SAN FRANCISCO, March IL.
August Drucker, third member of
the Finance Committee Of the Board
of Supervisors, submitted to the board
at it's regular meeting to-day, a minor
ity report on the investigations of the
election frauds. He indorses the mo-
tives and acts of the majority, but
claims that the majority report itself,
with its accompanying exhibits, shows
the defeated party responsible for q
greater portion OF the frauds; that so
far as the County Clerk and Assessor
were concerned, they were fully ex-
onerated OF any completely, and de-
served credit for unusual vigilance in
their efforts to preserve the purity Of
the election. Errors already shown to
exist in the published list of illegal
voters, he claims due to the careless
ness and inc,nnpetency of parties en-.
ployed to IVA the city with a view
of determining the actual status of the
persons who were not apparently en-.
Titled to vote, and exonerates a major
lily of the committee from any desire
or intent to mlsrepresent the case.
Wise, chairman of the committee,
complains that he had no opportunity
to revise the list before its publication,
as he had intended, otherwise the
many errors would have been at once
detected.
Statements made by other members
of The party recently engaged in ex-
ploring the Con. Virginia and Cali
fornla mines, fully bear out the favor
able verdict of q. ID. Roberts, recently
~telegraphed. The break in the market
following these favorable reports, Gre
ates II great deal of comment and spec
ulation, the general theory seeming to
be that the decline is mainly owing to
the manipulation of heavy operators,
with a view OF putting up asubsequent
advance in prices.
