rneakiup Of President HArEs's veto Of tn

The Washington Post Of yesterday, In
rnesk,up Of President HAYES veto Of the
-aeessy-msrshass ball, says;
"In obedience to the dictates Of his
masters. Mr.. Hayes has vetoed the Dill
making the corps Of deputy marsnas non.
psrtisan. and Il IL an open secret tnat y
the Intention Of The sislwarts TO force tns
Administration to apposnt tnousanus VI
bulldoxers, in the old way, desp''e tge I'm
hIb,tiou contained In the sundry c'sii o.',;
Tins Il one feature OF the conspiracy. All
c,oss districts are TO be invaded By platocns
and bsttslions OF deputy marsha's, se,ecteo
Tor their special adaptation to rougn deeus'
and these scoundrels are expected 10 ma
terIalIy affect the result OF the election"
The Post thus presents the veto 10 tue
same light In which we presented 1t yester-
day. That act Of the Presidents indicates
+. fixed purpose on the part OF the Repubh-
can, TO hold on to the presidential once "
every risk, and, holding on to that, 10 keep
in their possession all the Offices OF the GOV
eminent. Foreign ministers, secretaries ~
legation, custom-house officers, 'n'ein'''
revenue officers, aud all the rest oil the nun
d-ed tbousaud Federal offices are now III
the hands OF that party; and tney caheo'
tolerate the idea OF having to SURRENDER
them. The deputy marsha's Will be numer-
Gus next fall. Let the Democrats prepare
for them. Those officials may even TINS
wear have influence enough to elect u
President of the United States. whether
they have or not, the people may
rest assured that IL the Repuohcans
secure the next President, ana before
his time is out regain control OF Con-
gross. laws will be passed which Will put II
into the power Of the Republican party TO
perpetuate its existence for many years II
not forever, or until CESAR comes. Tue
presept laws are as bad as it was thought
the country would stand at the time they
were passed. The country has become ac'
customed to those laws. and the next step
will be such amendments to them as VIII
enable the Republican party to use the peo-
pies money lavishIy to preserve its ascend
epcy. The veto message ought TO serve as
an alarm.bell to warn the Democrats OF
what they may surely expect il they fail to
avail themselves Of the present opportunity
to free the country from Republican leeches.
The Republicans, however, are not going
to neglect the congressional elections this
year. They need not do so in order to elect
their candidate for President. On the con-
trary, the same deputy marshals who will
be used to terrify and intimdate the
yoters-the same per diem that will bride
worthless Democrats to profess TO be Demo-
Gratis while acting as Republican officials
will assist also in electing Republican con-
gressmen as well as Republican President
We think it hardly possible that the House
of Representatives can be taken out OF the
hands OF the Democrats either by fraud or
force; yet as eternal vigilance Is the price
OF liberty, 1t becomes the Democrats TO
be alert, active, aggressive, untiring, and
ready to meet their opponents at every
point OF danger. Let us elect our Presi-
dent and seat Democratic Congress. SO
shall we put an end forever to the worst
party which this country has ever pro-
duced-a partNThich has committed almost
every crime that could be perpetrated by
men thus banded together.
