votes of Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
ton and proceed Immediately to the election
of Mr.. Tlden by the House. Shortly after
the scheme was adopted it was discovered
that possibly there would be Demo Gratis
enough In the House to defeat this revolu-
tionary act by refusing to participate in the
plot, and, a. Mr.. Randall and others scknoWl-
edged, these Sth OF January meetings were
arranged for the express purpose Of bull
doking these members into the insurrectiolary
movement. Since this plan was arranged the
situation has been discussed from every
the wise conclusion that the emergency In
stead Of bluster requires calm heads and cool
Judgment to settle the questions Of the peril
GUS crisis. Since these meetings were called
the country has learned that South Carolina
and Florida are Republican beyond
question, and that the evidence CLEANED
by the Congressional committees in LouisiAna
Ia largly in favor of Hayes, and justiaes the
action of the Returning Board. This leaves
the Democratic party nothing save the Oregon
affair with which to fire the incendiary heart
ofthe masses to deeds of opposition to law
and constitutional authorities. But this
proves to be enough to arouse the pumpkins
and rif-raf conspira.ors, and this day have
they chosen in which to demonstrate their
high appreciation of Cronin's trick and
Growers infamy. 1t will be day in which
faint indications of revolution will be seen all
over the country. There will be many politi-
cal meetings called under the fimsy pretext
of selEdefense, but which are, In reality,
cloaks to cover a spirit of sedition against the
peace of the nation, which is now actusting
the Democratic conspirators. Instead of
counseling peace, as the Democracy should,
after having been defeated on the battle field
not ten years ago, we now find them teaching
new treason and spreading sedition through
out the country. The rule adopted by Andrew
jackson, January 8, 1915, made treason odous
by vindicating loyalty IN the punishment of
the traitor Let the conspirators remember
that man is at the helm now as brave as
Jackson, who is as iron headed in patriotism
as he was iron-hearted ON the battle field
Let them remember that he is keeping vigils
over the Republic. .- o.
Another way to satisfy the People.
Should Congress decide to 90 back Of the
returns, the vote of no State will be thrown
out except upon the concurrent action of both
Houses. This every Intelligent person will
concede to be Just. The Senate must also
acknowledge an election Of President before
the election of one can be declared. This
being the situation, should discussion be en-
tered upon on and after the 18th Of February,
it would probably continue until after the 4th
of March, at which time the right of the House
to elect will expire, and, according to the Con.
stitution, the President of the Senate will have
to be inaugurated. Now in order that the
wishes of the people shall not DO thwartsd,
the Senate should, If it anticipates a.debste
