JUDGE BARTLETT CHARGING THE JURY.
STRIKES at the very foundation Of our system Of
government. This is a partisan question.
No people can be ruled by minority succeeding
by fraud and trickery at the polls Not since
the firing on Fort Sumter in 1851 have the people
of this country been so startled as they were
when 1t was published that Gravesend town
having only S4OO people twenty months before
had registered $500 voters. Everybody knew it
was He and that those registry lists recorded
a gigantic lie. In most Of our communities the
number Of women predominant over the number
OF men. All through the East the number or
women surpass the number of men. and we know
that the proportion OF voters to that population
ranges from to Az to 5, 5h and 6. Therefore
when the community was told on the eve Of an
exciting general election that such a registration
had been made in the town Of Gravesend, they
knew what il meant and they realized the dam
ger. One hundred thousand men within
iquartor Of century consented 10 die that the
nation might live. After demonstrating its
strength and power to maintain itself in war;
the question now presented is whether it shall
fall before the attack OF the John Y. McKanes
of this country"
General Tracy explained the registry law. and
the duty incumbent upon those in charge Of
registry lists to make them accessible to the

ing a candidate for Justice of the Supreme
Court was entitled TO knowledge respecting

running candidate. lie detailed the story so
often told. of the efforts of the Gravesend copy
fists TO prevent those sent by Mr.. Gaynor 10
make a copy Of the lists from obtaining them.
and in this connection he introduced the sug-
gestion of McKane that Mr. Gaynor should
have copies OF the lists made under his direc-
ton, and his subsequent reply that II Mr.. Gay
nor did not accept that suggestion he would
have hard time to get them.
What right had he to issue an order that no
should have copy Of those lists without
an order from him." inquired the counsel He
had no more legal right to interfere with those
rolls than you have have. Why did he
do 1t? Only in his capacity of ruler Of Graves

dominating influence of John Y McKane at
Gravesend In that town he was supreme and
absolute, and man doubted 1t. We had a
painful disclosure of this power yesterday, when
an official Of the town had wrung from him
the statement-the shameful confesson-that the
records of his office at the service and dis
sposal of the servants Of John Y. McKane.
Do you want any more pregnant illustration of
the power of John Y. McKane in that town
than that spirit OF bossism which led him to tell

those registry lists without order from him !?

such an order; and would he not be here II he
had never given that answer to Mr.. Gaynor's
men," He narrated the statements made by
Mr.. McKane to Mr.. Mayer to the effect that
Mr.. Gaynor should be supplied with the copies
and the alleged conversation which took place
between Mr. McKane and Mr.. Grout over the
telephones The counsel emphasized the state
ment from the standpoint Of the prosecution as
showing that the defendant willing to fur
nish copies Of the lists to Mr.. Gaynor. but after
ward denied access to those lists by representa-
tives Of Mr.. Gaynor.
General Tracy then touched upon the affidavit
connected with the order by Judge Cullen. Said
he: John Y. McKane concealed in this affidavit
the very heart and life of the matter and at
tempted to defeat 1t upon Its merits" Here he
read the affidavit In which Mc4lane had stated
that he had inspected the registry lists. which
statement he contradicted on the witness stand.
THE DIRECT CHARGE OF PERJURY.
Then General Tracy, assuming dramatic at
ttude exclaimed: did he not know that George
Roderick was writing that statement and that
he told Roderick TO put that in the affidavit?
II he did, how absolutely immatera is 1t
whether he read 1t or not? Do you think that
lawyer writing affidavit for client would
put so material statement into it without any
instructions from his client? I repeat. How
came George Rodertck to put that most mys-
terious statement in that affidavit?' Did he do
II without the knowledge OF John Y. McKane?
Did he do 1t without his instruction and au-
thority? Never Therefore John Y. McKane
stands convicted here OF having committed
perjury in that mandamus proceeding or Of
committing perjury in his trial. The question

demonstration OF guilt. in a miscarriage of JUS
