nized each other during the extra
session is the Army bill, with
clauses f~or5idding the ) Of
troops at elections. After a con-
test of nearly three months, in
which the Fraudulent President
defed the will OF Congress, the
bill was finally passed with a Sec
ton il these words:
"Sectiou 6. That no money ap-
priated in this act is %appropria-
ted or shall be paid for the sub
sistence, equipment, transporta-
ton, CT compensation OF any por>
ton Of the army of the United
States to be used as a police force
to keep the peace at the polls at
any election held within any
State"
The Republicans leaders in the
House had become alarmed at
their position in favor OF bayoncts
at the ballot box, and were glad
of an opportunity to retreat.
When this compromise was offer
ed, Mr.. Garfield, MI. Haw!ey, Mr..
Baker of Indiana, and others OF
influence, voluntarily accepted it,
and declared they never had adj
vocated the y OF troops, that
there was no law authorizing it..
and there ought to be none III
time of peace. The vote stood as
