II. English, father of the contestant and an eX-
member of Congress, has violated his privileges
as an eX member entitled to access to tho floor
of the House, by lobbying for his son. Nothing,
of course, will come Of it though il may serve
to keep the late candidate for Nce-prdsident on
the anxious seat for awhile and cause him to
spend more of his money than he is quite willing
to part with at this or at any time
BECAUSE THE SENIOR DESIRED IT,
Logansport journal.
The honest returns of an election board is of
little import in the eyes of the Democracy how
ever, and Peelle unseated-simply because
William II. English desired it. The honest vo-
ters Of the Seventh district will resent this in
suit next November, and return Stanton y.
Peelle to Congress by majority that will sweep
Marion Shelby and Hancock counties like a
wbirlwind.
BAD INVESTMENT -t.-es...
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. III e.1 -e,
William H. English made bad investment
for his son and his party when he had him placed
in a seat that honestly belonged to another man.
Democrats. even, were unable to swallow the
dose. Peee. who was uniustly turned out of
his seat, will have an easy victory next fall,
while the English family will be apt to sink con
siderably below the level of their party.
THE HOUSE DID ITSELF DIsCREptT.
Boston Herald.
The House did itself discredit in becoming a
seat for his son which he was unable to buy in
the election party that can make no better
use of its seventy-five majority than the Demo
cratic party has thus far done has no need Of
any more votes-especially If they have to be
stolen
NO VALID BASIS FOR CONTEST.
Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.)
The House would have done well to make
effective the decision against Mr. English, whose
claim does not rest upon valid basis and whose
efforts to lobby the majority report through
inconsistent with the dignity of the body
I'll as dscreditable to the self-respect of the

BLIND PIECE OF PARTIsANsHIP.
Kan City Journal.
The seating Of English is one of the blindest
pieces of partisan work that has ever been &C
complished in the American Congress. The fact
that the thing was done after the majority of
the House had voted that Fee'le was entitled to
the seat exposes the animus of the whole pro
ceeding.
CAPPED THE CLIMAX OF INTAMY.
Terro Haute Courier.
The Democratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives capped the climax of political in
fanny by depriving Mr. Peelle of his seat in Con
gress and giving it to Will E. English, whose
only claim to the place was that he was Demo
crat and his opponent was Republican.
THE NEXT TIME IT WILL BE SOLID.
Richmond Palladium.
OF one thing we may be sure: The next time
a congressman is to be elected in the Seventh
Indiana district the Republicans will put their
candidate in with such a majority that the SEN
ior English will not consider it worth while TO go
to Washington

ought to give it. not as a contribution, but In pay
