The members of the Constitutional
Convention are SO determined that
undue influence shall not be used to
induce iuen to vote for any particular
candidates, that man may not ask his
neigLbor to leave his party without rem
dering himself liable to be indicted for the
act In former times political questions
were discussed at length and men were
openly invited to leave the free trade party
and vote for protection, but under the new
constitution such act will be treated as
misdemeanor, and the person so offending
be liable to be sent to prison, or at least be
ai5franchised, This may DO putting tho
provision In rather strong light, but we
can hardly tell how far an active partisan
may go to convert his hereto neighbor
from the errors OF his political croed with
out getting himself into trouble, particu-
larly II he be Republican. Honest vot-
ing, forsooth, the Democrats do not want
1t. We have not had an honest Democrat
ic assessor, nor fair Democratic tax col
lector for years, and what is more, we need
not look for honest dealing in these offices
80 long as they have any influence on the
election. By providing that the assess
ment and payment of tax are not needed
