THE FRAUD HUNT.



NEW YORK, May 14-The herald says the
real purpose of the fraud resolution in Congress
is to reopen the Presidential question, and there
is no longer any doubt that it is instigated by
Mr.. TildeD.
The Times says the plan for BUSTING Mr.
Hayes from the Presidency, which was intend
ed by Tilden, Blair, Black and Field, has given
place to device for disinterring worthless de-
tails that were quietly buried early last year.
In truth, Potter's resolution seems to have
been framed for the sole purpose OF putting
Noyes and Sherman on trial and of preventing
a searching inquiry into all the circumstances
connected with the election, which alone could
render the work of the committee fair or de-
cent. At the best the Investigation must be a
folly and nuisance. Noyes and Sherman will
be arragned. The Democrats who played Til
denis game with dirty cards will escape un-
touched, The investigation then will be only
such in name. 1t will not embrace the very
frauds and wrongs which most deserve atten-
ton, and its verdict, virtually known already,
will carry no more weight than attaches to an
ordinary partisan decision.
The Tribune says the great Democratic fraud
gun which has been loading for month, fred
yesterday aud kicked badly.
The World compends Potter's resolution,
but says there Is no question here of reopening
the Presidential title, and the issue before the
country must not be clouded by confusing it
with reopening of the Presidential title.
The Sun says the resolution is the first step
toward sinEestigating the national fraud, and
calls upon all skulkers to be in their seats in
Congress today.
