears that the bold but
criminal idea of holding and claiming Lou
isiana for HAYES against all evidence that
| it had voted for TILDEN, and depending on
| the Republican scoundrcls in New Orleans to
make good the claim by forgery. perjury,
or what not. originated neither with ZACH
| ARIAH CHANDLER nor with WILLIAM L.
| CHANDLER, but in the Office of the Ncn York
Times. And that newspaper. inveterate in
its hatred OF Democracy and INSCRIPTIONS
| in its methods, in the early morning hours
| of the day after election not only laid the
foundation for the complicated snparstruc-
ture of fraud thereafter erected. but it was
the active agent in carrying out its own
conspiracy. and tho first disburscr OF money
to promote the Fraud.
We recall these circumstances and this
confession as of present interest to Demo
Gratis who may be wondering what debt
their party owes TO the -Neur York Times
that they should listen with respect or even
patience to it's advice to the Democracy
concerning the election of its favoritc free
trade and income tax crank as Speaker o.
the Democratic House which is to make OF
unmakc O. Democratic President next year
