ONLY O. Little One.

The Radical papers have denounced the
Democrats rs 'revolutionists because
they wished to tack on to an appropriation
bill n provlso repeating the law providing
for Federal supervisors and deputy mar
shals to conduct congressional elections.
The Democrats replied that the Republicans
had done the same thing when they had the
power. And the Philadelphia Press re-
spends: s. -..- r
"The only amendment to the election
laws that was ever tackled on to an appro-
priation bill WIS provision for the appoint
ment OF supervis ors-not deputy marshals-
In places other than cities OF 10000 inliabit-
ants"
Well, that is exactly what the Democrats
did. They tackled on Il proYiso to repeal
all laws authorizing the appointment OF SUI
pervisors and deputy marshals to overawe
honest voters. The Press is blind, or it
swouId see that it has 4'given away" its
case. II your party was justitiable in pass
ing such law US part OF 40 appropriation
bill, ours is surely sustifabIe for repealing
that and all such laws in like manner. II
it is & revolutionary aow, it was "revo.
lutionSry" then.
