W-BB-gOTOB, Feb. 11!.?One method !>v which th
l'eniocrat-console iiieii;??'lves for their dis? cmiitur
111 the F'u rida CBBB is by reheai*sing to each of he
how they wer?-out witte?! a nil deceived by the Kepub
lieans. and induced against iheir better judgnion
to support the couiiuiiuiise Klcctoral hill. On?
explanation of it is simstuntLally aa follows : Whet
thu bill was drawn up, and when it was under dis
cession in both bnnsea of Co?greaa, tin* DBBjoenti
expected tliat .liidge I lav is would be eh-cfed by th?
other fou 1* jutlges as the fifteenth man of thcConimi?
sion -.and tm account of their failli in his appointment
and their belief that hia awards would be in then
favor, they supported the bill. At the last moment
and jaat before tha bill aaa penned they say Secre?
tary Chaadler and I'rcMiient Grant sent B message
to f.Vu. Logan, who wan 111 Springfield, III.,
directing 111 in. while oiKwanliy apit-euriug 10 make
a vigorous liglit against Darla la Has nonatorlal coo
test, s?*t retly to plot for his election, und thus render
bin ineligible for a seat in the I'.lectorul Commis?
sion, (-?ni. Logan's reward log this was to lie the
Secretaryship at Wat nadar PraataTaat Hayan, This
plan, tho Ilemoi rats say, worked beautifully, and
Judge Davis was removed from the hit of eligible
candidates for g seat on the CoumJaaiofl wh?-n
tin- Dem?crata wen* eoauaitted to the support ?if tha
bill and when it wa* too late tor than to with?
draw. Th.ise who tall this story admit tliat their
party was ontwittod by the Republican managen
ami tiiat they tteaarra to be beaten foe their stupid?
ity. The plot ia reportad i>v some to have been d?>
ciiveietl by th?* Damoeratk tendon at tin* elerenth
ii.nir, am! tli-y Baaert tiiat tin* Deaaocrataof Illinois
w.re warned against it; bur flu* dispatches BBOl to
