Among the SO called repeaters {"
whose votes were refused by the Re.

polls, on Tuesday, were the following:
John Frye, who was shot during q
dis turbance near the polls, has lived
here for the last three years, to the
positive knowledge of many persons.
Levi Davis, who has resided here for
seven years. He. however, was per-.
sistant, and finally persuaded the In>
spector to recognize the legality of his
vote.
James Welch, who was born near
Smyrna, and served in the Union army
all through the war, receiving an hon
orable discharge. He exhibited his dis
charge at the window, but the traitor
GUS sentiments of the Inspector were
only intensified by the sight OF q
Union document, and another legal
vote was refused.
A. j. Dougherty was born in Brandy
wine Hundred, but has lived here for
several years. The above are the
"repeaters" who boarded at Eighth

And SO legal Democratic votes were
refused all afternoon, while the votes
OF negro repeaters were taken without
question. No wonder Mr.. Feaster
said his majority was 100 more than
