THE GREAT WALKING MATCH.
ENGLAND D.
America Victorious.

LONDON, June 2l.-A London dispatch
timed IL o'clock aays: The great contest
is finished and Weston is being proclaimed
with shouts and cheers the champion of
the world. Weston completed $50 miles
at precisely II o'clock, thereby winning
the belt, his bet and the championship,
From o'clock this afternoon until 8 Wes-
ton accomplished the astonishing feat of
making FIVE miles an hour during these
six hours. The excitement was something
wonderful and the plucky hero of the hour
was greeted with shouts and cheers as he
boldly plodded along against time. From
s o'clock the excitement steadily increased
and reached its eliminating point just be-
tore the finish. At 1880 Weston had
made the highest score on record, namely,
545 miles and Eve laps, beating Blower
Browns great score Of 542 miles. The
hall at this time was filled with an en-
thusiastic crowd who seemed never tired
of cheering. Weston, though evidently
suffering somewhat from fatigue, maintain
ed smiling face and was the recipient of
many friendly greetings. The great strug-
gle came to an end at II o'clock, Weston
doing $50 miles with five minutes to spare.
The pedestrian match was finished at
l0:45 p. m, Weston had made $50 and
Brown 453 miles. This beats Browns re-
cord in the last match and all previous re-
cords. About 5000 persons witnessed
the finish Weston wins his bet with Sir
John Ashley, that he would make $50
miles. Rowell, who brought away the
belt from New York, says he viii! chal-
lenge Weston Immediately. During the
closing hour of the great performance
Weston looked in good trim, and at times
went around the track like steam engine.
A large number of Americans were pres.
ent. The cheering was lusty and hearty
as Weston occasionally broke into brisk
runs.

quire. The bill now before me neither
revokes this popular right of citizens or
relieves marsbals of the duty imposed by
law, nor the president Of his duty to see
that this law is faithfully executed. l
torbear to enter again upon any
general discussion of the wisdom
or necessity Of election laws, or the dan
gerous and unconstitutional principle of
this bill and the power vested in congress
to originate appropriations, involves the
right to compel the executive to approve
any legislation which congress may see
fit to attach to such bills under penalty
of refusing the means needed to carry out
the essential functions of the government.
My views on these subjects have been suf-
fciently presented in the special message
sent by me to the house Of representatives
during their present session. What was
said 10 those messages | regard as conclu-
slve as to my duty in respect to the bill
before me. The arguments urged in
these communications against repeal of
election laws and against the right of con-
gress to deprive the executive OF that sepe-
rate and independent discretion and juhg-
ment which the constitution confers aud
requires, are equally cogent in opposition
20 this bill. This measure leaves. the power
and duties of supervisors of elections un-
touched; the compensation of those officers
unprovided for under permanent laws; and
no liability for which an appropriation is
now required would therefore
be increased by their appointment,
but the power of the national government
to protect them in discharge of their duty
at the polls would be taken away. States
may employ both civil and military power
at elections, but by this bill even civil au-
| thority to protect congressman at elections
is denied to the United States. The OBJ
iect is to prevent any adequate control by
the u nited States oyer the national elec-
tions by fOrbidding the payment of depu,
ty marshals, officers who are clothed with
authority to enforce the election laws
The fact that those laws are deemed
Objectionable by the majority of both
houses of congress is urged as sufhcien
warrant for this legislation. There arr
two laws always to overturn legislative
enactment. One is their repeal; tht
other is the decision of 4 competent
tribunal against their validity. The effec
of this bill is to deprive the executiv
department of the government Of tn
means to execute laws which are no
repealed, which have not been declared in
valid aud which tits therefore the duty of tn
: executive and of every other departmen
of the government to obey and to enforce
have, in my former message on this sui
ject, expressed my willingness to concur
; suitable amendments for the improvement
of the election laws. but | cannot copser
y 10 their absolute and entire repeal.
J cannot approve legislation which seeks
y prevent their enforcement.
