THE GRAND COMMISSION.

~ NNNt
Used Tomorrow Democrats Hope
for the Throwing oar Of the Vote.
The stunning effect OF the party d.
vision OF the commission on the main
question yesterday Is somewhat dissl-
pated this morniDg, The Union, the
Democratic organ, claims that in all
essential particulars the question is
before the commission In the shape In
dlcated and desired by Mr. O'Conor In
his opening statement.
Chief Justice Waite, Of the supreme
court, is quoted as having said yester.
day the electoral commission proceed
lngs are merely preliminary, and form
no indications Of the issue
Dan Voorhees, IL quoted AZ saying
that the Democrats had only received
a black eye; nothing serious.
The commission convened In open
session. Justice Clifford announced
the proceedings now in order under
the orders adopted yesterday. MIR.
Green, counsel for the Democrats,
called George Roe, Of Florida, who was
sworn. Question-Were you present
when the writ Of quo iodrrdllt0 was
served? Mr.. Evarts objected to the
question as not within the order The
court sustained the objection TO the
question.
Mr.. Green then presented the certiii-
cat from the clerk Of the court, that
no resignation of Humphreys, the al
legged ineligible Republican elector,
was filed up to January "A, 1877. Mr..
Green then said that II was all the
Affirmative evidence that they pro-
posed to offer.
Mr.. Humphrey was then sworn, aud
produced Judge Woods letter, accept.
ing his resignation. Another letter was
read, dated October 8, 1876, from the
collector, requesting witness to turn
over the books and papers In his
Office.
Mr.. Merrick, for the Democrats, OBJ
jected to the last paper.
Judge Clifford then announced the
case ready for argument, allowing two
hours for each side. Argument was
commenced by Judge Hoadley.
Later.
The argument In the Florida case Is
closed. Each side spent three hours
in argument, which was very close
and heated. The commission will take
the case into private consideration
early tomorrow morning, and 1t is ex'
pected will reach result during the
day.
The Democrats have little hope fol
anything more favorable to them than
the throwing out Of the vote.
The contest In the Louisiana cast
will be over the legality Of the Return
ing Board itself. 1t will be claimed
that there has been no canvass OF the
vote and that no electors cave beer
appointed.
The same excellent authority which
furnishes these rather discouraginl
foreshadows, expresses absolute conf
dence that the commission has inau
gurated a line of procedure that mus
throw out the vote Of Watts, the Ore
gOn postmaster.
