The constitutional majority.

The Democrats now have an actual,
regular, and positive majority Of the
Senate. They have The power to re-
construct all the committees, aud to take
rAe organization of the Senate, so far a.
y ls completed, out of the hands OF the
Republican,, by simply passing . res ,
luton to that effect.
Suppose they should offer such q reso-
luton, and tue Republicans should re-
slst its passage, In what sort OF q predic-
ament would the latter be placed, after
having denounced their opponents as
guilty Of treason, to use the language Of
Mr.. Hoar, because they opposed the cor.
rapt bargain with MahoneP ?
The Republicans have never had
since the 4th Of March . genaiue ma
jorlty of the Senate. They PEELED thir-
ty-seven votes, against thirty-seyen
Democrats. BY the trade with Mahone.
lis vote was added to this aggregate, but
offset by that OF Judge Davis, ON the
electlonof officers. By this roundabout
process the Vice PI resident obtained the
casting voice.
Such was the constitutional maio,i-
ty"by which the deadlock was kept up
aSA o'Ot oiA WGchog al al hLJcupb 70 lul-

The Senate. The Democrats properly re-
sisted the completion OF that vsDal tra ns-
action, which, stripped Of false pretences
and disguises, now stands revealed In
all its deformity.
The long struggle had at least the
good effect of infol ming the country OF

What ever else may take place, It Ia
next to certain that Gorham aud Riddle

CoNKLIEe's DEFBAT.-Mr. Conk
ling's chances for reelection to tn.
Senate have grown very slim since the
confirmation of Mr.. Robertson. Mr.
Platt has apparently, much les.
chance. The New York Sun and Her
aid speak favorably but they do moi
represent the Republican party. The
Times and the Tribune are both very
openly opposed to the return Of both
Senators, and their editorials lead tc
the opinion that they cannot be 70
elected. The Times in leading edi.
torial says:
"Mr. Conkling and Mr.. Platt have
both in times past prided themselves
on their loyalty to the Republican
party. They have claimed that in.
dividual preferences should give way
before the great interests of the party.
and that its success should be regarded
as more than personal triumph. But
now they have adopted course eaicu.
lated to produce the most mischieyous
effects upon the party, if their purposs
is to continue the contest by asking 9
reelection"
The Tribune 10 even more decided
and we clip from Its article the follow
ing:
"The question is whether Roscoe
Cox king can be elected to the S0nate.
openly avowing his intention, If elect
ed, to make war upon the admins
tration and the Republican party,
Though he were to make very dif.
ferent professions, there would be no
doubt as to his intention. Unhappily.
his vindictive spirit in too well known
to New York. A certificate Of re-
election he would regard as O priva-
teer's commission to ravaRe and de-
stroy at pleasure, until the Republican
party should see at to submit 20 his
will. The question il whether the Re-
publicans of Now York wish to issue
letters of marque TO this political pri-
vateer, TO make whatever mischief he
can for the next four years.
"The past is past. Mr.. Conkling
was a vigorous Republican leader, and
there are many Republicans who were
sorry TO see him commit political sui-
eide by causeless resigns ton. But
his act was utterly without excuse.
de had right to vote as he pleased
upon the nomination of Mr.. Robert
son. But he had no right whatever to
throw up his trust from the Republic
cans of New York, to desert tine Re-
publicans and the Inder endents Of the
South, and to leave the control Of the
Senate in Democratic hands, because
he could not have his own way about
one Office"

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact. 1oa
In the first place we make
clothing enough so that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness Of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
shances on anything but the
safest Of everything?

The daily gazette., 1881-05-20

Mr.. vESSoR predicted In his Almanac
for 1881 that safer" May 10 hot weather
might be expected. This came true. But
he told nothing about the pending cold
snap, which began On the 18th. He
oracularly tells US that "after the 18th
bush iires will break out in certain dis
tricts." If any such broke out anywhere
about here they were speedily put ont
by the rain. The seer, however, quail
Res his remark about "bush fires" by the
saving clause "although thunder storms
are also probable on the 18th and 18th" /"
We surely did have thunder storm on
the night of the 10Th. But Mr.. Vennor
gives us no probabilities at all for the
10th, 18th, 18th and 18th days Of May.
