Making Up by Fraud What It Lacks in
Numbers.
Since the close of the civil war the
history of the republican party is one
~unbrokeu, continuous record of the
fraudulent and corrupt overthrow of the
popular will If it ever had a mission
the people recognized that its mission
was ended when peace was declared
between the states. Since 1855 it has
been the minority party in nearly all
the states that it has from time to
time controlled, and for the last
quarter of a century it has been the
minority party in the country. How,
then, has it contrived to retain posses.
sion of power2
The evil of the carpet bag govern
ments established by the republican
party in the southern states did not end
when those governments were swept
by popular uprising against them in
those states. They furnished the ex-
ample OF government by force and
fraud in defiance of popular will,
which has found republican imitators
all through the country. They taught
the republican leaders how to steal the
presidency in 1876, and since that cri me
no offense against the ballot and repre-
sentative government has been too
gross to republicans to halt be-
fore attempting it, no wrong has been
too shameful if a party majority could
result from it.
The republican majority in the
United States senate to-day is eight.
How is it made up? The two repub-
lican senators from Montana occupy
seats obtained in as lawless a manner
as if acquired by force and held by
brute strength. The honest vote of
Silver Bow for members of the legis-
lature in that state was perverted in
order that by fraud a doubtful repub-
lican majority in the United States
senate might be strengthened. The
two republican senator's from Connecti-
cut m~isrepresent a state that year in
and year out casts the greater number
of votes for the democratic nominees
who are as regularly counted out by
the election machinery, by comparison
with which in its efficacy to defraud
the people tissue ballots and dishonest
inspectors are as nothing. Frank His
cock holds a seat in the United States
senate through the continued defiance
of the constitution of the state of New
York. Every word he Atters and every
vote he casts is a false and lying ex-
preston of the sentiment of New York,
shown at election after election. New
Hampshire, by a fraud, is represented
by a republican, when at the polls her
people expressed their ehoiee tor .

Gar Reed Attempts q Continuance q
His Bullying Tactics.
Ex-Speaker Reeds attempted criti.
cism of Speaker Crisp's ruling on the
question Of a quorum in congress
was ill-timed and pointless. It was
worse even than that for it was
the malicious effort of q baf1ed and
disappointed usurper to vent his rage
upon a man who respects the constitu.
ton and the rights of the representa-
tives of a free people, Mr.. Reed is so
pulled up by the recent decision Of the
supreme court sustaining his quorum
counting rule that he fails to discern
the distinction between upholding a
rule and the propriety of establishing
such a rule. If the late congressional
z a possessed average discretion he
would be very quiet upon the subject
of a quorum in the presence Of a man
who, when their positions in the house
were reversed, proved than a
match for the temporary autocrat.
There is another reason for Reeds
silence on this point which he would
appreciate if he were not insensible to
humiliation, He led his party by his
revolutionary practices to the most
disastrous defeat in its history. Any
man not having the skin of a rhinoc-
eros would in Reeds place feel keenly
the shame and disgrace of that defeat
But the ex-speaker, like a genuine re-
publican, ignores the crushing condem-
nation of himself and his rules by the
final arbiters, the people, and finds
cause for gayety in the technical ruling
of a court. The mockery of his pre-
tended smartness is strikingly shown
by the absence from their seats of some
two hundred republican members of
congress for whose defeat at the last
election he and his rules are largely

uNRELIAeLE
Republican Hopes That Have Never Besn
Fulfilled.

Republican Hopes That Have Never Besn
Fulfilled.
The republican prophets are again
sending forth their cheerful messages.
Senator Allison predicts that Gov.
Boies cannot carry his own state if he
is nominated by the democrat for
president. Ex-senator Warner Miller
just peeping up from his three years
berth outside the breastwork, predicts
that the republicans will surely carry
New York. And other optimistic mem.
bers of the same party indulge ia
equally hopeful auguries.
It is the old story. In 1889 Senator
Allison predicted that Boies would be
beaten-but he wasn't Last fall the
senator was cocksure that Boies would
not win, but he did, and by an in
creased plurality, on the largest vote
eve cast in Iowa.
As for New York-well, a recollec-
ton of the republican prophecies for
the last seven years is enough to make
Mr.. Depew's "brass monkey stand up
on his hind legs and laugh his head
off. Every year the democrats were
to be beaten, destroyed, buried, wiped
out, annihilated. And every year the
democrats have won. Last year the
republican prophets were in full cry.
Miller, Hustled, Platt Fassett, Shep-
ard, ven the cold-blooded George Bliss
all prophesied the success of their
party.
And yet they were beaten by nearly
fifty thousand votes. The World led
them all at prognostics 1t estimated
the democratic plurality within less
than n Thousand votes Of the official
count
And it tells all these too-previous
prophets now that the next president
will be a democrat. Let them stick q
pin there.-N. Y. World.
