Excerpt from The Vote That Made the President
Mr. Hayes was thus declared elected by a majority of one. If any vote counted for him had been counted on the other side, Mr. Tilden, instead of Mr. Hayes, would have had the 185 votes; if it had been rejected altogether, each would have had 184 votes, and the House of Representatives would im mediately have elected Mr. Tilden. One vote, therefore, put Mr. Hayes into the presidential office.
To make up the 185 votes counted for him, 8 came from Louisiana and 4: from Florida. Whether they should have been thus counted is a question that affects the honor, the conscience, and the interests of the American people. There is not a person living in this country who has not a direct concern in a just answer. Not one will ever live in it whose respect for this generation will not depend in some degree upon that answer.
The 12 votes were not all alike. Some had one distinction, some another. But, not to distract attention by the discus sion of several transactions instead of one, and because one in the present instance actually determined the result, I will confine my observations to a single vote. For this pur pose let us take one of the votes from Louisiana, that, for instance, of Orlando H. Brewster.
