Mn. FIELDS DRAMATIC PERORATION
9r BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL

Such, Mr.. President ard gentlemen Of
the Commission, is as briefa statement as
lean make of the facts and the law as we
understand them to-day The~greatness
Of the question in respect to the dignity
of the presidential Office and the enor-
nous interests depending upon it are as
nothing compared with the moral ele-
ments involved. True it is that the per-
son to whom you give decision will be for
five millions of people; will be command
er-in-chief of your army and navy; the Or
gan between you all and foreign States;
the bestowal Of all offices; the fountain of
honor and power, and the executor Of
your law. But that is as nothing COM
pared with the greater question, wheth-
er or not the American people stand pow
er1ess before a gigantic fraud. Here is
this certificate Iholding it aloft in his
hand1. One feels almost reluctant to
touch it Hold it up to the light. It is
black with crime. Pass it around; let
every man see it, and then tell inc wheth-
error not that certificate gives a title to
IN Office contrary TO truth as we can prove
it. One of the greatest poets of the palm
lest day of English literature, writing of
the coming Of the Saviour, said:
and ancient frauds shall fail.
Returning justice lift aloft her scale.
Ancient fraud I Was their ever fraud
like this' In all previous ages fraud has
succeeded only because it has been back
ed by the sword, and protesting people
have been powerless to resist the force
of armed battalions. Never before now
i'll the history of the world has fraud
succeeded against the conscience and
the will of self-governing people. If
it succeeds now, let us cover our faces
In shame. Let us take down the statue
on the dome of the capitol which every
morning faces the coming light. Let us
clothe ourselves in sackcloth and sit in
ashes forever.
