WASHINGTON, Feb. u.
Hewitt, in his denunciation OF HOar
to-day. accused him of reversing the
old process and piecing out a fox's
skin with a lions hide. He ci ed the
voIes of Hoar in the Commission,
showing that he uniformly voted
against the admission of evidence 10
show fraud on the part of the LpuiSi-
ana Returning Board. Hoar voted in
the Louisiana case that the Commits.
sion had no judicial power; and in the
Oregon case he voted 10 lake evidence.
HOar had always been the cham.
pion of Justice and ri. hteou ness; his
magnificent peroration in the Belknap
ease would long be read by the Amer.
lean youth, yet he voted not to receive
evidence on fraud. Hewitt's appeal
for adherence to the provisions oI The
Electoral bill was powerful, and rather
plaintive, but ut the am time a an
aggressive piece of oratory and was
heartily a%pplauied.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81.
Argument will commence at 10

side. No more time than j. absolutely

acted on is thai the Republican object
ors shall waive argument and permit
counsel to go on with whatever argu-
meni may he neces sary. The rule, of the
Commission as originally adnpted per.
mitted ei.ht hours of argument on the
South Carolina case. 1t will be iunpOs-
sihIe if the whole OF tins time is on
