THE PRESIDENT,S TITLE.
he Potter Investigating Committee

MCCALL has as yet been issued for meeting
OF the Florida investigating committee and it
Is hardly probable that a meeting will be held
until tomorrow, at which time Representa-
tue Hiscock, a member of the committee.
now absent, is expected to return. Since the
passage of the resolution those who voted for
1t are beginning to hear from their constituents,
ana the investigation fever is not as high as it
was ten days ago.
THE SOUTHERN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
are daily IN receipt OF letters from their con-
StltuentS deprecating the reOpening of the
PRESIDENTIAL question, and which set forth that
me popular acceptatiOn of the movement in
that section is construed to mean an addition
al season of unrest for the country. the revival
OF sectional issues, and an agitation of a ques
tract the democrats 1t is evident that since
the passage OF the resolution there has been
quite revulSiOn of sentiment among the dem
ocratlc members, and it is quite doubtful the
matter was to do over again if the Potter resO-
luton would pass
IT, CARTER HARRIsoN's oMBsHELL.
Today, in the House, Carter Harrison, of
!lllnOlS, who voted rather reluctantly for the
Potter resolution, and who is among the num-
per who has heard from his constituency on
that subject, offered a resolution that the com
mittee inquire into any new evidence in the
matter of frauds in Oregon, and also reciting
that it was not the intention of the House to
some reason the republicans refrained from
voting, when Harrison withdrew the resolu-
tlon, saying he did not desire to 0bStruct the
business OF the House, as it was evident the
republicans did not intend to vote to make up
quorum. although there was evidently one in
the hall. Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia. then
offered a resolution, that the Investigating
committee be allowed toinveStigate frauds in
any state, providing they have sufficient reason
TO believe in the existence of frauds. MI.
Cox, of New York, moved 10 refer the same to
the Potter investigating committee. The re
pubilcanS voted solid against the reference,
and so did few democrats, but a ma jOrty of
the latter party voted to refer. 1t was lost,
however. by yeas 80 to nays ll5, and the reSO-
luton was adopted.
TIE DIFFERENCE
between the Harrison and Wilson resolutions
is that while the former discaimS any inten-
tlOn OF attacking the PRESIDENT title, the lat
ter says nothing about it. The republicans
refralned from voting either way on the first
resolution, because they believe the whole
movement does mean an attack Oh the PreSi-
dents title and they do not propose by their
vote to have it go TO the country that there
was no intent to aSSail the tenure of PreSi-
dent Hayes, when they believe the contrary
to be the fact.
Inc democratic members OF the Florida in
Vestlgatlng committee held a conference this
morning and agreed to have the first regular
meeting OF the committee tomorrow. Moth
ing was done except TO discuss the merits of
an army of applicants who want positions
under the committee.
