sT1CK TO YOUR BARGAIN,


cratic sort, and of very mean Democratic
sort. 4 few samples will suffice to show
how tho Democracy, after soIemnly agreeing
to abls BY the decisions Of tribunal with
the creation Of which they Ind more to do
Than tho Republicans, regard thoir agrae-
ment. Tho Louisville Courier-Journai, much
to public astonishment, Is one OF tho faircst
Of the Democratic papers. It says: "With
other Democrats We submitted our caae to
the Commission. and we, Of course, with
gone disappointment, but in perfect good
faith, acquicsce in tho Judgment" That at
least is manly. The st, Louis 1imes will
also submit, but not with "a good grace ns
the Courier journal, for II says: III Nh.
HATES gains tho Presidency by such foul
and disgraeeful trick, his title could not DO
respected by decent mon even II he was
tlemigod." The Indianapolis Sentinel, moss
covered and rock-buttressed Bourbon, foarns
at the mouth and tears it's hair. Tho de-
cision is IN crime-triumph which "beats
he'll" Tho "hiatoric numbers, eight to
seven, ara as monumental Of crime as tho
Dead Sea is Of Gop's wrath" Tho Commits
sion has "outragod equity" "spurned tho
authority Of tho people, q 'enthroned per-
jury" and linked HAYES nan,o with "crimcs
that havo no parallel in history. Tho second
century Of tho Republic commences with
dauning crime mado as monumental rs the
Pyramids by a vote OF eight to seven," aud
much more to the samo effect, growing out
Of tho prospective loss Of q Post-Ofllcc. Tho
Chicago Times tieyotcs itself to bombnrding
the Commission, aud tho Democratic party
also. Gen. KEENAN,, at tho head of tho
Washington Department, wants to wade in
"goall md is In favor OF !" wnl,," whilc tho
Home Department comforts the Democracy
by calling them such pet names rs HfoolB" md
"idiots." The Washington Capital, edited by
Dosx Pnrr, makes m assault upon the
members of tho Commission 10 infanously
personal and malicious that, it wo had less
FREQ and mora strict Government, he and
his paper would have been pitched into the
Potomac before this. In addition to those
samples Of Democratic human nnture, t1ero
are numerous other choice expressions from
less important members Of the party that
are more OF less rampageoua and dlscordant.
Very nearly the whole dis8.untled pack, in
fact, IL bowling in unison, urging tbs Demo-
cratic House to go buck upon their ngree-
ment,-a practice not evon in favor among
thieves and gamblers.
THAT the Democrats should writhe under
these decisions ia not to be wondered ut.
No matter how fairly tho Commission might
hnyo been made mp, no matter what hopes
the gcneral public may have had, that It
should giyo general satisfaction Is manifest
imposalbility. The Now York Tribune says
very pertinently: "Such marks Of dis
pleasure aro not uupantlouable; but the
advocates Of tho Commission apparently sup
posed that 1t was to conquer human nature. +"
However much they ,nay be lisplcased, they
are bound, however, by every lIw OF right
md honor, to abido by the agreement they
have ulade.
What las this Commission done that It
should have raised these threats OF suppress
Ing It or rufnaing to abide by its decision :?
1t Inns decided the three following PROPOSE
tions;
!. That Can8ress cannot 60 behind The aual Au-
thorftativs declaration Of q Statp to inquire Into
tho manner in which Eiecton were sppointed.
=. That Congress con take no notice Of any pro-
ceedings for nvatdat!ng such declaration after the
Electors have discharged their dutsea and aro
(aacfHs oHfeto.
y. That there was no evidence that MF. I1ux-
PElNET was Federal officer at the time he Waa ap.
pointed IN Elector.
Now, II it be partisan for shree Of tho 6u-
preme Judges, following the language Of tho
Constitution, to vote for these propositions
