party particular care was taken to prevent
their using the fraudulent papers, and to
detect any attempt at 80 doing.
III. A system was established requiring
all persons who had been registered as
voters in 1870, and who had subsequently
removed, to deliver up their papers of that
year before receiving certificates of regis
tratiUn in 1872. These were sent to the
office of the State registrar of voters every
week, and were carefully sorted out by
myself and others, and all that showed no
evidence of having been examined bv the
United States supervisors of election were
set aside to be used by repeaters on election
day.
Iv. During the ten days preceding the
election list was made out by NE Of the
registry numbers and names Of the dead,
removed and fictitious persons before de-
scribed and given to each assistant super
visor of registration for the city wards.
Two or more persons in each ward, who
we're to serve as commissioners OF election,
were set to work making lists of those
names upon sheets IF paper similar to that
designed to be used on the day of election
in keeping the written list of voters re-
1uired by law at each polling place.
V. The poll lists were printed, contain
ing the entire registration of both 1870 and
1879. No erasures were made until the
Saturday and Sunday preceding the eiec-
ton, when the names that could not be
made available for the Fusion cause we're
crossed off in black pencil OF the lists for
certain polls in each ward and in number
to correspond with the written lists OF
names before alluded to.
These preliminaries having been COM
pleted, it was a mere question of manual
dexterity or the part OF the commissioners
Of election to get within the box a number
of ballots TO CORRESPOND with the names
crossed off in black from the printed lists
and written in advance upon the tally lists.
The estimate of the number of votes re-
CURED to carry the election was as follows:
For the first ward. 800: second ward. 500;
third ward, 1000.
VI. The number of fraudulent votes &C.
tualIy counted. and which can be proved
by my own testimony and tina: OF other
persons concerned, is
