ssue is the record of the Republican party in

more recklessly defied precedents, more fla

cverturned traditions, more seriously invaded

oUsTING OF DEMOCRATS.
When the present congress convened in De-
cember last. the republicans had a majority of
tnree IN the House of Representatives. Which
was soon increased to eight by the admission
OF representatives of new states. Eighteen
| contested election cases were submitted to the
committee on elections, all but one brought by
republicans and that one by man who after
wards ted with the republicans as a condi-
tlon OF his being seated In order to facilitate
Cae process of counting democrats out and
republicans In, no rules were adopted for
then only when the loud prote st
of the country made it impoltic to outrage
public sentiment longer The House proceed
ihgs were conducted on what the speaker called
seheIal Parliamentary law, but what, in fact,
was his own arbitrary will. The most sacred
parliamentary ;hts guaranteed to the mi
fnority during century of the government were
tlgnored. With the brute force of the majority

THE TARIFF BILL.
After discussing the tariff 80 far as it re-
htes to the interests of the farmers, the
governor continued as follows:

neTlcan farmer in the matter of tariffs
