lent that historians still argtie'
whether Rutherford B. Hayes or
Samuel J. Tilden was elected presi-
dent in the "Stolen Election" ot |
1876.
No contest like if has ever hap-
pened. The result hung on a single
electoral vote.
It is obvious that neither man
was elected fairly. The methods
used to seat Hayes were so arbi-
trary and narrowly partisan ns to
suggest acceptance of the verdict
oen thorough investigator who fin-
ally decided that:
"The Democrats stole the elec-
tion in the first place and the Re-
publicans stole it back."
Disorganization
Merits ot the issue were confused
owing to political disorganization
of certain southern states. These
statei were just shaking off carpet-
bag rule Left to themselves. South
