Electoral Commission was, by the
partisan bias Of its members. The
overwhelming evidence row at hand
that Florida's four votes belonged
to Tilden, makes investigation a
duty, but, as far as possible, that
Investigation should be non-partizan.
It should be Judicial. The highest

more necessary and proper for the
reason that the Electoral bill itself
