cay by of the threats against oar property ana
employees made 10y the know-Nothiug rioters. These
acis of intimidation Of such nature that, know
ing the desperate character of those who composed
the wicked mob. did not feel It Just to place the
lives of our workmen in imminent jeopardy by ex-
posuro TO uuprovoked assaults. No serious demon
straiion, however, made, although at different
intervals during the night gangs OF the rowd'es passed
up ard Down ia front OF our Once ond, win guns

and conduct of the murderous riot ard we feel salts
fed that we are now enabled to state facts as they
occurred. 80
Az none of the places of voting the Sixth Ward

there was hut little opportunity for hyhting as the
polls IN every Ward had been taken possession OF by
