The Ward Five Election I'm Gardiner

The case of Mr.. +. W. Atwood, who has
this spring been three times elected Alder
man from Ward in Gardiner, by the iegai
voters of that ward, excites more than local
interest. ON the first election there was
clearly one majority for Atwood, but he was
thrown out by the board of Aldermen ON
grounds that would disgrace any deliberatiyc
assembly. On the second election Nickerson
ran ahead of Atwood two or three votes, but
frauds were so glaring that new election
was ordered. The third election was carried
by NickerSon by one majority, by the trans
p1rtation of voters from out of town and from
other wards. The case was heard, and though
the testimony was solid as granite and rs
clear as the sunlight. the board again gave the
lie to Justice and refused to do the honorable
thing. Six persons who voted for Nickerson
were all shown TO he illegal voters. one
living in Augusta, voting nj our spring cleo
ton. and never voting else Shcre or claiming
Il home elsewhere; another a pauper, two
others living out of town. and still others out
side the ward. Pretending to shade of fair
ness they threw out the name of the pauper.
who had voted for Nickerson and then turned
about and rejected the name of c-long cit
izcn of Gardiner who had voted for Atwood
and this seated NickerSon by one majority.
Atwood's case was backed up and fiankcd by
unmistakablc evidence. but il seemed to be
the prcdetcrmination of the close corporation
composed of three persons in the board Of
Aldermen, to reject him at all hazards, They
even proposed to count one for man who
did not vote. and they would have carried out
the plan had ii been necessary. This action,
be it said, is not approved by the people Of
Gardiner, who are loud and earnest in its
condemnation; and our friend Atwood viii
find that defeat under such circumstances, is
better than victory
