Frauds.
The Alabama State Republican Com,
nittee has issued an address to the
showing the frauds that were
practioed by the Democrats at the late
State election. Much of the address
relates to the outrageous frauds in
MONTGOMERY county which upon full
and fair vote would give 10. 900 majori-
ty for the Republicans was made to re.
turn nearly 5000 for the Democrats.
The features presented by the cleo
ten in other co9nties Of the State are
pretty much the same as those occur
ring in Montgomery, with here and
there some peculiarity Of fraud, which
renders IL worthy ofmention separately.
Before the election the leading Re-
pubiicans Of Wilcox County, fearing
that they could not got fair count in
the eastern end ofthe county, conclu-
ded to advise the Republicans in sever.
al precihots not to vote, and then the
Democratic steal would be made more
palpabie. Republicans posted them
selves rear the polls and took down
the name of every cofored man who
voted. At Snow Hill seven colored
men voted. The Democrats gave them.
sslves in their official return at this
precinct 500 votes. But according to
the census returns Of last June there
are only 1872 whites living in the pre-
cine. over twenty-one years OF age.
Ado to the white the seven colored votes
anc we have a total OF 139 votes polled
at this precinct, 4so less than the off,
oial return. At Attention Precinct two
cslored men voted. The Democrats
eeve themselves BAT votes. The last
census shows bat 50 whites in the pre-.
cinct over twenty-ons years OF sge.
Total GA votes, 293 less than the OFF,
cial return. 1t was the same at Pine
Apple.
In Bonham's Precinct the returns
gave the Republicans az votes and the
Democrats ats, making a total vote o.
49S, or l42 more males over twenty.one
years of age than reside in the precinct
according to the census. By such
frauds as these, this strong Republican
county, for the first time since the war,
is made to return a Democratic mIori'
ity of over 900.

mate Republican majority Of 5000, and

voters were kept by intelligent men,

ed up to vote, and an examination Of
