the part Of the republicans i'll o gress
that all of tho frauds at elections are in
the south is reireshIng g. soon after a
campaign rnn by q ray and dudley with
fat fried ont of The manufacturers and
paid to blocks OF five; when III addition
il is known of all men that the protect
ed manufacturers of the north intimi-
date their operatives quite az much as
the whites of the south bulldOZe the
negroes. Having stolen the presidency
from Tilden and bought IL for Harrison
Mr.. Reeds God and-morality party is
hardly in u position to be cannoniZed
Just vet. The election bill proposed by
by Mr.. Reed, and as u result voted by
his subservient henchmen, despite the
strong republican protests against it, is
an infamy-l.- Because it provides for
All army of paid informers and spies TO
supervise the elections OF h people.
2-Because by the machinery of the
law two-thirds OF each returning board
provided would be republican. With
the INSCRIPTIONS record of the republic
can party in this congress in turning
out democrats and seating republicans
in cases where there was not even the
shadow of q claim That the latter were
elected, no sane man would expect any
thing but a republican verdict, no mat
ter what the people had decided by
their votes. 3.-The bill provides for
bringing armed soldiers TO the polls in
this free country, at the behest of any
jack-leg supervisor, who may even be a
nonresident of the district. q thing
which cannot be done at all in mon
archical England, and which is foreign
to the spirit OF n institutions. There
are other reasons why this nefarious
measure should not become a law, but
these are sufficient If they can be sub
stantiated, and il 10 a matter of record
that the republican members of con-
gress who defend the bill have been
unable to successfully deny that it con
templates doing what is here set forth.

New York Herald:-Our readers
will understand the enormity of the
pension legislation when some figures
are considered. Great Britain will In
1890 pay annually tor army and navy
pensions $3.50, 000, 900; France, $685.,
DOC, 600; Germany, S1l4, 900 GOO; Rus
sia, 1928, 600 900. The United States
will pay $2l0, 1000, 600 at least; perhaps
more. And this for a naval and mill
tary establishment in a state of profound
peace. with neither ali army por q navy
that could make an impression upog
any seventh class power in the world.
This. we are officially informed by the
leader of the pension movement, is only
Il part Of the soldiers "rights"--the
remains behind. We are to
have a prisoners Of war bill, 10 cost
SIl 800, 900; the repeal OF the limitations
Of arrears, according to commissioned
$47l 800 900; the equalization
Of bounties officially put down at $751;
543 ,634; the per diem service bill,
about 81 1888, 100 ,S20. In all we haye
81 900 900 200 to be demanded. As
Ingalls, would go as high as
; 10, 000, 600 900, there will be found
other ways OF getting at the money.
