Gov. Grover has been swept out OF sight

Fourteen candidates for United States Sen

There seems to be- an impression in Boston
that the Faneul Hall meeting las settled the whole

A striking proposition for the solution Of the
Presidential problem is made follows through

II ia a curious fact that the advocates of the
conference plap IN both parties are firmly convinced
that their man is going win. The Chicago Tribune Is
sure Mr. Hayes will be declared legally elected but ad-
pits that Mr. Tlden has just the shadow OF chance
which it states as follows: There is but one remote
and hardly possible contingency in which decision ad-
verse to the Republican candidates can be anticipated
II te evidence collected Senator sherman and his as
socaes all Republicans and their report and the report
and evidence OF the Republican members OF the senate
Committee and the report and evidence OF the RepnD
can members Of the House Committee and the letter
and spirit Of the Election law OF Louisiana and all the

Of th aw-f ali these shall fail satisfy the Justices Of
the Supreme Court shall st1l leave on the minds or
thes Justices the conviction that the action or thc he
tnrDipg BSayt Of Louisiana was fraudulent and dshon-
est and mat the legal and honest majority was for II
de-hon and in such only Will the declSlon OF inc
CT1r hs adverse 10 the Republican candidates. and IN
sncn r1sc The decision Will the hearty approval o
the American people, ana from 40 persons receive
mort earnest approval than from Gov. Hayes and MI
Whce er."
The advocates of the proposed electoral TIL
bunal reply to all arguments against it as dangerous
precedent by saying that it will he supplanted by IN
entirely new system before another election Is held
Har1er's Weekly takes this ground saying "The plan
suepested is a law which would hold until repealed by
Congress The objections 10 1t, so lar as they Involve
such questions as the authority Of the two houses over
the electoral vote and the participation Of the Judges in
the final decson would be fully considered in maturing
new electoral scheme Tie great and conclusive con

emergency-a point which was generally beIeVedtO De

The Democratic press Is slowly uniting IN
favor Of the Conference bill The reasons they give fo
are and instructive The main one Is that Is
good policy to favor any scheme which Senators Morton
and Sherman oppose. This profound argument has a.
rcconcied The Cincinnati Enquirer 10 the measure
for that pugnacOus journal dwcns with unctOn Oh IDe
attitude Of the Senators. and prints the following
Warrington dispatch without further cOurment What
really gives the bill strength with tie Democrats Is the
determined opposition Of Merton and Sherman to Its
passage Ii was at first thought that these two ilustrr
0us conspirsors opposed 1t with the view To give IL
strength This apprehension has been removed as they
only bitterly oppose it with al honest opposition
but moving heaven and earth to have II iau. B0th
would handicap with the most cOpiOus opposition dd
they apprehend that such course would sun tur-
tend 10 weaken Hayess They appreheDd that
the weight OF public opinion Is IN favor 0I the coinpIo
mise And although they have outraged nearly all the
oeeenees N The catalogue, they pause before hat great
tribunal the people The policy OF the Democrats in
supporting the measure should not DE construed az an III
deaIion tnat majority belonging 10 the parry bee.e
that the bill ought pass. They are CONFRONTED VIII
two dire contingencies FIRST that the Republican rad
e without such cOtnrrOmist, would IoIc1 noyt o
The Presidency and, second, that they dld Don 'ic
