Grant, said, in his place in Congress,
"Sir, on my responsibility as a Repro
sentative / pronounce this the most
monstrous and fragrant attempt to over
reach the Government and the people
that can be found in all the Legislative

He said he made hrieI, but he never

Storrs WAS beaten because i was proven
that Garfield was hribed, and therefore

lie denounced the Electoral Commission
bill, and then accepted place on the
Commission and did more to cheat and
swindle the people of the United States
than Justice Bradley. No honorable
man would have stopped to position
on commission which he believed ts
be unconstitutional. If he believed i
unconstitutional then be was a hypo
critic and knaye 30 accept position Al
member Of body met in violation o
law. If it was authorized by the Ia J
of the constitution then he was q con
summate liar in arraigning it, Rn
enough for him. His star Of Presiden

friends are now trying to save the legis
latures so as to secnEe a majority il tn
United States Senate, and to this en-
only viii the canvass proceed.
