j~orities attained hthe late elections herd
have a peeulia1 signifcance Just now
owing \ fhe recent suisaffectien h the
Democrats ranks. they confirm the
most emphatic manner the growing
strength, not simply of a local Democratic
organization, but of the principles which
are common totheR Democracy tHAOughOVt

Their charges come in the same general
way, without s~dbstantiating them by a
single casen In fact, the only men who
were arrested for" Rejecting" were the
negroes, whose character as voters has
been the acknowledged creation of the
Radical party. One newspaper commits
itself to the absurd statement that four
teen out o fevery fifteen votes were fraud
ulent, and that the police were acting
under secret instructions to assist in the
fraudulent voting. Another journal says
that only about one-half the legal vote
was polledpwhile the Illegal vote was out
in all its glory. The fact hat these gen
civilizations are made On, the morning af-
ter the election, and written while the
election ~was4going on, or, in other words,
at a time when it would have been almost

cases, and much less to- deduce reliable
general facts, shows clearly how absurdly
vicious these statements ares NR
