frauds in st. Louis, aud especially

law, is responsible for them. The
restrictions of the law rs TO frana-

clear and stringent enough, and II
is only partisan prejudice and in

what political rascsiity is alone
responsible. Unless there were
corrupt collision between the
judges and clerks Of election, who
have charge not only OF TIE polls
but Of the registratian OF voters in
