William n. Rutan, who lives on farm

ur1,r UAS TIE MAJORITY TO SATi

During the week the Democratic majority
which controlled legislation at Albany this
wear has been sharply arralgned at the bar OF
public opinion from two sources, acting mae
nondently of each ether. On Monday was pub
lisbed the address to the voters OF the State IN
relation TO the record Of the Legislature which
had been prepared by committee OF Sen
,tors and Assemblymen representing the mi
poritv members of that body. On Wednesday
Mr. Kempner, Democrat who sat in the As
sombly as the representative OF the With DIS
trict of this city, delivered an address upon
the same subject before mass-mceting OF his
constituents. The address and the speech
taken together constitute one OF the most en-
pbatic and powerful condemnatlons that was
ever passed upon State Legislature.
Now. what do the members of the majority,
tho Democratic Senators and Assembymen,
nurpose to do about it? Do they intend to
remain quiet under these indictments? They
arc charged with incompetency and infidelity.
They are charged with extravaganza in hand
ling the public purse. They are charged with
betraying the interests of the taxpayers-first
by refusing to reform the tax laws, and second,
by raising the tax rate. They are charged
with making series of outrageous raids upon
the rights of cities. They are charged with
cndeayoring to work the practical disfranchlSe-
mcnt of the farmers. They are charged with
stealing seats in the Senate and securing the
passage of bills by fraud.
1t is unnecessary to dwell upon the gravity
of these accusations which have been framed
against the majority by responsible persons
representing both Of the political parties. Tn
less they can be disposed Of those whom they
affect have richly earned permanent retire
mcnt from public life. Can they be disposed
of? Do the members Of the majority seriously
argue that they served the people rather than
the bosses during the session? Is there a
Democratic Senator or 4 Democratic Assem-
blyman who has the nerve to attempt to reply
to the Republican address or t. MIR. kempncr 5
speech? Our own belief is that the members
Of the majority will not attempt to make
reply: that they will remain Is dumb as 80

that no reply is to be made which Will not
