FEELING REGARDING THE FLop,n,
DECISION.
New Orleans, Feb. Eff ~;
House stands upon IT'S rights unde;
the electoral bill, tho case of Louis'
lana cannot be reached by the TRIM
nal before Wednesday. 1t is under
stood that Carpenter will uccupy tho
cutirc time allowed to counsel for tho
Democratic side in presenting the
Louisiana case to the tribunal. 4
prominent Ohio Republican, ami
member of Congress. told me hs
knew positively, and of his own
knowledge, that the tribunal womb
decide by the same Old vote, of 8 ii
7, not to consider any Testimony il
tie Louisiana case except that sub.
mitted by the President of the Sen.
ate, which consists simply of twd
NAKED sets of certificates. He said
they had some difficulty in getting
George II. Hoar to agree to this pro:
gramme, but he was all right, and il
would DO pushed through. If the in.
formation prove true Judges Clifford
and Field will Immediately resign
from the commission. Five Demo.
Gratis will refuse to take any further
part in the action Of the tribunal. It
is believed Carpenter will so present
the record as to compel Judge Brad
ley, Senator Edmnnds and Represent
alive Hoar to either admit testimony
or squavly stu|tify their record on
the subject of Louisiana during the
asst four years. Carpenter says he
can do this. Tremendous party pres.
snre is being brought to bear on
Bradley, Edmnnds and Hoar to To-.
dncc them to preserve the party vote
of 3 to I on the question of admitting
evidence in the Louisiana case. It
is understood Miller has yielded to
party pressure and will vote to reject
all evidence, provided the other three
mentioned can be brought into the
traces. 1t may be stated without re.
serve that if the tribunal takes the
same ultra partisan course on Louis:
lana which it took regarding Florida
the result will not be accepted by the
House and there is no telling what
consequences may ehsue. Several
large loopholes have been discovered
in the electoral bill which will soon
become apparent if the tribunal tries
to shove the Louisiana returning
board down our threats.
THE ALLEGED DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM.
Washington, Feb. 10.-The Democrats;
if Judge Bradley to the end votes with
the Republicans, will so fix it that L. B.
Hayes can never be President. They
hold the whip-halld, and mean to use it;
The Electoral Bill provides that objec.
tons can be made to the vote of any
State, and the Honscs shall separate, and
two hours debate be allowed but it also
provides that either House may takes
recess to the following day at 10 o'clock
but no longer. If Louisiana is given to
Hayes in spite of all the damning frauds
surrounding it, the evidence will be suhi.
Gent that the Tribunal has no judicial
bnt only partisan rulings to make. Lou:
isiana is the fourteenth state, and there
will be twenty-four States to count after
it shall have been decided. 1t will take
a week at least for the Tribunals judg'
ment upon it. If the State is sent to
the Tribunal tomorrow, and the argu:
ments begin on Monday. it will be Fri!
day, the 10th, probably, before lbe deci-
sion il reached. If it IS untayorable to
| Tildell, the way is Opan to get at leasts
new election and in this wise: From
the 10th of February to the 4th of March
is seventeen days, within that time
twenty-tour States must be counted. It
is within the power of the House, undei
the Electoral Bill, to take a recess each
day until the succeeding day, aud then
have two hours for debate additional.
Objection can bc interposed to each State
and seventeen days can thus be cxlisat
ted, with seven States remaining uncoan'
ted on the 4th of March. Under the
Constitution, if there is on election, BY
the 4th of March, the President of the
Senate becomes tho President: ana under
the act 1892 the Secretary OF States
ISSUES his proclamation for new election
OF course, until the following DecembeF
the Republicans would have the Admin
istration but Til.len would then have
the opportunity to appeal to the people
for his rights. In thus objecting tn
Democrats, ofcourse, to gain the necee'
sary time, would have to object even "
States that voted tor their candidate
These could, however, be withdrawn y
the days delay had been accomplished
