NEW YoRx. Feb l3-The I'ri5afses
Washington special says the reason
the Democrats did not objec. 70 the
I.iuoi. elect0v was because that would
have preud,ced the Oregon case The
Democrats could lot well ask the Com
mission 10 refuse Watts vote on the
ground be dii no; resign his office IN
I'll after the election, If Congress had
counted the vote Of an Illinois man
who never resigned at all. They say
an additional motive was not to appear
to be raising technical objections, which
Would certainly he decided against
them. and which would appear to he
made for the purpose Of delaying the
progress Of the count.
Relative to Louisiana, the Tribunes
Washington special says: If the ques-
ton of evidence is denied against
them. as in all prot ability it will be,
Democratic counsel will have to resort
to a hopeless attack upon the legality OF
Kellogg's Government. Carpenter is
relied upon for heavy work at this
juncture. He is said to have prepared
himself with great care, and as he will
have the benefit OF his previous thor
ough examination Of the recent political
history Of Louisiana, he may be ex-
pected TO make brilliant effort.
Trumbul will also speak for the Dem
ocrats. On the Republican side,
Matthews and Stoughton will make
the principal argument, as in the
Florida case. The decision Of the
Louisiana controversy will no doubt
turn upon the question Of admitting
evidence. aud thus the preliminary
struggle will in reality be the main enc.
Republicans are confident the Com
mission will not depart from the plain
letter OF its own rulings. and they
therefore regard the case as virtually
settled in advance.
The Worlds Washington special says
Of Carr; That he commenced his career
tins session by publishing an abusive
letter Oh leading Democrats of the
House, and followed it with bis speech
arraigning the entire party in the
House for its vote on the electoral bill,
denouncing them as having sold out to
Republicans. and with having acted
trcacherously to the country. His re-
marks elected applause and approval
from the Republican side.
