lacking all public wrongs however strongly in-
trenched they may be, behind wealth or political
power, and they will have no reason to complain

to remedy this state of things. they must first
begin to treat criminals those who are found
guilty of participation in fraud They must
first begin to overthrow by their votes the party
that permits and encourages such fraud Their
frs duty is to treat such party as an enemy Of
the public welfare.-New York Tribune.
