That is cheated, de frauded, plundered iwlitically with-r with-r oatopportunity of redre. The evidence is lieyoud doubt that fraud c! llieuio-t thainekf character were crietrated at the February election and that through I Uieet the "tiiliera!" majority was Mscured. Gentlemen who were ; without douM elected to city offices an now kept out of their places by Utieral" Usurpers who, with all the frauds committed in their iuter-juat, iuter-juat, did list obtain enough votes to elect them in their own muuiclial 'wards. The same tort of fraud, inteveral rcajHXts, lias carried the city for a majority of ''Liberal" nominees on the school lioard. In the Third Municipal Ward it did not prevail. (In the Fourth it apparently gives one "Liberal" candidate a majority of two. The frauds resorted to, if i cspoteu as they f-hould be, Mould ' turn tlie Males largely the other way. There is not the tliadow of a i aJmilt in the minds of people in the ""Fourth Precinct that the I'eopleV candidates were both elected by the legal votes cast at the jwlls. We hope that the apathy which followed the fraudulent election in February will nut overtake the Teople after the school election. Prosecutions of officers wlio nll-v." nll-v." fully failed or refused to perform their duty, and who knowingly prevented pre-vented legal voter from cast! up ,. their IsIIots, ought to have followed the cBen&es thus cummitted. In this election scores of leal ' - voters have again lieeH swindled j ' not of their political rights. They tboulil stand up for them and vinji- ' cte Uieir cause, and brin to jmn- 1 wbjneni those wlio have defrauded 3ft them, or demonstrctc Uiefact that Ml courts and juries will not erfurm JjS their duty when "Liberals" are ifV pIcod in legal jeopardy. . JjB This election has demonstrated 3 the fact that miny People-.-, jcrty i am voters stayed away from the ills MSb because they were sure of lielng de- ?S frauded. Tliey say "We knew the 1 jH 'lilberals' would strike off the 1UU 1 amany aa they wanted U, and jffm put on as many as they needed, I ijf and we kn-?w thai it was of no use, Jtfj so wd let them have it all their own '-A way-" . We want all such Peopled Paity Jf men to understand we think such n tmW course wrong and unnnuly. We t should struggle for the right to the I last ditch. If we were sure of de- I i feat, our duty sltouldurgc lis on, no L I maUer what might be in the way. But in this ea?e It is evident that Wj rome of the other rty did not B come to the front, and every vote M lost to the People was hi ef- I fort a help ti the enemy. 1 . Tlie polity is wion. Itefrnluiug I from the eiercis; of xwerweiiulJ ' 1 So hehalf of our friends, is virtually 1 Elvin? aid and comfort to our foe. j Wccall upon every voter of the j PoojJe's Party to awake and be ! alive and ready for the August campaign. Never lie disheartened ; at the temporary successes of fraud. They cannot remain ermancut. j Tliey should be thoroughly esjio-ed. i The law breakers should be pn?e- cntel. The People tiiould not Mt ' down in silent submission. And every man who ha? the billot should 1 prepared to ca-t it in Au- Sp mut, .for the party of principle and fig the. men who will sustain houest .! and' free government, aud against 1 the lrty of chicanery, dishonesty ' I" and fraud,which seeks to rob' e very- I fitly of the franchise who will j not support its infamous course and jjji ;. 1 1 conspiracies. |
