Union has q better record.
After stating the deplorable condition
OF tue States finances when Foraker's

there was money in the treasury, NO

State debt at the lowest rate oi any State

The Democrats don't like the election

fair, and free elections are held,
NO HONEST MAN OBJECTS
to election boards, except the man who
has no right to vote. The Democratic
party has been against free and fair elpc'
lion laws since the election OF Polk,
when 1000 unnaturalized foreigners
voted In New York, $50 rullians carried
the State OF Louisiana, and Harry OF the
West, the greatest champion Of protec.
tion, was robbed OF the Presidency. The
Cypher campaign OF 1875, and the Tweed
frauds In New York in 1868 only cor

party does not like election boards.
Campbell talks about there being q de-

ship. Why, Ills own party lives and
thrives by throttling the rights Of the
citizens OF eleven States, and say now
that tho matters OF tariff, civil service,
and others will never be settled until
the agitation Of the great underlying
principle Of equality Of citizenship is
settled.
We are not going longer to permit the
blacks Of the South Ia be stood up and
counted for votes In the Electoral Col
lege, Representatives in Congress, and
then stood aside when their ballots
should be counted. The agitation OF
this great question will go on until every
voter shall do as he pleases, and the bal
lot is counted as cast.
Let US send Doodle 10 the rear and put

is 10 do our duty and leave the rest to
God. Let US be honest, be Just and obey
the Constitution OF the United States,
and some remedy will be found to make
the other States do this.
