Ii any of the Republican statesmen
have futtered themselves that The
Democrats are not in earnest in their
determinationto repeal tho test oath,
and deputy marshal provisions OF tho
election law, they are very likely un-
deceived by. this lime. The same
unity, harmony and determil alton
that pervaded the Democracy when
they demanded The removal Of tie
troops from the South, exists now in
the ranks, and they mean business.
10 Democrats of backbone, who be-
ieve in Standing square up 10 an ag-
gressive fight against Republican en-
croachmcnis aud Outragcs, this isonea
| of the most encouraging signs of the
times. 1t will not do 10 denounce
the revolutionary and unconslituiion-
al tendencies of the Republican par
ty, and then shrink from the duty OF
combating them. In every election
since 1874 the people have sustained

The most ;mportant and imnress-

Potter committee. is tint of Gen.

prominent Republicans who went TO

in his marty and State. ana is Accord
ed to be a thoroughly honest, high
toned gentlemen. He found shortly
after his arrival in Florida. that the
object of Chandler. Moves and some
of the other visiting Republicans wa.
not to ''see fair count" but to OBJ
tain fraudulent one. Ills iuycstiya-
tions convinced him that tile State
belonged to Tilden and he so in
formed his associates, refusing to act
as counsel before the board for that
reason. In conversation with MIR.
Cowgil, a member of the returning
board, the night before the decision
was rendered, and after the case had
been fully canvasscd, lie expressed
his opinion that there was no iair
way OF giving the State to HAYES,
In which Cowgil fully. coiucided,
