      THE

      HONEST AMERICAN VOTER'S

      LITTLE CATECHISM

      FOR

      1880.

      BY

      BLYTHE HARDING.

      Copyrighted, 1880.

      NEW YORK:

      John Polhemus, Publisher, 102 Nassau Street.

      PREFACE.

      I was invited the other day to take down, as Stenographer, what purported to be a discussion upon some general political topics, and more especially on the forthcoming presidential election. One of the disputants entrenched himself in what, I believe, scholars call the Socratic method, that is, he pumped his supposed antagonist dry. Whether the world at large may think the dialogue as funny as I did myself, I can form no opinion. It is to solve this question that I give it to the public.

      BLYTHE HARDING.

      New York, August 31st, 1880.

      THE DIALOGUE.

      What is a republic?

      —A state, or Union of states, in which the people holds supreme power.

      How does the people exercise this power?

      —Through men elected for this purpose.

      What are these men called?

      —Senators and members of Congress or Congressmen.

      Is there a head or chief in a republic?

      —Certainly.

      What is he called?

      —The President.

      Must the President be elected?

      —Yes, by the people.

      Who declares the voice of the people in this matter?

      —The electors of the different states, appointed to do it by the people.

      Is it necessary that the whole people should agree on one man in order to elect him?

      —No; it only needs a majority of the nation, voting through the electors.

      Do the votes of the electors generally follow the voice of the people in the different states?

      —They ought to follow it.
