contrary, they then, for the first time
in their campaign, got up and went to
work in earnest. 1t was absolutely
necessary that they should retrieve an
unexpected and almost fatal disaster,
and they have retrieved it. They
are to-day where they were before
Maine was snatched from them. The
Democracy has received . heavy blow,

seen whether they will bear It as well,

rhey viii Not Re Paid.

The Administration, having suspend.
ed most Of its legitimate duties and in.
corporated itself With the Republican
campaign machine, has decided to
place the ballot-boxes in charge of Su-
pervisors, and is contemplating the
appointment Of Deputy Marshals.
There are no facts on which even the
flimsiest pretext of necessity can be
based. unless we concede that it is nec-
essary for the Republican party to show
maiorities in localities where it has
only minorities. And, as this was the
sole purpose for which the Election
laws were enacted and for which they
have been continued on the statute
book against the will of the people. it
is evident that there is no other object
in the present movement.
By unparalleled abuse Of the veto
power which he held by the tenure Of
fraud, Mr.. Hayes defeated repeated az
tempts of the majority Of the people.
through their Congress. to strip those
laws Of partisan character, t, make
them National instead Of Republican.
WELDING against the majority the
highest prerogative Of the office which
had been stolen for him from that ms
iority, Mr. Hayes insolently detied the
people and enabled his party to trample
under foot the great Fundamental prin-
ciple of all republics-the right OF the
majority to rule, the duty Of the minor
ity to submit.
Having preserved the statute intact
the Administration, Us part Of the
campaign machine, has 3 legal right ia
appoint corps OF Republican bull
aozers in every city, town, township u
precinct. This legal right still exists
although it would have been swept
