French gaming houses and Of Attorney General Van Blu.
rens election bets deny that stop ought to be put
If possible the practice of betting on elections
think that Sas wrshts Message took correct view Of
the evil effects Of such gambng-that TINS HOUSE, in
deprivng Of the power Of voting at an election those
who had been base enough degrade the Office of elect
or into that of common gambler, previous thereto,
made rational effort TO uphold the purity Of our ins,i.
tuions and that the Senate. By stopping the bill and
striking on, the section, erred greatly.
To-day the Senate returned the Election Bill with
the clause prohibiting betting elections struck out
II put the House whether they would insist that
the clause shall remain so that this vice may be made
infamous and thereby rooted out, and the AYES were
