WILL OFFER CALLING FOR FULL AND FREE
INVESTIGATION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
WAsHINGTON May 12.-While the Democrats
have been busy IN the preparation of their Florida
resolutions the Republicans have not been idle
They have never been afraid Of a full and searching
inquiry into all the circumstances attending the
election of 1876 IN any and all Of the States, be-
cause they have believed that no frauds irregu-
larities committed in behalf of the Republicans
could be found that would not be thrown into the
deepest shade by Democratic frauds of very much
greater proportions and by cOnspracies to commit
fraud that were not successful What they have
objected to is an investigation that should be lin
tied in its scope, and which would enable the
Democrats to pick out or two transactions that
may possibly have been irregular and hold them mp
before the people during the coming political cam
paign as proof that President Hayes was elected by
fraud, while the greater Democratic frauds are
covered up.
Some of the leading Republican members of the
House have. therefore, during the past few days,
been engaged in the preparation OF a resolution
which covers the most important points OF the DEM
oeratc frauds of 1876, and the attempts of Demo
Gratis to secure electoral votes for Governor Tden
by bribery aud twill be offered by Mr.. Hale an
amendment to the Democratic resolution whenever
it is presented. Speaker Randall has agreed TO give
Mr. Hale the floor for that purpose and will see to
il that the Republicans have vote of the House Oh
their amendment This he considers as nothing

Speakers when that party was in the majority in the
