Cooper and success are Synonymous.
In fact, he can turn clod of dirt into

Unless there is free ballot and a
fair count and an acquiescence in the
results of elections, a Republic cannot
live. In South Carolina there is not
free ballot. In Louisiana there is
not a fair count and in Kentucky
there is not acquiescence in the re-
suits of elections. Yet the party
whose strength in Congress depends
on such methods is now posing as the
friend of freedom and the saviour of
free institutions.
