The Hawaiian resolution means

president has a constitutional right
without the consent Of the senate
to privately send a minister plen.
ipotentiary on the extraordinary
mission of a spy and partisan of
the monarchy he wishes to re.cstab-
lish. The Democracy say, by the
passage of this resolution, hat our
president a constitutionally re-
view and revise consummated acts
of his predecessor and so overthrow
the principle of equal authority
amo"g presidents. The Democ.
racy fully indorse the acts of Mr..
Cleveland constructing a plot to
restore the rejected Hawaiian queen
on the basis of ex parte affidavits,
procured IN a surrnptitious manner.
The Democracy indorse the :hor-
oughly base attitude Of Mr.. Cieve-
land in recognizing the provisional
government OF Hawaii fallv, and
recognizing its ministers and, at
the same time, sending two agents
with secret instructions to accom-
pllsh the overthrow of that govern

As If this was not enough, the
Democrats in the senate completed

Interpretation of this proceeding.
IL taeanS that the Democracy are
opposed to the placing of proper
safeguards around the ballot AL
national elections, and desire that
the suppression of lawful voters
shall be continued, notably in the
Southern states, whence has come
me loude8t demand for the repeal
of the law. Tammany demands
the repeal also, so that it NAV be
left entirely free to nefarlousIy
operate at the polls in New York.
The repeal OF the federal election
law is burning disgrace to the
Democratic party. IL shows a
vicious tendency to outrage the
rights of voters and to favor the
7ilest element in Il national pol
tics.
The Democracy may feel proud
Of It's two acts Of the Sth. So much
the worse for the Democracy. The
country will neither forget nor for
give them.-Minneapolis .Jour,,I
