Mr.. Hewitt of New York made speech
in the House the other day sharply criti-
cising and censuring the civil service poll
cy OF the administration, but right in the
middle VI it he made the very significant
declaration that the title of President
Hayes to his Office is perfect and unassail-
able. If there had been any fraud in con-
neetion with the election, Mr.. Hewitt said
that that was a matter with which the
President had nothing to do, and. after the
action OF the Electoral Commission and
the adoption of its findings by Congress,
the Presidents title was as good as that OF
any preceding President. This declara-
tion from Mr. Hewitt commanded the
closest attention both of republicans and
democrats and the fact that II came in
the midst of his attack upon the President
and from the Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee during the cam
paign of 1876, a. well as the close friend
Of Mr.. Tilden throughout the election and
and its subsequent events, gave it signii-
canoe which was recognized by all.

ton of his colleague that. Mr. Hayes title is iu-

two wings OF the democracy have thus spoken,
