kyln the absence of any authorized
statement Of sthe reasons which con-
trolled two.thirds OF the Democrats in
siding With HA1Es against CoNKLrse, It
Is charitable to assume that they were
Influenced by higher motive thansthe
damaging Of CosKLIse as Presidential
sspirant. Nor is it fair to assume that
they sought by such means to widen the
breach between the President and the
Senator, or to weaken the Republican
party in New York.
Still We really wish we could think Of
some good reason for theft action which
would be ereditabls to their patriotisn.
