THE SHOTGUN POLICY SUPPLEMENT
TED BY PRESCRIPTION IN TRADE
AND EMPLOYMENT.

The Morning Herald has heard "a ru-

BY the foreman of one of our large manufac-
turing firms for refusing to vote the Repub
lican ticket This rumor is probably like
the one heard from New Castle, where
three men had left the Hayes Club and
Joined the Tilden Club-there being no
foundation for the story at all. But sup

spot to which we shall ask it to direct its at

Is THE MAYOR A LAWYER Z

II the printed report of Mayor Whiteley's
speech last evening, is correct, he told his
audience that the opinion of the Supreme
Court pronounced the Enforcement Act
Unconstitutional null, and void in every
particular"
This is not true. The greater part OF the
Enforcement Act has never been passed
upon by the Supreme Court, and has not
been pronounced unconstitutional at all.
1t is the third and fourth sections of the
law that have been thrown out. Mr. Archie
Given was not convicted under either of
them but under the second section. Mayor
Whiteley was therefore again in error when
he told his hearers, Gas the Herald report
states,) that " the act under which Given
was tried and fined was unconstitutional
AS matter of fact, the ruling of the Su-
pseme Court pronounced the Sd and 4th
did not contain the provision that the pun
ishable discrimination was on account OF
race or color, &C." But the End section
does contain that provision, and by logical
inference stands. So Mr.. Archie Given
may have the satisfaction of knowing
that he was punished legally as we'll al
justly.
Again, the Mayor makes the blunder o.
saying that Judge Strong delivered thu
Supreme Court opinion on the unconstitu
tional sections--he having sustained th
End section, here, in the Given trial. Judg
Strong did not Chief Justice Wait did
When the former comes to pass on the On
section, we have no doubt he and the Cour
will sustain it.
