TIE CASE OF SENATOR TuoMAs As
the recent action q the Senate Of the Tn
tied States in denying Senator Thomas
admission to his seat in that body appears
to be a wrong without a Constitutional
remedy, and as the State is rowerless to
obtain representation except BY tAe cleo
ton of another party, We do not see what
better the Legislature could have done
than TO have protested against the parti-
I'm and arbitrary action of the Senate and
determined upon new election to fill he
vacancy created by the refusal Of the Sen
ate to admit Mr. Thomas. In the pres
cnlc Of an outrage So gross. We agree with
ou1 Senator, Nj. Maddox, that the pro
ties, adopted by the Legislature is much
''too tame and quiet to express the lndlg-
nation which is felt BY the people Of Ma
ryland' Something fcrcer would have
better su t4i our own tastes-Nr. Mad
dox's own amendment for instance but,
upon the whole, as protests, tame or fierce
in times like the present, amount to moth
ing, We do not feel called upon to protest
further against the protest of the commit
