Hayes Lost Both Houses.
The elections in 1873 when Hayes
was half way through his term result
ed In election of democratic majorities
in both houses. There was a dead
lock in the old Congress going out of
existence March 4. 1879, over the Army
and the legislative executive and
judicial appropriation bills. The
democrats controlled the House and
the republicans the Senate in the old
Congress. The balance of power in
the House was held by the southern
democrats who attempted by means of
riders" attached to appropria ton
bills to abolish the acts of Congress
relating to the disqualification of men
who had taken part in the rebellion

the necessary appropriation bills: He
insisted that the Congress should not
use this weapon as club to coerce
the executive in the matter of legis-

through these measures over his
