lot, and that when it comes about that the
result of an election depends upon those
who have the supervision of it rather than
upon the votes of those legally qualified
to vote, the republic has come to the
beginning of certain and immediate end.
One of the most important questions which
should engross the attention of patriotic
men, in private as well as in public life,
is that Of the measures necessary for
counteracting the influences which have
made elections in certain localities farces.
A public sentiment should be created
which will condemn the man who would
tamper with the purity Of elections, by
any means, as a public enemy. Nor
should this matter be postponed. In its
consequences it overshadows the impor-
lance of any Presidential election or any
temporary party success, however desir-
able or however promising in its results.

The increase Of the voting strength of
the above States indicates an increase of
population OF from IL TO rs per cent. This
Is simply incredible. Even when it is
taken into consideration that the ere
serves" were never so fully brought out
as at the late election, the balance of the
increase cannot be accounted for on an
increase of population In those States, or
by the increase of voting strength
resulting from fair naturalization of
foreigners.
Another fact which makes figures still
more suggestive is that the increase has
taken place in the large cities. In Penn
sylvania, Philadelphia shows the greatest
increase. In New York, Brooklyn and
Kings county show the most astounding
ncrease-indicating that its population
has almost doubled during the past four
years. In Connecticut, where each party
usually polls its full vote, the democratic
increase is confined to four or five of the
largest places, including Hartford, New
Haven and Bridgeport. In Ohio, the in
crease in Cincinnati. Columbus and Cleve-
land Is also remarkable. In Indiana the
increase is in the large towns and border
counties, indicating that the chivalrous
citizen OF Kentucky has ignored State lines
In the late contest. In nearly all instan-
ces, the increase of the democratic vote is
10 the ratio of to l and in some cases
even greater.
1t must be admitted after liberal al
lowance is made for the reasonable in.
crease of population and for the naturali-
zation OF foreigners, that from five to ten
per cent. of the excess of 1876 over 1872
remains to be accounted for on other
grounds. What makes the matter more
remarkable and suspicious is that while a
comparison OF the detailed votes of these
States at the two periods named, shows
in general, natural increase due to
growth and special interest in the election,
the mass of it is confined to cities and lin
tied sections.
There is but one inference to be drawn
and that is that there has been AN alarm.
ing increase Of fraudulent voting. The
vote of the city of Brooklyn and Kings
county could not be doubled by any fair
processes. II is not reasonable to suppose
that the exciting National State and 10.
cal contests which have taken place in
that and other localities could have passed
and one third OF the entire number o.
voters not have taken any. interest in them
There are scores of instances where the
votes of small sections have been doubled
without any apparent increase Of popula-
ton. Can such results be attributed to
any other cause than fraudulent voting /?
Il need not be said that national exist
ence depends upon the purity of the bal.
