THE FUSION FRAUDS.

Il ha, been -umored abroad and cireu
lated in = pictorial and another journal tha,
a committee was sitting getting up evidence
tc refute the Blanchard disclosures. The
mountain in labo- has at last brought forth
It's mouse. and a very small mouse it is.
few days ago clumsy atfidavits were
published and signed by thirty-four com.
missioners. These men swear-and perhaps
all these Oaths may descend into rank per-
Jury-that all was fair, and that no frauds
were perpetrated. 1t is necessary to state
here that there were us polls in the city
three commissioners to each poll would
make in all 3i5 manipulators appointed BY
the Fusion committee. OF this heavy
brigade only thirty-four have testified, by
saying that all Blanchard said was false
and it was little enough to say, when they
stand accused of being willing instruments.
shall now give you few figu res, to
make Enthusiastically clear who the com mis-
sioners are who signed the denials. and PEP
haps the people may arrive at just esti-
mate of character and motive:
