The New York Times says: This
whole business of investigation is the
work of handful of men, and indi-
yidually unimportant,b but able to so use
the machinery of the caucus as to COM
NIT the party in spite of the judgment
of a majority of its members. The
moment contest assumes the form of
an attempt to reopen the Presidential
question and to plunge the country into
anarchy, public feeling will manifest
itself in IL way not pleasant to the
knaves who now shout fraud,
The New York Herald says: No in
telligent man Of either political party
can longer doubt this whole batch of
incendiary attempts. instigated by Til
den. He never did anything more
characteristic of his ''still hunt'
method. He is an astute and secretive
plotter, who mistakes cunning for wis
dom. Neither his aim nor his methods
will be endorsed by the public senti-
ment of the country, and if the Demo-
cratic party sets itself in array against
the title of President who has been
regularly inaugurated, and has COM
pleted nearly half of his term, the
party will exhibit a truly remarkable
example of political suicide. This
great blunder of the Democrats, Re-
publicans are prompt to seize upon, to
their own advantage, as will be seen
by the Republican address which is
issued on the heels of the passage of
the Democratic resolution against the
cry of fraud. They raise the cry of
revolution and they will unite the
whole north once more in their sup
port.
The New York Tribune says: The
movement is revolutionary. The Dem
ocratic resolution is not only indecent
and knavish, but it is an attempt to
get up a new rebellion against lawful
authority. In either aspect it could be
resisted as matter of right. In the
latter it was duty to resist until revolu-
tionary intent is wholly defeated. Re-
publicans ought to treat all compro-
misses and adjustments that may be
proposed precisely as ''peace at any
price" Copperheads were treated when
the first rebellion began.
The New York World claims that
''all that Potter's resolution aims to
accomplish is to carry out q measure
which Republican committee Of Con-
gress, in 1869, pronounced to be of the
highest Importance.
The New York Sun has no editorial
but prints a figurehead with the word
fraud" on forehead, with the follow
ing title: 1.-THE portrait as delineated
by Mr.. .Cfms. F. Adams, Of the man
who yesterday saw asection of the day
or judgment. A person who must for
ever carry upon his brow the stamp of
the fraud first triumphant in American
history. No subsequent action can
wash away the letters of that record
