Lie , plainly loid them that the Republican parly could not afford la ga into a campaign as defending the use of tbe military at elections, and that in his opinion the bill now offered by lbe Dempcrats did not infringe upon the riahla of the Executive.

Garfield was selected to covefJ.be retreat He was very specious 'and hedged ; ingeniously. We quote from the Slate: "Williams of Wisconsin, . Republican, asked him a few. pertinent questions that tUiowed the thinness of the rhetorical dust he was taising to hide his retreat, and forced from him a plain negative to the question whether be believed there was auv law authorizioc tbe Government to keep the peace at the polls at national elec tions. The Democrats clapped their hands and laughed at Garfield's untimely expo sure by one of his own party, and Cox or JNew YotK. followed it up. uox saia uar- tield bad handsomely covered the retreat of his party. They bad demanded tbe army to carry the elections in tbe South and deputy marshals for tbe North, and he (Cox) was not willing to give tbem either. The Democrats bad been unable to repeal tbe laws that make fraud upon tbe ballot fraud in the White House, but they couia deprive uim i of the means to use those laws." WAEB FOBBST COtLEGE.
