To Republican Holdovers.

The prescribed method OF acquninting
the voters OF tho United States with the fact
that there has been an election for Presi-
dent, Is singularly explicit. In each State,
the Secretary Of that State. by public an
nouncement, notifies the voters Of the fact
that there is to he such an election. In n ma
1ority OF tho States. each voter receives n
ticket, or ticket. upon which the names OF
the Presidential electors arc conspicuously
printed. In all States. election day is madc
by law holiday. in order TINT its signifi-
cnnce may be fully understood.
At the close of the polls the votes cast are
publicly counted There is further can
yass bylocal and State officers. and. finally.
the latter. by public proclamation. declare
the result. Then the chosen electors meet
In each OF the several States on the first
Wednesday in December. and in formal
and public manner declate their preference.
and select ono OF their number as a mes
senger to take the returns TO Congress. On
the second Wednesday of February the
lists. duly signed. certified. and sealed. are
opened by the President Of the Senate in
the presence Of the members Of both Houses.
The votes are duly counted. and the result
is publicly declared.
On the 4th OF March, succeeding. nll ordi-
nary business is suspended ut the Federal
capital, and with appropriate parade and
pageantry the elect OF the successful party
is formally installed. and tho oath OF obc-
dience to the Constitution Is administered
by the highest judicial dignitary in tho
land. the Chiof Justice Of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
By these various and minute forms the
voters are lawfully. and in n clear. positive.
and certain manner acquainted with the re-
suit OF the election: and no misunderstand-
Ing about 1t is possible.
Yet. though nearly eight months have
elapsed since the last election. and moro
than sixteen weeks since the installation OF
the President, we find many Republican
holdovers. most OF them men Of intelli-
gence and fair perception. who do not seem
TO know that an election took place in
November. and resulted adversely to their
party. and In Democratic triumph.
They eecm to persist In supposing that
the voters. who have decided otherwise.
wish to retain their services. They seem
willing to dclude themselves with the no.
ton that there has been no such election.
They seem reluctant to get up and out.
This is a surprising manifestation of igno-
rNuce on the part Of these holdovers. 1t
imposes upon the representatives Of the
Democracy the task Of employing further
efforts to bring to their notice compre-
henslon OF what was done. decided. and
determined by the sovereign people Of the
United States on the Tuesday after the
first Monday OF last November.
Rriany the paOple resolyed and directad
that the Republican oficeholders must go:
and go they must. and as speedily as is
consistent with efficient public service.
They must make way for the represents
