The Real Estate Investigation.
cLEvELAND's ATTEMPT TO LOAD ONE OF HIS
COMMISSIONERS UPON HARRISON.
Gen Boynton in Cincinnati Gazette
There has been q considerable displav of
virtue in various democratic Journals over the
arraignment made in this correspondence of
the management Of District affairs. This has
been based upon the assumption that only re-
publican correspondents had the news or made
the charges. Now, to the confusion of all
such, comes the democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, and against q persistent effort on
the part Of TIE Presidents Commissioners and
their friends to prevent it, orders. by large
majority, an immediate investigation into
charges directly affecting the Commissioner.
The decision to make the inquiry was unaui-
nous in the committee TO which il was referred.
and was not reached until after the Commits
stones had been given full opportunity to clear
themselves.
As a member Of the committee explained the
matter on the floor: sThe committee called the
Commissioners before them. They gave them
the privilege of bringing before the committee
the transactions referred to, and after the COM
mittee had deliberately heard the statements
OF the Commissioners and heard the statements
Of those they desired to bring before us. we re-
ported in favor Of an investigation; and that
report has been in the hands of the chairman
of our committee, who has been unable TO pre-
sent it or call it up in this House."
By q vote Of the House Of more than two TO
one these Commissioners stand arraigned BY
their own party for personal irregularities.
They have cunningly evaded this righteous
ministration to which they belong win end
with this vote Of want Of confidence resting
upon them. President Cleveland has attempted
to load one Of these Commissioners upon presi-
dent Harrison Is VIZ be interesting 10 zee

which has continued TO expose their unwhole-
some dealings in the purchase Of real estate for
VIM please observe that democrstic Honss
ordered the investigation by Q vote Of uore
than two TO one, after full debate. and efForts
to excuse andscreen the Commissioners. HV. IA
