there are two reasons. One is, that At

that it enabled the Democracy to still

Ir IS REPORTED from Washington that
the Democrats have definitely aban-

the Election laws en- account Of the OPP
position of Democratic Senators. In
view OF this expectation, the Republi-
cans are not likely TO resist the repeal in
the House, leaving the Senate TO kill 1t.
We cannot but regard this as adangerour
policy The repeal is bad in itself, and
has no business in an Appropriation
bill. The safer way would be tht
bold.r one, namely, to resist the repea
at all hazards, and throw ON the Demo

NAV follow. We have NO doubt tina
