What proof could I supply?

Yet the ills of the body politic, the complications which surround us on every side, for these the unfailing panacea is said to lie in universal suffrage, that remedy which is immediately and of course laughed out of court if suggested in case of the simpler ills of the flesh. This, I submit, is demonstration.

Life should be made easier for the great mass from which the criminal is ever coming.
