Honest Democracy q

A few weeks ago we gave an account
of two recent cases of wholesale fraudu-
lent voting in Wisconsin by the De-
mocracy and now we are obliged to re-
cord fragrant repetition Of the same
offence at Leavenworthin Kansas. There
are more than fifty Democrats in Jail at
that place now for obeying that wicked
behest Of the party, to vote early, and
often, and keep on voting until the
polls are closed"
It is believed that the investigation
will disclose FIVE hundred fraudulent
votes, and give the ten seats in the next
Legislature claimed BY the Democrats Of
that place, to Republicans; which will
increase the Republican Majority in the
Legislature to nineteen.
Let Democrats tell it, and Democracy
is honest. patriotic, just true and loyal.
