prepared himself for his amusement by having
several hundred regularly printed tickets upon

they are again gathered, the voter putting his
choice in the hat which is held out while the
rejected ticket goes in pocket. In every in
stance where the canvasser has taken a vote
the Hayes element has predominated. though
