Thoro 1b a good deal of good, aobor

It In Bottled that Bourno Ib tho "cholco

of tho Htato, but how ninny members

many of them bollovo that as between
him and any ono of half a dozen other
men that might bo named, neither
using any monoy to Influonco votes,
Bourno could get a majority? Tho
proposition Ib absurd, and legislators
know It.
Hut, It l eald, thoy aro bound by
tho result of 111 primaries and olec
tlon hiBt Hprlng. Lot thorn bo honost

would eiiBlly huvo found nn oxcubo;
thoy would havo nld that thoy had a
mental rosnrvntloii In BubBcrlblng to
that Btntomont, nnd mount to cnnflno
their votes to a Hepubllcnn. Yet thoy
could not havo dono bo and kept the
ntrlct letter of their promise, If such
it was. And they might well havo
had another montnl reservation, that
thoy would voto for tho nopubllcnn re
ceiving tho highest number of votes
last April, provided ho was a fit man
nnd got tho nomination In a fair and
siiuaro contest with othor candidates.
This would havo boon only a fair,
propor, Bonslblo mental modification
of their pledge, for Biiroly tho people
do not want to elect nn unlit man or
ono who bought tho olllco. It would
bo far hotter to depnrt from a foolish
promlBO mado in tho excitement of a
cnmpnlgn, than to keep It by olocUng
such a man. And thoro Is no doubt
that ii majority of tho pcoplo would
not only forglvo ft member for using
his honest Judgment noxt wlntor and
acting in their Intorost, but would
fully approvo such au act.
