but if this plan will not be consented
to, / would suggest, second, that able,
upright counsel be employed at every
county seat to see that justice is done
when the ballot is being counted, and
if it is as~certained that fraud is prac-
ticed, we will then have redress through
the courts. I am not one of those who
believe that all D mocrats, judges and
courts are the offspring of a vigorous
generation, but to the contrary there
are many good men in their ranks who
are anxious to see justice done though
the heavens fall. There are Democratic
lawyers and Republican lawyers who,
for the sake of advancing Christ's
kingdom on earth, would act as coun-
sci for any party that is being wronged
and cheated out of their votes; and [
would be willing to accept their opinion

ulist to the manner born, and would
