The vste in the Congressional Elec.
ton Committee, to unseat Washburne
and seat Donnelly, is the top of poliuc-
al villiany. We are dazed at the
gross atrocity of the act. Political
deprayity can so no further. IL is
now clearly manifest that the Demo.
cratic leaders have determined to
steal the next presidency under the
forms OF law. II is quite probable
that the next president will be elect.
cd after the election by the people.
For that contingency the democracy
are providing. In vote by States.
In Congress, the democrats still want
one State. To secure this, they de-
liberately propose to make the Re-
publican State of Minnesota do SER
vice in the election of a Democratic
president. Think of Minnesota, with
$1,000 Republican majority, voting to
make Democratic president of the
United States. Violence and shot
guns are the Democratic methods in
the South; in Maine, they attempt to
steal a legislature and governor by
fraud; and now a Democratic Con-
gress cody resolve upon the theft of
Republican Minnesota, and make ii
subserve their unholy purpose of steal
ing the next presidency. They have
inscribed upon their banner. rule or
ruin" There is not party in Next
co that would dare thus to annihilate
the overwhelming popular vote of a
great state. But TO this complexion
has Democracy come at last. They
are preparing 10 count in their de-
feated candidate. The coming elec-
ton is pregnant with danger. We
may have two presidents sworn in,
Just as we had two governors in
Maine and in Louisiana. Then will
come anarchy. Business will be para
lyzed. and the country will enjoy the
beauties of democracy. 1t is impos-
sible to discuss the seating Of the de
feated Donnelly. Logic, truth, de-
cency. pale before it. We can only
point 10 it and say. THAT is democrat
cy, democracy gone mad.
