The Crescent illustrates this doctrine by reference to
the present Federal Executive Shortly after the cleo

term would not expire before he became the most obi

verified earlier than we expected; for the session OF
Congress succeeding his election his Administration en-
countered formidable opposition in the House Of Rep
rcsentatves and since that period has been poweress
and mpotent In the House the Buchananites pro-
per will be in woful minority; and should not be
surprised the Federal Senate Democratic il will be-
