THE APPROPRLA TION TO q. s.
ma RSHALS WHICH MR.. IA YES
A. WOULDN'T ALLOW TO BE
e. MADE.
Except for the serious objection that the
Republicans are trying to mislead the
public by their statements OF the failure
of the appropriations to U. s. Marsnais'
their Revolutionary picture OF che matter
would he. as ridiculous as it is untruthful.
That an appropriation to support the po-
lice force of the national government
should fail through the obstinacy of Re-
PUBLICAN President who refused to sign the
bill granting it, because the bill regu-
lated the expenditure, is too grave mat
ter to allow Of its Misrepresentation and
we give its history from the record. 1t
had become notorious in this country that
under the election laws, authorizing the
presence OF U. S. Deputy Marshals at the
polls, none but Republican deputies were
appointed and none but Democratic voters
were arrested. Under the famous Johnny
Davenport at New York the laws had been
Transformed into mere machine OF ter
rorisn to be used against the Democrats.
To show the character of some Of these
Republican Supervisors and Deputy Mar
shals appointed in large cities we take a
few cut of a list of FORTY five. equally in
famous. who were appointed in New York
theswhole list being read in the Senate by
Mr.Beck, and its. tenor being as wei
known to President Hayes as to any other
citizen OF this country:

hard reputation.
With this class of United States officials
the Republicans were purifying the bal
,ct-box.u The Democrats attempted to
wipe them out by puttinga clause in the
Judicial Appropriation bill, repeating the
laws under which they were employed.
President Hayes vetoed the bill. The
Democrats then passed the Judicial Ap-
preparation bill, making every allowance
for the U. S. Courts, even to the pay of
janitors, sweepers; -everything except
marshals, the marshals' fund being left
out, becalse from that these purify ers
named above, drew their money. This
bill was signed by thu President. Then
the Democrats passed a separate bill pro-
yiding for the marshals, but not for the
PURIFIERS, and here is the bill:
"A bill making appropriations to pay fees of Uni
ted States marshalS and their general deputies:
i.Be 1t enacted &C., That the sum OF Si1 hundred
money in the treasury not Otherwise appropriated
for the tAe nseal year arshas and
ices eeAe
their general deputies, and no part OF the money
hereby, appropriated is appropriated TO pay any
communication fees or expenses under any OF ne pro
visions Of title rs of thu revised Statutes OF the Uni
ted States authorizing the appointment employ
ment or payment of general OF special deputy mar
sals for services in connection with registration OF
elections on election day. -
s.Secfion That the sums appropriated in this act
for the persons and public service embraced In It's
provisions are in full for such person. a1a p uDaG
Service for the fiscal year ending June 80, loo ana
NO department or officer OF the government shall
during said fiscal year make any contract or incur
any sbty dor su ~ ay a menoDed in

any of the provisions OF this sections or Of sections

nmnished nv fine not exceeding S. 900, OF by i'm
prsonment for not exceeding i've years, OF by Dotn
such fine and Imprisonment, IN the Uscfetloh OF the
court.
This bill making full appropriations for
the marshals Mr.. Hayes vetoed, and hav-
ing thus himself defeated the appropria-
sion sent message to congress very coolly
asking that it make an appropriation for
mafshas and deputy marsbals as:
s:Tle suspension of the necessary functions in
ahe ordinary administration OF the first duties OF the
government for the shortest period is inconsistent
with the public interest and at any moment may
nroye Inconsistent With the Public safety. 1t is i'm
ppossibIe for me to look without grave concern
state Of things which leaves the public service thus
gnproyided for and the public interest thus unpro-
tecGed. and earnestly urge on your attention the
necessity of making Immediate appropriation for
the maintenance of the marShais ana deputy mar
shals for the fiscal year which commences TO-
morrow. 80 'et'- ID n u.vr.y
