Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-03-01
A REPUBLICAN OUTRAGE.


tor Chambers resolution regarding the
killing of Deputy Marshal Saunders in
Florida is an appalling indictment of
the administration. Calmly and forci-
bly, he presented the evidence of what
the president and his subordinates have
been doing. The right of trial by jury
in ones own vicinage has been denied,
and accused men have been taken to re-
mote parts of the state, where they
could not get witnesses or bondsmen,
although United States courts and COM
missioners were close at hand. The
right of trial by an impartial jury has
been denied and democrats &C
cussd Of political offenses have
been indicted and tried by grand
and petit juries packed with republi
cans. Desperadoes have been appointed
deputy marshals aid the whole ma
chinery of the federal judiciary has
been employed to Cypress and persecute.
Protests have been made and unheeded.
Appeals for justice have been thrown
into tho waste basket and when de-
putty marshal is killed by the friends or
neighbors of his own victims, we are in
formed that grave political crime has
been committed and the general govern
ment is urged to invade the state with
more ruffians holding Its commissions
and to supersede the state judiciary
partisans of the administration and
judges appointed as a reward for repub-
lean party services in other states.
