The article presents political news from the United States. The U.S. Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections resumed last Saturday the examination of the witnesses in the Kellogg-Spofford case. The principal witness was a mulatto who calls himself Do Lacy and says he is of Irish parentage, his grandfather having been "Sir Hugh de Lacy." The Ohio Democratic platform is a commonplace rather than a "ringing" document. It demands "free and fair elections," insists that the laws enacted by Congress under pretence of "regulating the manner of Congressional elections" are unconstitutional and ought to be repeated, and that they are also "instrumentalities of fraud, force, and corruption."
