have chosen Samuel J. Tild6n to the
Presidency States that have cast
their votes for him have been denied
him by illegal partisan boards organ
ized to cheat and swindle. Because
certain States of the South were once
in rebellion the leaders of the Repub
lican party assume that they have no
rights and that indignities can be put
upon . them with impunity i wbioh
would dri7e other States into open
revolt. Committees of , Congress,5
headed by Democrats, have been br-j
