B. Hayes.—Nevada Transcript. Yes! Wells, in Louisiana, Stearns in Florida, backed by Morton, Scofield and company have beeu seeking him with the office so hard that they disregarded the most sacred oaths men'tan take, fraudulently counting him in. It is a most remarkable instance of the office seeking the man. But the people did not seek him, for nearly half a million majority voted against bim—ahd he was defeated at the ballot box by .an overwhelming majority of the Electoral and the popular vote. The office wanted him so_ badly, however, that it has gone through more corruption than »ny Office went through to find him. Colusa Sun. ~‘Pbe other side of the story isabout this. Kelly and Grover in Oregon, Pelton in New York, backed by’Patrick & Co., were the seekers after the Reformer, ‘Tildew, and tbeir search was so persistent that eyen spew them out of thtir mouth. While Presidential election, Tilden got over a quarter of a million majority, it is also true that the majority was obtained by ball-dozing a part of the negroes to vote for him, and by scaring away from the polls and into swamps as mapymore. A majority of the States went for Hayes, and with afair vote “he would have rejority. When it comesdown to corruption, recent investigations show where thet came in, ‘and who was guilty of it. None of it has been charged. or will be proved against Governor Hayes. What Nasby Thinks. WNasby ie sad.

B. Hayes.—Nevada Transcript. Yes! Wells, in Louisiana, Stearns in Florida, backed by Morton, Scofield and company have beeu seeking him with the office so hard that they disregarded the most sacred oaths men'tan take, fraudulently counting him in. It is a most remarkable instance of the office seeking the man. But the people did not seek him, for nearly half a million majority voted against bim—ahd he was defeated at the ballot box by .an overwhelming majority of the Electoral and the popular vote. The office wanted him so_ badly, however, that it has gone through more corruption than »ny Office went through to find him. Colusa Sun. ~‘Pbe other side of the story isabout this. Kelly and Grover in Oregon, Pelton in New York, backed by’Patrick & Co., were the seekers after the Reformer, ‘Tildew, and tbeir search was so persistent that eyen spew them out of thtir mouth.

A majority of the States went for Hayes, and with afair vote “he would have rejority. When it comesdown to corruption, recent investigations show where thet came in, ‘and who was guilty of it.
