The vote of Clarke county at the late
election was not full by 200 votes. In
Vancouver precinct the vote was con-
siderably increased over that of two
years ago, but in the country precincts,
especially on Lewis river, the voters
failed to turn out. The highest num-
Der of votes cast WAS S35, and the
county can cast nearly l,l00 votes if
all are polled.

farmers have been having unusually
favorable weather. For nearly three
weeks there has been little rain. By
the rains which fell in the early part
of last month the ground was put in
excellent order for working. The op-

most and the acreage sown this fall
will greatly exceed, it may prove double,
that of any former year. This gives

The Usual Way in New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 9-Citizens con-
time to make atidavits against the Demo-
cratic election managers, charging fraud in
the count, ballot box stuiiing, destroying
votes polled, etc These frauds involve
titles for congress in the first and second
districts, as well as all candidates for city

Political Sensation.
New York, Nov l0.-Purcell, editor of
the Rochester Union, and chairman of the
Democratic State committee, has created Il
genuine political sensation by published
article attrbuting last Tuesdays Democratic
defeats principally to the disclosure of the
cipher correspondence, which Purcell says
complicated certain Democratic leaders in
an alleged conspiracy to bride and buy cleo
tors in the late presidential contest, and
pressed the charge of such conspiracy up to
the very threshold of the Democratic candi
date for the presidency. These lost to the
Democratic party the great advantage of the
cry of fraud accomplished in the actual
counting in of Hayes by presenting prima
facie case of fraud attempted in an unsuccess-
full effort of men i'll the closest family, per-
sonal and political relations to the Demo
cratic candidate to do the same for him.
This, he says lost New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey; three States which gave
Tilden and Hendricks fifty electoral votes.
The article concludes:
'rhe future of the Democratic party de-
mands the charge of fraud attempted to be
made by the Republican press against men
in representative position in the Demo-
cratic party, shall be promptly met by the
Democratic house of the present congress
when it reassembles, and investigate to the
end that the men implicated in it shall be
either proved guilty and condemned, or
proved innocent and acquitted In any
event, the Democratic party must be vindi-
Gated and must wash its hands of all faint
of fraud attempted, as well as put its foot
upon all frauds accomplished"
