La the April number Of the Forum Maya
zine, Senator Hoar has an article on "the
Fate OF the Election BILL" From the Demo-
cratic papers Mr.. Hoar has received great
deal of abuse for this article, which is I'M
doubleday the best evidence possible that
they cannot answer his logic. Those who
understand and believe in the election bill
will be interested in what Mr.. Hoar says
but the article is especially to be commended
to those who have believed some OF the
Democratic cries about ''force," "bayonets,"
etc. No man who reads Mr.. Hoar's article
with an honest purpose to inform himself
can fail to be convinced by its logic. One
portion OF the article will be found to con-
tain some facts humiliating to every Repub-
lican. 1t is that part In which Mr. Hoar
speaks OF the failure of the Senate to bring
the measure to vote. Senator Hoar has no
word of blame for any of the traitors who
sold him out and sold out their party; but he
presents copy Of the agreement entered
into by Republican Senators which speaks
louder than any words of blame could.
This agreement was as follows;
We will vote, L. To take up for consideration
election BILL and keep it before the Senate, to the
exclusion OF other legislative business, until it
shall be disposed of by a vote. 2. To make such
provision as to the time and manner of taking the
vote as shall be decided by a majority of the Re-
publican senator's to be necessary in order to Sc
cure such vote, either by general rule like that
proposed by Mr.. HOar. and now pending before
the committee on rules, or by special rule of the
same purbort applicable only to the election bill.
This agreement was drawn up during the
latter part of the first session of the last Con-
gress, and was signed by majority of the
United States Senate. AS Mr.. Hoar says,
ut entitled the friends of the election bill to
the assurance that 1t would be brought to a
vote at the short session." The charitable
mantle of senatorial courtesy has thus far
shielded the traitors and sneaks who went
back upon this agreement. They are un-
worthy, not only of the high office which
they hold. but of any other office in this
country; and If they are ever found out
their constituents will probably impress the
fact upon them.
