delIDerate judgement, based upon fair
estimate of all tho evidence, that the

gross oultdges, etc., IL wholly unsup'
ported 10y tho evidence. A comparison
| of the numerical result Of the October
election, with that of the November
election, Is u conclusive confirmation
OF the foregoing statement. Nearly
every witness put on tie stand by Mr..

to the conduct of the marshals as In

Democrat who had failed 10 vote by raa-
son of intimidation by marshals.
Within the recollection OF the minority
there was only II single exception and
that was n very imp Dverishrd Italian
who testified that somebody went away
and did not vote. The minority are OF
the opinion that Marshal Wright com
4 mitted an error in declining To divide
his appointments between tho two po-
lirical parties. He should at
least have made an effort TO
lind reliable representative in the
Democratic party, who would consent
To act with others of the opposite iallh
in the furtherance OF the worthy pur-
pose he had in view. This would have
been in conformity with tho spirit of the
statute as to supervisors, and would
have tended TO allay the bitterness OF
the controversy, which finds Its contin
uatiOn in this inquiry, which ls cyl
IDENTIFY aimed rather at the
member-elect, who is to succeed
Mr.. Toilet, than at the marshal
whose trial upon impeachment was as
clearly impossible at the outset rs now;
but the mistake of the marshal IN this
( last named regard was, ut most, an
error of judgment aud is only alluded
10 to complete the review of his official
conduct. The minority dissent wholly
from the action of the majority in the
resolution appended 10 It's report as
not only unwarranted by the evi.
dence, but as entirely beyond
the scope either of the duty or the 0u-
thurity OF the committee or of congress.
II is no part of the duty of congress, nor
is IL within the scope Of its functions as
the legislative branch of the govern
ment. either to request or advise the re-
moval of a subordinate in an executive
department. Finally, there Is no EVIL
dence on record which shows that any
appreciabe illegal vote was cast on
/, either side ut the October cleo
, ton. While on the other
, hand the loss from intimidation was
wholly on the Republican side. In Veri-
fcatiOn of this statement confident
, appeal Is made TO tho record and the
tinal result. The election was ~ fair an
eXpr ssion of the viii of the people OF
, Cincinnati as is possible without a
proper registration of votes.
