Elements of radicalism
how far had they place
in the case of Ireland?
1. Secrecy. None:
none being necessary
to secure gains
against spuriousness.
Voters, more on condition
to inspire than be
exposed to terrorism
Now then as to the several Elements or features of radicalism
how far had they place in the case of Ireland.
1. Secrecy of suffrage, none. But why none? Only Because
that was not the state of things there was no need of it.
In Elections The use of secrecy of suffrage is to secure suffrage
from being rendered spurious either by terrorism or by corruption,
or by both. together But in the case of Ireland there
was no place for terrorism: intimidation the men who voted were at the all the time
same time trained and armed: and their situation more
of a nature to inspire terror than to be subject to it.

2. Universality —
This virtual. So
universality is — not
when all do vote,
but when all may
vote, not being excluded
by regulation,
and disqualification;
particularly pecuniary.
So it will be seen
it was with the
Irish Volunteers
2. Universality of suffrage: i.e. namely virtual universality.
this we shall find having place. . The case of virtual
universality is not the case case where all who are
disposed to vote actually do vote act but where all who are
disposed to vote act may do so if they please: not being excluded
by any unsurmountable irresistible/by law, by the measure of power by by regulation nor by any special
disqualification, and in particular not by any of a pecuniary
nature. Such will be seen to be the case of those
by whom in the case in question the democratic ascendency was possessed and
exercised — the freely associated Volunteers of Ireland.
