Mr.. Roney thanked the gentleman for the
admission that the Sherif's deputies we're the
paid tools of the Democratic party. He stated
that in one precinct Of his ward, to his own
knowledge, two or three deputies made an
assault upon the polls, with the cry, "Out
with the ballot. box" aud that the presence
there OF one resolute special policeman, sup-
ported oy ieT kepu6licans, prevented such
an outrage. If the Sheriff's deputies were
legally appointed, the county should pay
them. The policemen stood up in defense of
order and peace, and therefore are rightiully
paid by the city.

outrages by Sherif's deputies, and OF wholesale
frauds by Democratic roughs from Baltimore aud
