Compromise Plan Traced to Power Grab in Senate
The article argues against a proposed Compromise Commission to count electoral votes, warning it would transfer counting power from the President of the Senate to an unknown arbiter. It cites Democratic motives to secure Tilden’s defeat and Republican fear of losing constitutional safeguards, urging understanding of what Congress would surrender. It laments threats and political maneuvering and stresses fidelity to constitutional procedure.
