esterday's Post says Colonel Bisbee is
a fortunate man." Probably this
is, to him, new view of the fraud and
ballot-box stutiing which has compelled
him to enter contest to secure his own
rights and expose Democratic rascali-
ties. He has been fortunate TO be able,
against every obstacle that his wicked
opponents could put in his way, to prove
his title to his seat.
In the Forty-sixth Congress he was
seated on the unanimous report of Il
Democratic committee, without a divi-
sion of the House or even a negative
vote but not until there was no further
use for the vote of his opponent, who OBJ
tanned his certificate by unblushing
frauds from the Democratic Governor of
Florida, who refused To issue certificate
of election to Colonel Bisbee after the
Democratic encouragement and the
Supreme Court of the State had
decided that he was entitled TO it,
1t would be well for the Post TO
recall the treatment Colonel Bisbee has
received at the hands Of his opponents

his title to seat in two Congresses,

onel Bsbee's case is not good one fol

tee on, nor to advise the minority of the
House to tilibuster TO prevent the adOp'
tion of the committees report.
Finley was seated, on a contest in the
Forty-iourth and Forty-iith Congresses
and secured seat in the Forty-seventh
through fraud, which Bisbee has ex,
posed, Having occupied seat in three
Congresses to which he was never en-
tiled, Finley Is the "tortunate man." We
think Colonel Bisbee has been badly
treated. He has shown unusual energ,
and ability in maintaining his right
under the most adverse circumstances
and the House should act promptly anC
do Justice 10 him and his constituents
II is q bad case for the minority to NEE

THE habitual composure of our Demo-
cratic morning contemporary did not per-
wade its editorial reference yesterday to
the congressional contested election
cases. The rights of minorities always
were very precious in. the eyes of Demo-
cratic editors and orators, but it is only
within the past eight years that they
openly sought to include among those
rights the seats of members chosen by
the majority. Just as soon as the Repub-
lican party can enforce the rights of ma
jorities, just so soon all danger of a Bour-
bon restoration in either House of Con-
gress will have passed away When
minority candidates are refused their
seats others will be discouraged from at
