No Suppression !

OF course there is mo suppression Of the
vote in the southern states ~ Any one
can see that by looking at the number of
actual voters and comparing this number
with the votes polled.
For instance, In Alabama In 1880 there
were 14G,4G whites and 1898 colored
males over 81 years Of age, while the vote
in 1859 for governor was: O'Neil, Demo.

IN Georgia the total number Of white
males in 1850 was 1885,, and colorcd
1871. The vote for congrcssman,at-
large IN 1852 was-Iiardemau, Democrat,
$3.50; Forsyth, Republican, 23, I45; that is,
32 per cent. of the total voting population.
IN Ohio, the same year, the vote for secro-
tary Of state was G32, lS0, while the total
male population of voting age IN 1850 was

Too Much Discretion.

The Warner silver bill has elected an
amount Of discussion altogether dispropor-
toned to the practical importance of the
scheme; for it was clearly apparent, as soon
as the leading features of the measure were
made known, that it could not possibly be
adopted by Congress.
Without giving any consideration at this
time to the more important provisions of the
bill, we may mention one of its minor de-
tails, which would suf1lc. to defeat the en-
tire plan even II it were as satisfactory as it
is unsatisfactory in other respects.
While Mr.. Warner and those who are with
him, or behind him, in this enterprise pro-
pose to repeal the compulsory coinage act
the act compelling the coinage of $2000,0)0
q month-they put in lieu of this free
grant TO the Secretary of the Treasury OF
the right to coin just as many silver dollars
as he may deem eXpcdient.
Experience has demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction of the country that It
Is better for Congress to regulate the cur
rcncy than to leave its regulation to the
will Of any official or class Of officials.
This objection is not based on political or
personal considerations, but is applicable
at all times, no matter what party may be
in power.
Congress will not delegate the enormous
power proposed to be lodged In the head
Of the Treasury Department. 1t is quite
too broad range of discretion. Such
legislation would be danger In itself, and
very dangerous as precedent.
National Republican., 1885-09-29

THE REPUBLICAN is not able to discover
any good aud sufficient basis for the ccner-
ally prevalent impression that, when Con-
gress meets, there is to he war between the
Democratic President aud the Republican
Senate.
There has never been any reason for he
lievipg the industriously circulated and
long-lyed report that there was a meeting
Of the Republican senator's last spring at
which resolution was adopted placing the
majority of the Senate In an attitude of hos
tlity TO the executive.
The story lacks all the essential elements
of probability now as conspicuously as 1t
did when llrst brought out. II smacks
more Of a caucus Of ward "hcelersn than a
meeting Of dignifcd and decorous states.
men charged with the great aud grave re.
sronsibiities which the constitution de-
wolves on the representatives of states in
the most august legislative body on the
globe.
From time to time during the past three
or four months there have been reports that
divers and sundry Republican senators had
voluntarily sent to the President positive
assurances that he might depend on their
votes for confirmation Of his appointments.
These stories have attained wide publicity,
Tut TnE EEpuBLIcAS has not been able to
detect In any Of them trace Of anything
like probability. We know Of no Ropubli-
| can senator who Is so consummatcly asinne
as to bind himself by an unsought pledge to
"Co It blind" I'm relation to public duties
| which he is bound by oath and honor to
discharge conscientously.
President Cleveland, or any other man in
his place, would have a hearty contempt for
a senator who should so far forget the pro-
rrictics of his own and the Presidents re-
| spcctive offices as to offer such promise.
The Republican Senate will not make war
on the President because hc is a Democrat.
Our system of government would be fatally
defective If it recognized political differ
ences between the two branches of the eX-
Ctutivc mechanism as valid cause for
strife between them.
The President will be assumed by senators
to have acted on his own judgment and
conscience in making nominations. Each
senator, in "the advice and consent" which
he gives or withholds, will, in like manner,
be assumed to have acted on his Judgment
ard conscience. The President is not re-
sponsihle to the Senate, and senator's arc
not responsible to the President. Each
senator is as free to consult his own views
in deciding whether to vote for or against a
nomination as the President is to do what
