Following IN tho walse of Georgia and

I,egister, the most Influential paper In Ain
batna counsoling armed opposition to tho
United States authorities at tho forth
coming election. Tic recent instructions OF
Judge TAFT to United states Marahals to
preserve tho peace at political meetings, to
repreas all attempts to disturb them, to pre-
vent terrorism and murder, and to arrest all
parties guilty of any offense ngainst the laws
OF the United States regulating the elective
franchise, are the Immediate objects of the
seditlous and yindictiye appeals Of the Rtgis-
ter, one of which closes with the following
unnista1sallo language: "And now we say
to those mfnions of Secretary TAFT aud tho

Marshal, that the people of Alabama sha',

In estimating tho outrage On public justice
TINT has resulted from tho SULLIVAN trial, 1t
is proper to remember that there has been at
no time any popular c1nmor for this mans
blood as m atonement for his crimo. Even
at the time Of the killing, though the circum-
STANCES were OF q character to aggravato tho
natural horror in the minds of peaceful citi.
zens OF tho violent taking Of human life,
there was no effort to hound SULLIVAN to tho
DEATH. He had many friends who wern stead-
fast to him even in his criminal misfortune,
md his wife attracted wide sympathy, Of
large part of which he received tho benefit.
Tho crime was committed several months
ngo, and any public excitement TINT existed
at the time lad subsidized before tho trial be-
gan. Tho courtroom was filled, not with d
class Of people how1ing for revenge nor oven
Justice, hut with mob mado up Of partisans
Of SULLIVAN. Tho public prints refrainet1
