ana great ability to make a study OF the ciphers
and unravel them il possible. After many weeks
OF unremitting labor the systems upon which
the ciphers used in these dispatches were framed
were discovered. No less than six different
cryptograms had been employed. The trans
lation of these dispatches revealed the startling
information that while Mr. Tilden and his man.
ayers were making loud accusations Of fraud"
Mr.. Tilden's own nephew and confidential agents
were personally present in the South trying to
purchase with large sums OF money two of the
State Canvassing Boards and the vote Of one
eiector In third State. The Tribune printed all
the dispatches and their translatons during 1873
The pubic was astOunded. No denial Of the &C.
curacv Of the TRANSACTIONS was ever made by the
democratic managers. and the Democratic party
OF the United States was again exposed to public
execration for its crimes against the suffrage
and the authority OF the public laws.

Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana had been
lawfully cast for Rutherford B. Hayes.
THE CONSPIRACY UNMAsKED.
The Democratic party refused to accept the
verdict as just and has always claimed that
President Hayes held his seat by fraudulent
title. For a while public sentiment was un-
settled by this brazen claim. But revulsion
OF opinion took place in favor Of President Hayes
when II was discovered that Georgia and MIS-
sissippi in which States the Republicans justly
had overwhelming majorties, had been stolen
by armed suppression Of the negro vote AT the
polls and extraordinary Justification OF the re-
turns.
The Republican triumph was made complete
in 1873 by remarkable discovery and brilliant
piece Of journalistic work by The Tribune This
paper came into possession Of a mass OF original
telegraphic dispatches which had been ex-
changed between persons in New-York City and
others in the South and in Oregon during Novem-
Der, 1876. These dispatches were sent by ana
to the managers of the Democratic National
campaign in New-York City. Some were In
plain English, but the majority were in cipher
The latter were, at first, utterly unintelliglble
Mr.. Reid, the Editor Of The Tribune, was de-
termined that these dispatches should be trans
lated, and he detailed two editorial writer's OF

THE RESULT DISPUTED.

THE RESULT DISPUTED.
For a long time the result OF this election re-
NAMED in doubt. The outrageous intimidation
OF colOred voters in the South by armed Demo-
Gratis. and audacous manipulation OF the count
at the various polling places by Democratic
election officers. almost Of themselves sufficient
to have justified an armed revolution had the
will Of the people been frustrated resulted in the
almost complete humiliation Of the rights Of the
colored and white Republican voters in the
South. In South Carolina. Florida and Louisi-
ana the vote Of the two political parties as re-
turned by the Democratic local election officers.
was so close that for many weeks 1t was UNI
certain which OF the two candidates for Presi-
dent had been elected. There was, further, some
doubt to the electoral vote OF Oregon. Both
parties claimed the election, and both made
urgent efforts to secure the three Southern States
whose electoral votes were In suspense. The
Canvassing Boards however, in the exercise of
their legal powers excluded the votes Of certain
precincts in which outrageous frauds and vio-
lence had been perpetrated by the Democrats.
and finally gave the electoral votes OF Florida,
North Carolina and Louisiana for the Republi-
can candidate to whom they rightfully belonged
When Congress met the questions raised by
the action OF the Southern Canvassing Boards

proper method OF counting the electoral vote
The country trembled under the excitement and
