The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections held meeting yesterday,
and took up the case OF Senator Spen-
Ger, against whom allegations OF fraud
in connection with his election have
been made. The committee examined
the charges and specifications at some
length, and will continue their labors
at the next session. 1t is understood
the committee have agreed to go into
a thorough investigation OF the manner
OF Mr.. Spencer's election, and Will con-
fine themselves solely to the allegations
of fraud, since many Of the charges In
regard to the legality of Mr.. spencer's
election were disposed OF in the con-
tested case Of Sykes VS.. Spencer, which
came before the committee year or
two ago.

small that weak nomination and a
laundering campaign may melt it
away. With the exception of South
Carolina the Southern States are Dem
ocratic, but the combined vote of those
States will not elect the President.
Make any reasonable or probable esti-
mate we may and we find that New
York holds the balance of power.
How New York will vote is also un-
certain. HENDRICKS might, though
we cannot say he would, carry Indi-
ana, but could he carry New York?
1t is possible, even probable, but not
positive. THURMAN might carry Ohio;
we do not think he would, but even
supposing he carried his own State
we have many reasons for doubling
that New York will cast her vote for
him. 1t is clear to all thinking Dem
ocrats that the man who will certainly
secure the electoral vote of New York
is the most available candidate the
Democratic party can nominate. AT
this time TILDEN appears to be that
man. The Democracy of his own
State have given him unanimous en-
dorsement, and there is little doubt
that he will go into the convention
with greater number of votes than
any other candidate. From our stand
point TILDEN is the only one of the
candidates among those now named
whom the Democrats can hope to elect
to the Presidency. With him as their
candidate New York is ours, and with
out New York we cannot carry off the
prize.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-02
Nominate the Strongest Man.

There are In the Democratic party
quite number of men in every way
qualified for an able and impartial
discharge of the duties devolving on
the President of the United States
who cannot be elected to that position.
The st. Louis Convention should not
lose sight of the self-evident fact that
the Democratic nominee must be a
man not only in every way fitted for
the high place to which he aspires, but
he must also possess the elements of
strength essential to secure his elec-
tion. The contest will be close, as
contests always are where the con-
tending forces are almost equal in nu-
merical strength. Those organs and
leaders of the Democracy that are pre-
dieting an easy victory this Fall are
deceiving themselves and weakening
the party. The prize is not to be had
for the asking. 1t must be fought for,
and if won at all it will be won by a
closely contested battle. 1t is COM
mon to assert that Democrats will
elect the President, but the gentle
men who make this assertion do not
give US the data on which they base
their too confident prediction. Let us
count the chances. Except Connecti-
cut, no New England State can be
counted for the Democracy, and on
the candidate and campaign depends
even Connecticut. Indiana is by no
means certain. Illinois will elect Re-
publican electors. Iowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Kansas and Nebraska are
all Republican. Pennsylvania and
Ohio are Republican. We cannot
count our own State as certain for us
unless we have a ticket head
ed by the most available man
in the party and make an en-
ergetic campaign. Oregon is DEM
ocratic, but the majority is SO

You that are suffering at once cast aside

kindling hope, under the treatment of DR..

we well know that some good will accrue from

In answer TO the letter of City Works
Commissioners Fowler and Adams refusing to

Ign, that they should remove all Republicans in
their employ, the subcommittee responded
yesterday renewing their request for the names
Of all employees, the salaries they receive. the
Wards from which they are appointed. and the
names Of those who appointed them. In this
way they suggest that Messrs. Fowler and
