Wheatley VS.. the Judges of Election of George

Saturday, Judge Cartier said that the Court
wished TO hear counsel On the question whether
OF not the night OF suffrage was a natural con-
ferred right.
Mr.. Cook contended that the right to vote
was not one of the natural rights of man, nor of
1ne rights OF a citizen, but a bestowed right.
his was especially true in reference to the
people OF the District of Columbia. The people
mere nave no governmental power whatever
and the rights OF government which they pos
sess are In an especial manner conferred by
Congress and to be exercised only in accord
ance with the grant. The law on which the
penalties, but law specifying the manner IN
Which the privilege of suffrage should be exer-
cised.
MIR. Riddle said the people of this Distric.
were oder than the District, and have their
right of self-governmcnt from the State of
Maryland just as the citizens OF other States
have. He had always been taught that the right
OF man to seif-government was a natural right
The ballot was the means by which trus ScIr-
government was exercised, and therefore the
right to vote was a natural right.
The Court took the papers and reserved its
decision.
