THE VETO.
t
President Hayes Gives His Rea-
sons for not Approving the
Anti-BayOnet Bill.

Special to the Ledger.l
WAsHINdToN, May 12.-The Presi-
dents message, vetoing Ladd's anti
bayonet bill, was returned with the
bill this afternoon and read in the
house Of representatives. 1t is quite
long. making about four thousand
words. He. says that in his
last veto he endeayored to show that
no additional legislation was necessary
to prevent interference with elections
by the military or naval forces of the
United States. He goes on to reeite
at some length what he said and
sought to prove in that message. He
says
1t is with very great regret that |
am forced to the conclusion that the
bill before me is not only unnecessary
to prevent such interference, but is a
dangerous departure from long-settled
and important constitutional princi-
pies. The true rule as to the employ
ment Of military force at elections is
not doubtful. No intimidation or CO.
ercion should be allowed to control or
influence citizens in the exercise of
their right to vote, whether it appears
in the shape of combinations of evil.
disposed persons or of armed bodies of
militia Of a State or of the military
force of the United States The
election should be free from ali forci-
BILE interference. There has been and
will be no violation of this rule under
orders from me during this admins
tration, but there should be no denial
of the right of the national govern
ment to employ its military force on
any day and at any place in case such
employment is necessary to enforce
the constitution and laws of the
United States. 1a
1t will be observed that the bill
exempts from general prohibition
against the employment of military
forces at tne polls Two speclned cases.
These exceptions recognize and con-
cede the soundness of principle that
military force may properly and con-
stitutionally be used at the place OF
election when such use is necessary to
enforce the constitution and laws, but
the excepted cases leave prohibition
so extensive and far reaching that its
adoption will seriously impair the
efficiency of the executive depart
ment Of the government. m
The President vetoes the various
acts beginning with that of 1892
authorizing the use of the military in
the e=;eution of the laws. He con-
siders this an ancient and fundamental
law, and after giving his argument at
length declines to approve the bill
which takes such authority from the
executive.

CONGRESS-.
The Journal and the Record Cor
reCtiOn in the House.

WAsHINGToN, May l2.-HoUsE-
MIR. Cox called attention to the peti.
tiOn presented by Mr.. McCord on Sat
urday, and printed in the Record
stating that a longer continuance OF
the session is fraught with danger tc
peace and with disaster to the finan-
cial commission and interests of the
country that the measures inaugu-
rated by congress threaten revo.
luton and strike down all safeguards
to free and unintimidated ballot, and
that this improbable session should
be speedily terminated. t
Mr. Cox characterized the petition
as an insult to congress, and said he
objected to the petition at the time !;
therefore it should not have been
printed "
A long discussion ensued, Mr.. Cox
insisting that the petition should be
struck out of the records and Mr..
Conger taking the ground that that
would be improper and that the only
proper remedy was an expunging of
the petition by action of the house,
and in order to have that action he
insisted the petition should be read
so as he could know what he was vot
ing on. r
The speaker (alter quoting prece-
dents in support of this petition)
stated that the house had control over
the Record as much as it had over
the journal, and would therefore sub
NIT the question to the house. He
intimated that if he had his own will
about it he would let the petition stay
in the Record for what tits worth. If
the objection to the petition had been
noted by the reporter and inserted in
the report it could not have been
printed in'the face of that objection.
Therefore the correction of the Record
by inserting the objection would nee.
ossarily exclude the petition. The
discussion was protracted. fsIi
Finally, the question was submitted
as to whether the Record should be
corrected by the insertion Of the OBJ
lection, (the speaker stating that such
correction would necessarily exclude
the petition), and correction was or
dered, The speaker, thereupon, con.
