South, favor the laws as they stand. They
say frankly that, but for these laws, corrupt
and unscrupulous Bourbon ring would have
full power to settle all elections as 1t pleased
To President Hayes himself it is well known
what elections have become In the city
of Cincinnati, and what sort OF elections might
there be expected if the laws should
be emasculated The Greenback members IN
caucus have determined not TO sustain the
Democrats in demanding the repeal OF these
laws aud it is q fact demonstrated by the
result of the late elections that the RepuD-
lican voters and Greenback voters far out
number the Democratic voters, even II the
latter were, as they are not, all united IN
desiring the legislation proposed.
The object of this papably false assertion
is to escape direct conflict with the Demo
cratic National platform of 1896, In whlch IL
was declared that the veto power OF the
President ought to be maintained, i'll order
"to suspend the passage of q bill whose
"mcrits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds of the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives, until the judgment OF the people
"can be obtained thereon" The judgment OF
the people in this case has not been obtained.
The Democratic platform of 1886 was strictly
correct in principle, and cnunciated rule
which may well be cTefully observed, both
by Congress and the President. 1t is his clear
right to veto any measure desIgnedly coerciye
in its character. His constitutional right to
suspend any bill, until the judgment of the
people can be obtained thereon. carries with
it the right to resist, at any cost Whatever.
an attempt to deprive him OF this constltu-
tionai share of the legislative power.
Finally, it is said that this legislation viii
mot longer be endured" The people OF the
North have heard the crack of the slave
drivers whip several times before. They
ceased to be afraid of it twenty-five years
ago. 1t is childish and puerile to bring the
manners of the plantation at this late day
into the Senate, or into Northern journals.
The Republicans in each House of Congress,
and the Republican Administration, ought to
resist to the end any change of laws by which
the Democrats may be enabled to swindie the
people in the next Presidential election.
Democratic disposition has been shown
abundantly in this and other cities. The
special anxiety at this time to get rid of legal
Obstacles to fraud is perfectly well Hnder-
stood. The resistance, they may rest as
srred will be rs stubborn, as patient, and in
the end, as successful az the resistance which
was made to secession. Threats are Il quarter
OF century too late.
New-York tribune., 1879-03-26
BACKING DOZEN.

The demand for the repeal or emascu-
laton of the election laws Is growing ridicu-
lOus. The Understanding and revolutionary
threats made so freely at the close of the last
session of Congress are no longer repeated in
Democratic caucus. Even to the dullest Dem
ocratic Representative the fact has become
apparent that the Presidential veto will make
it impossible either to pass any enactment
of repeal, or to hold Congress together
without salary for members or pay for
officials, servants and supplies in a refusal to
pass appropriation bills. The Greenback
members, it appears, refuse to act with the
Democrats in the revolutionary policy. Some
of them desire the same changes of the laws,
but recognize the gross imprOpriety OF the
attempt to coerce the President and to sup
press his constitutional right Of veto. The
Democratic majority Will be extremely slender.
1t is safe to assert that it will be found impOs-
sblc to hold all the members of that majority
for an indefinite time to remain III session and
to refuse appropriations. Accordingly, rumOrs
have been started that the President is likely
to yield on some points, so that the election
laws, If not formally repealed, may be virtu-
ally killed by depriving them of practical force.
There ought to be, and we take it for
granted that there is, not the slightest fOun-
dation for the assertion that the President
has indicated to any one his Willingness to
sign any bills of the character in question.
His own recent statements ought to settle
the matter. He unquestiOnably knows that
it would be a contemplate farce to retain
the supervisors, and yet TO deprive them of
any power whatever to prevent or pun
ish fraud. The object of the Demo
Gratis, as shown by the proceedings in the
meeting of the committee on Monday night.
is plainly to deprive the laws of all practical
efficiency. 1t was there determined to demand
the repeal, not only of other sections already
named, but Of Section 2,019 of the Revised
Statutes, which empowers the supervisors TO
take such position with reference to the ballot
and registry boxes as shall best COnduce to
their scrutinizing the manner III which the
registration or voting is being conducted, and
the canvassing of the votes. In all the action
of the Democratic caucus and committee thus
far it has been plain that the desire was to
break down every provision of law by which
fraud can be prevented. To leave supervisors
in office, with power TO look on but 10 power
to say or do anything, Democrats are I'M
doubtedly willing. But President Hayes would
be unfaithful, not only to the party which
elected him but TO his oath Of Office, if he
should consent to any such change of the
statutes.
1t is untrue, too, and palpably untrue,
" that the majority of the people wish the
"rcpeal now demanded" All the evidence is
to the contrary. The election laws have been
enforced for years, and outside of corrupt
cliques IN few cities, whose operations have
been checked no demand for repeal has at
any time been made. 1t is notorious that even
now some Democrats, especially from the

REACTION IN SPAIN.

Orc Of Our cable dispatches this week bears
record of great statesman who has failed
in all his public undertakings without losing
faith in the ultimate success OF his cause. In
his manifesto to the democratic faction in
Spain, he rcafirms his allegiance to the Con-
stitution of 1860, wherein religions liberty,
freedom of the press and the privileges OF
meeting and association were recognized as
fundamental principles. lie advocates uni
versal suffrage, inviolability of territory
and honest finance, and recommends a
policy opposed alike to reactionary ex-
cesses and demagOgic utOpias. His ideal
is still republican form of govern
ment, but he has turned his back upon those
restless groups of adventurers and agitatOrs,
the Intransigcntes and the Fcdcralsts, and
disclaims all idea of SubveIting existing instl
tutlons by violence. Nearly all that ne once
struggled TO overthrow has been restored, and
the results of the great political movements
in which he played so conspicuous a part
have been frittered away; yet be remains a
Republican. and believes that in the fulncss Of
time a majority of his cOuntrymen will be Re
publican also.
II Liberalism has tIiumphed gl0liously on
one side or the ISTtltPS uuflHB lDc EbSI DIX
years. il has steadily declined in Spain. The
constitution has been remOdelled, most Of the
reforms wrought by the revolution have been
swept away, a restricted franchise has been
substituted for universal suffrage, and every
thing has been put back where it was under
the old time monarchy. Conservatism has
carried everything before it not only i'll the
Cortes and in the Palace, but even in the
municipal and provincial councils. At the
same time peace has been restored in the dis
tracted mother state, while in Cuba, where 300,-
600 Spanish soldiers have laid down their lives,
liberal Colonial policy has been enforced
The storm and stress period of the revolution
of 1868, the n sgcncy of Scrrano, the advent
of Amadeus and the proclamation Of the Re
public, have been followed by n strange, almost
unnatural lull since the early months OF the
present reign. The old riotOus blood seems to
have oozed out of Spanish veins. Until within
few weeks, when the Governor-Gcncral of
Cuba was made Premier, q single Min
istry has remained In power, and there
has been scarcely ripple in the cur
rents of domestic politics. And while
there has been peace the reactiOnary move
ment has been making constant progress.
