THE ELrcrIoys-The contest on Monday, was very
animating. Both parties appeared 10 exert themselves
10 the utmost Those who we're able rushed TO the
polls; and the intrm were assisted SO mat very ie"
votes are left untold. The result is contrary 10 ou
expectations: ana contrary ~ Will ~ "ouiu nav ~ "
but for the admission Of fictitious, or, as they are com
monty called "new made votes" Some OF the ne"
votes were good-thc deeds being made in good faith
and the property passing for valuable consideration
| Both parties made of this kind, they had
rrht 10 do Blu; there class Of votes offered by
The Wing party, and received BY the Commisso ners
against which We protest, they are evidently hcii
ous, and designed merely for the occasion They were
ofhs character. y man owning house and lot IN tht
town of Winchester and occupying It himself, with h
family, makes deed for it 10 % or 80 persons-wiih
out any idea Of giving them possession or Of quitting
it himself, thus constituting them votes under the law:
and Constitution Of Virginia. We are told there were
from 90 to leo votes Of this character received III Win
chester on Monday And but for them, We believe The
Democratic party would have had their usual majority II
Frederick county. We believe it was wrong 10 Offer
or receive such votes being nearly fraud upon the
elective franchise, and tending directly 10 destroy the
purity Of our Republican government We DO not be
evc that Of this character were made by the
Democratic party because the opinion prevailed among
them that they unlawful, and should not he re
ceived. We understand that the commissioners de-
c,ed that the deeds evidence Of the right 10 vote
and that they had no right 10 look behind the deed 10
see whether it fraudulent not. II their decision
