CHICAGO. Feb. 13.---At the Tele-
graphers' ball in this city. tonight,
the music was transmitted over the
wires. by means of Elisha Gray's
telephone, from Milwaukee with
great success. The wires were run
into the several newspaper offices
and caused great delight to those
who heard the music, to whom it

still adheres to the belief in the hol-
lOwneSS of the assertions of the
Democrats to-day, that they will

the tribunals decisions, but does

that the electoral law has been rem
dered abortive by the factious and
revolutionary acts of the House.

change the result, and said tney

voters had been disfranchised. SEN
ator Howe went upon the theory
that if plaintiffs agents commit a
robbery, defendants agents may
also commit a robbery. This was
not matter for Louisiana to settle
for herself, as the whole nation was
interested in the laws. He read
from the report previously quoted
and said: ''WOuld not Wheeler
