There is the independent party which would knock everything endwise- that problem is too much for me. I must leave out Illinois. You will see. therefore. to be perfectly seriousand I only refer to these things to show how it would workthat if the Senate choose to sit here in order to perform this great public duty. as you would look upon it. of securing the freedom of elections. as you call it. the Tammany. and the tissue. and the naturalization papers freedom of election. you would be derelict in your duty if you did not stick it out and say "we will not have any supervisors unless we can have those in whom we can have confidence." Why does the Senator from Ohio tell us that this bill really does not mean anything. that it is a mere little kind of variation of the universal tune of the statutory Yankeedoodle. and that there is no use of our making any fuss about it? That will not work east of the Alleghanies. Somebody may believe it elsewhere. but all men of all parties east of the Alleghanies will understand it just as it is.
