* Rutherford B. Hayes declared election winner
Page 2 has a report headed: "Hayes And Wheeler Declared Elected" beginning: "The Republicans can now rest their fears & congratulate themselves upon accomplishing peaceably that which they expected at one time to do by the aid of the bayonet..." with more (see photos).
