spect, when the Forty.hfth Congress
reassembles.
The Point
In the subeque Mt objection to the adj
mission OF the representative from
Colorado, Ia OF course, to be found In its
bearing on the presidential election.
Since in this case II the representative
was admitted, the House would BIO
hereafter estopped from objection to
the electoral vote OF Colorado.
THE Ground
on which the objection Is based is that
Congress exceeded its constitutional
power when II authorized the Presl-
dent to proclaim the admission OF the
State without u submission Of It's con-
stltution to Congress. The constitution
makes Congress the sole Judge whether
State constitutions are republican In
form, and requires II shall so decide In
the case Of each new state. Ii Ia held
that this duty cannot be delegated to
any one elhe ~ tHht
Despite the Enabling Act,
were Colorado authorized by the Presl-
dent to accept the constitution Of the
State, 1t is still necessary that Congress
should act upon 1t before the new
State is actually admitted. The objec-
ton was not raised in the Senate at
all, but that does not preclude the
! House from taking cognizance Of an
unconstitutional feature In the En-
abling Act,
Mewitrs Resolution.
The opposition which the Republic
can members made to Mr.. Hewltts
resolution was unexpected, and Is gem
orally regarded az iAdefensible. Their
filibustering delayed the adjournment
OF the House from five until half-past
seven, and IL looked for some time as
II there would be an all night session.
The Republicans came to the conclu-
sion, however, that they had sutii-
oient number present to prevent the
Democrats from getting u two'thirds
vote, and go permitted vote ON the
motion, and were very much surprised
at finding that they were mistaken
when the result was announced.
