outgrowth of the wishes of the Republicans
III THIS matter Is undoubted That it repre-

case OF Mayor Melcher is evident. Indeed
caucuses so large and representative as those
that chose the delegates who YESTERDAY
renominated him, have rarely been seen in
this city. That the electors on next Monday

foregone conclusion, and that Mayor Melcher.

be doubt.
The ward tickets that have been selected
are unexceptionable, and there is no good
reason why any of the candidates should not
receive the full Republican vote. Some of
them have been selected after sharp contests.
but these contests have not been ill-natured
and have left no bitterness behind. We an
ticipate therefore no cutting on next Mon

sports, and he spends his summers in a de-

Referring to the intention of the Demo-
Gratis to take Speaker Reeds quorum ruling
to the Supreme Court, ex-Speaker N. P.
Banks says:
1 am glad to see that the case is to come before
the Supreme Court and have no doubt as to its
decision. Why, II the claim of the Democratic
side as 10 the law on this question were valid,
to make war on the nation, for he and his tel ow
Senators from the South could have done 1t more

be at least one man absent each day from ab-

Democrats to vote would prevent the pas

might sit for months, and there would be no
remedy. These 164 men might be acting, or
refusing to act, in pursuance of a conspiracy
which had for its object the destruction Of
the government, yet the 165 would be entire

latter might invoke the clase of the constitu-

attendance of members. but that would do
no good, for the Democratic members could

Our esteemed contemporary. the Eastern
Argus, accuses the PRESS of a want of de-
cency because 1t did not publish the letter of
acceptance Of the Hon. John W. Deering.
Had the Hon. Mr.. Deering seen fit to supply
us with copy Of his eloquent and poetic
epistle when he presented 1t to the Argus
nothing certainly would have ven us great
er pleasure than to have produced 1t in our
columns. But he did not, and consequently
we inferred that he did not care to have the
PRESS publish 1t. and as we always like to
accommodate Mr.. Deering when we can do
so without inflicting any injury or inconven-
fence upon our constituents, we did not pub
fish 1t. OF course we regret that we
misinterpreted his wishes. But we are

Our alien contract law was made the sub
Ject Of debate in the Canadian Parliament
the other night, the matter being brought
up by motion to retaliate. The general
sentiment was against anything in the shape
OF retaliation. Sir John Macdonald was in
clined to think that our law was benefit to
Canada rather than the opposite, inasmuch
as 1t had tendency to turn immigration to
the Dominion which wanted 1t. While the
general purpose Of our labor law is praise
worthy, it has no doubt, along the Canadian
borders worked some hardships both to tie
people of the United States and to the pee
pie Of the Dominion. If it were vigorously
enforced according to its strict letter. it
might be made to break up all Intercourse
along the border, something which nobody
wants done. Some modification in the case
which should confne 1t more strictly to what
Its authors intended would meet general ap-
proval.
