THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE IN SPAIN

The return of votes cast at the recent elections in
Spain shows that very large proportion of the peo-
pie must enjoy the elective franchise. In Madrid,
the number who voted is stated at LOG, 0OO-a much
larger vote than is cast at any election in the city of
New York. A Glasgow paper, the Daily Bulletin,
refers to the Madrid election, showing that in the
Spanish Capital there are more electors than in the
whole of Scotland. 1t says:
Madrid contains nearly as many inhabitants as
Glasgow, but not quite the number. The Madrid
electoral district may, however, include the su-
burbs, and some parts of the surrounding country
1t is; however, only a small party. The number
OF electors inters, therefore small party. The
people OF Scotland may, perhaps be considered not
enlightened land citizens than the Span
iards Whathave we done therefore, that in all Scot
land we have not as many electors as voted in Mad
rid? We have not heard that the Peerage or the
throne of Spain has been endangered by complete
suffrage. The Cortez have not at any time passed
laws calculated to destroy personal property
They have not in any way infringed the rights of
private property. Our higher classes might take
heart from the example of even Spain; and believe
that their countrymen would not be more likely to
destroy rights that should be preserved than the
inhabitants of land that has had numerous intes-
tine quarrels, where education and the press have
not yet made the progress that has been reached at
home.
