Twenty-fou years afterward Jack

Frelinghuysen, father of the new
was also a member and later he went

There has been one classic presi-
Dental contest within the memory OF
many men still living. That happened
40 years ago-the year of our centen-
niaI. T.
On the face Of the returns Samuel
r. B. Hayes 1874. Nearly all the news
papers in the country on Nov. 8. 1876
said that Tilden had won.
Unfortunately for Tilden, the Demo
cratic national chairman telegraphed
to a New York Republican news
paper asking for it's latest figures on
South Carolina, Florida and Louis
lana. A quickwitted news editor, Mr.,
Reid, rushed to Republican head
quarters with that telegram.
He said it indicated that the Demo-
Gratis were in doubt themselves and
the Republicans had better claim
those states. And that is what old
Zach" Chandler proceeded to do. So
began the famous fight which left the
country in doubt up to the day of in
auguration and at times even threat
ened civil war. -. H..
The Republicans said there was
that the real vote was not as re-
turned
Curiously enough, southern Demo-
Gratis who remembered the war were
far less vehement about the thing than
northern, Democrats. Sen. Ben" Hill
of Georgia., sarcastically remarked
Many of our northern Democrats are
invincible in peace. but invisible in
war;. ..-
President Grant sent soldiers to Flor
ida, and that caused Democrat to in
troduce a resolution in the house to
impeach Grant. But Grant was entire
ly fair, and he said he would use the
army If necessary to seat in the presi-
Dental chair whomsoever congress said
had been duly elected.
The famous electoral commission was
created to decide about the votes In
those contested states. 1t was made up
of five representatives, five senators
and five United States supreme court
justices.
Grant favored this commission, but a
big majority of Republican congress
senators opposed it. The Democrats
put the plan through.
Hayes himself, who became president
through the action of that commission
said the thing was unconstitutional
and he opposed it.
Rumors got abroad that James Rus
sell Lowell, a Republican elector Of
Massachusetts,, believed Tilden had
fairly won and he would so vote and
thus elect him, despite Florida's vote.
But he did not do that.
Roscoe Conkling was omitted from
the electoral commissioners the leg

had been elected, ,...a.. Z = 5a
