ment was not Immediately successful. but
four years ago at the national republican
convention at Chicago it bore fruit in the
abolition of the unit rule, eliminating it
from the conventions OF the party.
This result was not accomplished without
agitation and discussion and the undoubted
evidence that it was regarded as great
reform step in the interest of purer poll
tics and the return to the people Of q
power which properly belonged to them.
But Notwithstanding the good example
of the republicans in abolishing the unit
rule, sustained by Independents, and en-
dorsed we believe by the greater portion
of the democrats. the supporters of Grover
Cleveland in the Chicago convention have
forced this rule upon that body, against
the protests of very large proportion of
its numbers, so that thereby Cleveland
can control the full Y votes of his State
instead of little more than half of them,
and thus pave the way for his nomination
as candidate for President.
If this be a specimen of reformer Cleve-
lands methods. his nomination would be
the complete triumph of bossism in the
democratic convention, and the turning
back of the tide of popular reform inaug-
urated by the republicans. Every man,
be he republican, democrat or independ-
ent, who desires to see the rule of the
people prevail, should stamp such pro-
ceedings with his disapproval.

Among the important bills killed by the
House is the one to provide for the settle
ment of disputes in counting the electoral
vote. The House wanted to deprive the
Senate of all power in the matter. and to
deny the State Governments the right to
decide upon the validity of certificates
given---a position which a democratic
House would never have taken except in
the hope that it might be enabled by its
numerical majority to count in demo-
cratic President not elected by the people,
Just as it has seated democratic contestants
for whom the people did not vote. The
failure of the bill is altogether preferable
to the passage of bill to give partisan
majority in one house power to steal the
Presidency.
