The Istelligsnecr admits that. 'Aets
is ss a { general belief that there was SON" g
illegal voting in this city fhuFsaas
and endeavors to lay the blame k g1f upon
the a .b.eoce, Of registry Of voters
Bat the assumption that it ia possible
that frauds n~y be committed under the
existing law does not justify sucn
frauds nor warrant any respectable
Journal in bringing fprwsrd SUCH an
excuse. Under registry Law such'as che
Iatelhgencsr sudits friends originated ana
enforced in this State enormous frauds
we're uhbldshiugly perpetrated. yeaf
ster year. The trouble then was ret
that there were too many votes poiled'
but too few; not that uon-rssidents
were permitted to vote, but that hum
dreds Of legally qualified citizens were
wrongfully excluded from the polls. II
was this shameful abuse OF the regis
ustiou sys.em that at length cansed
the people OF the State to rissnp ana
throw or the Radical yoke, and It was
in part the fear that, in the event OF
return Of Radical power, these ousrages
might be renewed, that has now inf1a'
s,ca,J the adopfion o. Constitution
forbidding these things.
A registry of voters in the sense
n which it is understood here Is moi
he only means of preventing fraud
There is no such registry in Ohio anC
vet we seldom hear complaint OF ex'
cessive voting there. All that Is needed
here and under our present law II
order to give Us purity IN eleetiohs 1t
for the public sentiment 10 condemn
election frauds. no matter 10y VIVA
oayty nor in whose interest they ma!
be committed. and for the proper OH
GERS to enforce the law.
Apy citizen who has examined IN
returns of the election in Ohio couau
last lnu'~a-p and compared then
with those OF the similar eIectron pe,,
less than two years ago, cannot fail I
arrive at the conclusion that either tn
l.. - suuueniy increased, o.
that many ballots were received in vio-
lation OF law. The canvass for tn,
Sheritfalty in 1870 WAS rs active and ex
citing "a that OF 1872. There wer,
no more legal voters left q
home then than on las
Thursday. And vet the solid fact re.
mains that, in round numbers, one
thousand more votes were polled Las,
week than were given in October, 1870
The increase is entirely too great 10 be
accounted for by legitimate means, and
despite ali the Intslligenesr s squirminG
upon the subject the charge of fraud
has not been explained away.
