Grafton Of the Fifteenth Amendment to tho
Constitution Of the United States They
n1lege that they want the subject to be
voted upon by the people in the choice Of
new Legislature The Constitution Of In
diana requires the presence Of two-thirds of
the members Of each house for quorum,
and the Democracy feel sure that post
ponement will work them no injury, it
being hardly possible that the Republicans
should elect two-thirls majority in both
branches. The factious opposition now can,
therefore, be repeated hereafter, The real
object is delay. The suggestion that they
wnnt 10 take the sense OF the people is ab.
suzd, because the present Legislature was
elected upon pretty nearly the same qucs-
tson now presented.
The recent elections do not promise any
comfort to the Democratic party from m
appeal TO the people. The question Of tho
ratification Of the Fifteenth Amendment,
including the issue Of negro suffrage at
home, was directly submitted to the people
ot New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, and the people hive ordered its
ratification. The case Of Connecticut is q
