1t Is now conceded on nil stdos that tho
President will roturn tho Army bill with liis
d'snpproVM' ono OF his chiet reasons Tor
fhas action Will DO tic mnuhor IN which 1t
has loon sought to coorco LIE acquiesconco
by attaching tho proposed amendments to
m appropriation Dill. Ills ob1octions to tho
amendments themselves may not appear un-
til tho Legislative Dill bhatl come before him,
Tor these objections arc lnrgely bascd upon
tho connection hotweon tho army a'nond-
mehta hla the amendments OF tho Election
law which form d part of tho Legislative
bill. The veto Of tho Army bill

upon amending tho statutes Of 1866 will
