declared to have been chosen as pres
1dent by the people Of the United
States The commission was bitter
ly critized, but that did not change
the election and Hayes was inaugural
ed on March 4, 1877.
There will never, in all probability,
be a repetition Of the 1876 contest
for in 1887 congress passed a law
providing that each state should des-
ignate a tribunal to settle any contest
over electoral votes, and that, unless
such tribunal or both houses of the
state Legislature should reach a deci-
sion, the vote of the state concerned
should be disregarded.
The dispute of 1884 on election
night simmered down to New York
The newspapers of the next morning
gave Cleveland a plurality of 10000
in the state. Each morning it was
reduced by more complete returns
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1916-11-09

O'Clock was conceded by the republi-
can leaders,
Ihe other memorable instance of
clase national elections was in 1884,
when 1T was not known until Friday
after election day whether Grover
Cleveland or James G.. Blaine had
been chosen president, and then the
contest was decided in New York state
by a margin of LOO votes. 1t was
at this election that John Y. McKane
the democratic boss of Coney Island,
who later went to Sing Sing for over
Jealous political activity, gave the
Cleveland ticket a plurality in Grave
send that exceeded by 1000 the total
number of men, women, and children
in the town, which was 5000.
The contest of 1876 which brought
wholesale charges of fraud, gun-play,
intimidation and murder, some of
which were almost proved, started on
election night when it became appar-
ent on the returns not to be doubted
that Tilden had 1874 electoral votes
and Hayes 165, with twenty votes
doubtful. One hundred and eighty
five were necessary for a choice. The
twenty doubtful votes were .distribut-
ed in Oregon, LOUISIANA Florida and
South Carolina.
BY sun-up of the next morning both
republicans and democrats started
after those twenty votes. If the re-
publicans got them all it meant that
Hayes would be elected by a margin
of one electoral vote
The heat of the contest was in the
south, and particularly in Louisiana.
In that state the democratic electoral
candidates received a majority of the
votes cast, on the face of the returns,
but republican returning boards al
legged that the democrats had used
shotguns to terrify negroes, who
would have voted the republican tick
ct, had practiced other Irregularities
and accordingly, to even matters up,
they threw out enough democratic
votes to make it appear that the re-
publican electors were chosen.
In South Carolina, the republicans
had the electors on the face of the
returns, but the democrats charged

UNCOVER GREAT FRAUDS TN
FARM LOANS
Washington, Oct. 12.-Seeking to
head off what they believe is devel-
oping into one of the greatest finan-
cial frauds the U. S. has known, the
federal farm loan board today asked
the aid of the department of justice.
Clear across the continent in a
strip of states from Virginia to Cali
fornia, the board reported to the JUS
tice dept, organizations, either de-
ib6rately fraudulent or at best lille
gal, have sprung up for the purpose
of defrauding farmers through the
latter's ignorance of the new rural
credits act. In one single instance,
it is said, the farmers have been vic
timized to an aggregate of $350,O00.
The board believes it will be able
to prosecute successfully. Some time
ago it announced a ruling that no
proposed Joint stock land bank will
be chartered if it has spent money
for promotion. This was designed to
hold the expense Of operation down
to a minimum in order that the in
terest rates to farmers may be the
lowest possible. In the face of this
ruling, it is said, promoters have con-
tinued to sell stock in proposed land
banks and to take parts Of the pro-
ceeds for their own services.
One of these concerns failed before
it could even have applied for char
ter. but it had sold stock to amount
of several hundred thousands dollars
to farmers.

SAFETY FIRST FOR PRosPEc.
TIVE BRIDEcRooMs.

Here are the ten commands for the
guidance Of prospective bridegrooms
given by the Rev. Robert j. MacAl.
pine. of the Central Presbyterian
church Of Buffalo, n. Y, in a sermon:
/. Don't bank on mere beauty; it is
unreliable as the weather.
2. Don't marry for talent, popular
ity or wealth. Without love these
would be as insipid as an egg without
salt.
3. Don't lei sentiment rule you.
Like a flower, it is apt to fade before
tomorrow
4. Don't marry woman whose
stock Of common sense is no greater
than her dollars and cents AS no
amount Of the latter can buy the least
amount Of the former, you would like
ly soon be hopeless insolvent
5. Don't. propose to a young wo-
man whose tongue isn't silent during
the sermon. She has sermons in store
for you.
6. Don't marry girl who thinks
more Of a good time than a good name
Your good time would very probably
never arrive
4 Don't choose a young woman who
ii more concerned about how she
looks than how she acts. One is What
she appears to be, the other is what
she is.
8. Don't marry your opposite in re-
lIgion. Your religion is likely to out
live your love.
8. Don't marry till your heart and
hand are as clean as those you have
won. Black and white mixed make
both a dull gray.
10. Don't marry in haste. For the
sake of at least two lives. keep in mind
the modern key-words Safety First"
and Preparedness"
