comments. We notice that Con

failure Of this bill, as he it was who

inally succeeded in bringing the
vote to Il tie, thus defeating the
measure. 1t seems to US that the
much Landed "honest John" Whita~
ker, OF Oregon, deserves more cen
sure than any other one person in
connection with this matter. He was
whipped into the ranks by demo
Gratis, and induced to change his vote
to negative after he had voted for
the bill. If he had been true TO the

have secured the passage of the bill
by all means. 1t is but just to Mr..
