The trustees of the bondholders of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal of 1814, by the decision of Judge Stake yesterday at Hagerstown, had their right to control the Chesapeake and Ohio canal extended for a period of ten years, dating from May, 1891. In the court's decision it is stated that the trustees have entered into a contract with the recently organized Chesapeake and Ohio Transportation Company, whereby the latter agrees to furnish all the boats needed on the cana! for transportation pur- poses, and guarantees to the trustees a net revenue of $100,000 a year. The perform- ance of the contract will be secured by sufficiently heavy bonds. The transportation company, under the agreement, does not secure exclusive rights on the canal. The present mule power on the waterway cannot be interfered with, nor the trustees forbidden to enter into similar contracts with other transporta- tion companies. i y The Chesapeake and Ohio Transportation Company will use electricity for the pro- pulsion of beats. The canal trade since its reopening has greatly increased, and the number of boats has enlarged. Its use- fulness is steadily growing. To suddenly suspend its operation while in active life, {t was thought, would not be good faith to those who have undertaken with legal sanction so great a work. In_ rendering the decision the court took no action on the labor claims, as they have not yet been before him in final shape. The feasibility of the propulsion of boats on the canal by the employment of the trol- ley system, it is claimed, has been practi- cally demonstrated. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio canal has splendtd facilities for fur- nishing the necessary force for running the dynamos. The natural fall of the canal, ac- cording to the opinion of an engineer of leng experience, would render unnecessary the use of a pound of coal or a single steam boiler. Natural waterpower could readily furnish all the force needed. The level from Georgetown to the Great Falls can be supplied with power from the vest force now going to waste at the latter point. Turbine wheels set in a race would be all the machinery needed to generate the power. The system of falls and !evels all along the line is admirably designed for such work. Every boat on the canal at present, it is said, could be equipped for electrical pi pulsion at a cost of not more than $200, a little over what their owners could get for one of the mules they now own. A great saving in boat room could also be secured, as the space now occupied for stabling pur- poses could be utilized for the storing of additional freight. By the use of the sy tem under contemplation nc damage will result to the towpath, as was at first pre- dicted, as a uniform rate of speed could be established and easily maintained. > GETS FOURTEEN YEARS. Wm. Jackson Sentenced by Judge Cole for an Old Offense. About four years ago one Wm. Jackson, alias “Black Strap,” committed a burglary in South Washington. He eluded arrest until last month, when he was brought be- fore Judge Cole. He plead guilty, and be- cause the charge was an old one and be- cause the fellow claimed to have mended his ways, the judge released him on his personal recognizance. The court told him, however, that if he should ever again vio- late any law he would be brought into court and given the full penalty in the case in which he plead guilty, On the Sth of this month Jackson robbed a man in South Washington of a watch. Monday he was convicted before Judge McComas on that charge and w: given four years in the penitentiary. Yesterday afternoon he was brought before Judge Cole, when District Attorney Birney called the court's atten- tion to the matter. Judge Cole at once re- called the old case, and as promptly sen- tenced Jackson to ten years in the Albany penitentiary at hard labor. He also di- rected that the sentence should not take effect until after the expiration of the one imposed by Judge McComas. Mr. Jackson, therefore, will serve fourteen years. —_>___ THE COURTS.

PASSAGE BY THE HOUSE OF MAGNATES es The Premier's Victory After Bitter Fight. gee GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS BUDA PESTH, June 21.—The house of magnates today passed the long-discussed civil marriage bill by a majority of four. ‘The magnates will now proceed to discuss the various clauses of this measure. a The passage of the civil marriage bill by the upper house of the Hungarian parlia- ment {s of wide importance in that country, inasmuch as {t marks the triumph of the people over peers after a long and bitter struggle. The magnates had refused to pass the bill, and {ts progress seemed perma- nently blocked when Dr. Wekerle, the pre- mier, suggested to the emperor the creating of sufficient peers to cive him a majority in the upper houye. The emperor refused to do this, and Dr. Wekerle resigned. After the vain efforts of others to form a ministry he was induced to return to office. ‘The Catholic Church bitterly opposed the bill. Special prayers were offered today in all Catholic Churches in Hungary for the; defeat of the bill. Both sides are actively prepared for the division. ‘The clerical par- ty exacted written pledges from many of its adherents. The doubtful ones were threatened with excommunication and even social injury. Nearly all the bishops and magnates arrived, some coming back even from England and Switzerland. The gov- ernment hoped for a majority of six. The fight on the bill dates from December 2 last, when two bilis for the reform of the marriage laws were introduced. The one under dispute provided for compulsory civil marriage, which would alone be recognized by the law. Those who perform the religi- ous ceremony before proof has been given of civil marriage are subject to a fine of 1,000 crowns for the first offense, and to fine and imprisonment in the event of its repetition. FOR GLADSTONE’S SEAT. The Candidate Sclected by the Liber- als of Midlothi: EDINBURGH, Scotland, June 21.—The Mberals of Midlothian have selected Sir Thomas David G‘bson-Carmichael, Bart., justice of the peace for the county of Edin- burgh, as their candidate in the contest for the seat in parliament for Midlothian, which the Right Hon. Wm. E. Gladstone, who has held it since April, 1880, has only consented to retain until the next elec- tion. Sir Thomas Gibson-Carmichael is the eldest son of the Rev. Sir Wm. Carmichael, thirteenth baronet. He was born March 18, 1859, and has not yet sat in parliament. He has unsuccessfully contested Peeble- shire and Selkirkshire. Sir Thomas Gib- son-Carmic! was married in 1886 to Mary Helen, eldest daughter of Albert L. Nugent, esq. SAMOANS STILL FIGHTING. Skirmishiug Between the Rebels and the Government Forces. (Copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press.) AUCKLAND, N. Z., June 21.—Advices from Samoa, dated June 14, reachéd here today. According to these dispatches, the Brit- ish warship Curacoa and the German war- ship Bussard visited the locality of the rebel camp recently and notified the rebels that if ten chiefs and fifty guns were sur- rendered no attack would be made upon them by the government forces. ‘The rebels sent ten chiefs and fifty worth- less guns on board the warships. On the Sunday following the visit of the] s} warships to the rebel camp the rebels fired upon a village where Chief Malietoa Was supposed to be attending divine service, and advanced upon the village itself. ‘ne rebels, however, were repulsed by the gov- gu forces, with slight loss on both sides, When these dispatches left Samor skir- mishes were taking place between the rebels and the government forces, but there had been no severe fighting. Marriages in Paris and Lond PARIS, June 21.—Mrs. Emily Meredith Readstout, an American lady, was married today to Mr. Edward Spencer at the Amer- ican Church, on the Avenue de 1’Alma.

LONDON, June 21.—Mr. Arthur Barratt of New York was married at 2:30 this af- ternoon, at St. Peter's Church, to Miss Edith Wiatt, the daughter of Lady Mary Wiatt, the widow of Sir Matthew Dixby Wiatt, the eminent architect, who died in 1877. ‘There were three little bridesmaids, and Mr. J. R. T. Robertson was the best man. Among the guests were Lord and Lady Maulan Baron and Baroness De Worms, Sir John and Lady Brid; Lady Eleanor Roxburgh, . Harry ¥ilagier of New York and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. H. Stafford of New York. Secured Damages for Libel. LONDON, June 21,—Frank M. Guido, a mustictan, today obtained a verdict of £50 damages for libel against the Evening News. ‘The News erroneously announced the death of Guido, and in so doing sald that he was suspected of knowing something about the outrages and the death of Dr. Cronin, the irjsh nationalist, who was found murdered at Lake View, Chicago, on May 22, 1889. ‘The News Getlared that Guido was the trusted agent of the Irish extremists in London and in America and that his pro- fession served as a blind. LONDON, June 21.—One of the biggest stock owners in the United States, it is an- nounced, Mas cabled an offer of $75,000 for the sixty-two yearlings which are to be sold at Cobham on Saturday. As the year- lings belong to twenty different people, it 1s impossible to accept the offer. It is stated that a similar offer has been made yey queen's stud, which is to be sold in July. _o The Lutheran Outing.

The will of the late Patrick Quirk was filed today, by the provisions of which the estate Is left to the widow of the deceased, Johanna Quirk, who is named as executrix. MR. HILL’S SPEECH! — (Continued from First Page.) the rumors of foreign war and these tax- ridden patriots relapse into a state of loyal submission. “It is," he said, “a gratifying fact that no such income tax as prevails in England or in any other monarchical government or as is now proposed in the United States in the pending bill is permitted to disgrace the statute books of the repubiic ef France. France has no income tax, because she has learned to love liberty, to hate inquisitions, to detest class legislation and to respect the | rights of property.” Federal and Local Taxes. The advocates of an income tax, said Mr. Hill, fail to appreciate the important and controlling fact that tariff or federal tax- ation is not the only taxation inthis coun- try. In addition to federal taxation there exists, state, county and municipal taxa- tion, to which every man of property is more or less subjected, and that such state, county and municipal taxation combined exceeds in amount the whole tariff taxa- tion of the general government by over two hundred and sixty million dollars. We have no right to shut our eyes to these facts. In framing a system of federal taxation, which shall justly and equitably reach the citizens and property in the respective states of the Union, it becomes our first duty to inquire as to what general sys- tem of local taxation exists in the states. |Is there a tax upon consumption there or @ tax upon property? These are most per- tinent questions to which we should care- fully address ourselves. In the first place } we should seek to avold duplication of tax- ation, The general system of taxation among the states is a direct ad valorem tax on real and personal property. In addition to these, some states have taxes on corpora- ticns, incomes, ete. Some other system should be used’ by the federal government. What other is left? The Constitution an- swers the question. Congress is expressly given the power to impose an indirect tax in the form of revenue tariff duties, and ae bower is expressly, prohibited to the a ‘This is essentially a war tax. Heretofore we, as democrats, have clamored against it and others like it. Look at the spectacle which we now present. “If this is true democracy,” he said, “I went none of it. If this is the best leader- ship which we can present in this great crisis, I, for one, must decline to follow it. I prefer to stand with Jefferson and Jack- son and Tilden in opposition to all income taxes and direct federal taxation, but in favor of a revenue for federal purposes and direct taxation for state purposes. A False Democracy. “I repudiate the spurious democracy of these modern apostles and prophets, who are part mugwump, part populist. and the least part democratic, who seek to lead us astray after false gods, false theories and felse methods. I object to our restoring a war tax, which the republicans themselves rejected years ago, with our approbation. “TI protest against that lack of foresight and judgment upon the part of some pro- fessed democrats, who always seem anx- fous to adopt whatever the republicans and people have repudiated. There were those who vigorously opposed the issue of greenbacks during the war. But when re- publicans after the war sought to curtal and restrict their further issue these men became the earnest champions of a green- back currency and sought to mefge the democratic party with a greenback party. | “They opposed the policy of a return to specie payments, and then when the specte | payments became an accomplished fact | they clamored for paper money. Then sub- sequently they espoused the cause of + metallic currency, and became the earnest advocates of free silver—the free and un- limited coinage of silver—but soon there- after, with characteristic fickleness un- worthy so great a cause, they accepted the Bland compromise measure, which provided simply for a limited coinage. Then the re- publicans in 1800 passed the Sherman lay which provided—not for the free and wu Mmited coinage of silver the same as gold, but for a limited coinage, and the purchase and storage of silver bullion, treating it as a commodity interest instead of a money metal, a measure which violated every cor- rect principle of finance. Although the dem- ocratic party opposed that measure and de- nounced it for three years, and demanded its repeal in their national platform, the present advocates of an income tax when the opportunity for action came last year strenuously opposed its repeal in Congress = three long months. They are the same ort-sighted men who four years ago made the air of the Capitol resound with their denunciations of ex-Speaker Reed's rules, and recentiy turned around and adopted the substantial principle involved in those very rules, amid the laughter and ridicule of the whole country. “Mr. President, I cannot follow such | leadership, which shifts and turns and tem- porizes upon every public question; which compromises every well-established demo- cratic principle for which the party con- tended when out of power; which stands ready to adopt every passing ‘ism’ of the} hour; which surrenders principle to expedi- ency, and pursues no consistent course from one year to another. If political su cess of my party is only to be purchased by such methods and such sacrifices, I fer defeat and the preservation of m: respect. “Mr. President, the national victory of 1892 meant a reduction of the tariff; it did not mean an income tax. It -lid not mean an invasion of state rights, a usurpation of ate privileges, nor the abrogation of state sources of taxation. “It did not mean direct taxation on the part of the general government. It meant a tariff for revenue—a reasonable reduction in tariff duties, and substitution of revenue duties for prohibitory duties wherever the latter existed, the placing of raw materials on the free list and the restriction of the revenues to be raised to the actual necessi- ties of the government. This was the pol- icy to which the party was solerin!y com- mitted. Cr so of Existing Evils. “The evils of the hour from which the people are suffering arise largely from an Inadequate and disordered currency, and a bad financial system, dating back from that evil day in 1873 when free bimetallic coin- age ceased in the United States. “It is state and local taxation from which the people are also suffering, which is double that of the federal tariff taxation. Look at the financial condition of the states whose representatives here are especially | Jealous or anxious in urging the substitu- tion of income taxes for tariff taxes. “Tennessee, whose able representative in the House (Mr. McMillin) is the real au- thor of this income tax provision, but whose | sense of fairness and propriety for which | he is noted should have led him not to in- | sist upon Inserting it in this bill, but if at | all, in a separate measure, is staggering | under the load of a state debt of $19,005,- 974; Missouri, whose senior Senator (Mr. Vest) is largely responsible, voluntayjly or compulsorily, for much of the present bili, has a state debt of $11,759,432; Alabama, j taxation for its revenues, This is the oft-repeated answer which is made to every objection raised. I assert that it is not a tax upon wealth per se. Wealth is property, either real or personal, and this ts @ tax upon neither. It is a tax upon what a man earns—upon his thrift, his industry, his capacity, his pluck, his savings, his ‘prudence; but it is not a tax upon wealth—upon what he actually has. It is not a tax upon what a man has really | acquired, but it {s a tax upon what he is) earning or acquiring—a tax imposed in transitu, while wealth is being earned or acquired. Incomes are uncertain with men of bus! ness—they have large incomes one ycar and large losses the next. A tax once paid cannot be restored, and there is no method of equalizing the tax for a given period of | years. A man may earn $10,000 one year | and invest it in his business the next rear and for five years annually lose money, until he has lost all or more than he hi earned, yet he paid the income tax—not | upon the net result of five years’ business, but upon the result of one year’s venture. ‘An income tax works manifest injustice because like all war taxes it is founded upon no principle. That is the very nature | of a war tax. It reaches out for whatever is in sight, regardless of justice, circum- stances or results. Income is not property according to the usual or proper accepta- > tion of the term. It may be due, but rot realized—it may not have been reduced to possession, it cannot always well be reach- ed on a sheriff's execution. Taxation should be imposed, not upon in- comes which are usually variable and un- certain, but either upon property or upon importations. The general government should not endeavor to monopolize both the direct and indirect methods of taxation. The property of the country, its staple and acquired wealth, should be reached by direct taxation, while indirect taxation reaches whatever we consume. Of course property or wealth per se is not reached by a tax upon consumption, and is not intended to be. That ts left to be reached by direct taxation. | The advocates of an income tax point to this or that weathy citizen who owns houses and lands without number and com- plain that he pays no more taxes to the! general government than the poor man who owns nothing at all, but supports a whole family. That may be true, although usu- ally it costs more to support the rich man’s family than the poor man’s, and hence the rich man pays more under a tax on consumption. But even if that were other- wise no injustice is done anybody. “No one expects that any one system of taxation is to reach every class. We must not forget that while there is one general government, there are also forty-four states, with local systems of taxation of thelr own. Our Union is one body, united like the ocean, but divided like the waves. The Constitution contemplated that the general government would resort to tariff and that the states would resort to direct taxation upon property, and together ‘the two systems would work harmoniously together, and reach all classes and all property, and our fathers before us #o construing the tution, inaugurated the present system of tariff taxation which has been in existence from the foundation of the government. The rich man owns the houses and lands and pays state, county and municipal taxes | thereon according to their value, and he | pays his tariff taxes besides upon whatever he consumes. “The poor man, however, who owns no property, of course, pays no state, county or municipal taxes, but simply ,his tariff taxes. “If income taxes should be substituted for tariff taxes then the poor man would pay nothing, either to the state or local or national governments. No person should be exempt from all taxation—both direct and indirect—simply because he owns 10) property. “The statistics show that 80 per cent of our population o' no taxable real or per- sonai property whatever, and hence they pay no direct taxes. The only the 80 per cent are reached at all is through tariff taxes—a tax upon consumption. The Con- stitution imposes no property qualification as a condition of being entitled to vote, but it fully recognizes manhood suffrage. \The Po Man's Vote. “The poor man’s right to vote is strength- ened and entrenched by the fact that hesis not a drone in society, but that, while he pays nothing for police, fire and other local purposes, nothing for lighted streets or good roads, nothing for the maintenance of courts of justice or for schools where his children are educated, yet he does pay his share of taxes upon consumption through the imposition of customs duties. His enemies are those who would suggest the substitution of the income tax for these tariff taxes, whereby he would pay nothing whatever for the support of his state or national government. The same constitution which guarantees manhood suffrage—that is, the right of every citizen to vote whether he owns prop- erty or not—also provides for taxes upon consumption in the shape of tariff taxes, and forbids the states from imposing any tariff taxes, and this is the most significant fact in my judgment, because it indicates that It was the intention of the framers of that instrument that manhood suffrage and | texes upon consumption should go hand tn | hand together, and when you destroy the | one you undermine the security of the other. Will some one tell us why eighty per cent of our people should escape all taxation whatever, as they would if income taxes should be substituted for tariff taxes? It is never desirable in a free government, especially, or, in fact, in any other govern- ment, property should pay all the taxes. What good reason can we urge for any such discrimination? Are property owners the only ones inter- ested in the maintenance of government? Is property the only thing to be protected in the administration of public affairs? Let us take a broad view of the situation, @ non-partisan view—a view free from dem- agoguery, and from clap-trap and unawed by popular clamor and uninfluenced by un- intelligent criticism. “I respect what ts called public sentiment when it is right, but I detest and defy it when it is wrong, unreasonable and arro- gant. It should never be allowed to swerve us from our sense of official duty. We, should not mistake a healthy and an honest public sentiment for a mere clamor, and an outburst of passion, or a freak of preju- dice.” Senator Hill presented several tables of to show that the amount of revenue | by the tariff bill as now proposed would b2 amply sufficient without recourse to the Income tax. A Reference to Mr. Gorman. “The great compromiser of the age—the distinguished Senator from Maryiand (Mr. Gorman)—while personally expressing his dislike of this tax and regretting its adop- tion, yet, with that spirit of conciliation which always characterizes him, reluctantly accepts it, has seen fit to suggest that it may be denominated an ‘emergency’ tax. What ‘emergency,’ In any proper sense in which that term ‘can be used, has arisen which justifies it? None whatever. “There has simply been a falling off in the usual tariff revenue, occasioned by the tem- whose influential Senators have obtained | for her a tariff duty upon iron ore, and not satisfied with that violation of democratic | pledges, now demand an income tax, in | order to fulfill populist promises, has a state | debt of $12,413,196; Texas, the Versatile and elastic free trade sentiments of whose ju- | nior Senator (Mr. Mills) permit him, with- | out inconsistency, to vote against free iron | ore and for free lead ore, against free sugar and for fre wool, but for an income tax al- ways, has a state debt of $4, 515; Louts- jana, with a sugar tax of $43,000,000 imposed upon the whole country for the incidental benefit of her own sugar Industries, cannot | | be heard to complain of the hardship of | other tariff duties, or to demand an income tax in place thereof, while her own state debt amounts to $16,008,585. | “They have taken pains to fix the exemp- | tion high enough so that their states will | be compelled to contribute little or nothing. It Is the great democratic state of New York which they are after—that is the | state to be punished. Its chie? city, which has always been the target for every re- | publican attack, is now to be raided by Its | own party friends In Congress.

The ordinary rou- Une of business will soon be resumed and the usual revenues will be flowing into the treasury. “Mr. President, it has been difficult to fathom the motives of the finance commit- tee in their insistence upon deferring their proposed duty upon sugar until January, 1s). ‘The committee, it must be odmitted, did not very successfully defend the propri- ety of their action. Their attitude has placed them in an awkward and unpleasant | Position, inviting much criticism which might better have” been avoided. “Sir, can it be possible that their well- known anxiety to retain the income tax pro- vision in this bill has led them to postpone the date for the operation of the sugar tax in order that there might be created an ap- parent greater necessity for this income tax? If so, it is understood. Some other pretext, some other excuse, some other sub- terfuge must be invented. Mr. President, this is a most important question fraught with fearful consequences, In New York, as well as in many other states, certain stock corporations created by the state, such as railzoads and trans- companies, certain insurance companies, electric and power companies, and divers other corporations, are elther by the terms | of their inccrporation oz by law required to pay—in addition to the ordinary direct taxes upon their property, certain spectal taxes upon their earnings, dividends or busi- | ness, someti calied a franchise tax, or | - neme, which taxes go, in- directly, to the support of the state govern- ment. As a lawyer, as well as a Senator, I contend that the general government has | no constitutional power by means of an in- | come {ax to reach or disturb any of the | revenues of that class of corporations. If this bill shall pass in its present shape, what a spectacle will be presented! The | federal and state gove:nments each reach- ing out for a porticn of the earnings or in- come of these corporations! Which is to have the preference?

It is @ most extraordinary provision which could not be justified even in a time of war. It will cripple, embarras and throw into re- ceiverships hundreds of corporations now struggling for existence. But tt is sald that the policy of making this tax a part of the pe>manent financial policy of the government has been abun- doned in the Vest amendments, and that this tax is now to be imposed for five years only. The amendments mitigate the wrong but little. It is another miserable compro- mise between principle and policy, in which principle, as usual, is sacrificed. “The law can be just as easily repeaied whether the provision for the income tax is permanent or temporary.

If there was any other in- tention it was not apparent. “I have not had time to examine those new amendments, which are for the first time printed and placed upon our desks this morning, to dejermine whether they contain an absolute exemption of mutual savings banks or not, but from hearing them hastily read at the secretary's desk yesterday I fear they are not sufficiently broad to ac- complish that purpose. “They should be made so plain and clear that there can be no possible doubt of their intention. Argument ought not to be neces- sary to sustain the proposition that mutual savings banks should be absolutely ex- empt from any income taxation. “This government cannot afford to permit the savings of the poor to be taxed through federal income tax. It would be the crowning infamy of this bill.” The same reason, said Senator Hill, why savings Sanks should be exempt from thi tax appltes to the mutual insurance compa. nies, and he wag not sure that the amend- ments offered yesterday went far enough in this respect. This class of insurance com- panies were exempting Great Britain. He had numerous other objections to the in- come tax, he continued, objections he had pointed out in his former speech, its in- quisitorial features and the inevitable ex- posure of the private affairs of business men. None of these objections have been cause they must lie against any ihcome tax. by Order of Caucus. Why should he detain the Senate or his party associates Jonger with argument, he asked. Some of the democrats of the Sen- ate at this matter, as in others, seemed de- termined to vote not according to their con- vietions, but according to the decree of their party caucus. It was even said by some that this in- come tax provision was the best and most merito-igus in the bill. If that were so, God help the democratic party. Mr. Hill proceeded to enumerate some of the changes | made in the text of the tariff bill; changes, he sald, that repudiated the democratic doc- trine of free raw materisis, and in some cases increased the MeKinley rates; changes that hai made the bill a disap- pointment to the country. M>. Hill declared emphatically that these changes had been the result of the demo- cratic oppositicn to the income tax, and he wanted the country to understand it. The income tax had been the pet scheme of the finance committee and of the subcommittee, because the sections represented by the sub- committee (the three great states of Ar- kansas, Missouri and Texas) were commit- ted te the Income tax. They had refused to give it up. They clung to it with fatuous folly. They would yield ahything but it. There never had been an hour, Mr. Hill said, when @ tariff reform bill prepared | only on di rati¢ lines could not have passed the ite if the thcome tax had been eliminateg. Who wi dare to vote against a reform bill But the income tax was desired and popu- Ustic votes preferred to democratic votes. That was a true statement and the coun- try was entitled to it. Mr. Hill said he ex- pected defeat on this bar But he was used to defeat in the Senate, and another was a matter of supreme personal indi‘ter- ence to him. But he felt for his state and his party, which he desired to preserve from the destruction that threatened it. He had been reared a democrat, his tra- ditions were democratic and his life hud | been spent in an effort to build up the! democratic party. His and aspira- tions were all within its lines. But now he believed, he said in conclusion, that a | great party mistake was to be made, one that might prgve disastrous for any years. It wa8 @ mistake on the very thres- hold of power, and so believing he would be recreant to his duty and false to his country, his party and himself if he did not raise his democratic voice in protest [APE TONTINE _ EXPOWNEST AND PalD-UR | mndit' EDWAND N.
