The Atlanta {Georgia) Consultation does
not see how the democrats in congress
can avoid instituiing AN investigation in
the Florida frauds. "A failure to do
this viii put the party in pretty plight
before the country" says that paper.
Should an investigation be made it
would show to the world that America
is wofully degenerate and thoroughly
corrupt in politics, for there is little
doubt of the invalidity of Hayes title,
and the party prestige would not be
equal to the damage the odium would
bring upon the nation at large Better
let the matter rest as it is. The Consti>
futon argument. however from party
standpoint. is good These Florida
frauds could be made the chief plank of
accusation against the republican party
in all the democratic platforms of the
future, No count of any Indictment

atrocious than this. 1t is overwhelming
enough TO sink the most powerful adj.

its honesty or contrite its policy.
