WASHINGTON.
The Democracy and the Presi
Dental Title.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-senator Cock.
relI, Of Missouri, at last nights meeting
Of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee, is reported as having
said, when the question Of the FloridI
investigation was under discussion, that
"there are not two Democrats in ten who
desire to get Tilden in the White House
What, then, will an investigation accom-.
plish? II an investigation Ia solemnly
ordered by the House Of Representatives,
It must be for an object more than the
mere fact Of making campaign capital.
Il must be for result, and that result
can only be, II the Florida fraud Is prov.
ed, the taking Of some steps TO get Hayes
out OF the White House. Now, II the
Democratic party enters into the matter
at all, it must be with purpose TO over
turn the results Of the fraud, il
fraud be established. II must, II
fraud is proved, vitiate that which
has been accomplished by It. and
the inevitable end would be movement
to disturb President Hayes in his seat"
BE next analyzed the effect Of such 4
movement in the way Of party capital.
he thought that II the investigation Is
entered into the Republicans will take
advantage OF such q proceeding 10 give
out that the Democratic party Is endeav.
oring TO disturb the peace OF the country,
to create revolution and 10 turn Hayes
out and put Tilden In; when the fact Is
that Tilden's own party DONE want him
in the White House. Again, he thought,
II an investigation was vigorously pressed
1t would solidify the factions in the Re
publican party and give cohesive strength
10 an organization that the drift Of events
Is fast disintegrating. He said that while
no sane man would deny that Hayes got
the votes OF Florida and Louisiana
through fraud, yet he subsequently, at
tained solid title TO The office through
a bill which was passed by Democratic
votes. .r..
TIE TARIFF Bull.
As soon as the Legislative Appropria.
ton Bill was disposed Of Wood moved
10 20 into Committee OF the Whole on
the Tariff Bill. He did not expect any
speech would be made TO day, "a when be
made his motion It was o'clock; but he
wanted to put his bill in line as having
precedence OF all Others 10 Committee Of
the Whole. Pending his motion, 0'Neill,
Of Pennsylvania, moved to adjourn, and
the latter motion was carried on 4 yea
and nay vote by 103 to 95. II was re.
garded us test Of the question, and an
examination Of the vote shows that the
tariff revision and anti.tariff revision
men divided Squsrely on the question.
Wood will press his bill next week, but q
majority OF the House can determine 10
all cases whether it shall be taken up or
not.
