SIMON-PURE REPUBLICAN, Tt will be of interest to Missouriars, who have for some tiine endured a lobster organ’s palpably slanderous cries of Democratic fraud, to observe just what a chaste. Republican ad- ministration will do when it has free and uninterrupted sway—which it has in Philadelphia. The outside world has long been convinced that Philadelphia present- ed a specimen of ring rule scarcely rivaled in the annals of corruption. Commenting upon the frauds in last week’s election the New York Evening Post says: In 1900 McKinly received 1,738 votes in the Third Ward. This isa quarter of the city where the popula tion dimiuishes year by year, rather than increases, yet the returns gave double the number received by Me- Kinley two years before. In the Fifth Ward, which is also one of sta- tionary population, McKinley receiv ed 1,967 votes in 1900, while Penny CELINA LIIOOIOS OOSOOOOSOGOOIOOOOONS> ,;Ward proposal and subsequently granted the identical franchise to parties, free of any charge whatever or auy benefit to the city.

Thetotal vote as given this year is 9,500, an increase of more than 4,000 Such unblushing frauds speak for them- selves, . These Republican “gains” were made without any Demoeratic losses; in fact the Democratic vote was stronger than at the last Presidential election. Philadelphia papers say that no effort is made at conceal- ment, but that fraud is the open boast of Republicans, The total of fraudulent votes is placed at eighty thousand by a Pennsylvania Repup- lican paper. To enrich the gang at the expense of government is the leading prinei- ple of the Philadelphia ring.’ Lawe are perverted, everything available is subsidized, franchisés and favo: are sold at fixed rates. : One or two characteristic instances, more particularly resembling the deeds of the recent St. Louis boodle gangs, serve to illustrate the ring’s cha aster.
