Throughout the country. Not ealy Is
this part Of the ceantry being denied the

But the already badly Handicapped faF-
mers are likewise being given additional
bother because they are likewise being
given additional bother because they are
unable to get fertilizer while business
houses are unable to get their orders
filled or tell when they are going to get
goods which have been ordered for
months.
Some hope Is to be obtained from the
report that the situation has passed the
worst of the trouble. that many mare
cars are being moved each day although
the progress Is slow In getting rid oil

means from going to the poles. Tilden
could not have been elected.
Both the republicans and the demo-
Gratis claimed to have carried Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida, and from
those states two sets of returns were
sent to Washington. Who should decide
between them? The Constitution pro-
vides merely that the president of the
senate shall, in the presence of the SEN
ate and house, open the certificates,
'tand the votes shall then be counted"
But when there are two sets of votes,
who shall say which shall be counted?
1.-THE President of the Senate" answered
the republicans because the president of
the senate was republican. THE two
houses" said the democrats, because
one of the houses was democratic.
This indeed, had been the way of do
ing it. But even if that practice had
been followed, the problem would not
have been solved. The senate and the
decccratle house never would have
agreed. The result would have been
:. two president or no president
at all, presumably with Grant holding
on to the White House by main strength.
Compromise was necessary to save the
government from chaos and the country
from another civil war. The bitter dis
wrom were senator's and another third

| tween the parties. To guarantee a calm,

to decide ever essential question in favor
of Hayes by a strict party vote of to

But representatives of Hayes whispered
to certain southern democrats in secret
conference at Wormley's hotel that il
they would let the republicans have the
presidency, the republican president would
let them have their own state govern

session of the house, the result of the
election was declared at O'Clock il
the morning of March 2. 1877, just 81
hours before the inauguration.
For three months Hayes himself has
been alternating from day to day between
the expectation of success and defeat
Even when he started for Washington or
