cratic vote
The case of Bisbee against Hull has been repeat
eddy explained, but repetition cannot occur too
often for the people of the country ought to under
stand what sort of record this Congress is making
for itself at the start.
The only disputed counties in the lid District OF
Florida at the last election were Brevard
and Madison. In the former OF these
frauds of the most outrageous character
were committed in Hulrs interest. These
have since been proved. and the guilty of them
have been convicted and sent to the penitentlary.
In Madison County there was formal irregularity,
which did not affect the vote the ascerament Of
it. When the Democratic Board of State Canvassers
came to count the votes they very strangely ignored
the frauds in Brevard County and counted its vote
but they threw out Madison County The effect
of this WAS to give Hull a majority of
-, although Bisbee had a majority on
the face of the returns even although Hull
was allowed the advantage of the Breyard
County frauds. As soon as the canvass was COM
pleted Governor Drew FASTENED to issue certih-
cate to Hull. Then Bisbee appealed to the Supreme
Court of the State. Just the Democrats had done
in 1876, and that Court, following the precedent
which 1t had set two years ago, ordered the
Board of State Canvassers to recount the votes
When this was done, Brevard County was thrown
out and Madison was counted, and Bis5ee was re-
turned elected. Then Bisbee applied to the Gov
ernor for the certificate to which he was
entitled, but Governor Drew fraudulently refused
to issue it. The Supreme Court Of the State
was unanimously of the opinion that 1t was the
Governors duty to issue the paper, but two of the
Judges believed that the Court had no power 10
compel him TO do So and that II had The
Democratic Acknowledgement of the State also
wrote an opinion that Governor Drew ought TO give
Bisbee a certificate, but he persisted Ill his re-
fuSa
Official evidence of all these facts filed with
the Clerk of the House and by him laid before the
House, but the Democrats, reversing tho ground
they took two years ago, declared that hull
must be seated his pIma facic certificate, not
withstandng the fact that the Supreme Court OF
the State of Florida had declared the certificate
void.
After the Republicans found that there was no
prospect of seating Bisbee to-day, Mr.. Frye. who
managed the case and presented ii to the House
with remarkable force and directness, moved
to refer the case to the Committee on Elec-
tons and TO await a report from that committee
before either of the claimants should be allowed
to take his scat. This was lost by majority of
votes, all of the Greenbackers, except Laid,
of Maine (who is in reality a Democratl, voting
with the Republicans. The vote on seating Hull
stood 40 in the Affirmative to 1856 in the negative;
Stevenson, Of Illinois, who had just previously
voted with the Republicans, lodging on the final
vote.

nor Tilden's addressed to Mayor Wickham, setting
forth the right Of accused officials 10 be fully heard
This seemed TO provoke Mr.. Cooper, and he promptly
declined TO hear the paper. Corporation Counsel
Whitney who acted as the Mayors adviser, said it
would do no harm TO read the letter. At this Mr..
Bartlett wanted to know for whom Mr.. Whitney
appeared, when q general laugh went round the
room. The case of Mr.. Nichols was then declared
closed.
The Mayor had large number of written ques-
t0ns arranged for each commissioner, and he next
proceeded with Mr.. Erhardts case. By advice OF
his counsel Mr.. Erhardt declined 10 answer any
questions unless the Mayor furnished specifications
and the evidence on which he based his charges.
THIS the Mayor declnef to do, and Mr.. Erhardt
and his counsel arose. put on their bats, and Mr..
Erhardt said he protested against the course the
Mayor was taking, and he then cut the case short
by starting for the door, unmindful of the numer-
Gus questions which Mayor Cooper continued to
read.
This closed one of the most remarkable scenes in
the history of the MayoraIty. All the commissions
crs will probably file further protests with tho
Mayor to-day, and when the matter comes up be-
fore the Governor they will insist their right to
"a full hearing.
