MANHOOD SUFFRAGE THE CORRECT
THING.
50 Any excluded class in popular

that others enjoy becomes conspir.

write. So it would be better if every
voter were healthy, moral, we'll

but this is unattainable. Manhood
suffrage is the thing. There are
plenty Of men who are ilIiterate, yet
good citizens; and lots OF fellows
who have money and can speak

scoundrels.n

political party that should advocate
such restrictions would incur the
animosity OF those to be excluded

requiring longer residence before
foreigners could vote, unless both
parties should concur neither would
