From the Louisville Democrat August 8.
No one was permitted to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket at Cloverport or Hardinsbur g.
DALLAsBURG, OWEN Co., KY, Aug. 4.
Messrs. EDITORS: The election which took
place here yesterday was a complete farce,
and if conducted the same way all over the
State, there can be no doubt as to the final
result.
On last Sunday evening lot of soldiers
arrived and encamped in our little town aud
on yesterday morning, when the polls were
about to be opened, the officer in command
of the troops stepped up to the Judges and
Clerk of election and told them the Demo
cratic ticket should not be voted for. If it
were he had instructionsto arrest the j Judges
of the election, and also those who voted
the ticket. Whereupon the officers of the
election refused to act. A new set of poll
books was then made out, when neither
Wickliffe nor any of the names of the Dem
ocratic candidates were put down. 1t was
then found difficult to find other officers to
conduct the election; but by untiring zeal
quorum was finally made up, and the polls
were opened at two O'Clock P. NJ. The
soldiers got ready to leave early in the even
ing, when the polls were closed. Bramlette
received fourteen votes, all that were cast,
when the usual vote of the precinct is one
hundred and fifty. A large number OF men
who had come for the express purpose of
voting for Bramlette were so disguised with
the proceeding they wouldn't go to the
polls. What is it that Wiekliffe has done
that he should be prescribed and his name
not allowed upon the poll-books?
MEADE COUNTY, Ky, Aug. 4.
Messrs. EDITORS: In the town of Coucor-
dia; on yesterday, the entire Democratic
ticket was stricken from the poll-book at
O'Clock P. NJ. There had been but SO votes
polled. There have been 210 votes polled
at this precinct, and but for this gross in
Justice there would at least have been 40
votes cast, which would have given the en-
tire Democratic ticket 100 majority.
"The grossest frauds were practiced at
precinct called Wolf Creek, the officers de-
string to swear voters who had been raised
in the vicinity, thus intimid ating many who
declined to vote. 10 one instance. young
man, after having recorded his vote for the
Democratic ticket, was made beastly drunk
and dragged.to the polls and m ade to change
his vote, one of the candidates assisting TO
drag him up to the polls.
But for this high bonded outrage, DR.. S.
II. Boone would have received from 100 TO
125 majority at Concordia. DR.. Boone WILL
contest the election.
At Wolf Creek, the home of the Admin
istration candidate, the vote for Representa-
tive stood thus at the closing of the polls:
For Owings, Administration candidate 4
For Boone, Conservative 8
Explorations for the fact of the en-
tire ticket being struck from the poll-book,
the Democratic ticket would have received
from 100 to 125 majority at Concordia.
