People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 April 1895 — Votes All $1 Each. [ARTICLE]

Votes All $1 Each.

The New York Herald, March 10, prints evidence in a contest election case which shows that votes were bought for $1 each by thousands. Of course the old parties did this for the public good! They were afraid anarchist reformers might prevail. And thus the people who ought to know better support self-confessed thieves, robbers, blackmailers, and embezzlers, but refuse to listen, to a reformer’s appeal to change the social system that creates opportunities for these reprobates. They never heard of a socialist or Populist buying votes or over-riding laws. They are not even accused of being dishonest. But they are dangerous to society.' And these self-confessed bribers and thieves are not. —Coming Nation.
