Lee had no more rights than any 9th

cute offenders, and yet, for aught
know, he may now be surrounded by

The disheartening feature Of these
huge frauds is the evidence it shows
of the decentralization Of its best citi-
zens when their interests come in con-

is patent that not only old citizens

than one ticket, but sworn managers
counted them. All the democrats
laugh over it, justify it, and state that
the Executive Committee were its au-
thors. I have seen the tissue tickets
Of several counties, and they all show
that they are printed upon one press,
supposed to be located here, the head
quarters of the party. Everybody
seemed 80 eager to have q hand in
this pastime that In most Of the coun-
Ties the majority is ludicrously large,
exceeding the entire vote
of the county. The managers were
observed during the voting often STIR
ring up the votes. It was q device to
scatter the tissue votes that were put
!n BY the quantity. Surely it would
be better to have the votes weighed
instead Of counted. Yours truly,
E. L. BRAYToN.
