Thc ;alk here aow is about Chandler's
letter; and II IL asserted that An effort
will certainly be made, shortly after
Congress reassembles, to have the
charges so broadly made by him inves.
ligaled. OF course, those " no are pro.

the other hand II is said that q resolu.

that The Electoral Commission
was determined TO count in Hayes,
The Southern Democrats were d.
