Therefore Grant's first administration represented "Negro Domination." Again, in 1876, Hayes was declared elected President by a majority of one vote in the electoral college.

This was made possible by the result of the election in the States of Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida, about which there was much doubt and considerable dispute, and over which there was a bitter controversy.

But for the colored vote in those States there would have been no doubt, no dispute, no controversy.

The defeat of Mr.Hayes and the election of Mr.Tilden would have been an undisputed and an uncontested fact.

Therefore, the Hayes administration represented "Negro Domination." Again, in 1880, General Garfield, the Republican candidate for President, carried the State of New York by a plurality of about 20,000, without which he could not have been elected.
