CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Inc Baltimore American publishes evil
dence which, IL claims, "abundantly dem
onsfrates that vast number of good citizens
were actually robbed of their votes wilfully
ara deliberately by the judges of election.
for years suddenly found that their names
had been stricken from the lists, and that
they could obtain no redress In a number
ID
tlces were served upon reform Judges and
CLERKS that their appointments had bcen re-
Xoked The orders were signed by Marriott
Boswell, clerk, and by subsequent INQUIRY in
some cases the order was found to have been
issued without the authority of the commits
sloners. BY these and other means the polls
were IN many of the wards almost entirely
under the control of the dominant party and
IN some cases the ballot box was kept out of
the view OF the voter The proof OF fraud is
cumulative and perfect. The election was
farce"
