Mr.. Aaron L. Perry, who acted as Chairman
of tho Ohio Electors at their recent meeting made these
interesting remarks upon taking the chair Gentlemen
It may be proper this time to communicate to you
something that been matter Of interest TO me.
Matters Of business took me 10 Washington last week.
and while there incidentally had talk with persons
familiar with the inside politics. Now. without giving
special facts it may be proper TO say that oneaS hgh

duty relative to the Inauguration Of President L oi
course felt sure that this would not be otherwise but
was comfort to me learn from direct source that
paes In power were disposed TO carry the election
for Hayes by force fraud. The parties conyersed
with have In close telegraphie correspondence Win
all points whero irregularities trouble was likely to
occur and have done their utmost to prevent trouble
was glad be satisfied that the Administrator was MOI
takng any steps to Illegally iuaugurate GOV Hayes ana
nave been taken TO secure his Inauguration in spite Of
any opposition that may spring up anywhere


The latest solution of the Presidential mud
die comes from Springfield Mass. The Republican De-
heves that the Senate will not sustain President Ferry
he decides to recognize the regular electoral vote OF
each State that which authenticated by the State Gov
ernment thus giving the Presidency TO Mr.. Hayes.
Neither does believe that the Democratic doctrine that
either House can reject the vote Of State VIII prevail
II continues: What thenl Either the two Houses must
concur disposition of the subject by accepting or
rejecting such will either secure an undsputed
election or an undsputed choice in which latter case
of course the House would proceed under the cOnstu
tonal provision to elect Mr. Tlden. But II the two
branches cannot agree upon either of these results then
there would seem to be default Of election, and such
vacancy as under the Constitution, must be filled by
new election President of the Senate acting as res
dent Of the Government until that election Is held ono
decided. We believe this Is Gov IlluenS Wow OF tDe
Drobabe course of things. II is certainly the most
natural outcome Of the present conflict Of parties hd md
opinions and it may be described as the worst OF the
peaceful alternatives of the situation"

seems TO be meant for proof that the Democrats were
