No Danger.

Anattempt on tine part of the Third-party
men, or of anybody else, TO throw the
election Of President into the House OF
Representatives at Washington need not
be feared. If the election were thrown
into that body each State would cast one
vote. Tha. i. each States delegation
would be polled. and a. went majority of
the members so would vote the whole dele
cation. Virginia. for example, has ten
members of the lower house Of Congress
all Of them Democrats. SO Virginia would
cast one vote for the Democratic candi-
date for President. The forty-four States
would all be polled in like manner; and
each State would record Its vote for Presl-
dent Is II majority of It's delegation d.
rected. Not fewer than twenty-five States
would vote for CLEVELAND, leaving nne-
teen TO be divided between HARRISON and
the candidate OF the Peoples party, or
whomsoever the other indictments might
cast their votes for.
SO we may set 1t down as certain that
unless the Democratic party shall take a
notion TO throw the election of President
INTO the House of Representatives it will
never be sent to that body. But even the
Democrats cannot AFFORD TO pursue such a
policy. Tho people wish to have voice
in the election of President, and would be
apt to resent at the ballot-box an attempt
to take that privilege away from them.
Therefore. 1t might be dangerous even for
the Democrats to attempt TO play such a
Game.

The Force Bill and Mir. Harrison.
The Washington Post has great faith IN
the ability of President H,sRIsoS to render
his own election sure. That paper SAYS;
ave seriously believe thai Il Mr.. Harrison
were to publish formal statement 10 the eject
tina, he is now satisfied that the force bill OF the
last Congress, il nos approved by the country
aud that he would In the event OF his re-Hlectioh
discourage a renewal Of that measure. there IL
nothing that could defeat him next November
Indeed We 20 further and de'lare that should
he pledge himself and bis party 10 the enac'loh
and strict enforcement " q nstionGl election
law embracing the essential FEATURES OF the
Ausirsan-baliot system, pure aud simple ne
woull no, only iisarIn all the most Formidable
opposition TO him at the South. but would
actually enlist tho sympathy OF three or four
States" &c. g..
Mr.. LINCOLN was wiser than the Post.
He said that nobody ought TO swap horses
in the middle Of the stream. In racing
when a horse lets down the end OF the
race has come So IN politics. So IN the
case Of Mr. HARRIsoN. II he were TO do
what the POS' supposes would strengthen
him he would be a party TO his own dis
astrOus defeat.
Suppose Mr.. CLEVELAND were to come
ont in a card recaating his opinions On the
SILVER question. and sayin. that he would
not veto bill providing for the free com
age Of the white metal. Would such a
card strengthen or weaken him: We are
decidedly Of the opinion that It would de-
tract from his strength. Or suppose that
he were to come ont for protection.
Would such a course make him President
Of the United States No. indeed. 1t
would leave him friendless and homeless
without friends as politician. without
any party wherein he could make his home.
Oh, no: Mr. HARRISON has no intention
TO cleo. Mr.. CLEVELAND President, and 50
will not come ont against the force bill.
The battle-cries are already settled. No
one man can reduce or increase their num-
Der or add TO the popularity or unpopu-
larity OF the same. st the same time, We
must own that It would afford Us great
satisfaction 10 know that Mr.. HARRISON
was unwlse enough to follow the Posts
suggestion.
