AN ADMINISTRATORS VIEW OF THE CASE

The statement Alr. Bliss makes Is no doubt
true as il is notorious that Ct the y odd thousand

to elect Gov Tilden. In 1879 they were somewhat

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 21.-Both campaign commit
tees are hard at work at the Capitol putting up and
sending of documents. Scores of folders pastors,
and mailers fill the lower halls and corridors of the
House wing the Government paying good share
of the expenses The failure of the Frankng bill in
the House does not appear to affect the politicians so
seriously after all, there is law of evasion al
ready in force. Members and Senators have the
right to frank The Congressional Record and send it
free through the mails, and it is now the plan to
PRINT on the wrappers of speeches. &C., the words,
Part of The Congressional Record-free" and under
this member writes his name. As the speeches
now being distributed were doubt once printed in
The Record the Endorsement is technically right. but
nobody intended the law to be used to cover the free
transportation of campaign documents. 1t is also
observed that in many cases the rankIng is not done
by any member, but by substitute.
