SummaryResumen

The *Public Ledger* reported on August 3, 1878, that proponents of the annexation of St. Domingo failed to demonstrate that Dominicans were largely in favor of the project, which hindered their case in Congress and among the U.S. public. Additionally, the newspaper stated that the separate project of annexing Canada could never be accomplished without an earnest petition from Canadians and specific governmental guarantees.

El *Public Ledger* consignó el 3 de agosto de 1878 que los partidarios de la anexión de Santo Domingo no consiguieron acreditar que los dominicanos respaldaran mayoritariamente la iniciativa, lo que entorpeció su acogida parlamentaria y el favor del público en los Estados Unidos. Declaró además la publicación que el proyecto independiente de incorporar el Canadá jamás fructificaría sin mediar una sincera petición del pueblo canadiense y expresas garantías constitucionales.

that there is no need oi trying to exhibit

the moral or political principle of the

transaction except under a microscope

The price wa had to pay for it is big

enough to see without common specta

annexing St. Domingo bsd been able to

how that the Dominicans were largely

in favor cf it, they would have been

able to make a much better show in

congress and among the people of the

United S'jtes. The other project so

the Union a most undesirable thing, aj

we havs always thought can never be

accomplished except on the earnest pe

with guarantees that the Faderal gov

Great Britain and France, which main

inside of a political authority, and loads

to the chief disordsrs that are continually

occurring in the Dominion.
