II CASE AS IT rs.

The following from the Chicago
7iulcs of the 10th is the clearest
and most impartial statement of the
questions involved III the bill relat-
ing to the use Of the military at
elections, that has come ruder our
notice. 1t would seem that no fair
minded, intelligent man ear dispute
its conclusions:
among the opposition partisans
in both houses ot Congress there is
a studied and persistent effort to
missiead the popular understanding
and excite popular prejudice 10y an
out.cry against military iatcrTtr
Cpco at elections, while on the part
OF government partiSaus this appeal
to the passions of the i-uoraut and
tboughtless has not yet been met 10y
any rational preseutmeut OF the all
important difference between mill
tary interference with the civil ad-
miaistlation and military support of
the gjyit administration when ioyci-
btv Distracted.
The difference is as wide as the
vast gulf between an absolute mill
tary deSpotism and a constitutional
government by the methods Of civil
law. Ia the former, the military

when civil administration is temper
arily INSTRUCTED by o hostile force
beyond its own strength, may not
the military power be sent to its
assistance! The answer must be
affirmative. for the negative would
tend directly to the destruction OF
civil government. The powers of
the civil executive come from the
constitution. Ia the grand words
OF Senator Davis

The national election laws are
laws made to protect the freedom
and purity Of the b%alIot-box. The
object for which they were made
can ne attained only by their eX-
ecution at the time when and the
place where an election is being
held. The constitution makes il the
office and duty OF every president to
see that they be faithfully executed,
at that time and at that place. The
executive power to be employed is
civil power; but if the civil officers
be opposed by a hostile force great
er than any they can overcome, and
if by an act of congress the presi-
dent can be prevented from employ
ing military in support of the civil
administration, then the executive
provisions of the constitution can
and will be suspended, and the law
Of the land viii be nil. This is the pos
tulate of the Bourbon demagogues
who oppose the execution of the
national election laws upon the false
pretense Of military interference
with elections and "paynot control
Of the ballot box" The best answer
TO all such Bourbonic d~emagogy has
been given 10 the words of the dis
'inguished Illinois Senator: "No
doctrine involving more pernicious
consequence was ever invented by
the wit OF man.

IT spoiled al the Democratic thun-

that lie was opposed to to the use OF

that he would be glad to cooperate
with Congress in any measure to
make such use still more impossible
than it is at present. Whenever the

by rlotous proceedings ut the polls

voters, no soldiers win ever be call

Hon. Horace Rublee has returned

that the rumor that he would not

dtsirCus Of the bootless berth, those
who know his deep interest III the
