THINGS TO BE CoNsIDpppn

1t is leading object of the loco co,,
politicians to taunt the Wings with hon presses and
fulfil their promises to the people dO,;ns N'edb
campaign of 1910. The presses of this oi' vi" political
Evening Post especially, make this Slso oI a"a The
staple of nearly all the ad captaudum e '' the
are daily boiling forth to their readers md M"'" they
really run short of raw material for donn.! would

But, though these Editors are rvinc r,,..
on one idea, they see the necessity of % op
words in which they smother the main bonsu'
give a'''tle verbal variety to the everlasting S I"
of the material from which they rabricao ''"ene''
The fling at the Wings for the GaIuro,o,
the principles upon which they elected Cor ~ out
on to the Presidency is not only false, but D,"
spaltry' because those who make the ch,r,o J..
as well as we know ourselves, that the W.T. ""0w'

end Of that time, traitor to all their NJ. inc

we are now charged with having violated. Tb."s
is so papnb'e and so fresh in the minds Of ovo.m
telligent man in the country, that it wero ro,.
perogalion to produce formal proofs of if. oro 49,.

Mr. John Tyler's conscience, which appears 10 b,vo
been from the beginning made of loco loco ms,er,,
interposed its veto, and that great remedial mepsus
was taken out Of our hands. Our party promised
other and cardinal deliberations of the mjsrovenmoD,
that had been bIightng the prosperity orhe country
for twelve years; and they too, fell under the Exeu
tive ban. Labor they might for the benefit Of hs
people, JOHN TYLER was ready at every poip,
thwart them and render their efforts nugatory. IN
Short it became impossible for the peoples representa-
tves TO do any hing-out the question to lesisla,e
to any advantage long that deadly incubus hung
upon the body politics; for it was very soon found
that was even useless to shape act so as to meet
the wishes Of the acting President at any given point
Of time, for neither he hmsefor members of Con-
gress knew what his mind was, Erom day to A.
Mother
A bill might be drawn to-day in strict conformity
with his expressed WILL and tomorrow he wO0d
threaten TO veto it. Que law actually passed both
Houses which had previously received his express
sunction--nay, was partially drawn up in hh own
hand writing, and yet when it was sent to him for
signature, the creatures that were around him had
difficulty in pcrsuading him to reject The ONpOsi
ton party was of course ready to take adaHtageOf
this treacherous mbecility on the part Of MrTylg
and to give sort OF seeming sanction 10 his course
1t was convenient treason for them, however deeply
they might despse the traitor, and they used it. Tile
Wings though they had of large majority in Congress,
had less than two thirds, and Of course, wthOuth'
signature Of the man acting PRESIDENT no bNcOud
become law. This was the state of things as soon
as Gen. Harrison died, and the loco focos are
well aware of it as we are ourselves; and stu 'ney
have the cool impotence to taunt the Wing party"
the u. States with non-fufment of their promises
TO the people who we can tell them, see these cFcu"
stances in their true light and will tell the den
gogues as soon as the real issue be made up anu
decided at the ballot boxes 1t is quite true that ''
paralysis which such mountains Of trencheY as 'D'

from coming to the polls on minor questions o. p'D'
