60 DAYS MORE OF HAYES
THEN TILDEN THE PRESIDENI
ELECT rs TO COME IN.
All This is to Happen If Montgomery
Blair Carries Out His Programme--He
is Pushing His Maryland Resolutions
The Old Man Tells His Programme.

the Maryland Legislature over the question of |
the electoral fraud, has returned from the
councils of his State with his sharp chinned, |
long-cheeked face flushed with victory, and has
now taken up his headquarters at his residence
in this city His house is an old-fashioned
square-front imitation stone one, built in an
area, which marks it as one of the mansions of
Washington. 1t faces south Pennsylvania
avenue, directly opposite the executive man
sion, where sits the subject of the old mans
agitations. Tonight, sealed in twelve by
fourteen study, one side of his double
house, was found
THE OcToGENARIAN POLITICIAN,
wrinkled and gray, with his small, cold gray
eye almost hid behind a pair of lids that hung
loosely in their deep sockets Mr.. Blair had been
upon the floor of the House this afternoon
| actively canvassing with first one and then an
other of the members, and from his quick ges-
lures and Horid countenance it was suspected
that the old man had transplanted his bat
terles from the Maryland Legislature to the
balls of Congress. A representative of the
Times called on him tonight, and found him
as above described, seated at his old-fashioned
desk. He was quite free in his speech. He
said that he had spent good deal of time.
ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE
to-day. He was there for the purpose of talk
ing about the fraudulent President, and to find
out how the members felt about his resolution,
which passed the Maryland Legislature. He
was glad to find that they universally approved
it, and seem favorable to the proposition to
move His resolution, it will be remem-
bered, directed the attorney general of Mary
land to appeal to Congress for law that will
| allow the State to have judicial hearing of
her rights. and to know why she was not given
the benefit of her electoral votes, etc. He said
IN n ho p}oI 70,
| the House, by the clerk of
THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE,
and that bill is already prepared giving the
State the desired relief. This bill is now in
possession of certain members of Congress,
| whose names he declined to give and will be
| introduced into the House at an early day. All
this was gushed out with facile wag of the
| tongue that none but fanatic could have
equaled. He was asked what relief could such
a bill give him OF Tilden, and he said, "Indi-
vidually want no relief. My cause is the
| common cause of forty-eight millions of peo-
pie.

ever, that the people of this great country are

! yer, OT any OUuer uuanClal cause, OUT from an

them. am not fighting for Tilden to put him
in Office. l don't care any more for him per-
sonally than do for Hayes. Hayes treats me
we'll enough, but what do want is that
| THE PEOPLES WILL
shall be asserted Then, rising from his chair
and running his bony fingers through his hair,
the old politician colored up until his sallow
hue was gone, as he said, why, sir, if such a
condition of things existed in England revo-
luton would ensue Don't you know that?
Doesn't every man know that? Why should
| we allow this to go on? It is killing the bust
ness of this country and making men
| people are too much like the man with a
thorn in his foot-afraid to pull it out because
| it might hurt. They are afraid to act because
| it might make trouble, but
THERE WILL BE NO TROUBLE.
Everybody will vote for the bill to carry out
my resolution; the Democrats because they
will get their man, and the Republicans be-
cause they have got enough Of Hayes. And
why should not everybody vote for it? What
has Hayes done besides getting up a little code
of civil service reform, which does not amount
to row Of pins?" His idea Of what the bill
is to do is very clear, in his own view. It is to
be simple authority for judicial hearing of
the question to allow the supreme court to lay
aside all other business and give the States
attorneys every facility for prosecuting their
case. Then
/ HE EXPECTS BUT ONE RESULT,
Tilden to be declared President and Hays a
fraud. Nobody will recognize Hayes, the two
houses being Democratic, and nobody will op-
pose Tilden, because everybody knows he is
elected. He fred away in this helter-skelter
rate, asking and answering his own questions
to his hearts content, until the Times
representative got up and staggered to the
door. MIR. Blair followed up this
retreat however, with lively movement
Of his forefnger and rattling tongue.
He said that there were some Demo
Gratis opposed to his scheme to unseat his fraud
ulency, Hayes, but what of it? They were
only men who had no statesmanlike ideas, but
}, were willing to let things run smoothly along
and hang around the White House, while Hayes
feeds them on petty appointments. Then
drew up his head and said: 81, sir am a prac-
tical man. am capable of seeing things in
| their proper light, and I know we can and
ought to rid the people of this glaring out
rage"
Washington Special april q Chicago Tribune
Montgomery Blair, in an interview tonight
expresses confidence that Tilden will be seated
in the White House in sixty days. He says
that from a conversation to-day with Repre-
sentatives he is confident that his bill will pass
by more than two-thirds vote. The bill ha.
been drafted by David Dudley Field

issues of fact, the jury to be drawn from

bill was outlined in these dispatches last DC
tober. Blair lays great importance upon tn,
fact that in the law creating the electoral com

. might take an appeal from the final result. a,

, asked if such a movement would not NEE
with opposition on the ground that it would
disturb the country, Blair replied that
THE PEOPLE WERE FOR IT;
that letters which he constantly received show
ed this; that there would be no disturbance O.
the peace; that the bill would pass smooth,

courts will act and in sixty days after tn
