Arr. Bailey's persistent endeayor to
prevent Major General Joe Wheeler
from serving as member OF Congress
Through strict construction of tn con-
Sstitution which does not. in the provis-
ion under which the Texan NQkes &c
tion, refer in any way TO the volunteer
service id a time of war as an office
within its meaning. is not calculated to
strengthen his position as leader of the
Democratic side of the house.
Bailey disguised many Democratic
members at the last session by his ar
bltrary conduct, and his proneness TO
strain himself to make technical points
that were Unnecessary and done merely
10 obstruct and delay emergency war
LEGISLATION. In the face OF all the pre-
icedents furnished by the civil war for
permitting officers in the volunteer SER
vice TO serve in Congress. and to be
elected to Congress- Bailey is deter
mined to 'test'' the matter now, to
crafty his InordInate passion for rais-
ing technical objections TO any and
everything that does not suit his fancy.
Bailey lacks the essentials of real
leader. one of the most important being
his intolerance and lack of conserva-
tlsm and proper regard for public SEN
tlment. Sailing under the banner Of
Democracy, which boasts Of being a
representative Of the people, Bailey is
doing his best as leader to get as far
away from that principle as possible.
The public has not forgotten. how,
when legislation to provide for war ne
cessIties in n moment Of great emerg-
ency, he used his position as n party
leader in the house 10 obstruct aud em-
barrass measures with technical obJec-
tlons. while all the country wan de-
uandlnE quick action. This character
istlc is cropping out now In the Wheeler
matter.
Perhaps a broader minded end less
captIous leader could do much to popu-
larlze a degenerate party and redeem
It in the estimate of the country; per-
haps man, who. learning the lesson Of
past history, could get 1t into his head
that there is distinction between the
representative In Congress who leaves
his desk to give his experience and his
patriotic service to his country on the
battlefield. voluntarily. and political
ofilceholdcr, or one occupying a lucra-
tive civil Office in time OF peace, might
gain greater favor with the public than
the obstructive stickier for technical
points.
