polls, and, when 31r. DEn1cEaoN sent for help
against the mob, one NOR policeman was
ordered to tile polls. When he found that ho
villains, and TINT Le could not stop them
from voting except Mt the risk Of his life, he
appealed to the police to he!p him. One Of
them protected him for few minutes. The
other two refused to do anything, and sidcd
with tho ronghs and reporters, md at last,
after having been several timos nssailctl and
badly injured, llo WAS Obliged to withdraw to
save his life. The paid repeators then Ind
tho polls to themselves, mil, as Mero wero no
chanengers. Of courso voted as often as they
pleased.
This caso is ono which calls for immediate
and decisive action. No vtoue should be
left unturned to discover the perpetrators Of
this Outrage. Cost wl!at it may, they should
be fcrretetl ont and punished to the extent Of
tho Inv. The leader Of tho gang is known,
nad there is no sufficient reason why ho
should not be- apprehent'ed at once. The
two policemen who refused to protect Mr..
DEn1oKsox should haye their stars taken OF
instantor. They are unsafe guardians OF the
public. In this instance they were either
towards or else they wero lcagued with the
ruttlnnly rasoa1s who invaded tho polls. In
either casc, they are unfit for their ottico, and
should be dismissed ut once. II these ruff
6anly ousrages arc to be suppressed in tho
future, 1t can only be done BY puniahing them
now, promptly and sun1narily, and If there
are policemen on the forco who are too cow
ardly to givo protection when called upon, or
too rulI1anly themselves to prevent ruflianism,
tic sooner they aro OF the force the better.
Superintendent HICKEY hns duty to per
form in the premises which hs cannot afford
to shirk. Next year the polls must be pro-
tected, md one Of tie best guarantees Of pro-
lection will DO the punishment OF this years
r1,faans. II they arc not punished, there con
be uttls hope for an hono.t election na1t
spring.
