A DEATH VAIL FROM THE REPrBLICANs
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Republican
Congressional Committee haS issued the
following address
To the Voters Of the United States;
The Democratic House OF Representatives
has to-day, bya party vote, adopted a rcso-
luton which, under the prctcnsc Of an in
vestigation. is to lay the foundation for a
revolutionary expulsion Of the president
from his office. This is the elimination of

Hayes and Wheeler were constiutionaly
declared elected. II made its first public
appearance in resolution Of the last
Democratic House adopted at the close Of
the session, declaring that Tildcn and Hen
drickS were elected. Tilden and Hendricks
subsequently, made similar public declara-
