OF . successful plotter. HIS occult
plans and their relations to one another
surely amaze mankind. Only ten days
ago seven-eiRhths Of the D mocratic
members Of the House, when inter-
viewed, as did three.fourths of the
Senate, declared that this scheme of
Blair, involving the deposition OF
Hayes and substitution of Tildep,
could not be- tolerated But congress
sional elections are at baud, and TIL
den's agents have frightened aspiranis
for re election and they have gone
.madly into the Blair business. The
purpose Is to keep alive the claims Of
Tilden, to excite in his behalf popular
aud not suffer the iunocent
people to forget how they we're wrong
ID when Tilden was cheated. 10 fact,
1.-THE plot of this willy man may involve
his own reelection rather than Hsyes's
election from Office. No Congressman
a suffered to know what Tllden can
prove, and each is made to believe that
some terrible mares nest has been
sefed> BY which the Radical party
may be destroyed and Democracy made
potent. Therefore the change in opin
ion which congressman confess by
voting for the Blair resolution or its
substitute. But the couAtry will soon
discover that there is nothing new to
be told. Tho special committee APP

these processes which Blair Inaugu

Two-thirds Of the newspapers and peo-
