Enough is now known OF our election 10 see
that il was carried by the greatest frauds ever
committed on the ballot boxes. Take the town
ship Of Franklin, Johnson county, as an example.
We are told that but $50 Democratic votes were
counted out. while it is well known that there
are at leas; 400 Democratic voters in the town
ship. Such has been the case in every township
where The Republicans held the Board. No d.
vision OF the election Board is ever permitted
with Republicans. vet Democrats will divide the
Board with them At all lines. Whenever the
Republicans cannot vote illegal. they make it =
rule 20 take out the Democratic votes and put in
their place Republican votes. thereby making
every ballot taken on. count two votes. and still
leave the poll books as they we're. In this way
the Democracy of Indiana have been so grossly
swindled in the late election.

!. This statement has been coroborated
in many ways and on many occasions
by the wonderment expressed in rebel
newspapers why Mcclellan did not
push forward his army and enter
Richmond and declaring that at that
time there would have been scarcely
a shadow Of resistance to the approach
