The Weston Democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1875-current, 1878-06-01

tins Wheeling Register gives the
following as the sentiment Of Governor
Matthews upon the the subject Of the
Potter investigating committee:
"GuycrnOr Mathews believes that
the investigation should bc pursued,
III justice 10 both parIIr$. Al first he
did not believe that The proposed 10.
ye.tigatiOn would add anything to the
conviction of oil right thinking and
fur minded men that the returns of
Louisiana mud Florida we:c procured
by fraud, and, therefore thought when
the resolution Of investigation was first
spoken Of, that the tine Of Congress
could be more probably employed in
the consideration Of tho other lucns'
urcs. Still. pfter the Potter resolution
was introduced, had The Governor
been in Congress, he would have voted
with bis party. Hayes title cannot
be affected by this investigation. The
Democratic party will be strengthened
aud occupy 4 higher position tefOrc
tho country by acquiesciag as it does
In tho decision Of the Electoral Com
mission, based us that DECISION may be
unOn fraud"
