latures to incorporate extraneous matter into
appropriation bills.
In view of the fact that this objectional
practice has been common for many years,
ana has been rcsorted to by all parties, the
President admits that he wonld not in the
first Instance, and without due notice to Con-
gress, veto a bill simply because it contained
provisions foreign in their character to the
general purpose of the measure
So in this case his veto was based on his
serious objections to the bill itself, and not
upon the mode of Legislation adopted. At
the same time the President expresses the
hope that Congress. by amendment of its rule
or otherwise, will prevent the attachment of
riders to appropriation bills; and expresses
the opinion that the practice ought. in any
event, to be stopped, and hints that he will
consider it his duty to act accordingly in the
future.
The President closes as follows: "Re-
lieving that section 6 of the bill before me
Will weaken, if not altogether take away the
power of the national government to protect
federal elections by the civil authorities, am
forced to the conclusion that it ought not to
receive my approval.
This section makes a vital change in the
election laws of the country, which is in no
way connected with the use of the army. 1t
prohibits under heavy penalties any person
engaged in the civil service of the United
States from having any force at any election,
prepared to preserve order"
