$500 for a Fair Election.
missouri Republican,

(Mlssoun Republican,
Election frauds at Cincinnati assume a
curious shape, sometimes. Mr.. Butter
worth, Republican member of congress
from the First district OF Ohio, testifes
before the congressional committee ap-
pointed to inquire into charges of fraud in
connection with mis- election, that the
campaign committee did not give him
nickel for the campaign; that he did not
receive cent from Washington that
he tried to get something from Eugene
Hale, but failed. So far, good; but at
this point Eph Holland, the Democr attic
hummer who was convicted OF fraud, last
year, and sent to the penitentiary, comes
in. Mr.. Butterworth acknowledges that
he had meeting with Holland and agreed
to pay him $3.50, and did actually pay him
$500 for undertaking to stop repeating
or stuffing in the Fourth ward" Mr.,
Butterworth wanted this repeating or
stufing stopped, for that occasion, in the
interest of the Republican party" The
theory of his testimony is that he could
be elected if there was fair election, and
he gave "a Democratic repeater 5000 to
guarantee fair election.
This is very drolI. We frequently hear
of bummers being bribed to commit frauds
at elections; but it seems that in Cinoir
natl they have improved on this clumsy
trick; they actually bribe bummers not to
commit frauds, When a Republican can
didate for congress wants perfectly fair
election, be hires the bummers and re-
peaters to bring it about.
