Constitution was impregnated with a poisonous germ; a precedent had been established for the guidance of future generations. The strong right arm of the Senate, intended as a protection against the cry of the mob, was made weak and helpless: principle had been sacrificed for political expediency. In conclusion, may I say, that I have stated my individual opinion upon 1 subject that I think is of the utmost importance to every State Union and to the Nation itself. no quarrel with those who disagree with me. It may be said that as a result of the Senate's action, it will {be a long time before any political party spends so much money for a nomination. That may be true, but I say in reply that it will be a much longer time before the United States Senate uses any such excuse as this to deprive any man or any State from its proper representation in the United | the violation of & fundamental prin- ciple.

By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, December 20.— William S. Vare came to the city from his Atlantic City home yesterday for the first time in two weeks, to attend the wedding last night of a son of State Senator Samuel W. Salus. He declined to discuss politics. “I am here,” he said, “for the sole |. purpose of attending the wedding and will not make any statements on politi- cal affairs” Mr, Vare appeared in health and did not show any effects of the set-back he suffered in health shortly after he was rejected by the Senate two weeks ago.

I say there is no such discretion- ary power, and when the Senate uses any such power it is using an arbitrary power and is violating the plain pro- vision of the Constitution. Are the States of this Union to be put in the pasition of submitting a questionnaire to ‘the Senate of the United States before it goes to the trouble and expense of electing one of {ts citizens as a representative in that body? Are they to be told by the Senate that the qualifications mentioned in the Constitution are the affirmative or minimum qualifications, and that the Senate reserves to itseif, not only the constitutipnal right to determine the election of such members, but also bt v to pass upon his general fitness to rep- Yosent the State from which he comes? | Y.

In the Vare case the Senate was so anxious to fix the salutary precedent of refusing to seat a man who had been a candidate for nomination on » ticket to elect which a large sum of money had been ded that it was willing to fix & precedent that gives it the authority to decide by majority vote what manner of man a State may expect the Senate to accept. ‘The Vare case has passed into his- tory, but the people of the country may well take warning.
