Unadulterated Partisan and Sectional
MaIignity and Misrepresentation.

Of the Republican party, we nave re-
produced in full, the letter Of the Re
publican candidate for the Nice-Presi-
dencv. 1t has the merit Of pith and
directness. and leaves nobody in doubt
a. to the meaning Of its author. 1t Is
the concentrated virus Of unadulterated
Radicalism. Its notable features are:
The endorsement Of those extreme
measures, the federal election laws for
superceding the State authorities in
registration and elections.
The right to vote comes from the
States. Gen. Arthur assumes that it
comes from the federal government,
and that the authority with which they
invested it to prescribe the time and
manner Of holding elections for mem
bers Of Congress, confers upon it the
power place ballot-boxes in charge Of
federal marshals and supervisors, to
constitute those officials a detective
corps, with authority to challenge
voters. and on their own arbitrary mo-
ton. 10 arrest voters and officers Of cleo
ton without due process, in defiance Of
that clause IF the Constitution declar-
ing that no person shall be deprived Of
bis liberty without warrant and that no
warrant shall issue except for proba-
BILE cause supported by oath. The
election laws for the repeal of which
hills have repeatedlv been passed bv
