The destiny OF the people of the entire nation

clerks of the Returning Bosrd, testified that
Gov. Wells, the president OF the tribunal. alb
solutely instructed him to take figures from
the column at Democratic votes in Vernon
parish, and add them up in the Rel nblican
column. In accordance with these instruc

members Of tho Board NIL cert fed 10 the cor

Democratic majority Of thirteen Thousand in
the State OF Louisiana was converted into
