| WARRINGTON, u. ". NOV. 10, 1919
A great many years ago, In the State Of
Maine, a man was tried for murder, was
convicted, sentenced, and, as every body
supposed, was hanged until he was dead
It happened, however, that one argus-eyed
individual saw, or thought he saw motions
of tn. limbs after the physicians had agreed
the man was dead, and sometime after
wards ,ha. observing man published his
belief that the gsllews had not finished its
work. and that the murderer was alive and
| at large. Then came other credulouS peo
! ple who saw the man in California, In New
York. in Wisconsin and in other places.
Sensible people in Maine never believed it,
but few incurable idiots did and filed the
air with their statements. Attentive oh
servers will see in the vagaries OF those
persons a striking parallel to the confidence
remaining in few Republican bosoms since
the election of the 9th inst. that their parry
| is alive ard has hopes for the next few
| wears. At ,ae last Presidential election the
Democratic candidate received beyond aues-
tiop electoral votes enough except one TO
elect him, and as since admitted by Judge
Strong and believed by everybody, was
actually entitled to more than enough.
| Since then the party has secured beyond
question three Southern States which were
stolen from it, and has captured Pennsyl-
vania and California. Ally friends the
Republican body" may have should con-
slider these facts. 1t is idiocy to ignore
them.
The extra session of Congress called to
meet SO near the commencement Of the
regular session, and traBsScting business
so tardily as it has, has proved to be almost
if rot quite useless expense. The Amy
Appropriation bill, delay Of which costs
/ The officers and men of the army thousand
| dollars day, is still going back ana forth
between House and Senate. No legislation
has been accomplished except the passing
of deficiency bill for the. navy, and that
could as well as not have waited TIL Decem
Der. The sanguine friends of the Silver
bill and of the bill 10 repeal the Resump-
ttion act have. no hope Of success at this
session. Congress cannot do better than
adjourn, 60 home without mileage and
endeavor to create public sentiment which
will compel the Executive to call extra
sessions, if necessary at all, at the time they
are most needed, and not at time when
they will be mere prefix to the regular
sessions.
There never was more, effort made to keep
the proceedings Of any conference secret
than in the case of the late call OF Senators
on M Hayes to demonstrate with him
against the appointment of Democrats to
Office The whole truth, evidently, is nat
yet out. but it is known that there was
creat dissatisfaction expressed by the Com
mrtee. He may s"e little of the effects of
this corf renee for some time, but it Is i'm
porraDt as being he first formal protest of
/ the Republican Senator's against acts of the
|jrrs~n, executive.
| 10. IeE earnest Democrats who believe
']a', if the elevation of Hayes was secured
! by traul---if, in sbor', Tllden was elected
by the people There should be thorough
iuvcs' igaton At once into all the facts i'll
the case, and that We should not wait until
1851 for the fruits Of a victory gained in
1876. 1t seems to me that all clear-headc1
men, be they Republicans or Democrats,
knowing how much easier the repetition OF
a fiaud Is than IFS first commission, and
realizing the demorslizing results upon tbe
government Of great UNPUBLISHED fraud
ought 10 unite TO demand not only prompt
investigation into this case, tut unrelentns
punishment Of all who are found guilty
Every day lost, weakens enr hope Of accom-
plshiog what is SO clearly demanded. Wht
will move frsG? Don.
