securing popular majorities. Divided int
squads suited to the circumstances unde
which they are to act, these hired bu'lie
are to be distributed over the State to vote
if possible and if not to intimidate peaceablt
citizens in the exercise Of their right Of suf
frage; if this does not accomplish the pur

masses around the place Of voting, bluff of
