Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-06-02

some democrats meuitute an at
tack on the Presidential title the
mass of the republican side have
clearly announced that they freely
consent to this design. Their own
act to-day shows far more revo-
lutionary intent than anything the
democrats have so far done.
The vote was very significant.
In the first place, of the Potter
committee, only one member, Mr..
Blackburn, voted against Mr.. Har-
rison's resolutions. All the.oth-
ers, except three absent, voted for
Mr.. Harrison, and consequently
voted that it is not now in the
power of Congress, nor is it the
purpose of this House, through
said investigation, to annul or at
tempt to annul the action Of the
Forty fourth Congress in settling
the Presidency.
Seventy-one democrats voted in
favor Of Mr.. Harrison's resolutions
and therefore against reopening the
Presidential question, and only
fifty voted against Mr.. Harrison
and presumably in favor of reopen
ing the Presidency, though Mr..
Mills, of Texas, who voted Nay"
to-day, was understood, the other
day, to stand with Mr.. Harrison.
Ofthe fifty who, by this record, APP
pear to favor an attack on the Pres
idential title, eleven democrats aud
tive republicans are from Northern
States, the remaining thirty-nine
are Southern men, and six are from
Kentucky, two from Tennessee, two
from Texas, two from Missouri,
three from Mississippi, one each
from West Virginia, Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana, three from
Arkansas, seven from Alabama
aad six from Georgia.
OF the seventy.one who voted with
Mr.. Harrison, and therefore against
reopening the Presidential title,
only ten are republicans. OF the
sixty-one democrats twenty-four
are Northern and thirty-seven
Southern men; of the Northern
men five are from New York, five
from Illinois, three from Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, the remainder
being scattering; of the Southern
men, there were four from each OF
the States of Tennessee, Virginia,
Maryland and Missouri, seven from
North Carolina, three from Texas,
one each from Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and West Virginia, two
from Kentucky. The House was
by no means full, only one member
flom Louisiana voting at all, ant
other delegations being thinly rep
| resented.
We have quoted the He, aid be-
cause it is known to he so fanati'
oally anti-Democratic. The &C
count, of the same tenor, of thu
New York San, is equally long
but we give only the conclusion, a
follows:
The accounts of the conference
held in Fosters room on Thursday
night last, at which an effort wa
made to save Hayes's title by abau
doning his friends, has drawn on
nearly as many denials as the frs
accounts ofthe Wormly conference
where an agreement was made tt
secure Hayes's title by abandoning
his friends. The Wormly confer
ence is now admitted, and will bt
proved. 1t will not be strange i
the same thing happens of the las
conference. 1t does appear, how
ever, that some men credited will
being present while Hayes wa
there were not in the room at thu
same time with Hayes.
1t will be seen, from tie forgo
ing extracts, that the Radica
journals of the Pacific Coast, from
the blatant Chronicle 10 the SWIVEL
ing Call, have mistaken their cue
and have been dealing out imbe
cile and provincial politics. Thu
fact is that the Republicans of thu
East are beginning to be ashamed
Of the Presidential fraud, and they
are now only anxious to end theil
d disastrous identity with it. They
will release themselves from the
guilt of being accessories after the
the fact if they wash their hands
outright of the Returning Board
President, and they seem sagac
iously bent on doing just thai
