WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON,
January Is.
With judicial powers and the evil
dence before them the tribunal would
pass upon the returns from the con-
tested States, and those Democrats
who hope the best from the measure
hold that there would be no such de-
clslons as came from the hands of
the three State Boards. But even
more suggestive than this, tits urged
that the recent developments in
Florida showing Tilden's lawful ma
jority, as we'll as the reports from
Louisiana, will furnish Il case for the
tribunal which it dare not treat in a
one sided way, no matter how bitter
the partisans or how much in ma
jorlty. 1t IS q singular feature of
the situation that those Democrats
who are presumed to stand most
nearly to Tilden are jealous in sup
port Of the bill and sanguine of its
perfect adaptabillty to the purpose
Of assuring the lawfully elected can
didates their positions. AS a matter
of ia t, these people argue, the pres
ent condition of the electoral difficult
ty absolutely compels the creation Of
this extra-constitutional method Of
adjusting complications since there
is such a snarl as the makers Of the
/ Constitution never dreamed Of
Florida will not unlikely have three
sets of electoral votes-tirst, those
certified by Stearns; second, those
certified by Drew and one member o
the Returning Board;. and third
