vestigatIon.
The Commission was called to order
y Judge Clifford, the presiding judge
After few remarks by the presiding
justice, rs to the order of procedure to
be observed, to the effect that in his
view II would be in order for the DEM
ocratic counsel to present in brief the
reason why the Hayes and Wheeler
electoral certificate should not be re-
ceived, and that the Republican coun-
sci might follow with the reasons why
the Tilden and Hendricks certificate
ought not to be received.
MIR. O'COnnor, of the Democratic
counsel, arose and proceeded to address
the Commission. He said he would
address himself to what seemed most
pertinent in the Florida case, and
would offer proof why the first certfi-
cate of the Hayes and Wheeler elect
ors should not be counted.
He said that on December 9th last
the electors for Hayes and Wheeler
and for Tilden and Hendricks met and
cast their votes and transmitted the
returns to the seat of government,
both sets of electors complying with
the requirements of law. A writ OF
que warranto was served on the
HAYES electors on that day, before
thew canyassed the votes, which
eyentuated in a judgment against
them and in favor OF the Tilden and
Hendricks electors, on the 9th OF
January, 1877. He then reviewed the
action OF the courts of Florida and the
LEGISLATURE ordering re-canvass OF
the votes, and said the cam
wasting board, without warrant, threw
out the whole of the returns
of Monatee county, and part of the re-
turn from Hamilton, Jackson and
Monroe counties. In conclusion, he
referred to the ineligibility of Hum
phreys, one of the Hayes electors who
WAS A United States shipping commits
sioner.
Mr.. Evarts. for the counsel for the
Hayes and Wheeler electors, said that
if the order Of procedure suggested by
the presiding justice should be fol-
lowed, It was the first intimation the
counsel on his side had Of 1t, and that
they would not be prepared to go Oh
to-day.

marks we're In the nature OF a sugges
