Dingley bill as it now stands. They in

by that measure. In so doing they put
themselves in opposition to President Nc

ment They do not mean to pass meas
ure which, in its present form, threatens
party disaster and defeat. They intend
to amend the bill so that the author him
self will not recognize it when it is sent
back to the House. They will stand by
their amendments until the House gives
in, be that until the expiration of the
present Congress. They have given
heed to the warnings Of the Democrats.

can grow no worse. With all its power

elected a Legislature more thoroughly
disreputable than the one which has just
ceased to inf1ict itself upon this State
