INDIANAPOLIS, October II. 1864.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1864-11-03

In this statement Marion county is not
included. for the reason that her enroll
ment is so much in excess of her assess
ment of polls as to justify doubt of its
correctness. and to excite the suspicion
that It was made with view to an excess
i've vote. and the fact that large per cent
ace of the drafted men cannot be found in
the city of indianapolis, carries the sus-
picion almost to conviction. In almost
exery township we have heard of there is
comnlaint that the enrolment is too large,
and vet we here see how much larger a
vote can be counted upon in an emergency.
In the above tables we have had time to
make calculations as to but few of the
counties in which the frauds are the most
plarinr; but they run, as before said, all
along the railroad lines, and at some 9TH
er points As to the manner in which
they were perpetrated, we have the state
ments of hundreds of as respectable men

and .S,. {, thst nincrs ard uon-residente

1t will be remembered that tie votes
cast in 1860 were as 129 to each 100 polls
assessed; and in 1862 as ll6 to each leo
polls assessed. 1t is then apparent that
in the above named counties great ex-
cess of votes were cast as compared with
the assessment. In the following table it is
shown to whose benefit that excess re-
bounded The first column shows the
excess over what ought to have been cast,
in the counties named, amounting 1l6
votes for ercA lOOpolls. The second
column shows the increase to Morton
over the vote two years ago. The third
and fourth the increase and decrease to

10000 majority. 1t is manifest that a
great part of this apportionment is fc-
tion-a fraud; for surely the waste of life
in this war, and the absence from the
state Of our citizens engaged in it, is
nearlv as great ~ the increase of voting
population. Then, what party has received
the benefit of this false and fictitious addi-
tion to our population. This is susceptible
of the clcarest proof by the tables we give
below. In the first table, the first column
of figures is the polls assessed, in the
connties named, in 1868 Except Tippe-
canos and franklin which are for the
year 1861 The second column is the
votes cast in this election the third
column is the number Yates cast for each
one hundred polls assessed in each Of .he
