bered what New York had done TO prevent the bares
possibility OF illegal voting; how the registry had
been open to every man FOR inspection before
election, and how every man was afforded the op-
portunty TO challenge any vote at the polls. New
York was cosmopolitan city. All the bummers OF
the war congregated there, and all the spawn and
scum OF Europe were cast in there but while New
York sent her thieves and ruflans to the State pr
the rural districts sent theirs to Congress. The
people had heard great deal about the census in
New York. The law for tins census and
here il could not be said that the census was
taken under an old law, for the radicals nad been
lately nnkerng the census law-provided that II
this census gave AN increase Of population in any
state sufficient to increase the number OF Congress
men such congressman might be elected at large.
Had New York been properly enumerated she would
have eight Congressman instead OF six, and
whlle the increase OF population In some sections
might aid the radicals IN New York It would aug
meat democratic power in Congress. This was the
reason why the census had been 80 shameiully mis-
conducted and the same outrage had been perpe.
trated in other sections similarly situated. Mayor
Hall concluded with an eloquent exhOrtarion TO-
remedy all such evils by voting Tor Governor Hoh-
