American people. You sunpose that it is
mere accident, that Lthere have been eight
thieves among southern state treasurers in
the last three years. 1t is not an accident
it is because there is no fair expression OF
popular opinion. To make your govern
ment pure you cannot begin by corrupting
the source of government.
Moreover there are evils in our own sec
tion of the country. There are great cities
where there are serious frauds on the cleo
tions. and every fraud so perpetrated nulli-
fies my vote and nullifes yours. All that
mands, is that we shall spread those cleo
tions open so that all men may look upon
them
