Hayes, republican, was declared elect- ed president by a margin of one elec- toral vote over Samuel J. Tilden, democrat, almost four months after the election. On election night in November, 1876, Tilden’s election was announced 4in the first editions of all the newspapers, and at 1:30 POPOVDOOOO SO>S For R tic Mise @ heuma SOSSDG There is no place for rheumatic pains : and misery, if you will only follow the advice of an old, expe- rienced physician, Dr. Levi | Minard prescribed and used Minard’s liniment for sore- ness, stiffness, swelling and all rheumatic pains.

Blaine had been chosen president, and then the contest decided in New York state by a margin of 1,100 votes. It was at this election that John Y. McKane, the démocratic boss of Coney Island, who later went to Sing Sing for over- zealous political activity, gave the Cleveland ticket a plurality in Grave- send that exceeded by 2,000 the total number of men, women, and children in the town, which was 5,000. The contest of 1876 which brought wholesale charges of fraud, gun-play, intimidation and murder, some of which were almost proved, started on election night when it became appar- ent on the returns not to be doubted that Tilden had 184 electoral votes and Hayes 165, with twenty votes doubtful. One hundred and eighty- five were necessary for a cholce. The twenty doubtful votes were.distribut- ed in Oregon, Louisana, Florida and South Carolina. By sun-up of the next morning both republicans and democrats started after thos twenty votes. If the re- publicans got them all it meant that Hayes would be elected by a margin of one electoral vote. 3 The heat of the contest was in the south, and particularly in Louisana. In that state the democratic electoral candidates received a majority of the votes cast, on the face of the returns, but republican returning boards al- leged that the democrats had used shotguns to terrify negroes, who would have voted the republican tick- et, had practiced other irregularities and accordingly, to even matters up, they threw out enough democratic votes to make it appear that the re- publican electors were chosen. In South Carolina, the republicans had the electors on the face of the returns, but the democrats charged instance of in 1884, until Friday FEW MINUTES !

In Florida both sides laid claim to vie- tory and the claims were so bemud- dled that it seemed impossible to make any decision without another election. In Oregon, the republicans appeared to have carried the state, but the democrats claimed that much as one of the republican candi- dates was a postmaster at the time the republican ticket was illegal. Tor a month conflicting claims and accusations flew through the contest- ed southern states. Delegations of re- publicans from the north went down inas- { to see fair play and received a wel- come from the democrats that was not. cordial. Tilden was accused of having been responsible for the ship- ment of arms and ammunition to the democratic politicians in Louisiana. Congress met Dec. 1. The Constitu- tion said that in case of a contest “the president of the senate shall, in the presence of the senate and the house of representatives, open all certifi- cates and the votes shall then be counted.” The senate was republican and many influential republicans de- clared that the Constitution gave the republican president of the senate the right to count the votes. The demo- crats asserted just as positively that no count would go unless the house, which was democratic, participated. Finally & joint committée decided upon a bill providing that the conflict- ing returns be submitted to an elec- toral commission of fifteen, composed of five representatives, five senators and five members of the supreme court. There was an important clause in the bill which said that the find- Ing of the commission was to stana unless rejected by “separate vote of both houses.” The senate, being republican, named three republicans— Edmunds, Morton and Frelinghuysen—and two democrats—Thurman and Bayard; the house, being democratic, named three democrats— Payne, Hunton and Abbott—and two republicans - field and Two democratic jus- tices—Clifford and Field—and two re- publicans: rong and Miller—were named, and to them v intrusted of the commission.

Grape-Nuts Flavor Grape-Nuts food is probably the most appetizing form in which honest whole wheat is utilized as food. But to whole wheat is added malted barley in making Grape-Nuts, and the sense of taste quickens at once when a spoonful of the food is eaten with cream. For the barley has a rich, individual taste which, blended with the sweetness of wheat, creates a rare flavor recog- unusually new nized by the palate as and delicious. Aside from its wonderfully vitaliz- ing value as a food, Grape-Nuts has a flavor that has made it a favorite every- where. There’s a Reason
