sIoN.-After protracted consideration
of the arguments of the counsel on the
question of admitting testimony relative
to the election in Florida, the electoral
commission has decided by vote of eight

electors and the management of the
elections is exclusively matter for the
State to control. TIE decision practi-

Hayes, and certainly justifes the ap-
prehension felt by the Democrats in
Washington that their only hope rests
in their success in sustaining the Tilden-
Grover conspiracy in Oregon 1t would
seem that the application of the same
principle to the Oregon case-to consid-
err evidence as to which certificate is in
accordance with the report of the lawful
canvassers-would result in the count.
