THE CHICAGO DAILY THURSDAY JANUARY 1875

Tho register is tho only guard, and without
fra,sd, aa it vas in tho days Of Chicago when
the most nn3rnnt frauds woro porpetrAtel Mt
the polls with tmpnnity.
Tho bourbon proposal to break down tho
Registry Inv simply places tho ballot.boz in
the possession Of the s!u1ns. II paves tho
way for smrortations, and makes "rcreat-
ing" a safo and ensy process. It places every
election In tho hands Of tho gamblers, shoul-
slcr-hittcrs, rowdics, nnl dcpravcd classcs OF
tho chief material of tho Bourbon party in
all largo cities which is utilized in elections,
OF courao 1t ia for tho interest Of tho Dour-
bon leaders to utilize it as much as possible,
to voto it curly mud voto 1t often. The
repeal OF the Registry law furnishes tho means
for doing it. It would innugurato such
nh era of ballot-bo1- -stufdng, repeating,
and fraudulent voting as tho cities Of
this State have never seen before, and
Chicago md every other largo city In which
tho brutal classes nre numerous would be left
| ut tho mercy Of rufaanism. Tho slu,ns Of
Chicago would rule 1t, fill its Offices, md die
tato its laws, and Bourbonisn would repeat
lore the frauds, and corruptions, and villaniea
Of Tam1nany in New York. This is the
Bourbon programme. Now, VIC would like
to ask the Independent Republicans of the
Legislature IT they are in favor Of this intle.
pendent style Of voting; if they are disposed
to remove the only safeguard wo haye Of the
purity Of elections, and hand the ballot-bo.
over to tho control of tho lowest and
most depraved c1assca Of the commune
ty; if they are going to join with the
bourbon League in virtually disfranchisinl
tho moral, honest, and respectable classes o'
the community, and giving municipa! control
to political bumulcrs and Eocial vagabonds
If so, then they had botter drop the name O.

Of having the Common Council consist Of

nearly nil tho larye cities 1t In an additional
check on hasty ind corrupt legislation.
Wherever the Legislature consists Of but ono

as part Of tho Municipal Government is
made optional by the people of each city.

tho amount outstanding is reduced until sup

THE REGISTRY LAW.

The Rourbona Of the State Legislature
have put forward another card in tho game
which they arc playing to concentrate and
conserve their power as party, in the shape
Of bill introduced In tho Senate by AaNT-
ZEN, Of Adams, to repeal the Registry law,
which is at present tho only safeguard Of
elections In cities. What the effect Of this
bill will be can be best seen by exam
lining tho law itseH. These registers
contain n List Of tho persons qualified to vote
in each election district OF cities, alphabet
ically arranged, so as to show in ono column
the name Of tho voter and in another col.
u,nu his residence, md the list is preserved
for tho use of the judges on election day, and
amplo penalties arc provided against false Or
double registration. The number attachel
to thu voters name is placel upon the back
Of the ticket which he votes. This does not
interfere with the secrecy Of his ballot, but
simply identifies 1t in case 1t is
brought before court Of inquiry In a
contest. There is no hardship connected
with this system, no invasion Of personal
right, no injustice Of any sort. Ample notice
and time ore givon the voter to register HIM
self, and, even should he foil to do 80, he still
| ia not debarred from the right to cast his
vote. This be can do by furnishing to the
Judges M identifying witness and his affidavit
| in writing, stating therein that he is an in
habitant Of the district and entitled to vote.
This system has proved itsoK to be the best
safeguard in elections,-the only check upon
fraudulent voting yet deyissd. 1t not only
guarantees the purity OF the ballot~box md

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Tho country will give the Louisiana mos-
sago OF the President close perusa and d |
hearty welcome. It is a cnlna and consider
ate royow Of all tho facts, md knowledge
of tho truth il essential to any intelligent
Judgment upon the transactions in Now Or
leans. The President reviews the deplorablo
condition Of alIairs that hns existed in Louisi-
sna since the reconstruction Of the State.
This condition l,as been growing worse until
it has rcnohed that point whom tho murder Of
q colorcd man or Of white Republican has
ceased to offend the public sentiment and
Inns ceased to bo prosecuted and punished as
crimo. In 1872 occurred the disputed olec-
ton; KEA1ooa and McESERY both claiming
to be elected Governor. Tho President ut
Tint time was forced to exercise the power
invested in him by the act Of 1876, and
recognized KELLOGG aa Governor. Whether
KELLOGG was elected Governor or not, the
President thinks his claim was much better
than that Of McEsEny. Under constit,t.
tional requisiton, lie sent troops to Louisiana
| to protect the Stata against domestic violence.
In 1874 ho Withdrew the troops, md In Sep
tcmbor the McEAEnY faction, claiming to
hayo been elected in 1879, by forco Of arms
! seized Tho State Government, and for several
days attempted to cxercgo the functions of
Government. Upon legal roquisition, he
again sent troops to Louisiana to suppress
this domestic violence. There were appro-
he,,sions Of forcihle intimidation Of voters,
aud to prevent this lie caused troops to ho To-
Gated ct various points in tho State. In sey-
eral districts there was resort to intimidation
by published thrcats to employ no persons
Who should vote tho Republican ticket. OF
tic action Of the Returning Board tha presi-
dent las no oflcialinformation. but whether
they nctcd rightly or not, they had, by law,
the power to do as they did. OF tho alleged
interference by the military with tho orgnni-
cation Of tho Legislature, he has no informa-
ton that has not been published. Ho Ind no
knowledge that my such thing WIS anticipat-
ed and no orders or suggestions were given
to the military upon the subject prior to tue
