WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Florida CON
fessons in full were published here and in
New York to-day. They will be presented in
tho House Monday. for reference, to the Judi
ciary Committee, with instructions TO investi-
gate and report as soon as possible.
Tho committee will after due inquiry, pre-
pare II report, setting forth In tho most care
ful and impressive manner the infamy Of tho
great steal. The chief object will be to
establish
HAYES roMPLTcITY
md connection with the fraud. 1t Is claimed
that it can be shown that McLin stipulated
with Noyes for tho judgeship to which he
was afterward nominated. n was not
as willing to enter into the stenl us Noyes
and Hay es' other bosom friends wanted him
be, so tho effect Of bribery was resoltod to.
He was promised n good office, and In fact
asked to name any place he preferred.
MCLin said that his health was bad. and
that he beloved the climate Of New Mexico
would improve 1t. He wanted a position OF
light work. aud named tho judgeship Noyes
succeeded in convincing McLtn that he
Noyes) had
AUTHORITY FROM HAYES
10 make any bargain calculated to aid Hayes.
Il is also claimed that Hayes hand can be
shown In other disreputable bargains Of tho
same character.
The Judiciary COMMITTEES will stick close to
Hayes In all their inquiries, and MS Proctor
Knott remarked, will cover the dc .facto
President
ALL OVER WITH INFAMy.
Upon these points the situation may be CON
sdered settled, but whether anything will be-
formulated beyond simple statement Of
fncts in the report, cannot. as yet, be coDjec-
tured.
1t is highly improbable that tho Supreme
Court will be allowed to review the case, be-
cause after tho performances Of It's Judges
upon tho Electoral Commission nobody has
any faith in the Supreme Court where politi-
cal questions are concerned
The National Democratic Committee will
meet on the twenty Of next month In
this city, and they will devote some attention
to the presidential fraud and tho evidence
being 80 rapidly brought To light concern
Ing IL.
The report Of the Judiciary Committee will
not be presented until after the meeting Of
the national committee, az the latter will no
doubt have some suggestions to make and
some advice to give.
Hayes and the members of his Cabinet pub
licly
AFFECT GREAT INDIFFERENCE
to these developments, but 1t Is we'll known
| In private circles that Mt least three members
Of tho Cabinet and Vice President Wheeler
| regard the situation as one of extreme peril
| to the administration.
Smiths nomination does not seem to be
received with much feeling Of any sort, either
OF assent or dissent. IT he should be actively
opposed by Eustis he would be defeated. but
his friends claim that Etistis will not oppose
him, and If this be true he may be confirmed
In conversation with mo Eustis has been nj
| together noD-committal, and | infer that he
Is waiting to hear from public opinion In New
Orleans before deciding upon the course he
will take.
Hutchison, who represented to Hayes that
Smith was connected with Howard's lottery
| has withdrawn that accusation publicly.
Old Wells, in Nh interview to-day, declares
| that he is perfectly satisfied with Hayes gen
sfhl pOHCy, ana Wltl never CONFESS, Dut nc
| says he Is not pleased with the nomination ol
Smith. / have reason to believe, however
that he is pleased with 1t, and that he Is pre-
tending to be dspleased, In order to throw the
| Democrats in the Senate off the track.
| They would be certain to vote en- masst
| against the confirmation of anybody whom
| Wells was known to prefer. and hence / be.
| lieve that his pretended opposition to Smith
| is strategy. BUELL..
