'Fundamental principles cannot be assassinated and a great historic rec ord cannot long be falsified." "If wholesale breach of solemn and unqualified promises to the peoplo constitute a statutory crime" Judge Hull said, "every reactionary Repub- in leader, State and national would, under a plea of guilty, be In custody of tho law to-night.
