Republican Moderation.

WASHINGTON, March >. One feature
Of the Electoral contest in the House which
should not be allowed to pass without no.
tice. is the wonderful degree of patience
and the digni6ed forbearanee which the
Republicans have manifested during the
last two weeks. Ever since the decision
of the Electoral Commission in the Flor
ida and Louisiana cases, the Democrats
have been unsparing in their denuneia-
tions not only Of the Republican men,
bers Of the Commission, but Of the men,
bers Of that party in the Senate and in
the House Of Representatives. No &C
cusation of partisanship or disregard o!
truth and fairness, however untounded,
have they hesitated to make. Yet through
il all and sometimes under circumstances
Of the very greatest proyOeation, the Re
publicans have preserved a calm and dig
nifed demeanor, and have not even sut-
fered themselves 70 retort, During the
two hours discussion on each objection
which was raised, the leaders on the Re-
publican side have carefully assigned the
portion Of time to which they were enti-
tied to men who were the least likely to
say anything that would add to the ex-
element already prevailing, or which
would stir up unnecessary luminosity
among their Democratic allies. Many
representatives who desired TO speak, and
who wished to reply TO some Of the at
taeks made upon their party and its rep
resentatives, were induced 10 print their
remarks instead of reading them in the
House, lest something they might say
would be used by the Democrats as pre-
text for closing up their divided ranks
and finally defeating the completion Of the
count. 1t was the intention Of the Re
pubEeans when the house separated on
the objection to the vote Of Wisconsin.
TO read one or two sharp lectures to the
Democrats for their unwarranted accu-
satiOns and denunciations but even when
that time arrived the situation was be-
heved to be 50 critical that they still re-
strained themselves, and allowed the de-
bate to close without saying any Of the
harsh things which they intended. Prob
ably no example Of equal selfrestraint
has ever been exhibited by the members
of great party in parliamentary body.
Nothing except the overshadowing mpOr-
lance Of the question at issue, and good
sense and patriotism Of the great major
ity Of the Republicans in the House, made
it possible for them to restrain themselves
as they did.

and frugal habits. have made homes in
this locality, and who are numbered
among the mos, prominent taxpayers OF

in that portion Of the town lying south
and west OF Mt. Abram, and cut of by
said mountain from the markets OF the
town, making their natural outlet al

raising potatoes, OF which every man Is
supposed to grow several acres; also in
making nice butteS which brings The
highest market price; also TO sheep
growing, every one owning more or less.
There are ten families in this district,
