ate, and challenge denial from any quarter,
that on last Presidential election day, in the
city OF Richmond aud county Of Wayne, the
! office Of the .JeggsOnida was entered the

there bearing the name of General George X.

At the polls those who voted the Democratic
! ticket had To- run gauntlet Of jccr>,
curses and taunts, worse than whips or scor
piens. Many We're kept away from the cleo
ton altogether; and many who went there
were beaten and bruised 10y the mob. There
was only one township in the entire county
where any Democrat was permitted 10 di on
the ee,'tion boards and there 10 would not
have been permitted il the Democrats had not
had the Trustee which enabled them to control
the matter. Who can contemplate such
state OF facts and not blush FOR the boosted
honor Of his country out, sir. upon such
people and such heathcni>in. They distribute
