SYSTEM OF SUCCESSION.

When ii comes to endorsing the thor
oughness, efficiency and honesty with
which Our State government is adminis-
tered TIE Felicanas is an administra-
ton organ. When it comes to opposing
the idea or principle of an administra-
ton endeavoring to perpetuate itself, Or
name its successors, or to throw the
weight and power of its influence in op-
position to free and untrammeled
choice of the people, then it is anti
misunderstanding Felicianas.
The free and untrammeled choice of
the people" is a delusion The people
have been Shared so often until they
have about lost all energy of resistance.
In no State of the Union is there such
at1tocracy maintained in the name of
Democracy. This condition, however,
will continue until the Democracy, the
Democrats who vote, shall resist and
overthrow the outrageous system of Sic
cession.
