A Senator Who Does Not Read the Laws

A Sen ator Who Does Not Read the Laws.
This is 1. good year for tho Democracy to
redeem the Eighth SENATE district. repro
scented in tho last Legislature by the Hon.
L1spENARD STEWART. Mr.. STEWART was
elected In 1850 by only 3o5 plurality. and
thoro were two Democratic candidates in
the field with O combined vote OF l2,146,
against Republican vote Of 1904.
MARTIN T. MCMAHON is making strong
fight against Mr.. LIsPENAnD STEWART. and
deserves to beat him. Gen. MCMAHON has
positive ideas respecting the press-gag law
OF 1888. He is not afraid to express his
opinions.
Mr.. LBpENARD STEWART. on the other
hand. has never found time even to read the
Electrical Execution law. He has no opinion
on the subject OF the right OF the New
York newspapers to publish the news. He
has nothing to say concerning the attempt
Of the cranks commanded by Commodore
GERRY to gag a free press.
We do not see how any self-respecting
newspaper can support the ill-informed and
Indifferent Mr.. STEWART. Nor do We see
why any Intelligent Republican citizen
should vote for the Indifferent and Him
formed Mr.. STEWART. as against gentle
man who Is so incomparably his superior
in approaching the Importance OF guarding
jealousy one OF the most precious OF Amer
lean liberties.
