The National Election bill is a mod
crate measure. It is not force bill; it
does not interfere in any way with local
elections or local government. 1t does
not involve extravagant expenditure,
nor is it sectional in it's scope. It does
not seek to put the negro or any other
class of citizens in control anywhere,
but aims merely to secure to every man
who ought to vote the right to vote and
to have his vote honestly, counted. No
one knows these facts to be true better
than the opponents of the bill; but their
difficulty is that they cannot bring for
ward their real and honest objection,
and so they resort to much skrieking
and many epithets. They believe,
whether rightly or wrongly, that fair
elections mean the loss of the National
House at least nine times out of ten to
the party to which they belong. They
believe that fair elections mean the risk
of Republican party in every Southern
State. led by and IN good part composed
of white men, native to the ground,
whose votes are now suppressed under
the pretence Of maintaining race su-
premacy as against the negro. They
believe that the law threatens the dis
appearance of the race issue on which
they found their powers, and the fall of
the narrow oligarchy which for SO many
years has ruled with iron hand in the
Southern States and in the national
conventions of the Democratic party.
The real objection to the bill. in other
words. comes from the fact that one of
the two great parties believe that free
elections imperil their power. They
know that by this great bill the United
States officers, taken from both parties,
are appointed by the courts. the body
farthest removed from politics. They
know that these United States officers
will be held in check by local officers
anu De utterly unable TO interfere With
the proper conduct Of the election. But
they know also that the result will be
publicity, and they believe that in con-
sequence of publicity many districts
will be lost to them. This law is as fair
to one party as another; but if one party
is cheating, that party will suffer, and
where the cry against the law is loudest
it is the best evidence of its necessity,
and proves that those who resist it pro-
fit by the wrong doing which it seeks to
cure. Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge in
North American Review for Septem-
Der.
