New York was carried by this sort OF
businoss for Horatio Seymour, but tho
United States was aroused by the con-
duct. 1t was such acts MS this that led
to tho enactment OF tho federal election
law. Docs tho senator from Illinois
think it was tho duty OF tho United
States to takc cognizance OF these viola.

"Nly answer" said Senator Palmer,
"iH that the instance put by no means
justifes tho law. Tho fact that there
was crime in New York furnishes no
reason for subjecting any other con-
grcssional district in tho United States
to tho act OF placing over, them super
visors and masters. Nothing Of that
kind justifes tho placing Of the whole
country under supervision"
II am disappointed with tho senator"
said Senator Frye. II do not think he

recruits, he Ia even worse. Laughter

owes that citizen some duty"
Senator Frye then quoted tho consti-

"Why, there is not senator on this
floor" said Mr.. Frye, "who could per-
haps interpret the constitution OF tho
United States to the satisfaction OF IN
examining committee as is required by
tho constitution OF Mississippi"
THAT constitution. then" suggested
Senator Palmer, very much resembles
the constitution OF Hawaii established
by the provisional government"

Senator Bate, OF Tenn essee, inter.
rupted to read the following provision
from the constitution OF Massachusetts:
"EYery male citizen of twenty.one

or person under guardianship, who Is
able to read the constitution of the
commonwealth in tho English language
and write his name shall be entitled to
vote"
at there had been added to that" re.
torted Mr.. Frye, "the words il he could
