Senator Chantller's Good Work.

Senator Chandler, Of New JIampslirc,
is doing great and good work in the
Senate, and we hope that the Senator
Will give him the widest latitude TO in
form the body what he knows about
naval contracts and Southern elections.
Senator Chandler has Just offered two
important resolutions in the Senate.
One relates to the Navy Departments,
and calls for official information as to the
cost OF plans designs, drawings, specili-
cations, etc, OF ships or engines, re-
celved from foreign countries; also for
chs ngcs made in original plans of several
vessels designed al d contra ;ted for by
Mr.. Chandler when Secretary and also
for contracts made for naval vessels since
March 4, 1885.
There is no man III tho country who
knows more about crookcdncss in naval
contracts than Senator Chandler, as most
OF the widespread crOUicGnCSS ANA ap-
pa!ling waste which Obtained under pre-
vious administrations were planned and
carried out by Mr.. Chandler either as
outside manager under RObtSOn or es
Secretary Of the Navy unler Arthur. He
knows exactly what is wrong in both
present and past naval contracts. and he
is just the man to hunt for it. Let the
inquiry into naval contracts, and see that
Chandler doesn't weary of the hunt when
he gets back Of 1885.
Another great and good work started
by Senator Chandler is bill he lntcly
introduced to regulate national elections.
What Senator Chandler doesn't know
about regulating Southern elections isn't
worth knowing, and he may be accepted
as standard authority on tic subject 4
man who conceived, organized and exc
cutcd the theft of Electoral votes of two
States III 1876, and put man into the
Presidency who was defeated by quar-
ter million NjOritY, must know exactly
what the South needs to regulate clcc-
tiOns.
Circumstances have somewhat changed
since Senator Chandler pcrpetratcd the
most mOnStrOuS fraud of our history in
LoulhiNnn and Florida. Then Chandler
had the Returning Boards in the hnuC,..
OF carpet-baggers and II |vCntuncrs, but
now 1t requires an election to elect in
the South quite as much as il does in the
North, ana Chandicr isn't happy over
the idea. Let Chandler have u chance.
OF course, he will be expected to give
some reasons in support Of his bill to
regulate national elections, and those
reasons would he incomplete without go
ing book to 1876.
Senator Chandler has opened two very
instructive ISSUES for Congress and the
country if Congress shNil give him Il
chance to exhibit ChGndIerism i'll its true
light rs Chandlerism would regulate
naval contracts and national elections, as
Chandlerjsm would present the maxi
mum of possible theft in both Give
Chandlcra chance. .-philadelphia Times.
