The battle, no, there was no bat- tle, we were ‘‘kept from war."” The contest, the election contest, 18 over. The close result brings to the thoughts of many the famous Tilden-Hayes controversy of 1876. In the election of 1876, Samuel J. Tilden, Democrat, carried Connecti- out, New York, New Jersey, Dela- ware, Maryland, Indiana and Mie- souri as well as 10 southern states, whose votes were not in dispute; 184 electoral votes were obtained for h:m and 185 constituted a majority. One additional electoral vote would have brought him into the presidency, and it seemed possible that one could te had from Oregon, where three Re- publican electors had undoubtedly been chosen, but one was considered ineligible under the law and the Democratic governor had appointed in his stead the next candidate on the poll, a Democrat, and given him his certificate. In the south, 19 electoral votes were in dispute. In Louisiana, a Re- publican board had given certificates to the Republican electors. In Flor- ida, the vote had been close. In South Carolina federal troops had guarded the polls. There were dou- ble returns from Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. One vote out of the 200 disputed— the one from Oregon—would have given the presidency to the Dema- crats. The control of the govern- ment depended upon the action of congress when it met in joint session to count the votes. The house was Democratic, the senate Republican. Congress listened willingly to pro- posals of compromise and it was agreed that an electoral commission should be constituted, consisting of five members of the house, three Democrats and two Republicans; five members of the senate, three Republi- cans and two Democrats, two Demo- crats and two Republicans from the supreme bench of the United States and an additional justice from the same court, selected by the four jus- tices named. Rutherford B. Hayes was chosen and Tilden turned down. In his history of this controversy in his “‘History of the American Peo- Woodrow Wilson said: Such a commission was undoubt- xtra constitutional body and vns disappointed the country 1y of judicial partiality hoped of from it. Mr. Justice Bradley, who was chosen by his fellow justices of the commission ThEEW to be the l5th member of the trib- unal, voted in every instance in fa- vor of the Republican claim, as did every other member of the commisi- sion, whether judge, senator or repre- sentative, whose affiliations were with the Republican party. Every Democrat on the commission voted in faver of the claim of the Demo- cratic managers. Every question submitted was settled by a - ,te of 8 to 7, but there was at least a set- tlement which no one dreamed of dis- puting or attempting to annul. Gen- eral Grant gave way to Mr. Hayes, and the government remained in the hands of the Republicans. CHILDREN HAVE : 20.000 MILE JOURNEY (By United Press) Mitehell, 8.
