position, for in this very message
he says most forcibly: zsr
"Thc great body of the people of
all parties want free and fair cleo

TINT the place ofan election should

peace and good order are more

That is precisely the point.
Why assume that free elections arc
q matter of greater conccrnment at

him at Washington know and feel
more strongly the need for, purity

: Free Elections.

How far should elections DO free
from military interference, says the
New York San, and from all awre
hension of military interference?
We say absolutely. Otherwise
they are not free, elections. A
choosing when you are not free to
choosc-a choosing when you are
AFRAID TO choose-is not choice at
all. It is Il misnomcr to call it an
election. .g..- rr =--
Mr.. Hayes, in his latest veto
message says: ts ....-
"The elections should be free
from all forcible interference, and
as far as practicable, from all appre-
hcnsion of such interference"
It is practicable to make them
entirely free from all apprehension
of forcible interference by making
such interference impossible. That
is just what the act vetoed by Mr..
Hayes did. 1t was because it did
that he vetoed it. Then what be.
comes Of his hollow profession Of a
desire to have elections free?
An apprehension of forcible in
reference is, in effect, n forciblc
interference. 1t is tho operation OF
force upon the fears o the voters.
It is precisely the effect which would
be produced by the presence Of Il
large army at the polls. Few, if
any, Of the voters would DO shot
down; but many would DO made
afraid. If thoy voted they would
vote under the influence Of their
fears. rr
This is not all. It is not only
that voters would DO influenced by
their fears in the votes thoy would
cast; but the apprehension Of for
chile interference would keep large
numbers away from the polls and
from the polling places. Being de-
tcrmined ifthcy voted at all to vote
against the Administration from
which forcible interference was to
be apprehendcd, for fear Of getting
themselves into trouble, they would
absent themselves entirely.
There must DO neither forciblc
interference at the elections nor
any apprehension or forciblc inter-
fercnce-neither the ono nor tho
other, for they arc both virtually
the same. And the way 10 prevent
all apprehension of forcible inter-
ence is to prohibit forciblo interfer-
ence BY law. :
