WASHINGTON, D. O., February 12.-
The House having agreed to final vote
on the rules Friday evening, some of the
Republicans want TO take up the Pendle-
ton case mex. Saturday, bnt il is doubtful
if they can succeed. The indications are
that the case will not he taken up before
Monday and possibly even later. The
Republicans make no cOncsalment of their
purpose to hustle PendletOn ont, just as
they did jackson. There is nothing Judi
cisl abo1t their conduct Of these contested
cases.
Il is the bOldest, most reckless end au-
dsclOus partisanship that was ever evinctd.
Everything is disTegarded except the ne; d
OF more Republican votes in the House.
A Republican member of the Elections
COMMITTEES remarked yesterday that 20 lar
as be knew and believed all the Democrats
whose seats are contested would be urssat-
ed. He frankly confessed that be was ab-
sOlutely igoorant Of the legal merits and
phases Of these cases, saJiDg he had paid
bat little attention even to those already
argued. Being asked atOut Anderson he
replied, "Ol, yes, we'll turn him out too"
aad on the heels OF this declaration he coa
fessed that be knew nothing about the
case or its merits, but ne presumed it
would he decided like the others"
Every Democrat in Congress hopes to see
a solid delegation sent from West Virginia
next fal, and by majorities thai can
neither be questioned nor jugpled. Tae
outrageous manner in which that State is
being treated has aroused the indignation
o all Democrats and 10 the coming 6gh;
West Virginia will have sympathy and
material aid from the party at large The
course Of the REGIslER in arousing the
party to the Importance of promp, and
efficient organization, meets with universal
commendation from Democrats here.
