heying that the Democratic and Grcenback leaders

the pols. consulted together and with persons in
sympathy with them outside OF the State, before
the election took place. with view OF overthrow
ing the will of the people. Two plans seem TO have
been suggested, and preparations made TO put
both of them into execution if one alone failed
To bring about the desired result. The first Of these
plans was to have the Governor aud his Council
assume all the powers ever exercised bv Southern
Returning Board to go behind the returns OF the
election IA made up by the city and town officers
investigate all allegations of fraud. corruption and
intimidation that might be made. and on parte
testimony collected for that purpose so change the
result In enough of the close counties to give the
Legislature to the Fusionists. The other plan was
to send out defective blanks upon which the returns
of tho election were to be made out. so that the
returns themselves would be fatally de-
fectiyep when received. and TO scrutinize
carefully all the returns from close COMMITTEES In
which Republicans were elected for the purpose of
discovering technical defects which might give the
Governor and his Council an excuse for returning
Fusioniss to the Legislature in districts where Re
publcans had been elected. Ii does not seem ia
have beon fully determined in advance which OF
these tricks should be resorted to- but il is probable
that both would have been used IL one had not &C

from the Grand Central Depot to the City Hall.
This recommendation met with storm Of criticism
from the property-owners along the line Of

work of tho Commissioner action which
in the opinion of the Commissioners. had no legal
