WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec 29.-Tho memorial
Of Wade Hampton AMI 0thcrs from South Caro-
lima, presented to-day by Senator Gordon, Is &C.
ccptc1 BY Republicans as evidence that there
will be no tctl'gcrcnt demonstration In that
statc over the election contest. The Electoral
yotc is NOW regarded rs settled for I}aycs by
both parties, but there are many Republicans
who are not entirely satisfied wlnt the real re-
suit on tho State ticket was. 1t Is certain that
thu Hampton memorial will receive full and fair
consideration. Its friends desire it, reference
to the Judiciary Committee rather than to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, because
the former is lcas pressed witll work than tic
1atter, and because they think, further, that 1t
woull receive somewhat caln,er consideration
from the law Committee Of the 8cnnte.
