ed on the theory that should the slight
est hint OF what was in progress reach
the citv administration, the macsine
would be warned and our plans suffer
defeat. IL is our sure expectation that
at every step in the prosecution OF the
arrested suffers and repeaters the city
administration will do its best TO
thwart the law. Were the police force
which is under the orders OF the city
administration to be placed at the ser
vice of the people instead Of the ma
chine for a single election day, the
vote of the machine would fall on
from 10000 10 $4,000.
GREAT RESULTS COMING.
sTbe North American looks for great
and lasting results from this work
which il is doing. The people will be
roueed to make a demand that must
be irresistible for ballot laws that shall
render these wholesale frauds impossi-
HE II is imperative that we should
have such laws. for until they have
baan enacted the machine vii continue
IN rule Pennsylvania, and while the
machine rules we must be governed
bv scoundrels who differ only from
those the North American has failed
in the pr%feunder degree Of vickedness
that IS given them by their greater
power. The machine is but another
name for II. s Quay, man who, II
legal proof were furnished Of what he
has done. and what is of common noto-
riety. would be in the penitentiary.
"The North American before it Is
done with the machine may achieve
the public service of putting him there.
Meantime it is the duty ofevery hon
est man in Pennsylvania 10 array him
self against this criminal organization
from whose election methods The
North American has drawn aside a cor
ner OF the veil. and only corner. We
are without republican government in
this American state The rule under
which we live is as foul in its corrup-
ton as the worst that the sultan OF
Turkey can give"
