THE POINT OF THE FEDERAL ELEC-
TON BILE

The New York World quotes a well
known Western Republican journal on
the Federal Election bill as follows:
The most important feature Of the bill,
when 10 comes down % practical results IS
the one making the certificate OF the super
visor of Election, and not the Governor
of the State. I'm case the two conflict,
prima-flcie evidence Of election. The CLERK
must give il that preference. This IS ply-
otal 10 the actual working effect OF the bill.
| Leave that out and the bin would be al
most worthless.
There is frank brutality about the
about the above, which is not usually
found in the hypocritical prctcnSious Of
the supporters OF the Federal Election
/ bin. Continuous victory the Republic
can party must have" Speaker REED
declared in his famous address at Pitts
burg. and this unblushing confession of
the prime object Of the Federal election

clsm. Its well for the Republican or
cans 10 say that the provision making
the certificate OF the Supervisor OF Flee
tons and not the Governor Of the State.
priina ficie evidence Of election" is the
most important feature OF the bill
That provision is Gt instrument OF
DUDLEY, QUAY and their horde Of polit-
lical debauchees. corruptioniSts and
thieves. Under it the power OF the
people 10 make their own elections in
their own way disappears as completely
aS If it had never been. Republican
partisan supervisors, owing obedience
TO no law but party necessity, are made
registration board. judges ndreturning
board, aud there is uoappeal from their
irresponsible decree. \ Republican
Clerk OF the House accepts these fraud
Iulent certificates, aud a Republican ma
iority In the House is secured from them.
The candid organ is right. Without
this infamous provision, the bill would
be almost worthless, for It's only by
overriding. crushing and classifying the
will Of the people. that the Republican
party can have continuous power.
The title of the Federal election bill
should be "a bill to destroy froc cleo
tons. To surround the polls with hired
lrufians, aud TO perpctuate the rule OF
the REEDS, QUANS and DUpLENS OF the
Republican party" An election under
