of the Nineteenth infantry, who was
detailed 10 investigate the extent and
location Of the movement into the In.
dian territory, hhs made report which
confirms the belief current at military
headquarters in this city that the whole
movement has been originated by inter.

disrels the idea, which gained consider.
able ground at Washington, that there
was determined and bona fide settle

port in the main. One correspondent,
however, asserts that as soon as the
military are Withdrawn and atten-
tion attracted elsewhere the squAiters
will return and take up their claims.
Several Of this class with whom he con.
yerscd said they had no desire or inten.
ton Of opposing the Government or
military, but IL was a pity 20 allow
these lands 10 be idle. They had no
desire to enter lands which were oocu.
pied and cultivated by Indians, but q
majority Of the tribe are lazy, subsist.
ug on Government supplies, and allow.
ing their lands TO be untitled. They
believe II they should once comfortably
settle on these lands the public would
sustain them in their claims and the
Government would not dare eject them.
They say it will not be long until

The Issue Joined.
return.

The Cincinnati Commercial, one of
the leading radical organs of Ohio,
seems to have due appreciation of the
breakers upon which the Republican
party is drifting by the persistent
efforts of its stalwart representatives
to retain the power in their fraudulent
Executive for the use of troops at he
polls to control the elections of the
people. 1t calls n halt, and recon-
mends them to drop this issue as
speedily as possible, and raise one on
financial questions. Too late. The
record has been made and the issue
enunciated with all the force that the
trusted leaders of the party can give
it. The Democracy have accepted
the issue presented, and will 60 to the
people rs the advocates of free elections,
uncontrolled by the Frauds marshals
or the Frauds bayonets. No back
down will now avail. The stalwarts
have blundercd, and in doing so, dis
closed to the people their animus.
Seeing their favorite appliances of
despotic power, enacted under the
Grant administration, menaced, in
blind rage, they have thrown off all
disguise and now stand revealed as the
champions of the doctrines of the old
Hamiltonian Federal school of n
strong government not amenable
to the people and with unlimited power
concentrated in the Federal Executive.
The bayonet control of elections means
this and nothing less. It was clearly
demonstrated in the last Presidential
election in several of the States, where
the count was made under the shadow
of Federal bayonets and the concen.
tration of the army at Washington to
enforce the result upon the peoples
representatives and install base, un.
mitigated Fraud in the Presidential
chair. 1t is as clearly demonstrated
now, in the struggle made to retain
these Infamous statutes for the same
work in the hands Of the present Ex.
ecutive.
On this issue the Democracy meet
them, standing now, as they have
ever stood, the advocates Of free sgf
Grage and free ConstitutiOna! Govern
ment, to be economically administered
by honest, faithful officials, account
able to the people. In discussing thii
same question the Harrisburg Patrio

"An important step has recently been

bishop whose fifty years Of apostolic and

every Catholic heart--frst movement
TO get three thousand wealthy Catholics
to subscribe each 81 900 payable in in.

scribe to tIis amount, and will be ready
to pay the first 500 when the first one
thousand subscribers are insured. We

divide in the approaching Presidential
canvass. The Republicans are tho
roughly and absolutely committed 10
the false doctrine that the people are
incapable of selfgoverument and that
the army under the control of one
man must at all times be held in readi-
ness to interpose between the citizen
and the ballot-box. The united vote
of their representatives in Congress
against the repeal of the bayonet cleo
ton law, and the repeated exercise of
the veto power by the Executive of
their choosing when the repeating bills
came to him Cor his action, have put
the Republican party on record as ut
terly distrustful of the patriotism and
integrity of the people and as fayoring
a centralized military control of elcc-
tions such as that which enabled Ma
poleon the Third to execute his coup
d etat and poll his maiorites in the
picJiscite. On the other hand the
sincere and rcsolute purpose of the
Democratic representatives in Congress
to strike from the statute-book the
dangerous and odious enactments un-
der which the army has been used to
overawe frcemcn ut the polls and
which may at any time be made the
cover under which an ambitions or
reckless Executive may assume inn
perial powers, has placed the Demo
cratic party before the country rs the
unflinching defender of popular self
government and the uncompromising
foe of political Capitalization through
the employment of military force at
elections. Thus the issue is clearly
defined. No man however humble,
however ignorant, can mistake it.
There may be Republican partisans
who fondly dream that if the veto of
the fraudulent President prevails
against congress, the Democrats can
not maintain their present position be-
fore the country. There are doubt
less others who regard it rs vital to
the issue that the appropriations shall
be withheld from the army since the
fraudulent President persists in inter.
posing his veto against the will of
Congress. Both are mistaken. The
defeat of the repeating bills by the
action of Mr.. Hayes merely puts the
matter at issue before the country.
Indeed his veto messages are simply
the pleadings on which the Repub.
lican party will be forced to 20 to
trial in 1880. Nor will the passage
or failure of the army appropriation
bill affect either the merits of the case
or the existence or condition of the
army. If no appropriation be made
the army will not be disbanded ; pay
certificates will be issued and the brok.
ers will advance the money on them.
Congress will meet in regular session
on the first Monday in December
and it will not be n difficult matter for
the war department to do without an
appropriation for the five months inter.
vcning between that date and the first
of July. So it will matter but little
practically, however grave the situa-
ton may appear, whether or not an
army appropriation bill is passed at
the present session of Congress. The
issue of free elections against military
dictation is made up and will be de-
cidcd at the ballot-box no matter what
Congress or the Executive may do in
regard TO an appropriation"
