Mr.. Bayard introduced in the Senate an
amendment to section 1922 of the Revised
Ststutes-the election which defines the
duties of United States marshals at the
polls. The proposed amendment changes
the wording of the clause with or without

section which provides that no person shall
be arrested for registration or election

The FusioAists of Maine have been rsbuked

George William Curtis believes that such

defeated in the next election than have it
succeed in the election of man over whom
they could not exercise control, and thus,

defeated If he were nominated, and that
the Republican party would be fatally dis
