jectured in Democratic circles that
deep laid scheme goes behind Ed
m:nds' investigation resolution under
which Senate privileges and election
committee commenced work yesterday.
1t is snrmised that Republicans will i'll
case Of need concede the right of
either House to exclude disputed cleo
! toral votes Of Louisiana. Florida and
Sonth Carolina, but vii! thereupon aid,
with testimony to be gathered concern
! ing the elections in Alshama. Missis
sippi and Georgia. insist upon exclud-
ing the votes Of these States also, and
this would give Hayes and Wheeler a
clear majority OF all electoral votes not
in dispute. Well informed Republicans
ridicuie this idea. however, maintaining
that the Oregon difficulty will readily
be overcome. and still confidently as
sert that the presiding officer of the
Senate will count lSj votes for the Re
publican candidates, and that his an
nonnccment of the result will he peace
