6. Williams, of Wisconsin, in lis elo-
quent speech last week Expresses this
SO forcibIy that caI.not better please
| Wisconsin people tiiaa giving an ex-
tract from his speech.
ut seems to me, Mr.. Chairm;;n, that
| this whole matter resolves Itself into d
| question, first, of jurisdiction; second,
o. power; and that under whatever ju-
Irisdiction elections be held, whether
State or National, two things are alb
solute and Indispensable purity Gtthe
ballot 6oa; peace at the polls. j. is
idle to talk about an election any where
unless these two things Can be secured
and whatever power may be necessary
Ito secure them should be exerted or
representative government is a fail
ure. II all the power OF, the Govern
ment is required to secure them, then
|all the power Of the Government should
Ibe put forth, whether exerted through
| the State or National administration.
However the power be applied, the or
der and climax of it's application is the
same. If it be under the jurisdiction
OF the State, then, in the first instance,
there stand the courts, back of the
Icourts the sheriff, back Of the sheriff
The posse conitats1s, and back of all the
militia. If it be exerted through Fed
eral jurisdiction, then. in the same or
der, there first stands the courts, back
of the courts the marshal, back of the
marshal the posse, and beyond all as q
final and last resort the Federal troops.
| Wherever the power be lodged the es-
sence and common sense of the thing
is the same. Physical force in some
form is necessary to overcome resis-
lance to civil law, and the physical en-
forcement of civil law ends first in the
policeman's club and last at the bayo-
net. There has been good deal of
talk, and even on the part Of Republi-
cans, about " bayonet rule in this
country, which if I may be allowed the
expression, l think borders on the nom
senscai if not the absurd. 49,
Sir, know and have read of no gov
eminent in history, or that exists to-
day which does not rely ultimately for
its preservation and authority on coer-
Give force as a last resort, and whoev-
|er talks about q government without
this, in my judgment, talks of Utopia.
The one government on earth which
has come nearer to it than all others is
this self-same government Of ours, the
Government of the United States. Il
know of no bayonet rule here except,
first, to win independence and main
tain God-given rights; and second, to
put down one of the most cruel and
causless rebellions that ever cursed
