dry, md tile result OF the dny's work, SONIC
of the Democrats say. will bo to take the
blUndy shirt out of politics. This result was
renehcu by wllat, on the one hand, nny be
called the tensler Of 4 compromise by the
Republicans, ami. on the other, by what Is
certainly a very great concession on tho part
of tho Democrats. The lssue which the
Democrats l,nye hitherto made l,as bec11
that tho Federal Election laws were un-
constitutional and should bo repealed,
and that the Democratic Congress SHOULD
appropriate no money to execute them. Thu
results 0f the extrn session and of tfo e1ec- :
tions which followed, and the decision of tho
United Stntc8 Supreme Court affirming tito
cnilstitntonalfty Of these laws in their
brondcst Interpretation, has forced even the
more radical Democrats to tho conclusion
+: tint q change of base was necessary, and that
to plnce themselves right before tic country
1t would be necessary to mike some appro-
pration to support those constitutional laws
until such time as the Democracy should 10
strong enough, to -
REPEAL THEM ALTOGETHER; :
