way OF passing new or recalling old laws. They seek
to continue their role Of critics Of his performances
instead of being themselves performers They have
walled for six years that the president has usurped
and exercised autocratc authority in the legislative
as well as the executive branch of the government
They have called on the people 20 end his sway BY

reconstruction. They were indignant alike at his
actions and his omissions But now that he has sub
mitted 10 them a program which contemplstes rem
edies for all the conditions that war has begotten,
this republican majority is a loud voice of protest
and deuunciation.
Prest Wilson has recommended the return Of the
