Some States do not admit duellists. some do not admit those who gamble on the results of the election. Some refuse to admit those guilty of infamous crimes. In my Statea man can not vote if he is not a naturalized citizen. if he is an untaxed Indian. if he is idiotic or insane. if he is guilty of bribery or corruption. or of grand or petit larcenyor burglary or arson. Any of these. and many other offenses. may exclude a man there from the elective franchise. As I have said. we desire to expurgate the ballot not only of its ignorance. but of its vice.
