| the commission, IL is hardly within the pro-
vince ofthe presiding justice to settle that.
Mr.. Evarts-We understand then, IL the
commission please, that the designation OF
two counsel VIII be sufficiently early made
Senator Edmunds-That is merely for final
| argument.
The Presiding Justice-After the objections
| have opened the case.
Mr.. Evarts-So we understand.
Justice Bradley-I suggest to Mr.. Evarts that
probably the construction Of that would be
| tion would be included in that term and all
| 1nterlocutory or other motions would not be
Senator Edmunds-"It covers the whole
subject OF particular state. lHI
Senator Sargent-"In reply to the question
jecttions would present a case aside from
counsel no the conference 1t is determined
that Mr.. Cary and Mr. Kasson will appear. q
Senator Edmunds-I move that the public
sitting of the commission be now adjourned
until 10 80 in the morning, unless the counsel
or directors have something further to say at
Representative Garfield-I think there was
| an objection filed, regarding which no action
has been taken-an objection, | be-
| heard the president of the commission
! make no allusion to it. 1 inquire
whether there is any special hearing to be had
| on that objection. / think it was different
from other objections which have been filed.
l refer TO IL because 1t makes distinct
case and is different objection in
its character from either of the other
two that have been referred to.
Presiding Justice-My impression is, though
do not make the decision in behalf of the
commissioner, that The several objections to
the returns from a state constitute one case
and that two objections will be heard upon
one side and two on the other and after they
shall have been heard two counsels will be
heard upon one side and two upon the other,
unless otherwise advised by the commissioner
| that Will be the ruling.
Representative Field.-Will you allow me to
say that perhaps there may be some misun-
der Qrrni nU m rd n
| state TO you precisely the facts.
| The presiding justice-Proceed, sir,
Representative Field-There are objections
TO the votes of Florida on each side; that is to
say, we object TO the four votes mentioned in
| the first returns
Mr. Edmunds-Which are they?
Representative Field-They are, If may
use the names of the candidates, the Hayes
electors. We object on our part to those votes,
| certificates and lists
General Edmunds-And the other gentle
men object to the others.
Representative Field-Mr Sargent, Mr.. Kas-
son and the gentlemen on the other side
| specifically object to ours. Then there is an
| additional objection made by General Jones,
| of Florida, and the others TO one Of the Hayes
| electors as ineligible under the constitution
that is distinct matter and we supposed 1t
would be taken up quite distinctly. 1t is a
minor affair and should not cucumber the
| principal one, and If the commissioners will
| allow us, we will designate directors
| Mr.. Thompson and MIR. jerks. sup
pose the discussion of that matterl Twill
| events, as the matter of form, If you will al
| low u.s. we will suggest that Mr.. Thompson
and Mr., jerks be the objections, and as TO the
counsel we will advise tonight and inform
| the commission tomorrow who will repre-
| sent us.
Presiding Justice-When you are advised
| what you desire you will submit a motion to
| the commissioners, and / will have il de-
| termined. At present 1 am not pared to
rule otherwise than have. If there be no
| further suggestions TO be presented Will put
i the question to the commissioner. That when
| this commission adjourns il adjourt TO meet
/ at 1880 o'clock tomorrow morning.
| Senator Edmunds-I Will move, so that we
wish to prepare their matters Tyr the commits
sion, that the public sitting of the commission
| be now adjourned until 10: 30 tomorrow morn
| ing.
| Senator Thurman-But is the commission to
| continue in session to-day?
| Senator Edmunds-Yes; for consultation.
| Presiding justice-Under the circumstances
| i VIII put the motion, with the consent OF the
| mover, that when the commission adiourns il
adjourn until tomorrow at 1850 a. IN. The
| motion was agreed to-
| Presiding justice--I will notify all who are
| present that there will be no more public bus
| iness transacted by the commission to-day.
| Senator Frelinghuysen-I was about to sug-
| gest that IL would be well to understand from
! the directors and counsel whether they will
| be prepared to go on tomorrow morning.
| Represen tative Field-On our part we are
/ prepared to go on at any moment. We are
| prepared to go on now If you wish.
| Presiding Justice-The gentlemen present
| may understand that there will be no further
| public business transacted by the commission
| to-day. The commission will remain for pri-
| vate consultation. The room having been
i cleared, the commission remained for consul
