Now, let it be remembered that these
Democratic outrages are not in South
ern States which have never been prop
erly reconstructed, but in Northern
States where it has been supposed laws
were obeyed and all classes of people
had the right to vote; and let it be
further remembered that in each case
these outrages have been ordered by
high official authority. The frequent
recurrence of these outrages shows the
desperation of the Democratic leaders
and their conviction that they can only
succeed next fall by theft or fraud, and
that il there is an honest election they
will be defeated beyond all hope of re-
demption. 1t behooves Republicans
everywhere to be on the alert against
the unscrupulous and desperate trick

and is practiced by its agents in the
