Old Republican Doctrine.

Springfield Republican, Rep. The Federal array is not a police force, and ought not to be habitually used to enforce any law, much less election laws. This is the old doctrine of the Republican party. The vote of a single small State may be, as it has been, the pivot of a Presiidential election. The Federal army, small us it is, is large enough to affect the result in Florida, for instance, and tho work once done cannot be undone. It is tho part of wisdom to put temptations of this soit out of the reach of political managers.Nei<her party has shown itself above yielding to them.
