The Republican denounces Democratic ballot legislation as a path to fraud and questions why only Democrats deserve credit for reform. The piece condemns southern elections and argues Republicans will not be controlled by Democrats in Pennsylvania.
The piece argues Pennsylvania will not adopt a wide-open Sunday, labeling the Berkelbach bill as dead in the legislature. It contends the public opposes Sunday openings and cites Senate stance and lack of time for action as reasons it cannot pass.
The Telegraph reports Senator Quay and Colonel Guffey’s conference shows Republican disunity over minor reform aims. The piece says neither party can agree on a fair system, urging the Legislature to craft a proper bill to improve voter access while noting Democrats push for broader disenfranchisement tactics similar to the South.
Senator Quay proposes a sealed ballot to fix reform issues. The plan would provide each party ticket and envelope, allow voters to seal their choice, and permit printing a personal ticket. He argues it offers absolute secrecy without helpers and could pass in Harrisburg with near unanimous support.

The piece frames Bryan as the one opposing Lincoln's lessons, not the Republican party.
