contributing to the opportunity for tho perpe-
tration OF Tho greatest political crime the
unblushing fraud, known in tho his
tory OF all the peoples OF the earth There
nine upon tho election OF President o! the United
Stales-never! never Hereafter the plan OF the
stnuon will be the plan Of Congress and the people.
Should the next democratic candidate Tor tho Presi-
dency receive, did the last majority OF the
votes OF majority Of the states IN The Electoral
Colleges thereof. such candidate will be inaugurated,
let come wnat may come; repetition OF toe base
OF 1877 cannot be and will not be tolerated. The
