form," would Congress have power to inter-
fere? 234; order a new election in Louisiana, and you
have established a precedent that must impair elec-
tive government, 235; let the remedy for frauds be
found in the courts, 235; you do not know how the

have no right to interfere, 235; what is our right of
interference? 235; based on two grounds, 235; the
