When the Electoral college of Lou

remark : I have been offered to-day
.$100,000 if I would vote for Samuel J.
Tilden. I consider my right to vote
for Rutherford B. Hayes worth more

During the Constitutional Conven

State House could well enough hold

Ites generally swore by it. We coin
cided with them then, and differ from
them now, only in being of the same
opinion still. Kencsaw Times.
No difference. Thoj present State
House is too small, and as the capital
is going to remain at Lincoln, why
not make a move toward erecting a
more commodious building. Of
course we favor keeping the capital
where It Is, and of course brother
Williams wants the capital removed
to Kencsaw, whioh accounts for the
difference. We may all be tooselfieh.
Democrats have much to say about
the popular majority of Tilden, but
Republicans know that majority was
secured through frauds and intimida
tion. We recognize the fact that had
the people voted in Mississippi, North
Carolina, Alabama according to their
own willand convictions, those states
would have given large Republican
majorities, and in Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina the majorities
would have been much larger than
they were twenty times as large at
least. And so in all the Southern
states, had the Republicans been al
lowed to vote and a free and fair elec
tion, hundreds of thousands would
have been Added to the popular vote of
HayeB, and given him a larger vote
than tbat claimed for Tilden. Could
the people of the United States ex
press their honest desires at the ballot-box,
Hayes would beat Tilden by
a half million votes at the lowest esti
mate.. He has, in addition to these
facts, the electoral votet honestly and
falrl;.won, in spite of tho devilish
means resorted to to cheat the coun
try out of a fair election and defeat
him, and he will be declared elected
in February and in March he will be
inaugurated as the people's choice for
President. And if necessary, those
Southern people who have been bull
dozed and cheated out of the dearest
rights of citizenship will make their
strength realized and acknowledged
by helping to Inaugurate President
Hayes and sustaining bJm afterwards.
Give those men leaders and arms, and
to understand thev are in the line of
duty to their county and friends, and
their work would be more terrible
than tbeir timid efforts to vote. Then
may be tested on which side is the
popular majority. We hope there
will be no occasion for so testing it,
but as the Democracy are talking
"Tilden or war," we propose "Hayes
and the right," if we have to fight for
them. This Is the temper of the Re
publican party to-day. But If any
proper court of arbitrament should de
oide against the party and that Tilden
is to be the man, then the Republi
can party will submit as loyal citi
zens. OFFICIAL CANVASS

Dayton, O., December 13. Gov.
Hayes was serenaded in the city, this
evening, at the house of a friend, Mr.
R. C. Anderson, whom ho was visit
ing. Early in the evening a salute of
185 guns was fired, and a concourse of
1,000 people gathered aboutjthe house
with music and flags. The greatest en
thusiasm prevailed, and the Governor
responded as follows :
"My friends: I will not detain
you longer than four or five min
utes. I am here on a 6hort visit to
your beautiful city of Dayton, not on
any political mission, or to talk on
any of the political questions of the
remarkable canvass that has just
dosed. Iunderstand that these greet
ings here to-night are not so mucii in
honor of myself, as on account of the
peouliar interest that Is felt in the
present condition of the country. In
the excitement that has pervaded be
fore and since the election, people
of ardent temperament have said and
done things that are indiscreet, but
as the excitement subsides we begin
to return to our better wisdom and
judgment. I have too much faith
in the eaving common sense of the
American people, to think they
desire to see In their country a Mex
ioanlzed Government. Whatever
may be the result at which the lawful
authorities shall arrive, you and I will
quietly submit, and I have sufficient
respect and confidence In the great
majority of the opposite party to be
lieve they will do the same. I was
glad to see in a paper this evening ar
article from the London Times respec
ting the condition of this country.
Such a state of affairs, it said, could
notoccur anywhere else In the worfd.
The entire area of the country agitat
ed by the uncertain issue of the politi
cal conflict, yet not one shot fired and
not one man killed ; no breaches of the
peace. We have seen this Centennial
year the wonders of our growth dis
played in the exhibition of agricultu
ral and mechanical arts, and we are
now afforded an opportunity of
irlvlng to the world an example of
the value of Republican govern
ment. In speaking to you this even
Ine I have referred, without previous
thought, to what mUBt have oc-urred
to every one of us standing here, and
I take my leave of you with most sin
cere acknowledgment of this express-
Ion of your friendship and goodwill."
A witness before the Congressional
committee In New Orleans a Demo
cratic lawyer, named S. J. N. Smith
testified that Anderson, the election
supervisor of East Feliciana, told him
that "the parish would goDemooratio,
but that ho could count it Republi
can.1' And Republicans wanted him
"to swear there was frauds practiced
by Democrats. "That man that
Democratic lawyer evidently swore
falaelv. He told a story manufactur
ed for the occasion. How unreason
able It Is to suppose that a Republican
officer, even if he had the disposition
to commit a fraud, would tell a lead
ing Democrat what he was goiug to
do. And the Republicans went to
this Democratic lawyer to get him to
swear thatDemocrats practiced frauds.
How very reasonable. But that vir
tuous Demooratio lawyer refused.
That style of testimony la purely
Democratic.
Elsewhere we print a short speech
made by President-elect Hayes, made
at Dayton, Ohio. It has the real ring
of the patriot and" good Citizen The
remarks, "I have too much faith in
the Baving common sense of the Amer
ican people to think they desire to see
in their country a Mexloanized gov
ernment." And, "Whatever may be
the result at which the lawful author
ities shall arrive, you and IJwill qui
etly submit," are worthy the man the
great Republican party voted for. He
spoke the universal .'sentiments of hiB
party, aud his party will back him,
stand by him, and follow him as a
leader, because he leads In the right
direction.
If the Republican party was not
lost to every partlole of honor, they
would for ever hide their heads in
shame at the gross fraud and Imposi
tion tbey tried to impose upon the
nation in parading before the public
that woman, Eliza Pinkston, as a
specimen of southern chivalry. Holt
County Mo. Press.
Those Democrats, who committed
the outrages upon her, and murdered
her husband and child, would be
much better specimens of Southern
chivalry to parade. Eliza Pinkston,
outraged and covered with wounds, is
not a good specimen of Southern chiv
alry. She is, however, an excellent
specimen of the brutality of southern
chivalry. Her testimony will stand
as unrefuted history holding up to
the gaze of horrified humanity those
gallant speoimens of southern chival
ry who bravely ride out at night to
negro cabins t6 force negro women to
appease their chivalric lust and whip
negro men, or murder them, for vot
ing the Republican ticket.
The railroad ouildings at Lake Sta
tion, at Council Bluffs, were destroy
ed by lire on last Sunday night. One
man, by the name of Daniel Duffy, a
car inspector, perished in the flames.
The dopot hotel, baggage room, tele
graph office, and all the ticket offices
of the Iowa roads, with the platforms
adjoining, were burned up. All the
ticket cases, with their contents, in
the several ticket offices, were des
troyed. The loss was about $40,000.
J. E. Markel & Co., proprietors of the
railroad hotel lost about $8,000; insur
ance, $4,000. This is the fourth time
Mr. Markel has been burned out.
Most of the oontents of the baggage
room were saved. We glean from the
Omaha Republican's report.
Toombs on Bull-Dozing.
There can be no possible doubt that
bribery, intimidation and3"bull-doz-ing,
was premeditated Iongibefore the
November election by the leading
Democrats of tho South. Below we
give an extraot from a speech deliv
ered at Atlanta, Georgia, January 26,
1876, by Robert Tombs, the finest ora
tor and one of the oldest rebels during
the late war. The speeoh appeared in
the Atlanta papers and waB highly
applauded. Speaking of the unity of
the human race, which he denies, he
sayB :
"They (the negroes) are formed
slaves at home (Africa) and slaves ev
erywhere. Look at him in Africa!
The Yankees hired Irishmen to do
their throat-outting the poor and
weaker of that race of Irishmen who
fight the battle of every country but
their own, aud for others wrongs bo
fore their own rights. But tho war
ended and the army disbanded. They
had already robbed you of everything
possible. Then they robbed you of
your arms, and then dug into the
ground for the last silver dollar that
your wife had hoarded all through
the dark days to buy bread aud meat
iu tho time of distress. They not on
ly loved the villians but the villlany !
Applause.
This constitution waB made by these
thieves to perpetuate themselves in
power. What did they do? We got
a good many honest fellows into the
first legislature, but I will tell you
how we got them there. I will tell
you the truth. The newspapers won't
tell It to you. We got them there by
carrying the black vote by intimida
tion and bribery ! Laughter, and I
helped do it! Applause. I would
have scored the people if they had not
done it! And I will buy them as long
as they put beasts to the ballot box!
Cheers. No man should be given
the elective franchise who has not the
Intelligence to use it properly. The
rogue should not have It, for govern
ment is made to punish him ; the fool
should not, for government is to take
care of him. Now, these miserable
wretohes the Yankees have Injeot
ed five millions of savages into the
stomaoh of our body politic, and the
man who accepts negro suffrage, I
say, accursed be he! Cheers. I
donrt want representation based on
population alone. It was always upon
population and territory, and if you
have a convention, I can make you
a constitution by which the people
will rule, and the nigger will never
be heard of. Cheers.

A CARD FROM CHANDLER.
An address has to-night been issued
by the Democratic Committee. It is
a last desperate attempt to prop a fail
ing cause. Governor Hays has been
fairly elected by a dear majority of
the Electoral vote. There Is no indi
cation that any right-minded citizen
has any doubt as to the result. The
address of the Democratic Committee
is an impudentand audacious attempt
to prejudice and pervert the public

people will be carried out and main
tained. (Signed) Z. Chandler.

A Great IS'ntional Work.
The Illustrated History of the Cen
tennial Exhibition, with a full des
cription of the Great Buildings and
all the objeots of interest exhibited in
them. By James D. McCabe, author
of "The Centennial History of the
United States," Etc. Embellished
with over 300 fine engravings of build
ings and scenes in the Great Exhibi
tion. The National Publishing Co. of
Philadelphia and St. Louis, havo is
sued a handsome volume bearing the
above title. The intense interest ev
erywhere manifested in the great Ex
hibitation, and the desire to obtain a
complete and connected account of it,
will unquestionably cause this book
to have a very extensive sale.
This History of the Centennial Ex
hibition is not a dry list of articles ex
hibited. It is a superb volume of 874
pages, from the pen of one of the most
popular authors of the day. Mr. Mc
Cabe received the constant and sym
pathetic assistance of the Centennial
authorities, and enjoyed peculiar ad
vantages in the preparation of this
work. He went, note-book in hand,
through every department of the Ex
hibition, and the result oLhU labors

traces the history of the great enter
prise from its inception to its trium
phant closing day. He then takes us
through every part of the Exhibition
grounds giving brilliant accounts of
every building and other feature of
interest within tliem. Wo aro taken

Government Building, and all the
other structures, and our deepest at

The book is written with a vigor
and brilliancy which renders it a com
plete and life-like picture of tho great
World's Fair, and which make it in
valuable to all olasses of our people.
To those who have visited the Exhibi
tion it will be a pleasing souvenir of
their visit, and enable them to recall
tho magnificentscenes they have wit
nessed. To those who could not make
the journey, the book is a necessity,
for it will enable them to enjoy the
delights of a thorough acquaintance
with tho great Exhibition In the
quietude of their own homes.
There is not another book in print
which gives one-fourth of the infor
mation contained In this work. It is
superbly illustrated, and the price is
so low that all can afford to secure a
copy. The book is sold by subscrip
tion only, and the publishers want
agents in every county.
