say that politics may be conducted on

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

this lawful action. Two wrongs never
make right, but a wrong when as
open and fiagrant as this should be right
ed at the first opportunity. Again, the
Republicans do not need this vote as it
will in no wise affect the situation, either
as to legislation or the Senatorial prob
lem.
The Court sitting as returning board
had no right to exercise that right, to
20 behind the bollots as they were in
the boxes. But the Senate has un-
questionably that right. The contest Of
Mr.. Ross before the court was made
merely to establish contest, and was
withdrawn to save the time of the
judges. the Kent county case, the
contest was before the Judges sitting as
court of law and not as canvassing
body. Therefore, there is comparison
between the actions OF the two courts.
The certificate OF Mr.. McNulty merely
/ sets forth that on the face of the re-
turns, he was elected Senator. But the
contest of Mr.. Ross raises the question
of right and wrong. If it was right for
the Democrats to block the election and
deprive gps citizens of the right Of fran
chise by force and fraud in the Third
Election district in the city Of Whining
ton, It win be wrong to seat Mr.. Ross
IL this action was wrong then 1t would
| be not only condoning the offenSe but
becoming parties to the wrong not tc
seat him. And that is all there rs to the
question. There il and should be nc
politics, either factional or partisan in
the matter. 1t matters not what party
or faction Mr.. Ross belongs to, his con
lteat should be settled on It's merits. And
if the facts are as the Morning News
sets out in its views columns, there /:
only one side to the matter.
