The Presidents VetO--The Future
Action of the Democrats.

Especial Dispatch to the Boston Journal
WASHINGTON, May 2l, 1879.
THE Presidents VETO OF THE LEGISLATIVE
BILL.
The Legislative bill will probably reach
the President on Friday or Saturday, and the
Presidents message vetoing it will be sent
to the House on Monday. Ii will not be very
long. but will be emphatic in declaring that SUI
peryision ofthe polls by nited States Marshals
and Supervisors is necessary to secure free
and fair elections of Representatives in Con-
gress. Ii is asserted by those who profess to
know that after the veto message has been
received a Joint caucus of the democrats OF
the two houses will be held and the future
line of policy be mapped out.
Tnr Future ACTIoN OF THE DEMoCRATs.
1t is evident that the disposition is growing
among the democratic leaders TO let the Ar
my bill fail. The Legislative bill though,
will certainly be passed in some shape. If it
is decided to let the Army bill fail it will
be sent TO the President precisely as it was
originally, and the two houses will adjourn
on the day the bill is sent TO the President.
Then the President will call Congress to-
gether again and the struggle will be renew
ed. Others are equally positive that both
bills will be passed early in June, with pro-
visos forbidding the expenditure of any of the
moneys appropriated for keeping troops at
the polls or for supervisors and deputy mar
shals.
