POLITICAL CORRUPTION. The lSenti-
et in speaking of the two tickets, the
earness of the election and the ex- f
tence still of the machine that has t
lptured the offices, says:
The provisions of the new Constitu-
on have apparently put beyond the L
zach of the criminals who have here
fore robbed the ballot of its sacred
ess and deprived the people of the ex- r
'ession of their will and choice, the n
uits of an honest ballot. .
We expect fair election, but if it is a
'cured, it will in no sense be due to n
le honesty of fair play of the corrupt \
Id conscienceless crew who still q
aintain their hold upon the machin- T
y of the party in power, of the State {
I'd the county. But let no Republi-
a, let no man fatter himself with .
q notion that the possibility or dan =
II of trickery and fraud have been .
minated by the Constitution or the =
ws. Let no man imagine that a
eating aud dishonesty have disap- n
ared from the face of the earth. :,
le Constitution and laws give no q
Iarantv of honactv an5 .,,:A >.
