such constitutional or tatutory changes as
may be necessary to secure the choice OF the ON.

membership and composed OF patriotic wise
and impartial men, to whom q consideration OF
the questions of the evils connected with our
EJECT ons system and methods might be commit
ted with !. good prospect OF securing ulianimlty
in some plan for removing or mitigating
those evils. The constitution would
permit the selection Of the -, commission aadss
that method would give the guarantee OF i'm.
Partially. This commission should be CHARGED
with the duty OF inuuirillg into the whole sub
iect OF the law OF elections as related to the
choice OF officers OF the national government
with view to securing to every elector a free
and unmoested exercise OF the suffrage and as
near an approach to an equality OF value IN
each ballot cast as is attainAbie.'
The demand that the limitations OF suffrage
shall be found in the laws only, Is just demand
and no Just man should resent or RESIST it. 1t
seemed TO NE that an appeal to our people to
consider the question OF readjusting our lesisa-
ton upon ABSOLUTELY iair non-parlisai lines

UNFAIR ADVANTAGES
used to perpetua teln power faction OF Il party
against the will OF the majority OF the people.
OF this we seem to have an Illustration i'll the
recent state election in Alabama. There was no
Republican, ticket i'll the field. The contest was
between white Democrats. The kolb party Say
they were refused the representation guaranteed
bylaw upon the election boards; and tilat when
right this wrong, an appeal that could not
be heard until alter the ecc. ON made the

asserted on behalf OF one-half. ;.i least OF the
white voters OF Alabama, that ~ officers to
honestly elected. There is security for the
personal or political rights. The power OF the
states over the question OF the qualification OF
electors is ample to protect them against the
dangers OF an ignorant or
DEpnAvED SUFFRAGE,
and the demand that every man found to be
the right to cast Il Tree ballot and TO have that
vote honestly counted ,nnot he abated. Our
Ola republican battle cry, "a Tree ballot and a
fair cunHt. COMES back to us, not only from
Alabama. but from other states aud from men
