The North Carolina Plan Of
Fraud.

The delay in announcing the returns
from North Carolina is now explained
Although three Republicans were
fairly elected 10 Congress, the chances
are they will all be counted out. Under
the law passed by the last Democratic
Legislature, both precinct and county
officers of election have opportunities
to revise and correct the returns.
These have been widely and unscrupu-
lously used by Democratic officers in
the exact way intended by the trainers
of the law. Another method of fraud
has been discovered, as one practiccd
in various portions of North Carolina.
After the registration list were brought
to the polling places, and before the
polls opened; pencil marks were drawn
through the names of a number of
cOlored Republicans, and when they
presented themselves they were told
that for some reasons which the man
ayers did not understand, their names
had been struck off, and so their votes
could not be received. This device,
together with the method of revisions,
appears to have constituted tina North
Carolina plan.-Washington Special
