In that city lively for that class, and that
when sich are taken they must take their
chances the same ca tho they lived In
other cities. How much 1t cost em to get
the courts for cm don't know. but that

convicted and sentenced to Sing Sing for
forty years, and another for twenty.

Ihcd made up my mind to abandon the
idea NV locatln in Moo York, but an after
thought changed my purpose. shel go
to New York. An ordinary states prs
on will hold fifteen hundred convix. the
three or four prisons the state heels all
full, and not one In a thousand Is sent to
en- who ought to be. Ez matter Nv
coorse new prizcns will hev to be built,
and to accommodate our majority twenty
new ones will be required. Now, the
Court House In Moo York hez already
made the forchoons NV twelve contractors
wich hcv all retired independently rich,
and experienced calculators hev hggered
that twenty more Will make their pile out
NV It, before 1t Is finished. Astate prizen
can be made tu cost ez much ez the Court
House, for NV coorsc they will be finished
with all the modern improvements for the
convlx, incloodin gas, and hot ana coid
water. The unfortnit men ought 10 i've

ben accustomed to.
Under the present management, at least
thirty.two men can be made independent
out NV each prizcn. Twenty times thirty
two Is GAO, wich is the precise number NV
Dlmocratic leaders who can be made com
Portable out NV this misforchoon to the
party. There Is no great loss without
some small gain. While we are redoos-
Ing our majority by imprisoning our vo-
