of people who are no more quali-
fed to exercise the right of suffrage
than to lecture on astronomy. How are
these things to be corrected: By laws of
compulsory education well executed. /
go in for law which, after giving fair
warning for a few years, shall make igno-
rance q crime. There is no excuse for
ignorance on these subjects in this land,
where the common schools make knowl-
edge as free as the fresh air of Heaven. I
would have a board Of examination seated
beside the officers of administration and
let them decide whether the men who
come up to vote have any capacity to be
monarchs In a land where we are all mon
archs. One of the most awful foes Of the
American ballot box to-day is popular ig-
norance. Educate the people, give them
an opportunity to know and understand
what they do. If they will not take the
education deny them the vote.
Another powerful enemy of this sacred
chest, the ark Of the American covenant
the belIot-box. is spurious voting. In 1880,
in Brooklyn, there were q thousand names
recorded Of persons who had no residence
here, and if there were q thousand at
tempted fraudulent votes in the best city
IN the continent what may we expect in
cities not so fortunates What q grand
thing is the law Of registration! Without
il elections in this country would be a
farce.
There must be a scrutiny on this SUBJ
ject- The law must have keenest twist for
the neck Of repeaters. Something more
than slight fine and short Imprisonment
1t is an attempt at the assassination Of the
Republic, when a man attempts to put in
q spurious vote. In olden times when
men laid nnhoiy hands on the ark of the
covenant they dropped down dead W.T.
ness Czzah- And when men attempt to
put unholy hands on the American ballot
box. the ark Of the American covenant
they deserve determination.

occasioued by the secret arts and open vio-
lence of foreign and domestic dema gogues.
As one tribute of gratitude in these times
this monument to the talent and service of
the deceased is raised by the Sentinel"
Under such defamation As that Thomas
Jefferson went into office.
My father told me that when Andrew
Jackson was running for President of the
United States the whole land was flooded
with coffin neutrality-suspicious. of six dead
men, in allusion to the six deserters whom
Andrew Jackson had shot, and all the pic
torials OF those times represented Jackson
as taking his Office from the hand Of the
devil.
1 saw at Put-in-Bay, O., in q museum .
prominent paper of 1874, which spoke of
Henry Clay as a gambler, libertine, and
a murderer: and the manner in which he
was DETAINED and the outrages which were
heaped upon him may be well guessed
from Mr.. Clay's eulogy ofhis native State,
K-ntucky- He said: "When 1 seemed to
be assaulted by all the rest Of the world she
interposed her broad and impenetrable
shield, repealed the poisoned shafts that
were aimed for my destruction and vindi.
Gated my good name from every malig-
nant and unfounded aspersion."
Defamation. 1t is the curse Of the
American ballot-box. Just as soon IS in
the great cities man is put up for once
he is made the target. The fact that he is
up is prima facie evidence that he must be
brought down. His public life and his
private life are scrutinized and ali the
electric lights arc turned on. How often
it is that men have gone down under such
things. In every autumnal election the
air is filed with carrion Crows scenting
carcasses. Cav! Cav! Cav! There are
newspapers in the United States that in
the great autumnal elections take Wild
license for liberty. They are filed with cal.

one vote Will De as goOQ as the Other.
Snow storm of SURFACES, and then these
white fakes can be gathered together and
compacted into an avalanche that will
slide down in expression of the will Of the
people. Stand out of the way of it! In the
awful sweep of this white avalanche let
political fraud go down a thousand feet
under. You have not only q vote, you
have q prayer. The prayer may be
mightier than the vots. o, As citizens of
this beautiful city and Of this State and
Of this Nation, let US do our whole
duty. We can not live under any
other form Of government than that
which God has given US in this country.
The stars on our flag are not the stars
of a thickening night, but the stars
sprinkled amid the bars Of morning cloud.
We are going to have one government on
this entire continent Let the despotisms
of Asia keep their feet OF the Pacific
coast and let the tyrannies Of Europe
keep their feet of the Atlantic coast We
are going TO have one government Mex
leo will follow Texas into the Union and
Christianity and civilization will stand
side by side in the halls of the Monte
zumas. And if not in our day then in the
day of our children. Yucatan and Con-
trail America will come in, while on
the North Canada will be ours, not BY
conQuest-O, no. American and English
swords may never clash blades-but we
will woo our fair neighbor Of the North
and then England will say to Canada:
''You are old enough for the marriage
day." and then turning will say: Giant
of the West, go take your BRIDE" And
then from Bafiin's bay to the Caribbean
there will be one government under one
dag, with one destiny-a free. undisputed,
Christianized American continent. God
save the city Of Brooklyn God save the
commonwealth Of New York God save
the Union.
