Congress IS still firing away over the

definite being accomplished, saving the
making Of record by the Republican
aud Democratic parties.

in forciug the pending issues il, to
compel the Republicans to place them
selves on record;
Frat. as to using soldiers at the cleo

Second, as to using partisan super
visor's in Congressional elections.
Third. as to retaining partisan juries

The determination OF the Democrats
to force these Is, ues Squsrely before the
public mind is exactly the right thing.
