To Our Adopted Citizens.

There have been two parties in this
country in reference TO the admission of
immigrants to the right to vote. We have
always been in favor of granting to them
the elective franchise. But from the be-
ginning this generous policy has been
opposed, with more or less zeal. at differ
ent times, by the Native American party.
DELANoC. CALVIN was undcnlably mem
Der of this party. 1t was contended by its
advocates that immigrants from the old
country were not c Ipablo of discriminating
between at and unit cand dates for office.
