THE Philadelphia Record takes a
sensible and very correct view of the
result of the late election, observing
that all the Democratic members
who were elected from their seats
by the House Committee on Elec-
tons have been returned to the
next Congress, with one possible
exception, by heavily increased
majorities This, says the Record,
is the answer of defrauded and in
dignant constituencies to an un-
scrupulous Committee packed by
Speaker feed for the purpose of
swelling aparty majority by violating
the rights of representation. The
partisan members of this Committee
have discovered by the election
returns for Congress that there is a
public conscience in this country
which cannot be offended with i'm.
punity.
