CONTESTED SEATS.

There will be an unusual number of contests
over seats in the House Of Representatives this
winter. 1t is unfortunate that in so many cases
there should be a doubt. or at least dispute
about the lawful choice Of the people; but it
would be much more d!scrediabe if any other
consideration than a desire to do exact justice
should influence the decision Of the House The
Republican majority in that body is SO large as
to remove all temptation TO an arbitrary exer-
else Of power, and there is no reason TO fear
that passion and prejudice may affect the result
of any contest. as there might be If the parla
mcntary forces were closely matched. But per
haps there is some danger that an opposite ten
dency may be manifested. For purposes Of
legislation an overwhelming ascendancy Is not
infrequently embarrassing and injurious TO the
political party possessing IT, and ii would not
be strange il Republican members Of the House
should regret on some accounts that they are
in so large majority. But they have no excuse
for being Indifferent to the rights Of any con
situcncy or the claims Of any contestant Every
