LOOMS for Lieutenant
The following is the third resolution OF
the platform:
"That the military shall be subordinate
to the civil authority, and that the army Of
Federal bayonets around the polls where
peaceful citizens are voting shall cease. The
Federal Government has no right to send
| its standing army into q State to interfere
with it's local affairs, except when called
upon, under the provisions Of the Con-
stitlition, by the Governor or Legislature,
and that the recent order OF the War De-
partment, by direction Of the President,
placing Federal soldiers under the control
OF United States marshals around the
polls in the southern States, when
no disturbance has occurred or occasion
transpired for their presence, and no State
authority has constitutionally called for
them, is an outrage upon the people and a
violation Of the principles Of our Govern
mcnt. It's menace is that Federal admins
tration, desiring to perpetuate its power,
may do so by silencing the sovereignty OF
the ballot by use of the sword.
The following electors at large were
elected: Charles r. Ingersoll and General
| William =. Franklin.
