Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-01-09

portant matters TO the people of the State is a
revision of our election and registration laws.
The late election has furnished us evidences of
fraud and attempted fraud in the registration of
voters and in the returns of the election. The
elective franchise is the cornerstone the very
foundation OF our system of government, and if
citizens cannot be protected in this sacred right
then the ballot is a farce and our Government a
failure
The people demand of us an amendment of
the present system, and commend this matter
to your early consideration. If we should do no
more than to find Dreventive of fraud in the
registration, counting and making returns of
votes, we will deserve the commendation OF the
people. And now, in conclusion, for the dis
tinction with which YOU have honored me, and
believing that l shall have your cooperation
and assistance, permit me to again return my
grateful thanks. [Applause.]
