have been no Republican votes cast Reply was
made that it was based upon the fact that there
was great intimidation exercised, even with the
presence OF troops. He could not explain, how
ever how it happened that fully seven-eighths of
the negroes registered without the presence of
troops
Iroops did not appear there until the registra-

that Mcdonald was killed for political reason is
that he was very much disliked as Republic can.
