Wilmington journal., 1876-02-04
FRAND ID.

The Radical leaders evidently appre-
ciate the dangers with which the path
way.of their party through the current
year is so thickiy set. On ever7 side
there are pitfalls innumerable and in
the regular beaten way in which they
will be forced to head stands its foe
ready for he fray.
The Consciousness of impending de-
feat is everywhere apparent. Grant
has tried Cuba and a third term
and that failed. Blaine tried jeff.
Davis and the Andersonville horrors
and that failed, and Morton tried to
hang out the bloody shirt dug in Mis-
sissippi, but ere he could throw cut
the ensanguined linen to the proper
breeze. he, too, failed. Nor is the
spectacle of a Democratic House of
Representatives following up, search~'
ing out and exposing the pickings and
stealings and extravagances of Radi-
soothe their now almost savage breasts.
Defeat stares them in the face. They
know that it will be impossible for
them to carry the next election by
force of fair argument, and they are
earnestly preparing the programme t"
be carried out in the event of their de-
feat.
The twenty-secon9 joint rule of the
| two Houses of Congress, which was
adopted by the Republicans in 1865,
when they controlled both the Senate
and House, has suddenly been diecov-
cred o be Exceedingly dangerous. 1t
| provides that when the electoral re-
turns are counted, either House may
| prevent the counting of the vote of an .
State by Simply objecting to it. Now
that the j.. mocrats have a majority in
the House Of Representatives the Re-
pubIicans fear they may object to the
votes of enough Republican States to
turn the scales against them. In short,
could be more unwise and more uncor-
stltutional and per1lous to the liberties
of the American people than this rule.
The Senate, therefore. has repealed it,
or at least re-euacted all the other joint
rules except this, and the House is
given the option of doing the same OF
letting the rules fall altogether, ano
leaving the two Houses to get along
without any joint rules.
Is it not a legitimate inference that
Mr.. Morton and other Radical leaders
! have in view the countingof votes they
are unwilling to submit to the scrutiny
and decision of Democratic House OF
representatives Verify, they are
beginning their preparations in time.
