The Nation: We do not say that
the use of troops in South Carolina
is not necessary, or that the condi-
ton of the South does not call for
exceptional measures but We do
sincerely believe that their use in a
canvass by an executive which is
taking an active partisan part in
the canvass, and some Of whose
members are actually candidates for
election, and the control Of the
troops by men who are acting as
electioneering agents OF one of the
parties in the field, form a step
Of great gravity which we may all
live to deplore. For we are among
the number of those whose greatest
fear about the return of the South
and the Democrats to power is not
that they will strip the treasury for
the satisfaction of war claims, but
that they will follow Republican
precedents in the unscrupulous use
of power for partisan purposes.
