 land ln attempting to restore a de
 bauched and disgraced Queen Co
 the throne of tEe Hawaiian Islands
 has been sustained by the demo

 The laws that insured the right of

 to east his ballot on election day.
 and to have that ballot fairly and
 honestly counted, has been repealed,
 and those citizens whose interests
 are vitally affected by the free trade
 idea of the democratic party have
 been refused hearings before the
 senate finance committee. which
 committee Is to take up the notor-
 lous Wilson bill and steer it through
 the senate of the United States
 with as few changes as possible.
 All this has occurred in the short
 space ot one week, and all has been
 accomplished through the insidious ! efforts Of the democratic party. It
 IS only another link in the long
 chain of eyide4ce which goes to
 demonstrate the total incapacity of
 the democratic party to manage
 the affairs of the national govern
 ment wisely and judiciously. It
 was almost impossibla, under the
 the conditions which surrounded
 the democratic party, for the major
 lty m congress to have pursued any
 other course than one which sug-
 gests indecision, imbecility, lack of
 leadership, want of concert or pur- !, pose and incapacity to fathom pub
 lie sentiment. The reason for this
 IS obvious. The majority of the democratic party is composed of in- congruous, repellant, and repugnant
 elements concentrated at the time
 of the election of Grover Cleveland
 as president of the United States in the year 1892
 By strict party vote in the
 House of Representatives, resolu-
 tion introduced by Representative
 McCreary, of Kentucky, to sanction
 the action of President Cleveland
 m his Hawaiian policy, was passed.
 Never, until the present administra- tlon assumed control of the affairs of the government, has the Ameri- can Union been compelled to blush
 on account of its foreign policy; never before in the history of the
 United States, has a President of free people endeavored to over throw weak republic, and set up m Its place anotoriously debauched and disgraced monarch. This is what President Cleveland has done, and this IS what the House of Rep resentatives, which is controlled by an enormous democratic majority, has sanctioned.
 The action of President Harrison's | administration in regard to the 1 Hawaiian affair has been condemn 1 ed by the democratic party, and the | fair name of Ex-Minister Stevens has been dragged in the dust. The unlawful appointment of para
 mount Minister Blount to visit the Hawaiian Islands, and,to present an untrue report, has met with the hearty approval of the democratic
 party. All this, however, did not pass without the protests of mem bers of even the democratic party.
 That old and scared veteran of the late war, Daniel E. Sickles, of New York, rose in the House, and balan- ciDg himself upon his crutches. de- dounced the course of the demo cratic party and predicted that if such a course was continued. it would mean complete annihila- ton of that party and the restora- tion of the party which has, for 30 years, dominated the affairs of the Government.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. To- Special correspondence. - The action of the party in control of the government in the senate and of the capitol, has been no- torious. By strict party vote, the last remnant of federal protection to all sections has been wiped from the statute books. The bill to withdraw all right of supervision, by federal officers, which passed the House sometime ago, under the leadership of that confederate from Virginia, Representative Tucker, I has passed the Senate. The fed s eral election laws were abolished in { the interests and for the further ance of democratic frauds in New York state; the State of Delaware, a and a few other points which are a still grounds of contention between s the two great political parties.
 Even during the period that these a laws were on the statue books, hon a est elections could not be obtained l Q in the southern cities. where sup n pression of republican votes is not ' denied even by members of the a democratic party. While this bill V was under consideration in the Sen b ate, Senator Hoar, who was one of t he champions and earnest support srs of the measure, stated in the $ course of his remarks: This law h las been approved, not only by the party but by large of the people. Wherever c .neTe lS CFeNIct lu bne pTOtecltOu h ,f the freedom Of the ballot, there \ -ou will find the democratic party {" rying to break through. Wherever V ye have left open an opportunity lt O get possession of an office con h rary to the true and strong will of h he majority, there you will find 1T hat party pressing and exercising O m ingenuity which even the inven- i've genius of the American peop.e A nislead in either direction fails and tl 5 insignificant in comparison. R here are senators seated on this h oor now coming from states where W l order to get a majority, one dem lC cratic House has proceeded to h urn out of other states one after lc mother lawfully elected member is l order that the great percentage tC United States senators might be cl cquired. m There is no doubt but that ma al lrity of the people of this country D os, -. flat tba nofinpal a,ovarnp,apf a,
