deaired In preparing the case 10 know from
the electors themselves how many Of them
had actually voted tho Republican ticket.
We sent down thcro 10 get evidence. and

votes counted and returned we proved
about $40 or $50. and i was told that they
could not get the rest, because the parties
had scattered In various directions, but we
came 90 near TO II a. tn make II thoroughly
impossible that 2l9 votes had been added.
That satisfied me and seemed 10 satisfy the
canvassing board. ] wish TO say that no
mortal man ever told me, or ,intimsted
TO me while In Florida. that there
was anything fraudulent about that no.
turn except what was sworn to before
