The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1879-06-05

A smart Democrat in the Ohio
Legislature has created a bill to put
the ballot boxes for Congressional
elections three hundred feet away
from the polls where State and coun-
ty tickets are voted. This is an anti.
bayOnet bill that the President can't
bother with, and it would be just
like the Ohio Legislature to pass it.
If the Republican party insists upon
having troops at the polls, together
with lot of FOUNDERS in the disguise
Of deputy marshals, they can't OBJ
ject to having it made an exclusive
afair.-Philadelphia Times.

When Grant threatened to inter-
fere in the elections of New York in
1870, and stationed troops near the
city for that purpose, Gov. John 7.
Hoffman promptly informed him
that any such attempt would be re-
sisted, and if United States soldiers
appeared at the polls the State Ma.
tional Guard, which was held in
readiness, would be used to drive
them away. The firmness of the
Governor was not without its effect,
and the troops were kept in their
environments. 1t is now suggested
that Gov. Lucius Robinson will need
as much nerve in 1880. He has it
and will not hesitate to use if if Mr.
Hayes furnishes occasion.

In nine cases out of ten, an editorial
