The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-03-15

Talking ahou, the attempt Of the Democrats
in congress to force the repeal of the infamous
supervisors of elections law, the Aurora Bto
can gets up on its ear and says:
The Democracy chose the very important
Legislative appropriation bill the money pro
vidcd by which is essential to the carrying on
of the Government and although no possible
relation exists between them, attached TO that
bill section repeating the Supervisors law,
and then SAID to the senate and president: on
pass this bill, and you, sir, sign it, with this
amendment which, while it Outrages all good
sense and propricty, still accomplisheS our OBJ
YOU shall have no money with
which to carry on the Government. II is
doubted if the Senate and President can be
'bulldozed" III this manner.
The Beacoa seems to forget the saying about
the whirligig of Tune bringing Its revengcS, or
it might have modcstly recalled the fact that
the outrageous law in question was forced
through congress by its own party in 1872 by
exactly the same mCans-indeed by being tack
ed to the same Legislative bill to which it was
last week attached by the democrats.
The law is one of half dozen by which the
republicans, III the halcyon days of Grantism
and niger votes and bayonct elections, sought
to absorb all the powers of the states into one
grand central domination at Washington, It
had been preceded by a law ofcontiscation, test
oaths, exclusion from juries, negro rule, polit-
zeal disabilities, and a whole brood of kindred
measures designed to effect radical change in
our institutions through the abused forms Of
law.
The last triumph of this centrallzing conspi-
racy, which at one time even had the audacity
to proclaim imperialism as its goal, was in the
fraudulent inauguration OF Hayes against an
overwhelming popular vote in favor Of Tilden.
The triumph involved so many infamics as to
bring the whole centralzng scheme INTO odlum
and one by one the measures to which it gave
birth are being Topped off, until little more than
this Johnny Davenport machinery for the com
mission of wholesale election frauds is left, and
in the next congress even Hayes and his veto
power will be unable To save It.

The chasm w,dens.

Washington, April 30.-The nett re-
suit of the democratic caucuses at both
ends of the capitol to day was to agree
to make haste slowly in the determina-
tion of the course of action to be pur-
sued by the party in regard to the diff
cult questions with which it now finds
itself confronted, both in congress and
before the country.
A prominent member of the joint
caucus committee, to which the whole
subject was to-day referred, says it is
quite possible there will be no meeting
called for action concerning it until
after the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill shall also have
been vetoed.
In the house caucus to-day, strong
disposition was manifested to repass
the army appropriation bill, with its
sixth section so amended as to obviate
the presidents objection upon its al
legged interference with the execution
of the laws by civil officers, and thus
present to him squarely the sole issue
the democrats intended to raise, name
ly; whether elections should in any way
be interfered with by soldiers.
Blackburn made a speech opposing
any compromise, and insisting that the
party should stand firm at any and all
risks Of obstructing for time the or
dinary operations of the govern
ment.
Alex. II. Stephens created sensa-
tion by going still farther, and declar-
ing that to withhold the supplies from
any branch Of the government, because
the president would not approve the
appropriation bills containing the de-
sired political legislation, would be to
make war upon the presidents clearly
defined constitutional power, and would
be revolutionary.
Notwithstanding the great divergence
Of opinions expressed in the caucus to-
day, and the apparent preponderance
Of feeling In favor Of continuing the
contest in defiant, unylelding man
ner, the impression still widens and
deepens among cool observers that the
necessary appropriations will be pro-
vided by congress before the close of
the present fiscal year, and that the ex-
ira session is quite likely to terminate
early in June.

Washington, April 30.-Democrats
insist that the presidents argument,
denying the necessity of any further
legislation to prevent military inter-

but that on the contrary it is evasive
of the merits of the real question in
volved in the pending bill. They con-
cede, however, that the message as
whole is a strong document, and likely
to produce an effect upon the country
which will make the maintenance of
their present attitude in congress upon
this question a matter of at least debat-
able expediency.
