DEMOCRATIC HOPE BLASTED.
The facts concerning the report that one
democratic Presidential elector was chosen
In Wisconsin are as follows: II was dtscov-
cred several weeks before the election that
Minor, q republican candidate for elector,
was postmaster. He was thereupon taken
from the ticket and Downs substituted. The
blanks for returns sent by the secretary OF
state 10 town officers of election contained
Minors name insteac OF Downs. Upon
learning this the chairman OF the repub lican
state central committee caused circulars to
De sent TO these officers, instructing them to
erase Minors name and insert Downs. In
few cases, so far as learned, this was not
done, and votes are returned as II they had
been cast for Minor, when In fact they were
cast for Downs; but the mum Der is not sum
Gent to raise any doubt about Downs cleo
ton.
