The New Ballot Law.

Extract from Speech of Hon. Lloyd Wilkinson
in Baltimore, Oct 1871
Republican rascality having compelled the
Governor to call the Legislature in extra ses-
sion to prevent this conspiracy census frauds
from being consummated, and, being i'm
pressed with the great necessity of so amend
ing the Ballot law as to prevent as far as pos
sible the wholesale purchase of voters at
every recurring election, made possible by
certain provisions of the Ballot law passed in
1896, recommended the passage of certain
amendments to prevent as far as possible bri-
berry at elections. There never has been
law upon our statute books where bribery
could be so extensively practiced as under
the law of 1896. The ballot clerk was simply
a medium by which the transaction could be
completed. Prior TO 1896 he was a sworn
officer, but our Republican friends with an
eye to the future, at that time left him entire
ly unhampered and free to act as their inan-
cial agent. When this law was under discus
sion at the extra session, prominent Repub-
leans admitted freely that bribery was prac-
ticed extensively under it and should be
stopped.
In framing our amendments we were ex-
ceedingly careful not to interfere with the
machinery of the law. Every safeguard to
protect the voter, both in the casting and the
counting of his ballot, was retained. No ad
vantage was given to any party. Every
change made in that law was made in the in
terest of fair elections. Desiring to eliminate
bribery in the State, we abolished the ballot
clerk and compelled the voter to go alone in
his booth and vote the pure Australian ballot,
with no eye to see what was done and then
report to others. Is it not plain that when
the purchaser has no chance of knowing how
the vote is cast he will be exceedingly oath
to deal with the voter? For the same reason
he is compelled to use an indelible pen
Gil, to make his mark within the square, so
that no part extends outside, and to make no
other kind than cross mark, all of which are
rendered necessary if you wish to prevent all
chance of bribery. fpermitted to mark with
any kind of pencil and make any kind of
mark it will be readily seen that the door will
be opened for many cases of corrupt voting
The Republicans charge US with some base
design in these efforts to prevent bribery, but
when we consider that there is no earthly way
these provisions can inure to the benefit of
either party, but bear equally upon all, how
senseleSs such criticism seems.
