Troops to Protect Democratic Ncgroos.
The New York JFOyII mukos somo

The New York IForlH mnkos some
admirable practical suggestions
concerning the troops which Don
Cameron, acting under orders from
Licutcnant General Zach Chandler,
will straightway proceed TO dis b,
tribute through The States of South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Let the negroes every.
where, says the ll'orId. understand
the truth. There are many local.
ties where those colorcd mon who
wish to vote the Democratic ticket
are oStracisrd and threatened with
violence by negroes, stirred up to
such deeds by disrcputablc white
men, who pocket the profit and
leave their dupcs to be killed. The
troops arc sent South to protect
these colurcd Democratic voters in
the exercise Of the right Of suffrage.
Let them understand tins. If there
is any place where there is II proba
bility That colorcL Democrats will be
mtcricrcl with, let the local Demo-
cratic committee confer publicly
with the the United States Marshal
ON the subject. If he then applies
for troops, well and good if he
declines to do SO, let his answer be
made public ; it may be Of use later.
If any Republican orator undertakes
to deny that these troops aro sent
South to AFFORD protection to tho
colorGI Democratic yutorS, ascertain
why they are sent and make his
statement public. Every Republic
can declaration that the army is to
be pr"stitutcd to party necessities,

The Bayonet Ordor.

Tho circular issued by tho De
partncnt of Justice, monstrous us ii
Is, will not prove surpii isc to the
country. Ever since the restoration
of tho entente cortiiuic between
General Grant and Hayes it has
been oyidont that the administration
intended to employ force to procure
the election of the Republican can
didato for tho Presidency. The
ordor of Attorney General Taft,
which meets the Presidents np~
proval, is the Legitimate fruit of
this coalition between corruption
and ''rcform." While nominally tho
order applies to the whole country,
really ii is intended to be applicable
to and will be enforced only III the
South. There are one or two
Southern States which the Ropubl,
cans hope that force may carry for
their candidate. Realizing the
danger of their situation they arc
struggling with the energy Of de-
spair to obtain the electoral votes Of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisi..
ana. Hence, by All official order,
the Administration has turned over
tho South to the tender mcrcics Of
partisan United States Nlurshalls
and their deputies the number Of
these deputies being absolutely I'M.
limited. These irresponsible. cor
rupt and ignorant pnrtis:ms arc
made superior to the civil and the
military authorities. State officials
arc subordnatcu to them, and tho
military may be used Whenever they
give tho order. Peace officers Of
the State are wholly ignored, and no
legal process can be employed 60
check the fraud and violence which
these men are employed to commits
But notwithstanding its outrageous
character, We do not believe that the
Attorncy-Gcncrals circular, which
"has been submitted to tho Presi-
dentand has his approval, will do tho
Republicans any good OF the Demos
Gratis any harm IL is mere hyHt,tu
Juimen that will react against It's au-

the party which employs them and
