What 15 tbe reason that every Dem ocratic speaker and organ of character aud position should nut say to tbe South Carolina tallot-box stuffets and tbe Mississippi bull dozers and tbe Arkan sas manipulators of returns, no more of that? A New York excharge says : Sun day is tbe day when tbe most callers are to be seen at tbe Democratic Na tional CVnimittee rooms in New York, and wben tbe greatest activity prevails there. Mr. barnum, chairman of tbe committee, as a rule, holds a Sunday levee, vben callers are oonvivial and generous. The committee regards its Sunday collections as tbe most profita ble. The Huntingdon Globe says that come of Speer's friends are offering to give votes for Garfield in exchange for Republican rotes for Speer. We trust that none of our Republican friends either tbere or bere will be canght in any tech trap as this. Speer wants rotes veiy badly, tnt Garfield will have many thousand to .spare in this State, nd Speer knows very well that Han cock will not be injured by bis friends in making this tisdo. Til ERE are at least twe hundred thou sand men in Pennsylvania directly de pendent on Republican policy on tbe tariff for their bread and butter. Here tofore many of these men voted Demo cratic tickets, but tbe course of tbe Democratic party cn the iul jet of pro te o ion has been so infamously treach erous, betraying not only tbe interests f laboring men, but placing capital at the mercy of unfair competition from abroad, that all business and laboring men are now forced into tbe necessity of fighting the free trade measures of the Democratic party to preserve their means of making a living, and prevent what tbey have earned in honest living from being swept away from them Hirruburg Telegraph. The Kennebec Journal says this -mevk of the Maine situation: Out side of the question of the choice of Governor, the Republicans have a large majority in House and Senate, will elect tbe Executive Council and all the beads of departments, also tbe United States Senator which is to be chosen next win ter. Of tbe Senators elected, twenty two are Republicans and nine Fusion ists. Of tbe Representatives, eigbty six are Republicans and sixty five Fa-ioui.-ts. Two thirds at least of tbe county officers elected are Republicans. The Republicans have carried every city in tbe State, and a large majority of tbe towns. Tbey hare carried three Congiest-ional dis'riota, and though not sucoessful in electing tbeir candidates in the other two, have mada large gains in them on the popular vote. " Governor Citli om, of Illinois, Las ordered the election of four addi tional judges for the Cook county Su perior Court. The addition to the ju diciary was rendered necessary by tbe large increase of population given to Cook county and Chicago by tbe last census. Superintendent Walker gives tbe official figures of the Cook county population as six hundred aud seven thousand five buodr3d and thirty-eijrht, which includes the city of Chicago." In tbe election of additional judges, as above stated, for tbe Chicago, Illi nois, district is foreshadowed just what the Democracy will do with the Su preme Court of the United States if thev get into power. Tbey will en large it, cn account of tbe increased population, and then will arise tbe ques tion of framing such questions to be carried up to it as will result in declar ing tbe bankiog laws and tbe laws under which tbe greenback was created, un constitutional, nail and void, just as Andy Johnson's Attorney General de clared tb reconstruction laws uncon stitutional. Lebanon swarms with tramp. Grand Kepabficaa Bally at East Salem. A grand Republican Rally took place at East Salem last Saturday night. It was tbe largest demonstration that has been held in that place. The grand feature of the oc casion wax the 60 torch-bearing horsemen that were ia line. It was the desire of many that the meeting should be an on t -door meeting, aa no building in the place was of sufficient site to hold half the people pres ent, but tbe speakers had a dread of the effect of the night air, and on that account the meeting was held ia a Urge school bouse at the south end of town. Not half tbe people could get into the house. A large percentage of the audience in the building was composed of ladies. A dele gation from McAlistcrsville was present, also a delegation from the vicinity of Brown's Mills. It was a source of regret that no building in the place was large enough to hold all the people. Tbe best the boys could do outside was to walk, and parade, and shout at such times aa best suited themselves, which sometimes did not chime in with the comfort of those who bad seats inside tbe building. Jeremiah Louden.lsger is President, and Mr. Shurts, Jr., is Secretary of tbe Garfield and Arthur Club, nnder whose auspices the meeting was held. They were present, and their manner ot dispatch of business indi cates executive ability of uncommon order, as officers of a public meeting. The meeting was addressed by J-remiah Lyons and B. F. Schweier. Mr. Lyons was the first speaker. He was introduced by Mr. S hurts. Secretary of the meeting. In an able and convincing manner he discussed tbe issues of tbe dv, and it is a source of regret that his speech waa not sufficiently outlined on paper as to secure its publica tion, as a number of people who could not get seata in tbe building; were anxious to I h."ar it, and expect to see it in print. At the conclusion of Mr. Lyons' speech, B. T. Schweier was- introduced by Secretary Shurtz. A full outline of bis speech may be fornd in the following report : Schweier said : Mr.Chairman. Ladies and Oentlemen On the 23d day of last Septem ber the telegraph flashed a message through ont the Und a message that has given, as it were, a new inspiration to the Democratic party, because, by its promise they expect to win many votes, and to-night it furnishes one of the text points that bristle from a thousand Democratic political camp-fires from the Canada line to tbe Mexican border. The message is in tbe form of a letter from tbe chief standard-bearer of the Democratic party ; it was dispatched by General Han- cok, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. With your permission, Mr. Chairman addressing Mr. Loudens! ager, Chairman of the meeting I will read the letter, not because of any new doctiine that it promulgates, bnt because of its promise, and tbe declaration from Democratic speak ers and Democratic Journalists that Repub lican speakers and journalists will conceal the letter from people of their political faith. Tbe Hancock letter is in regard to the payment of claims that originated through rebellion, and to declare that the letter will not be given to Republican read ers and hearers is a wrong declaration, and the force of tbe untruth will tall on the men who make it, for tbe Republican party is pre-eminently an intelligent party and comes to conclusions as to the merits, or right and wrong of questions by reading what the op ponent may say and write, and that, Mr. Chairman, is my reason for reading the let ter. Letter read. Where General Ean cocs learned the art of state-craft, or learned state diplomacy the letter does not say, but it is a model of state-craft composition. King William's chief cabinet officer, Bis marck, could not excel it, and if Bismarck should die, tbe King of Germany could do no better than to put Hancock in bis cabi net as chief diplomatist. The letter is a promise, and a declaration a promise that the Southern war claims shall not be paid, and a declaration that the time has come to pronounce against tbe pay ment of the claims ot Northern men. It pats tbe rebel and the Union men on one and tbe same level, as to claims on govern ment, and just to that degree sinks the cause of the North by putting it on a level with the cause of the South. Tbere is one sentence in it that reads " Sobody txpecle or rants such unnatural action," which sen tence la in direct contradiction of tbe files of Congress, lor it is well known to the world that many want just such nnnatoral action, as is proven by tbe millions of dol lars of claim biils that are on file awaiting a favorable time to pass them through Con gress. How Hancock can put such a de liberate misstatement bclore the country is nut understood. But, Sir, when we come la consider the letter of promise of General Hancock in the life-lit of history of prominent men of tbe Democratic party, in the light of former Democratic candidate (or the Presidency, in the light of the promises m.idj by James K. Polk and James Buchanan, it falls to pieces like ashes. Is the. promise of Hancock worth more than the promise of James K. Polk or the promise of James Buchanan J They were men of character. Is Hancock's character higher than was their'a 1 The very best that can be said of them is that they fell away from their state-craft promises, under tbe influence of tbe now Southern briga diers. They were not, it is true, surround ed by brigadiers, but by men who believe the same doctrines, ideas, or principles, as to government. Men with the same ideas of government will surround Hancock if ho be elected Preaidont, and they will influ ence bim just as tbeir predecessors influ enced Polk and Buchanan. In lt-44 the mining interests and the man ufacturing interests of tbe North became alarmed under the free trade teachings of the Democratic party, just as many people now are alarmed under the teachings of the Democracy that the southern claims will have to be paid if a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President be elected. To quiet tbe alarm of the mining and manufac turing interests of the country, Mr. Polk and bis friends inscribed upon tbeir banners that Polk is at good a tariff mas as Clay, and that the protective tariff laws of 1642 shall not be repealed if Polk be elected President. Under that promise of Polk the alarm of the mining and manufacturing interests of the country was quieted, and the State of Pennsylvania wheeled into line for Polk at the Not ember election. Polk was scarcely seated as President and a Dem ocratic Congress was scarcely at. work till they repealed tbe tariff laws that they bad promised to respect. Sir, in tbe light of the promise of James K. Polk, how much is tbe promise of General Hancock worth t But Polk was not the only Democratic President who did not fill til! his promises. The last President that tbe Do rime racy had was guilty of promulgating a state-craft promise to satisfy the people of the North on a question of greater importance than tbe tariff question. It was the question Of freedom and slavery. The great North was uneasy lest Buchanan, nnder the Influ ence of the Southern leaders who believed ia slavers-, and Who to-day believe ia the in stitution and long for its restoration, would be so governed and controlcd at to use the power of h administration to make Kansas a slave State. Tbe North believed that Buchanan would be so influenced. To break that belief and to hold the naaa of the Dem ocracy and tbe people of tbe North to vote for tbe Democratic candidate for the Presi dency, Mr. Buchanan and bia friends prom ised that his administration, in case of his election, should exert its influence to have Kansas admitted as free State. Tbe promise waa everywhere proclaimed in the North. They said, Vote for Buchanan, Breckinridge, and free Kansas." Tbe prom ise of Buchanan and his friends influenced a sufficient number of voters to cast their ballots for Buchanan, and he became Presi dent in 1866. The promise of a free Kansas, how was that kept f Mr. Buchanan appointed John W. Geary, of Pennsylvania, Governor of Kansas. Geary went there, believing that Buchanan would keep his promise, but soon he felt that the influence of the administra tion was in favor of the men who wanted Kanraa to be admitted as a slave State. Qeary had been on ot the strictest North ern Democrats, but he could not stand the deception ; be cou'd not endure to be used as a tool to further the interests of slavery , when he, too, bad promised to all to whom he spoke in the campaign that Buchanan was pledged to free Kansas. He addressed Mr. Buchanan and reminded tbe adminis tration ot the promises that bad been made, but tb answer that he received was iastruc t ion that urged him to a closer attention to the interests of the men who were striving to make Kansas a slave State. He informed tbo administration that if its pledges and promises could not be carried out, he would be compelled to resign. Mr. Buchanan said. Well, Mr. Geary, yon may resign. The next Governor was Robert J. Walker, a veteran Democrat, a man of great ability. His fam ily protested against Lis acceptance of the appointment. His sister, Mrs. Cook, plead with bim not to go to Kansas aa its Gover nor. He disregarded all protests, and the result was tbe same as with SI.-. Geary. Be desired to bold tbe administration to its promises, but be, tor his honest efforts, was told that his resignation would be accept ed, and he resigned. James Buchanan went out of office without Kansas having been made a free Stats. In the light of the historic past; in tbe light of the promises of Polk and Buchan an, how should the promise of General Han- Cock be accepted ? Men of the same faith that surrounded Polk and Buchanan will surround Hancock if be be elected, and they will shape his every policy. Tbe men who lead the Democratic party seem to be gifted with a craft, or way of deception that manifests itself painfully often. The brigadiers employed it often. In tbe heat of battle a brigadier or regi mental commander would pnt on a uniform of the Union soldier, put the Union d ig at the head of his column, and thus disguised march np to tbe Union line and deliver a fire before bis true character could be re vealed. More than one disaster to tbe Union arms was brought about by that man ner of deception. Having a knowledge of the broken prom ises and methods of deception of Hancock's leading friends, we may know that it is not to the interests of the free North to elect bim President. If we help to elect him, and disaster comes to the free cause, or can re of free men, there will be no strong Republican loyal party entrenched in tbe government, with all tbe machinery and power that such a position gives, to resist tbe encroachments of the men of the Lost Cause. They will keep themselves within the forms of law, and we will be compelled to accept what tbey give us, or rebel, and that will be to put us in the place of tbe men of tbe South as rebels in 1461. There is no double meaning in their plat form ; it is bold. Mr. Lyons has spoken as to how plain it is in tbe third resolution on tbe question of tariff. That resolution is for free trade, or a revenue tariff only, which amounts to tbe same thing. On the ques tion of tariff they are so strong as to feel themselves able to declare for free trade openly. On the questions that overshadow even the great question of the tariff, tbey are as pronounced in tbe Cincinnati platform as they can be. In the platform they declare themselves as pledged anew to "the Consti tutional doctrines and traditions of the Dem txratic party." Sir, what are tbe "Constitutional doc trines and traditions of tbe Democratic party V They comprehend everything that was lost by tbe Lost Cause in Rebellion. Hancock says, yes, I accept the Cincin nati platform in its full meaning, and sin gularly enongb, bow all his pnbiic utter ances and acts coincide with the platform and tbe faitb that it expresses allegiance to. In his letter to General Sherman during the Hayes snd Tilden excitement, be says: Thomas Jefferson is my beau ideal of a statesman. He inaugurated himself. Was that a hint t Gentlemen, you can interpret that language perhaps aa well as any one. Sir, iiC resurrects JcJ-raon, and when he does so be resurrects the first historic'! or traditional character of the Democracy. Jefferson was the father of the doctrine of State Rights ; tbe same doctrine that Cal houn made bis reputation on, and the same doctrine under which South Carolina at tempted nullification in 1832. The same doctrine of secession that took the South cm States out of the Union in 1861, and Order No. 40, that Hancock issued while in command at New Orleans, was the same doctrine as applied by Andy Johnson in bis efforts to nullify the reconstruction mea sures or laws as passed by Congress. Han cock, by his avowal of doctrine, has proven how near he stands to the Democracy and bow fit he will be as President for tbe brig adiers. He can well say, Yes, I accept the Cincinnati platform, and pledge myself to tbe Constitutional doctrines and tradi tions of tho Democratic party." But let us not mistake ; tbe Constitution al doctrines and traditiona ot tbe Demo cratic party cover all that was lost by rebel lion. It covers or includes Slavery, S fate Rights, Wild Cat Banks, and a Reorganized Supreme Court. Are we ready for all that f There ia a bill now on the Congressional calendar that provides for tbe reorganiza tion of the Supreme Court ; for tbe appoint ment of 12 additional judges, who shall be appointed by the President. If Hancock be elected be will appoint tbe judges, and it requires no prophet to tell what kind of judges tbey ill be. They will frame cases, and pronounce aO of the Constitutional amendments as unconstitutional. It will not be as difficult for Hancock and a Demo cratic Congress and Democratic Supreme Court to do that as it was for Andy John son to get his Attorney General to pio uounce tbe reconstruction laws of Congress unconstitutional, null and void. It will not to bard with the power of the sdminis- -fan- .rij ! r'-Tf"M iTi nt - "lrit.Viai (ration as they used it in Ksnsas to re cover the three-fourths of the Legislatures of the States and repeal tbe amendments to tbo Constitution. Bnch, Sir, are tbe dangers that beset (be country. The arguments that are nsed to influence people to vote for them and to secure tbem in their purposes are that Gar field is not tbe right kind of a man, and why I Well, Mr. McAliater, who sits bere, tells ns that a few nights ago in a meeting at McAliaterville Democratic speakers aaid that he is not the right kind of a man be cause of bis connection with Credit Mo. bilier, Back Pay, De-Golyer, The Cobden Club, Tbe Electoral Commission. They also asked people to vote for Hancock because of the Corruption in the Land, because of a Solid South, because of Sectionalism. I should touch all these objections, bnt the hour is late and you are wearied. Allow me to ssy, briefly, of Back Pay, that there is nothing in that. General Garfield votd on the various forms in which it came before Congress 16 times against it. He was Chairman, of the Committee on Appropria tion, and tbe men who were pushing back pay went to him and said, "Now, Sir, when tbe bill cornea before the Committee of Confer ence, if yon do not allow it to pass, we wilt set np on the appropriation bills which yon have charge of, and wo will defeat them." The defeat of the appropriation bills would have brought the machinery of government to a stand-still, and Garfield said, "Well, if I must, I most ;" and that is the way he was butl-doxed into voting for back pay. It Is as clear a case of bull-dozing without the use of the bludgeon as can be fonnd in tbe history of legislation. In the cry of De-Golyer there is as little as in Back Pay, leaving out the bull dozing process. De-Golyer is the name of a kind of pavement, just as Nicholson is the dame of a kind of pavement. The city authority was asking for bids from the va rious pavement companies. Among the several companies that put in bids was a company that waa paving with Dc-Golycrin many of tbe cities of tbe country. Tbey looked around for a man w ho might go be fore the city authority and present the merits of their pavement. Garfield was chosen, and he was offered a fee of $ i'OO to present the merits of their proposals. There is not a lawyer in the Commonwealth that would not have taken that fee, and done it honestly, for there was nothing dis honest in advocating their proposal. Tbe point that the Democrats endeavor to make before the people is that because Garfield was a member of tbe Congressional Appro priation Committee he should not advocate a measure before the city authority. Tbey would bavH ground for tbeir objection if any of the money that Garfield helped to appropriate was used for tbe payment of tbe pavement, but tbe money raised forthe pay ment of the pavement cams out of a tax on (he real estate of the city of Washington and not ont of tbe United Slates fand. Tbe pavement was paid for by tax on property in the city, just as the money for road tax is raised in Delaware township, by taxation. Tbe road tax in Delaware township ia not paid out of tho Legislative appropriations for'this State, and tbe De-Golyer pavement was not paid out of tbo Congressional ap propriations for the United States, but out of tbe tax fund of real estate ot Washing ton city. As to the Solid South, tbe illiberally of that section has made it so. They bull-doze all earnest opposition in the South, and then here in the North are allowed to advocate whatsoever they please and divide the peo ple. If they were aa liberal as tbe people of tbe North, and wonld allow a free dis cussion of questions at issue, tbe South would not be solid ; the people would be divided into two parties as bere. Previous to 186ft tbere were 16 States into which a Northern man did not dare go and advocate freedom before the law, and it is not much better now in a on tuber of tbe Southern States, and yet they dare to talk te ns about Sectionalism. They hare been the sectional men, and tbey have bad the impudence to turn tbe case around and to charge section alism on the people of the North, when tbe truth is that they have been ever free to come among ns and discuss whasoever they pleased. Tbe charge of sectionalism on the people of the North is one of tbe most au dacious charges ever made against any one, and for downright impudence hardly ever eqnaled. Satan once equaled it. Milton, in bis Paradise Lost, tells bow Satan was winging his way through space searching for the earth, the place that Deity had put Adam and Eve. Satan desired to find them and corrupt tbem, but he had so far failed to reach them. By and by be espied one of God's great angels, and he conceived tbe audacious plan of going to the angel avud finding ont all about the place or locality in space of tbe Earth. But it would not do tor him to appear in his true character, so he instantly transformed himself into an angel of light, and winged his way to the mighty one, and, conversing with bim, learned the way to the earth, and found Adaul and Eve in the garden, and hence tbe fall. Tbe audacity of Satan is equaled by the charge of Sectionalism. But, Sir, let ns be careful that we are not led to turn and send the Government on a backward course. History repeats itself, and we may become the victim of its iinre .'mting repetition. There is a cb.p(r of English history that applies to our on count.')'- In war Oroke oM "elt Britain, Ireland and Scotland, with tbe Fresh) teriana, Parens and other people on one side, and the Throne on the other side. It was but a side-wave of the miT that had been surging for 26 years in Con tinental Europe- In England the popular party, the party of the people, prevailed. They dethroned tbe King, and set up a Re public. The Republic was successfully con ducted for a number of years, but by and by tbe old Royal party secured the services of one of the ablest generals of the people, a man who bad fought valiantly for tbe peo ple. His name was General George Monk. He led tbe Royal party, and In two years after be had espoused the cause a King was again enthroned, and the Royal power was more rigidly enforced than ever. He did not even neglect the woods of America, for be sent over to the colonies and compelled tbem to accept men for officers that he ap pointed instead of electing officers as they had been used to doing, and the colonies did not get rid of the King's appointing power nntil in 1776, wben America was wrested from Kingly rule, and Great Brit ain has never bad a Republican form of gov ernment since. General Monk helped the Royalists into power. Shall history repeat itself bere, and begin its work in this cam paign by the election of Hancock, to bring tbe rebels into power to restore the old order of affairs ? Asa S. Farnum, a farmer at Tolland, Mass., eame hcsa unexpectedly on Wednesday evening last and quarreled with hia wife because his sapper was Dot ready, after which be went into bis orchard and hanged himself to an ap ple tie. General Grant's Speech. On the 28th day of September Gen eral Grant attended a Republican meet ing at Warren, Ohioi He was elected president of the meeting, and, mi the presiding officer, delivered speech. He said : " In view of the known character and ability of tbe speaker who is to ad dress you to-day and bis long public career and association with the leading etatetueo of this country for ibe past tweuty years, it wonld not be becoming in me to delay you with many remarks of my own. Bui it may be proper for me to recount to you on the first occa aion of my presiding at a political meet ing for tbe party faith that is in me 1 aw a Republican, as ibe two great par ties are bow divided, because tbe Re publican party is a national party seek ing the greatest good lor the greatest number of oi'ixens. Tbere is not a precinct in this vast nation where Democrat cannot east bis ballot acd have it counted as cast, no matter what tbe prominence of the opposition party. He can proclaim bis political opinions even if be is only one among s thou sand, without fear and without proscrip tion on account of his opinions. Tbere are fourteen Slates and localities in some other Slates where the Republi cans have not this privilege. This is tbe reason why I am a Republican ; but I am a Republican for many other rea sons. Tbe Republican party assures protection to lile and property, the pub lic credit and tbe payment o! debts of government, State, county and munici pality, so far as it can oootrol. Tbe Democratic party does not promise this. If it does it has broken its promise to the extent of hundreds of millions, as as many Northern Democrats can testify to their sorrow. I am a Republican as between existing parties because it fos ters tbe protection of the field aod farm and manufactories, and it encourages the gi-peral education of tbe poor as well as the rich. The Democratic party discourage all these when in absolute power. The Republican party is a par- j ty of pr. jcrtss and of liberality towards trs opponents. It encourage the poor to strive to better tbeir condition, the ignorant to educate their children to enable them to compete successfully with tbeir more fortunate associates, and in flue it secures an entire equality before the law of every citizen no mat ter what bin race, nationality or pre vious condition. It tolerates no privi leged class. Every one has the oppor tunity to make himself all be is capa ble of. Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe that this can be tmtbfully said in the greater pert of tbe fourteen States of this Union to-day wbich tbe Democratic party controls absolutely. Tbe Republican party is a parry cf prin ciples tbe same principles prevailing wherever it has gnined a foothold. Tbe Democratic party is united on but one thing, and that is getting control of the government in all its branches." Voting in Indiana. A correspondent of a city paper writes from Iiulinna ns to the ca:u-jiai-rii in tl:Rt Slate: In ev-ry Indiana fsuiipi.iTi osie hfars a gveai. ileal of talk itoui the politicians of both pur ties alxjut the t-oloDi&ili.in of voters. Each ide accuse the .th-r of bring ing in men from other States and dis tributing them around at point where they will be protected by their party friends and allowed to vote by the connivaci-e of ela tion offiVtrs, The Democrats are ulway indignant about aa assumed hciieme if the Re puhiienn manager.- to brin in large uumU rs of DeToes, aud the Repub lk-ansi always apprehensive of a raid from Kentucky Dviuoi-rata into the river counties. I never bvlievud there wan any truth in the charge of negro importation, becanse no rsnch plan would have clutnee of sncce if there were politicians dishom-st enough to embark in it. A negro is a marked man ty the color of his skin, and cannot appear in a country where he is a btrauger without at tracting attention. Every Democrat ic committeeman knows how many colored voters live in his township or precinct, and would le sure to detect a strange negro who came there to cast a liaudulent Tote. The case is different with the white Democrats from Kentucky. They will go among their friends in the strong Demo cratic border counties, claim to have just moved there from another part of the State, swear in their votes if challenge 1, end disappear before any proof can bo got on which to arrest them. The Indiana election law is pecu liarly favorable to fruud of this kind. There is no registry. No previous residence in the township or county where a man offers Ins vote is re quired, li challenged ho has only to .swe;ir thai he ha lived in the State six ii'.en'hH and is at that time a resi dent of the ionsinp or precincL It t here is no one present who can swear tbo. man has not lived in the Suite si c months, bis vote must be received. A f. llo-.v may cross the Oaio river on ejection day and Appear at a polling place, with the Kentucky mud fresh on bis Loots, but no one can swear of his own knowledge that bis state ment that he has arrived from the northern part 6f Indiana is not true, and so his vote goes in. One of the amendments to the State Constitution nJeoted by the people aud f-et aside last June by the Democratic Supreme Court provides safeguards against illegal voting which honest men of all parties know are needed. It requires a residence of sixty days in the township and of thirty iu the ward or precinct imme diately preceding an election as a qualification for voting. This amend ment, voted on in April last, was adopted hy a majority of seventeen thousand one hundred and sixteen, hjnt the Democratic judges have nul liiied it, and the election this year will be held under the old law.
