IT is said that the Republican Senators
at Washington consider that Garfield In
his speech in the House on the Army
bill, gave away their entire cause. We
quote from an exchange
"a leading Republican Senator said
that when Garfield admitted that, upon
the merits OF the proposed legislation, he
was in perfect accord with the Demo-
Gratis, and simply opposed the method Of
legislating by Incorporating the measure
in an appropriation bill, he abandoned
the whole case; and" continued the Sem
ator, "if / could not find any more tena-
BILE ground upon which to oppose the
proposed repeal, l would 60 home or
keep my mouth shut. ! would not stul-
tify myself by denouncing as revolution.
ary a method which has been in almost
constant use for thirty FIVE years."
"The admissions of GarfeldSn histwo
speeches, and to inquiries addressed him
by Democrats, have utterly demolished
the case of the opposition to the repeal.
SeCor Robson was the only man in the
House who took the ground that will be
maintained in the Senate by Republi-
cans like Edmunds, Conkling, Carpenter
and Blaine. They will hold that the
amendment of sections 002 and ,528 Of
the Revised Statutes, as proposed by the
Democrats, absolutely prevents any civil
officer of the Federal Government from
exercising any authority at the polls,and
if Hayes approves the Army bill with
these amendments in il; the Democrats
can afford to allow the election laws to
stand, because deputy marshals will be
poWerless to execute them"

For three years the Republican Legis-

the commands of the State Constitution,
as to passing a legislative districting bill.
They have at last passed one, and it is q
very unfair measure, and denies Demo-

ton, but it is somewhat better than the
existing law.
