We never said there we're six or seven
hundred Democrats who voted illsgaiiy
., the recent city election, but w OLD
s.v there we're from six to seven hun
6rsd illegal Democratic votes cast Al
s.r "A can bs sscertainsd there we're
about fifty repsaters Who voted from two
TO fifteen times apiece, so 1t VIII o' seen
shst At that rate OF voting It, would not
take long to roll up seven hundred
votes. We also said that there we'e .
great many votes cast by Democrats
Who could not be called rspeaters, but
Who had not paid any county tax with
in two years and whose names hal oe-n
returned as errors. These persons w
said we're furnished with tax receipts
aud they voted. OF coarse We meant
that the receipts furnished them were
fraudulent, a. no person whose name
had been left off the assessment for two
years and over could possibly have q
legal receipt. We charged that these
fraudulent tax receipts we're used in
large numbers at the polls, not only p"-
iioemsn, but boys and drunasn men
having plenty Of them to dispense to
the voting crowd Of Damocrsts. 1t is
useless for u to reitersts our charges
simply to crafty the Gazette We
have made them over and over, and the
"Gszstte" has told it over and over %
often TO it's handful Of readers. that there
certainly should bs no mistake by this
tius. OF the tr 18th Of what We say there
10 no dissent on the part Of intelligent
men who are we'll posted in regard ia
the events of that election day. The
"Gazstts" in justification Of itself,
points to the fact that it Was in favor oI
Furnishing all illegal voters whether
Demo rats or Republicans.
W. believe there was . faint little
squeak from ,its bucolic editorial
columns to that effect whom the mon
strous frauds by which the Democrats
carried the elections we're brought Il
the light, but it was all Offset by its
anxiety To cover up those fisuds, II
shield the Democratic rep. aters and Il
punish Republicans. Every effort t.

the Fifth Ward has found in the ga
s.tts'' a trucking and willing advo
cate, and in its desire to profit by tn
sham.less frauds by which the Demo
Gratis from that Ward hold their seat
illegally, it shut down the lights upo
the investigation just at momen
when the frauds were about TO b
proven, If the Gazette" is honest
why does it not request Messrs. Car
michael aud Allen to step down aud ou
of seats in Council which they hold b.

rspaatsrs whom We havu named owe
