The Clarion sticks to it that the men
who voted for the Electoral law com.
mitted q blunder 1t says that the
Electoral Commission committed a
fraud in counting in Hayes, and that
tas Democrats who voted for the law
committed a blunder. We do not
tain. his position is sound. Iii GER
ta!uly illogical and unjust. II Brad
ley and Company had not committed a
fraud, we would never have heard of
this charge against the Democrats, In
other words, If the law had been hon
estly administered, it would have
proved the wisdom of its supporters
in securing, what it wasinlended to Sc
cure, peaceful and just solution OF
the difficulties that threatened the
country. Auy law on the Statute book
may be abused, and according to the
Cartons logic, every time one is
abused or corrupted, the poor fellows
who passed It can justly be charged
with blundering.
