THE NINTH WARD.
In this ward fraudulent votes we're
polled all through the afternoon. Pro
tests by Republican window men were
Of no avail, and when . decided stand
against tAs imposition was at times
taken, = policeman would step up and
remove the Republican objector until
the honest Democrat got his vote in the
box. For inltance, on one occasion Mr..
James Hawkins (Rspublican window
many objected to the vote Of q man
whom he knew did not reside in the
Ward, the Democrats insisted ON the
vote being received and in order that
the repeater might q uietly deposit his
ballot Officer Cloud stepped up and
seizing Mr.. Hawkins dragged him from
the window. As soon as the vote was
deposited the officer stepped back to
his place on the curbstone and Mr.. H.
returned to the window.
Shortly after this another man nam.
ed Dennis Gallagher at one time q
Democratic bailiff Of Council, attempted
to vote in the same manner, when ]. T.
Stroud standing by and seeing him
make the attempt said: "Don't lei
that man vote he don't reside in thit
ward" He had scarcely spoken When
he was struck heavy blow in the
face which knocked him into the gut
ter.
He was then jumped upon by
three Democratic roughs who k
him. breaking gold watch, and while
this was going on Gallagher went
the window and voted ,notwithst .
the fact that he lived at No. 4 Robinson
st. in the End ward.
sharpley Bullock, an ex. convict,
whose back yet bears the scars he re-.
ceived while tied to the whipping post
at New Castle, was also an active work
or in this ward, and rot only voted
himself, but furnished tax receipts to
all who wished them and would vote
the Democratic ticket, on one occasion
he stopped three men a short distance
from the polls, and, after learning them
the "ropes," furnished each with tax
receipt and brought them up to the
window, where in spite of protest they
were voted.
A man named Kelley, from the Tenth
Ward, also voted at this window on q
tax receipt bearing the name Of "Wm.
Ryan"
Amos Kane, also from the Tenth,
voted under the name of wv. J. MIL
ler."
Three others from the Tenth voted
under assumed names at this window
one OF them using the name OF "Mc-
Nesbie," and another "\vm. Miner. !"
About 4.30 man came up to vote,
and gave his name but had no receipt.
He was taken in charge by Bullock and
in few minutes returned with bran
new receipt, but with different name
that he had previously given. His
vote was received.
Numbers Of tax receipts were voted
upon at this poll bearing date, Septem-
Der 3, 1879, which looked as fresh and
new as when they we're first printed.
Ali were passed as genuine, and all
were in the hands of Democratic
vsters.
Over fifty fraudulent votes are known
to have been cast at this poll, and the
frauds were so patent that at the close
of the poll Mr.. Ferris, Republican
judge, refused to sign the return.
The following note was received from
the assessor of Mill Creek hundred, but
Notwithstanding the men named we're
refused vote in the Eighth ward be
cause their names were not on the as.
sessment list in this city.
