While this resolution mag not be respect
ed BY Democratic Representatives imms-
diately interested in the asusos1s Of The
bills in question, there are always Demo
Gratis enough Who abide by their pFinci-
Piles, when it doss not affect their inter-
ests, to maintain the Holman doctrine.
We may safely predict, therefore, that
upon any test vote affecting the passage Of
these bills, tho Dsmocratio Repressnta-
tives Of the Eastern Atlantic cities, and
along the whole lines Of railroads connect
ing these cities with the Mississippi valley
and the Pacific coast, viii abide rigidly By
the State rights Dsmoczstic principle. and
cast their votes under the strict restrie-
ions of the Holman resolution, and
against tho Southern Pacific railroad aud
levee bills.
Commanding 70 the attention of Hon.
Mr.. Nash the advantages and duties of po-
sition which have accrued to tho Repub-
lican party, We expect him to advance to
it, yindication. Having voted With the
Gde which substantially prevailed, he
may properly move RECOMMENDATION Of

was adopted. H hs shall be successful in

Such step is evidently indispensable
to permit the free and honorable action
Of the House of Representatives upon the
levss and railroad bills. With the Hol-
man resolution in force, it will be impos-
sible for the most athletic Representative
TO ''Push through" those bills. Let the
Hon. Mr.. Nash relieve the situation. It
Is duty to the Republican party upon
which the resolution throws an unjust |
stigma We know that those Who will
profit most by these measures will be-
SLAYER Mr.. Nash with fulsome compli-
ments. while 1t home he will never re-
ssive the slightest Democratic acknowl-
sdgmeht for his services. He owes this
motion to rescind the Holman resolution
70 the welfare Of his State and the vindi- |
'ation Of his party, and we trust he viii |
10 his,duty to both. |
