Whether ihe motive was an overzealous, headed impulse to Americanize the Legislature or a cold-blooded political schéme to eliminate a group of votes that threatened to represent a balance of power annoying to party leaders in the present ses- sion, the summary action of practically the whole Assembly, Democratic minority included, stands as} an ugly blot on the State's legislative record. If Speaker Sweet thought the way to larger polit- ical fields lay along this route he made one of the worst mistakes that ever blighted a political ambition. Where was the man with courage and true Amer- icanism to stand up in the New York Assembly last Wednesday and declare with all the power and force of the conviction that was in him that this mad perversion of American principles should not and must not be? Had there been such a man he might have found the people of this Commonwealth enthusiastically setting his feet on the path which Speaker Sweet will never tread. Such opportunities come.
