There is no intimation Of fraud in his

returned, but where votes were object

Two or three Of the members Of these
boards declared at the time that they
had been offered large brides to cast
their vote for the Democratic candidate
but their assertions were generally dis
credited In the light Of the cipher
kilograms there is now no doubt but
that they told the truth, and this is
about all the Potter committe has sue

This State lies between the 3Tth and

the thirty seven counties in which the
Kansas Pacific Railway Company own
land lie principally between the Ssth

to the company this body Of land to
aid in building this road. This grant
comprises over FIVE million acres Of
land consisting Of every odd section
in each township for a distance Of
twenty miles on both sides Of the road
extending to Denver City in Colorado
This was the first railway built through
