Although a majority of Democrats will
regard the nominee with his sentiments as
a fraud upon the party. and although there

The World is entirely satisfied with
Mr. Willisms's statement OF the position Of
the Democratic party toward the Presi-
dent, and reinforces that statement BY the
following argument
Ii is entirely possible that frauds should
have been committed in any or In sll of the
States which sent up q certificate alleging
the choice of Mr.. Hayes, without enabling
the opponents of Mr.. Hayes to bring their
case before the Electoral Commission In
such a wav as to defeat his election. under
the rules on which the Electoral Commis-
sion was organized and on which 1t acted
The decision was LEFT to the Electoral Com
mission by Congress, and the reference was
urged beforehand and acquiesced In alter
wards by great majority of the moderate
men of both parties. 1t is silly as well as
unfruitful TO attempt reversing that de.
cision now. There is no tribunal to which
all appeal can be had. The lack of such
a tribunal impelled the best and most pa
triotic members of Congress, of both par
ties, to form new appellate tribunal In
the Electoral Commission. Both parties
the Republican with more reluctance
than the Democratic, acquiesced In the
formation OF that tribunal, and either par
~ is now entitled to challenge the decI-
sion. The Democrats OF all States feel
themselves aggrieved by the decision of
the Electoral Commission. But the
Democrats of no State have as vet
been silly enough. to propose that an
srbitrsment to which they had consented
should be set aside simply because the re-
suits OF that arbitrament did not please
them
