The Demo-Confederate candidate 1a wholly Mgnorant of political and civil affulrs, ns bis whole life has been spent in military routine; -ho Js utterly unfit to discharge the deliente and diMcult dutics of the Presidency, and if elected avill be nothing more than 0 nose of wax in the ‘ands of tho crafty, unreconstructed, State-su- premacy Brigadiers of the South, It Is not safe to elect such a man Chie Mugistrate of this reat Republic. Tho Republicans must confront the "Solid Youth" by n Solid North: Congress sust be secavered from the hands of the Confederates ind their doughface alties; and the Govern- meut must bo keptin the control of tho party shat soved tho Union and mae a freo coun- try; that presorved tho flereely nesailed Nn- Honn) credit, restored the currenvy'to par, filled tho channels of trade with gold and ellver, ro- fluced tho public debt and tho rates of interest. and catabiished genoral prosperity, The busl- ‘noas interests of the cauntry cannot afford to be tampered ‘with or experiinented upon by cure renoy quioke or reckless demugogs, Gon, Gane FIBLD will give the people a pure, able, oco- uomieal, and efficient and patriotic Adminiatra- Non.

THE DEFUNCT ‘FRAUD ISSUE.” The Democratic Conyontion professed in its platform to belivve that Mr, ‘Tilden had been legally elected in 1876, aud was now President of the United States de jure, and Wappenled to the Amertean people to vindt- eate truth and Justice by olecting, not ‘Lil den, but Hancock, to tho Presidency in 1880, for the purpose of vindleating tho Usufruct! ‘The failure to nominate Tilden, the man claimed to have been defrauded of his elec: tlon, was practically a confession that tho ery of “Fraud” was an absurdity, because in nowlso could ‘Tilden bo vindicated save by his uwn lection, The Convention, how- ever, dit not dare to nominate him, even with all hls wrongs, Now, what is thore in Us question of fraud? ‘The two Hotses of Congress were controfled nt that thne by adverse polltteal majori- ties, ands to the yote of tho three States In controversy the majorities In tho two Mouses were at varluuce, ‘Pho Constitution was silent so far ny tho suggestion of any menns of determining this controversy snve. by the concurrent decision of the point at ixsno by these two opposing branches of tho Natlonal Legislature, ‘Tho majority of tho two ITouses united In a aw creating tho Electoral Commission. This Iaw was duly enneted by the condur- rence of a majority of the Republican Senate and of a majority of | the. Democratic House, It beeame a Inw. ‘of the Innd, This law, after crenting “the Com- mission, referred to them tho question whethor any power oxisted in Congress to overturn or go beliInd the deciston of tho Stato ofilcers as to the cholce of Prestdential Electors, Tho law did not confer absolute power on the Commiaslon, It submitted this question as to the puwers of Congress in the miatter to the Commission, to be decided na legal question by that Commission; the de- elsion to be certified to ench House, and unless reversed by both Houses of Congress, then the decision was to be held ns the de- elslon of both Houses of Congress, ‘Ihe question had never been previously ralsed or detennined, The Constitution pro- vides: Teach State shalt appoint, fn such mannor as tho Logisiuture thoreof may direct, a number of Eleotors uqual to the whalo number of Senators and Representutives to which the Stute may bo ontitied in the Congress, ‘This is all thore 1 In tho Constitution re- Inting to the election or ‘appulntment of Presidential Electors, ‘Che Constltutlon also provides that the Houxe of Representat! ves shalt be composed of mombors “chosen every second yoar by the people of tha soveral States,” and that the Senato shall be composed of “two Sen- ators from each State chosen by the Legisla ture thereof for six years; but it also pro- vides that “vach House shinil botho judge of the elections, rettrns, and qualifications of its own menibers,” Jn the enso of Senators and Representas tives, thoru Is a constitutional tribunal with exclusive authority to determine every ques- tlon relating to thelr claction, though they are elocted by the people or by the Logista- tures of the several States, ‘Phoro ts, hows ever, no atch tribunsl appointed by tho Constitution to determine the electlun of Presidential Electors, ‘The reason for tits fs, that Presidential Electors are made State officers by the Constitution, and. chosen In such manner ag may by preseribed by the Legislature of each State, Thelr appoliite iment ls by the State, under ‘the State laws; thoy ure State oflicera, whose functlons begin and ond with the duty Imposed on them by the State while acting for the State, ‘The question on whlch partlea und the ma- Joritiea In tho two Houses of Congress were divided was which set of parsons claiming tw have becn appoluted in eagh of the threa States wore In fact the duly appointed Elect- or, appointed under tholaws of these States, Returns were presented from ench of these States showing the appointment of two sets of Electors, and the quustion was to decide which returns shoukl be accepted and counted. Now, what did the Commission docide ? What thoory of law and Const|tue ton did they adopt as the truo one, and whiph 1M, shonld govern the actlon uf Congress 2 Tho Commission decided, as Jadge Moar clearly States it, as follows: | Tho Gomintiaton hold that the power uf decid+ {ng who had been duly choson Blcotors was in tho States. They held that tho votes of auch peraons were to te counter na the tribunal chose en for that purpose in ench State had dedliredt to have been duly appointed Its Klectors, They held that Congress hind hd authority, on pretense or anggcstion of mistake, misconiuct, fraud, or nny other ground whatever, to usurp the power to determine who had been chosen Electors in any State, or to reverse or overturn on any pre tens whatever tho State's decision by its own constitutional trivunal, That was what thé Commission decided, and it was nothing moro nor Jess than that each State alone, through its own legally established tribunals, hind the power or right to declare who had been appointed Electors, At this distance from the excltementa, hopes, and expectations of Intorested persons thera enn hardly bea falr or honest minded per- son whe wil not admit that, asn matter of lnw, the dectaton could not be otherwise. Judge Hoar, however, does not content himself with stating what the Commission Aiddectde; le goes further, and explodes ‘most of the Democratic claptrap on this sub- ject, and states what the Commission did not decide, He says: Wo did not hotd, ns is sometimes roprosented, that the cortificate of the certifying ollleer, Gove Ere OF BGSFOLAry, or whoever ‘clso he mny be, fut tho detorniinntion of tho conatituted by the State for that erga is binding upon nll other authority, Justus the Judymentot the Supremo Court of the United States, In enses within tha Juriedice tion given it by tho Conatitution, 1n conclusive, and ne mun ent be beard anywhere to contro- vertit,orto impute thit the Judges milscon- dueted or ercod through miatako or frandutont desien, so the Judgment of tho State, renderdd at the tle proscribed, and before the Electors voto, 1a Nal upon the tltlo of the Electors. Tho Cloris of the Supreme Court might fraudulontly or by twistuke wrongfully cortify as to whnt tho record of its Judgment, showed, So tho Keorn- tary or Governor of Stato might wrongfully cartify us to tho contents or affect of tho recorit of tho Judgment of its Returning Board. and that wrong certiflente muy be correoted by th real Jitement. ‘This Is ‘the almpie, principio which the Commission applicd to all tha dis. quted Stutes—to Florida, to Loutstana, to South Jarolina, to Oregon. When o Stute Legtistature by Inw creates 0 tribunal and clothes it with the oxclustvo power of determining the result of an olec- tlon for Presidential Electors, the judgment of that tribunal, being the judginent of tho State, ts final as against all others, Is there any Democratle lawyer prepared to disputé the correctness of that decision? When that judgment of the Electoral Commission was certified to the two Houses of Congress what ald those bodies do? Under tho Inw creat Ing the Commission, which Inw had been en- acted by the Democratic Mouse and by tho Republican Senate, the declsion of the Com- infaston was to stand as tho judgment of the: two Houses unless roversed by both Houses. Under the inode prescribed by Inw of Con- gress the counting of the Electoral voto for President was conciuded, and tho election of Ilsyes and Wheelor was declared in con- formity with that law. ‘Tho entire procoedings, fram the Inceptfon of the Electoral act to tho final declaration of the vote, was governed, controlled, and directed by law, which law was enacted by a majority of the Democratic members of both Houses. Yet the recent Democratlo Couvention spoke of Mr. Tilden na the law- ful President of the United States; and at the resent interview In New York between A conunittee of that Convention and ‘Tilden, the latter was nildressed ng ‘Mr. President.” Now, what Js thoro in tho “fraud? Issue? That there boing no legni or constitutional tribunal to consider and determine the ques- tion as to which. of certain Presidential Electors had been. appointed by three of the States, a tribunal was appointed for that purpose, the decision of this tribunal to be taken as the judgment of tho two Houses of Congress unless: re~ verseil by the two Houses. Under that law Myr. IInyes was declared, in tho judg- mont of the two Houses, elected Pres!- dent of the’ United States, just as overy other President has been doclared elected. .When Democrats spenk of the “fraud” uf 1870, Jet them answer In what the fraud con- sisted, IInd the two Houses tho right and tho power to declare who. was elected? If thoy had thnt power, then tho two Houses had the power to ascertain what votes had been given by tho States, and, haying counted tho votes and declared the result as detor- tlned by law, there was no more “fraud” intho proceeding than there was In any othor declaration of the result of 0 Preal- dentlil election, TWO PICTURES.

Hancock.

By the provisions of this trenty, made. in Bt.
