LET US HAVE 1T.

Now that Mr.. Clarkson n. Potter has
allowed himself to be made a cats paw
of by the fraud shriekers of the Blair
and Cox school, and has been cajoled
into presenting before Congress the long
talked of resolution of inquiry into Re-
publican Presidential frauds, in the
name of common decency, let the inves-
tgation be thorough on both sides
Republican and Democratic alike, and
let us have an inquiry that shall go
down to the uttermost depths of the
political iniquities of the times, and see
who will first cry Hold. Enoughw
A party whose whole history is reeking
with wrong doing and fraud is the last
organization that can afford to take
upon itself an Office which the Demo
cratic party has now assumed, and if
its Investigations can bring fear to the
hearts Of the Republicans, it will GER
tainly be strange if it does not also
lead to the development Of tale of
fraud and corruption on the part Of the
Democrats, that shall tinge with blush
of shame even the cheeks of those now
SO Justify shrieking " fraud" This
whole investigation business has been
opposed by Republicans in Congress,
not from fear of the result of it, but
from motives of public policy alone, as
being calculated simply to disturb pub
lie confidence, to aid in depressing the
business and the industries of the coun-
try, without any corresponding good
growing out of it. But the fraud
shriekers of the Blair and Cox school
have forced it upon the country against
every rule of right, Justice and common
sense, and now it becomes the duty of
the Republican leaders to push the
matter home, to force an inquiry and an
investigation that shall lay bare the
whole truth, and that shall show to the
world what wide margin of difference
exists between Democratic professions
and Democratic practices Then let
the leading men of the Republican
party see to it that this investigation
goes down to the very bottom of the
Presidential controversy, even into the
palatial parlors of Gramercy Park, and
the bank accounts Of the sage who in
habits the historic mansion that they
adorn Let us see who shall be the
first to cry pECCAvIi
