A Southern journal speaks of the elec-
ton law of the State in which it is pub
lished as "a force bill disguised as an
election law" The descrip ion is a true
one; as some of these so called Austra1-
ian laws put the elections under the al
most absolute control of two or three
men and remove every opportunity to
detect any malfeasance upon their part,
much less to punish it. In several of
the Southern States, Republicans, white
and black, are almost completely disf1an.

Our Democratic brethren have had a
run of bad luck with the courts lately.
They cavorted frightfully over Scar"
Reeds rulings, but the courts sustained
these rulings. They denounced the Nc
kinley bill as unconstitutional, but the
courts sustained that. They gerryman '.
ere Wisconsin, and the courts overruled
their rascality. They state the New
York Senate, and the courts have teen
thorn in their sides ever since, Thew
endorsed Hill in paying thief for his
roguery by placing him on the Supreme
bench, and disrupted the party. And,
in nearly every case, it has been Demo-
cratic Judges who have thus foiled Dem
ocratic rascality.

Foster people charged intimidation and

Referring to short editorial remark
in recent issue of The APPEAL in which
we spoke of "Nincompoop Cameron and
Shyster Quay" the New York Age SAYS:
"Senator Cameron and Senator Quay are
fairly representatives of the character
and ability the average Republican lead
ers. To speak of them in such sighting
and disparging terms is to damn the en-
tire school Of politicians they represent.
Does The APPEAL mean to do that?'
Yes. We are perfectly willing to damn
such men either sngly or in schools.
