HONEST ELECTIONS.

The silver men have put the Election bill
aside by their votes. but have discovered that
they were u,ed as catSpawS by the Democracy.
and are now laughed AT for supposing that Dem
ocratic votes for the Silver bill were over in
tended to pass it. The most prominent Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency comes for
ward to invite the approval Of mankind by re-
sstng free coinage exactly aS Republicans have
been resisting H. His followers, whether many
or few, are certainly enough to prevent the
passage OF any unlimited coinage bill over a
veto. Under these circumstances, do silver
Senators feel satisfied with their position?
There never was any good reason for the de-
feat of the Election bill. except that certain
silver Senators wanted Democratic support for
their pet measure. 1t was in a peculiar degree
a bill on which the decision OF the House ought
to have been accepted, because it concerned the
election Of members Of the House and nothing
else There was something very like unfair
ness. not to say indcceucy, in the conduct Of
Republican Senators who had been pledged 10
support this measure. and who nevertheless re-
fused. and assumed to dictate 10 the House how
members of that body should be elected No
other measure was more explicitly required by
pledges OF the Republican National platform
and no other was deemed by the Democratic
marty more dangerous TO It's future. In the face
Of its virtual confession that it meant to carry
elections by fraud, and that this WAS necessary
to Democratic success, a few Senators were
found to help that party in its emergency.
1t is not too late for the silver Senators, or
enough of them, to show that they will not be
assistant Democrats any longer. Their obl;ga-
ton they have met only too well, as respects the
Democratic party, and they are left stranded
between the two parties, used as tools but not
rewarded by one and Justly censured as faith
less to pledges by the other. 1t is no more than
their obvious duty to Republican associates in
the House 10 assist in passing the Election bill
if that is still possible; and they have learned
by this time that in sacrificing Democratic
gratitude or favor, they sacrifice nothing.
1t takes some courage to rctIace 4 false step,
TO be sure. But the silver Senators must row
realize that the popular Cutcry upon which they
relied is net 50 important as they imagined.
The commercial communities of the WcS, as
wei! n, of the East are protesting against ther
course with singular unanimty and carnostncSS.
At the same time If their eyes are Cpen to
passing events, they perceive that a great body
of Republicans in every part Of the county re-
gard the defeat of the Election bill with ex-
treme disiavor, and are disposed to hold to
