REPORTED ELECTION FRAUDS IN n
In 1893

IN 1855.
The New York papers are nearly filled vi
affdavits and counter wits, relating 10 allied
ed frauds Of certain leaders Of The Wing party
attempting to procure illegal voters for the
election Of 1888. There cannot b much do
that gull, is chargcable somewhere, in rela,ios
fraudulent voting in the city Of New Yohs
