The Legislature will assemble in
this city on the 9th. A good many
members and visitors are on the
ground already.
The Governors message to the
Legislature will be completed this
evening. He takes strong, high
grounds against electoral corruption
and by inference condemns the
managers Of the Republican cam
paign in this State in the strongest
terms.
The message discusses the danger
to our form of government as the
result of corrupt elections, and then
will say:
"Reproach has been cast upon our
State as never before by illegal,
fraudulent and corrupt voting in
almost every county within its
bounds. This is SO notorious as to
admit of no question.
The capitations of 1884 were 1885,
522, and the entire vote after the
most active political campaign ever
made in the State was 137, 5s7. -
The capitations in 1888 were 147,-
4O8, and the entire vote was 159, 40.
This shows an increase in votes in
four yearasof q, e5s. which ilegiti-
mate would indicate a population of
900, 900, an increase in four years of
much more than 100000. 1t is Ger
tain that no such increase has tax.
en- place. 1t will be seen that while
the capitations increased 14,065, the
entire vote increased 1853. The
capitations are correct and conclu-
sive proof that nearly 5000 illegal
votes were cast.
The message recommends: ''T6at
a registration law be enacted, and
our election laws be SO amended,
that bribery and fraudulent voting
may be prevented and the purity of
the ballot be preserved"
1t is further recommended chat
false registering or voting, bribery
or abetting bribery, attempting to
prevent any man from voting by
giving or offering to give anything
of value, or any shift to escape the
registration laws and election laws
shall be made feIonious crimes,
Any person, whether implicated on
not, shall be compelled to testify
concerning such offenses, and statute
or Limitation shall bar a prosecu-
ton"
A large portion of the message
will be devoted to corruption and
the use of money in the selection of
candidates for public offices; trusts,
combinations and conspiracies to
Cypress the people and enrich the
few; railroad Determinations on
freight and passenger charges, and
the custom of giving railroad passes
to public officers and delegates to
political conventions. The Cover

der some of these heads, and the
whole makes an able, comprehen-
sive document. The reports of the
various State officers were received
too late TO be included, and they
will be made the subject of a special
message.

the way the editor OF the Gazette

1900 Republican majority in Kama

of politics. When a man is elected

can, we want to see him get it; and
we will resort to no questionable
methods to keep him out of it. 1t

system of checks and balances es-
tablished by it--on the one hand,
through the National Government,
within its orbit. and on the other

and preiudices, against which these
great aud noble barriers were estab-

We confidently look to see the
Republican party break down in its
attempt to govern the country. 1t
is still war party. It's not for ma
tional uses, or for the sake of peace.
It's amusing spark is a malign spirit
of domination caught from the dying
brands of sectional triumph of
which it was the lucky accident.
cohesive principle is system of
legaIized robbery and jobbery, born
of the war, which appeals to organ
lied capital, and the pledge of
agrarian pillage, given to an army
of camp followers, with whom it pro
poses to disgrace the American SOL
dier's roll of honor, the pension list.
1t has no fixed ideas OF convictions,
but is merely an aggregation of all
that is spurious and fanciful in
morals, of all that is false and vi
cious in. economics, of all that is time
serving and corrupt in methods. 1t
is, where it is best, a maudlin senti-
mentalist, and, where it is worst, an
adventurer and sharper, trading
upon the passions of such fools as it
is able to bamboozle, buy or bully.
1t cannot last. 1t may not wreck
the country; butt will surely wreck
itself.
Such is the Republican party, and
whatever it attemps, wherever it
appears, let it be met by the honest,
earnest Democrats of the East and
the West, the North and the South,
with all the remonstrance and re-
sistance that brave, but temperate,
men can give to this party, which

and the refinement of weaIth-much,
also, among the leaders, of Ran

and stinks and shines-is yet, in its
totality, the sum of intolerance and
reactionism; prodigal of promises
and reckless of consequences; to the
rich, slave; to the poor dema-
gogue; but leading us down the
steep incline tothe abyss OF a plutoc-
racy, yawning to receive all that
is useful and good in our politicts,
