NO COMPROMISES.

There il no more disposition among
the members OF Congress, al this term
than at the last, to he dictated to 10y
His Fraudulency, upon the matter OF
the appropriations.
The Democracy realize that II We are
TO ever have another Presidential elec-
ton by the people, and in which the
free ballots Of the people shall determine
| the result, IL must be freed from par'i-
San control and partisan intimidation
and iorco.
The only means they have OF accom-
plishiug this is to declare that the parti'
san agents sent out to supervise
control elections shall not be paid ioi
their services out OF the public treasury.
II HAYES insists on this, let him find
the means OF paying the bills from those
in whose interests these agents are cm-
ployed.
"Thc true policy Of Congress, says
the Washington Posi-, "is 10 let the de-
puiics wait Tor their pay until Mr.
HAYES gets ready to sign such a bill as
the Que he has vetoed. The approPria'
tons contained in the vetoed bill, eX-
cept those relating to the deputy mar
shals, can be passed without delay. But
there should never he one cent OF the
vetoed marshal appropriation passed IN
any other shape than that in which It
has Just been sent back to the House.
The Democratic party is in no need OF
these officials. The country does not
need them. The Republican party in

corps. Fair, manly, honest and honor
able propositions have been insolcntly
rejected. Let the deputies wait for
their pay until the ice is two feet thick
