DEAR SIRs The election here yesterdav was
disgrace to our civilization. Our ohallenRers
were excluded from the poll rooms, mott with
stanolnR written agreement to admit them,
and they were unable to bold their positions
under the window. Six hundred more votes
were cast than there were voters In the county
by the omcial and our party canvass, which do
not materially disagree. They overrun us with
fraudulent votes. while our challengers were
excluded. Intimidation was practlsed to such
an extent as TO deter our colored Democrats
from voting with us. The women were the
worst. VIII send you some astounding details
when have time to write.
Yours very truly, 3. PAsCo.
In this county and elsewhere the jas were
opened and the inmates brought to the polls
and voted solid Republican. Notwithstandng
these and similar acts Florida has gone Demo-
cratic on both state and national tickets. Moth
ing but gross frauds In the canvass can deprive
us OF the result. The latest returns strengthen
this conviction j. J. DANIEL,
Chairman Democratic Executive Committee,
