The Plain DeaLer "explains away its
complimentary allusion to the "Old Breck
"inridge Democrat" and triumphantly
calls upon US to declare for or against GER
tain expressions on the suffrage question
in the District of Columbia ascribed to the
President by "ths distinguished Sena-
"tor." We are unable to appreciate
the Dealers anxiety on this subject, when
we remember that the LEADER has ever
been the consistent advocate of the equal
ity of all men before the law. We
have been the constant and uncompro-
missing supporter of universl suffrage, not
only in the District of Columbia but
througbOat the length and breadth of the
land. To these sentiments we still adhere,
and we expect to abide by them through
all time. We have never allowed any of
the thousand and one "reliable rumors
set afoat by "eminent statesmen or
distinguished Senators to disturb our
equanimity or cause US to run muck in the
political world. So long as the President,
the Congress and the politicians are true
to the country and to free institutions,


we shall give them our cordial support.

a scheme to fit out an expedition in this

He says that at this time he will not
