FEBRUARY.
/. P-Democrats believe the commission
will give Florida to Tilden.
| z, D-Welle' demeanor is that of q
thoroughly dePpairing man, who does mot
care what the future may have in store for
| him.
8 T-Republicans fear Wells intends to
speak out. The Democratic case is abso-
lutely solid. D--YOu may set Packard
down as dead as door nail. The tribunal
VIII probably examine fully into all the
| questions that affect the case of Florida,
and take evidence thereon.
4. D-Wells has not yet determined what
course he will take. The indications are
the commission will decide by ten to five
that it has the right to consider any action
the state has taken, and probably hold it 10
/ proper to 60 behind the certificates suffi-
GENTLY to find whom the people said should
receive certificates.
.. P-The Florida decision will be in fs-
| vor Of T1den. D-The commission will
deny the power of returning boards to
| throw out votes.
Z. A-Justice Clifford ate heartily, and

bic omen for Tilden. p-DAraocrAts hone
for righteous decision. The commission
| will admit all evidence and stand 9 to 6.

Democrats will vote with him.
| A-Mr. O'COnOr has the question
where he wants it. P-The ablest Demo.
| Gratis regard Louisiana as their citadel.
T-Hewitt says he did hope it might be pos
sible to make up q commission Of men who
would rise above party.
9. P-The best judges now say the eight
Radicals on the bench will give partisan
decision. THE Florida ruling will not
govern in other cases. D-AltOgether the
outlook is Frightening. There is no reason
to be alarmed over the Florida decision.
10. T-There are indications an attempt
will be made to titibuster to March A. D.
If the decision in Louisiana is as partisan
as in Florida, Judges Field and Clifford
will Immediately resign and the Eve Demo
crate refuse TO take part. R-The Demo.
Gratis will not submit to the tribunal.
IL. D-The Republicans promise, to pre-
vent flibusteriHg, that Nichols and Hamp-
ton shall be recognized by Hayes.
IL. THE President will take some final
action as soon as the Louisiana vote is de-
cided.
IS. P-Tbe issue is still uncertain.
ia negotiation is in progress here re-
garding the State government of Louisiana.
The Republicans want the long term Sena-
tor. D-There are now four distinct COM
binations Of Democrats negotiating with
Hayes.
IA. P-The commission will adept diff.
ferent rule as to Louisiana. R-The deei-
sion will be in favor of Hayes
Is. The opinion is the commission will
admit evidence. The President will take
no action. Dion Weldonl-A dispatch
was received from Governor Nichols ex-
planning how the whole thing was put up.
l6. Louisiana 81. THE personal dis
position is that the House will have to
stand it.
II. A-The Democratic caucus resolved
to proceed with the count. Nothing will be
done in Louisiana in haste. P-Hsyes will
repudlate the oRrpetbaggers. The Presi-
dent will not iterfere unless there is an out
breaF. Dit is very doubtful if the policy
| of delay can command the full Democratic
strength of the House. If the Senate re-
port gives the President fair pretext to
recognize Nichols he will do 80.
Is A-The peace viii be enforced. En-
forced is the word. D-Packard will not
be recognized by the President in any
Z event.
10. P-Many Democrats favor resistance
by dilatory motions. COnkling means mis-
chief to the new dynasty. Nothing should
be done in Louisiana to irritate the Pres
} ident THE President will not decide
between Nichols and Packard, nor inter
iere if peace is maintained. D-Be patient
q little while longer.
20. P-The Returning Board fraud was
contaminated to-day. The President has
no idea of recognizing either government.
1t is Hayes purpose either to recognize
both Nichols and Hampton or allow the
people of Louisiana and South Carolina to
> adjust their State governments for them
selves. T-NOthing will be done by the
} President.
