mingling with people seems to have had

not best to continue tho war upon the Presi-

official connection with tho Republican Ma

capacity of an investigator sent by them to
look into the conduct of the counting of the

duty of Congress to inquire whether any
unjust or illegal measures have been resorted
to for the purpose of frnudulently presenting
to it certificates upon which its action was
based in deciding the election Of q President
Of the United States. The resolution is said
by some to havo been already drawn up hero

F. Butler has been solccted 70 offer the resoe

would be tho best chairman for an
investigating committee. There is no
doubt that special efforts are mak-
ing to prepare tho country for tho proposed
investigation. Mr.. Chandler's letters have
been collected in broadside and are to be
circulated by thousands, and tho usual means
will be used to excite tho public mind on the

Grave constitutional questions will be brought
into tho discussion and investigation with the

of those Democrats who do not accept tho
