The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1874-04-17

Wallace offered a substitute for the
aiI, which, while it would give the Re
tublicans . working majority in the
Sena and House, would dc substan-
tiai and impartial Justice to both po-
ht;cal parties. Of course MIR. Wal
.ace's substitute was voted down by
tic Radical majoritv, Senator II .Clure
voting with the Democrats, and the
Intamy Was cunsuEmated. The bill
is now before the House for its action,
auG viii receive the warm and enthu-
siastic support Of Samuel Henry, Who,
unfartauat. Il, a.srepgeseH,s the coun-
ty OF Cambria, AMI who by his vote
in favor Of this political outrage will
aid in the Acknowledgement Of one ham
}rGd thousand Democratic voters in
the State. We have no doubt we will
be able before our paper goes to press
80 announce its passage by the House.
It will then remain to be seen whether
Gov. liartrautt will sanction this mon
stroaity, CT whether be will assert his
political manhood and rs an honest
executive, which We believe him to be,
send the fraud back TO the Senate with
minded man, and thereby teach. his
Radical friends in the Legislature that
although they are in a majority, Dem
0crats have yet some political rights
left which, on every principle Of hon
caty and justice, ought and must be
respected. That he lctU 40 so is al
most hoping against hope.
IN offering his substitute for the
eerymander Of Senator Rutan, Mr.
Wallace said:
Iye had had the honor of seeing two leg
islatiye appoltionment bills carried over his
head, bat the present one cclipscd all its
predecessors in partisan unfairuess. Ac-
c)Tdiug to the bill it would take but 10, res
Republican voters TO elect a senator while
1t would require IS. 6G1 Democratic voters
to do The same th;2g. The bill would give
the Republicans raiTty-thrce of the fifty
members and a majority Of furty-eight on

are Democratic but entirely ignored in

thereto, and in order tl.at there may be no
mistake as to the position Of the Echo AND

but should the Convention nominate some
other gentleman, this paper VIII oDuose
Henry or any other person nominated by
