10 the above it will be seen that Mr.
Garfield goes squareIy back on all that
he and his party have ever SAID, claim
ed or done with reference TO the use
OF the army at the polls. In spite OF
the fact that during tho Grant regime
troops were used boldly and openly at
polling places IN the South ior the pur.
pose OF trying elections for the Radical
party, this man from Ohio now has
the brazen impudcnce TO get up IN
Congress and state that there never
was a law on the statute books which
permitted such rascaly proceedings
Have Mr.. uarheld ana his party oeen
Tor some four or six months lighting
the repeal Of law which DID not ex'
lstY In q short speech following, Mr'
Cox, OF New York, exposed the whole
cowardly policy of the Republican side.
Said Mr. Cox
Mr.. Chairman, / may not occupy
more than FIVE minutes, in view OF the
very pleasing division on the other
side. Evidently they have not re.
treated in good order. There is rout
in the camp. But the gentleman from
Ohio { Mr.. Garfeld) covers his retreat
very handsomely in large rhetoric,
with some thunder from on high to
help him. His remarks show the mere
briaum Julmen, without lightning, for
he did not strike anybody except our
friend from Wisconsin (Mr. Wiliams).
| understan d the motive ofthe gentle
man. They want, II posshle,to keep the
army Tor one section and for one pur'
pose and they VIII do anything; they
wills acrifice all that they have said in
the extra sesslonior that particnlarpur
pose. They know now that they can
not use the army in the solid South
They are willing TO give up all that
they have said they retreat lnglorl'
