Eleventh So far there never vas a
question Of dispute or doubt that the
President Of the Senate decided, or
claimed the right to decide. aud in
every case the count proceeded upon
the idea that no vote could DO counted
without the consent Of both HOUSES.
Twelftl--In 1916, when the House
Of Representatives had become Demo-
cratic through the action Of some
Republicans now supposed TO be mis-
lesdingitheir party. the twenty-second
joint rule fell Had il stood the cleo,
tion Of the Democratic candidate would
DO morally certain.
lhirteenth--In the same year, and
in March last the Republican Senate
passed bill afterward suspended on
motion TO reconsider, Made by a
Democracy. with only three Republi.
eau votes against it---Conkling. Ed
munds aud Howe-giving each House
the power to reject any vote when
there should be double returns, the
effect of which would be to place the
absolute decision OF the present dis.
pute IN the power Of the House Of
Representatives, and to make the
Democratic case certain of success.
Fourteenth The present bill then
saves the Republican cause from the
predetermined destruction of its hopes
and fortunes being left solely in the
hands of it's opponents.
Fifteenth--Is there much ground,
then, to condemn the action Of the
Senators who have striven to get the
Repu blican cause, as well as the cause
of free government, under law, out of
the valley of the shadow of death, aud
put them on ground where they can
have fair and equal contest, in what.
ever way it may terminate?
