AFTER THE ELECTION.
P;Oneer

Deadwood Pioneer.
The election Is over and the froth and eff
iervescence Of aroused passions has begun
to subside. People can look back at The
campaign with calmer feelings and cooler
Judgment than they looked at it twenty-four
hours ago.
The result is Of course entirely unknown
at this hour, but the returns will soon be in
from the outside camps. The acrimony
that is 10 often engendered in a political
campaign has not been 70 bitter a. il ant To
De the case in a western community. The
friends of neither side can blame themselves
for having let the victory slip from their
grasp through inactivity, for the vigorous
work and persistent effort that has been the
universal rule was worthy of success.

~, sx.speaker Of the South Carolina legis
lsture and late candidate for congress in III,

giving some Of the facts regarding the
frauds practiced BY the democrats. He
says: ". 7. Dogget, the foreman Of the
News and Courier job printing office, stuffed
2,400 of those little tickets in the box after
the poll was closed. The managers, finding
that there were 1860 ballots in the box, de-
clined to throw out any, but counted them
al, and returned the vote of that poll 1t
46l for Mackey and 3,lOS for OConnor, so
that one ward out Of the eight IN the city
was made to give a majority of 1892 votes
for OConpor. The utter impossibility Of
returning 1860 persons at one poll in the
space of twelve hours need hardly he II.
gued, as the managers swore each voter sep
arately, and in many cases consumed three
or four minutes questioning some voters. It
is safe to say that the average time con-
sumed in voting each man was one min
ute, which would allow 72O votes to
be polled, provided there was a
stream Of voters during
the twelve hours the polls we're open. Yet
at this poll the managers make 4 return,
under oath, that 1860 per.ons voted in the
space Of twelve hours. By this method
Charleston City is made to give OConner =
majority Of 6,527, or q majority larger than

ANO4dGh
Washington, Nov. 10.-Details of the out.
RACES on republican voters and the ballot
boxes in South Carolina continue to come in.
The more definite the information becomes
more terrible it shows the state of affairs to
be. In Beaufort, where the republicans are
in large majority, election day was inaugu-
rated by the red-shirts riding over the count

groes, and firing into the houses of republic.
ans. Ballot.box stufing was the order of
the day. In some cases the polls were
opened before the republicans could get
there and the boxes stuffed before the voting
begun.
Samuel Hanna, a federal surveyor at one
of the precincts in Rainey's district, has
written a friend here showing the way the
democrats carried the precinct he was in.
He says: "Ever, thing passed off quietly
Yesterday until $50 O'clock, when DIR. S.
D. NJ. Byrd and others came into town yell

up into the court house and knocked me
down where / was standing near the ballot.

cured by %stufing the ballot box. Last nigh,
the whole town was alarmed by the shoot.
