THE Two-rHGRDs RULE SUPERSTITION

Is the signal for the most unoonsonab'e war
Of the fossils upon the progressive element
ia the democratic party to suggest that the
rule Of the ma ority is the vital principle OF
republican government and the iundsmen-

charm in the two thirds vote, which, OF II.
self. they say. has prevented schism and

would, il there is any principle ia the two

thirds is better than one-half, and nine.
tenths would be better thsn three-fourths.
