He; . reviewed the circumstances of

part of- the Harrison administra
tion ■'•■and following -the election In
..Florida;. and It was generally believed
that grosH frauds had been perpetrated
■■, against", the Republican - party, j judge
| Swiayne had told .him that ' It was, the
' dealre. of the administration that those
\ gu'tlty of these frauds should be pro
ceeded against. This litigation had en
■.serjdered. an ' Intense feeling against
.Judge Swayne.' •
'- ! Charges Political Jobbery
ylt was then regarded as ' hazardous
.for Judge Swayne to travel about the
- district, and from : that j time on Judge
-.Swayne. was persona non grata to the
I Democrats . of Florida'
y/"Following;y /"Following; "this .unpopularity,'', the
plotter continued, "Judge* Swayne's iJls
"trlct-was changed, largely for the pur
' pose of. punishing him. The change of
' the district resulted in his being, as it
-we're,« ousted out of his district."
I *He . says that .Judge j Swayne Imme
diately set 'about obtaining a . new
residence, wjthln • his ; .. district, .which
'took four or. five years. , .

"to. hold him to a very rigid compliance
with ..the; alleged' spirit of section 165
;'oy. removing his residence^ when con
gress' saw | lit, ,as' a matter of punish
■ment, to change the' limits ot the dis
trict for which he was appointed. Being
.' satisfied, ' as I am, that " the ■ original
-motive of the . prosecution Is based on
political ground and that district limits
. were changed to his prejudice, I do not

vote against htm." .
S3 He next j refers to an act of "a par

too, was a cause of increasing the un
popularity of Judge Swayne.

than likely that instead. of sending out
large; committees, the investigating
bodies will be broken into smaller num

given the opportunity of meeting at
