FAIR ELECTION POSSIBLE.

We clip this editorial from the

Here IL Louisville good men,
good Citizens. ali honest party
men whether they be Republicans
Or be Democrats. have reason to
feel encouraged and to rejoice. It
has been exempIifed that per-
fectly fair election Is possible.
That IS the best any Of Us should
desire.
Before another year rolls around
there ought to be organized such
. nOnpartisan body Of citizens as
viii prove strong enough " com
pei all elections TO be honest. and
70 give both parties sbsOlute As
surance Of the rights Of each. For
ten years We have seen the black
flag wave above our voting places,
each party doing it, uttermost to
get the better Of the other. Quar-
ter has rarely been asked or given.
We have had a state Of quasi-civil
war. To the Democrats, not to
the Republicans. do We owe the
order and fairness of Tuesdays
election, but this is likely to he
short-liyed unless good Rcpubli-
cans join good Democrats in good
faith TO force it in the future.
