that followed the Charter election
Evidences were preGenled to us, that
we COalI not hesitate to believe,
that gross corruption aud fraud prevailed
on that day. But it Is so much the habit
Of the defeated party to always charge lille.

of the issue. Mems minds were stirred up
to au appreciation OF the magnitude of ;he

seeing the false position in which they had
been placed by the charter election, made
hsstC to assert not only their own but the
public loyalty of this city and county, by
raIlying promptly and enthusiastically to

So far is It from being ii fact that an
overstrAiaed majority Of 1870 was obtained
tor tho new State, that every candid man
will here acknowledge that the new State,
divesIed Of any personality in tue way of

stronger than the vote cast. This will be
