When chairman Young announ-
ced his decision which was in ia
vor of Foster the McEnery men,
bers of the committee filed long
protest and withdrew dissatisfied
and denounced Mr.. Young in very
abusive and insulting language.
The McEnery papers are wild
with rage and denounce the action
of the committee in most violent
terms. This was to be expected
of that faction. At the beginning
of the session of the committee
those very same papers and lead
ers thought good deal of the ho-
nesty of chairman Young and
praised his rulings as fair and i'm
partial, but then those papers ne
yer expected that such revolving
and nauseating frauds would be
revealed and come to the surface,
that would turn the result against
their candidate.
We believe in the fairness and
honesty of chairman Young, and
his decision is just what the no.
nest Democrats expected, and all
true Democrats are bound to sub
NIT to the decision or bolt.
We will not he surprised to hear
of some greedy and disappointed
politicians bolt. but the good and
trusted Democrats of the state
will rally under the standard of
true and honest Democracy, the
standard of Murphy j. Foster.

A very curious statement is
made in a dispatch from Column
bia, 5. c., to the Philadelphia
Press. In regard to the quorum
counting rule Senator Hill is Iuo-
ted rs saying:
Mr.. Reed stole that ruling bo-
Oily from me. | ruled tho same
way against the Republicans when
L was presiding officer of the New
York senate. L had my reasons
entered on the journal, and Mr..
Reed took them and made use of
them in his own case" Senator
Hill said he might have used this
as capital for himself, but he saw
the Democratic party was being
benefited by piching into Reeds
position, and he didn't say any
thing about it's having been sto-
len from him."
The correspondent evidently
misunderstood the Senator; there
never was any secrecy about the
precedent established by Mr.. Hill
while lieutenant governor. We
do not admit that precedent in
Legislature governs III Congress,
and the main ground of complaint
against Mr.. Reed was that he de-
clared a quorum present when he
was not authorized by the rules to
do SO. But Speaker Reed cited
this ruling by Mr.. Hill as one OF
his authorities; there was no theft;
the Speaker acknowledged his in
debtedness to the lieutenant go-
vernon mt the time.
