CHALMERS FRAUDS.
Chances that His Competitor May bt
the Colored Member Of the Next
Congress.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.

Special to the Cine innati Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE
Times (Hancock) has the following
sharp words for the Shoestring dis
tricts in mississippi:
Fraud has done it's perfect work in
the leturn of Chalmers as repre-
sentative of Mississippi in the next
congress, in the face Of the fact that
one Lynch was really elected, and
by good round majority. Reference
was made in these columns several
days ago to the means by which the
popular will was reversed in the in
terest of Gen Chalmers. On the
frivolous pretext that printers
dash is ss.distinctiye design upon a
ballot that the law requires to be un-
marked, the canvassers in Jefferson
county threw out 4,642 ballots bear
ing the name of Lynch, and to give a
show Of fairness to the business, also
threw out ZIG votes for Chalmers.
AS returned the vote stands: Chal-
mers 9,172; Lynch, 5,373; but as
cast, and. as it should have been
counted, it stood: Chalmers, 9,448,
and Lynch, 10,015. Lynch was also
deprived of considerable vote by
the ravishing of a ballot box in
another coaaty.
The democrats of the sixth Miss
issippi district must be very simple.
as we'll as very tricky, if they sup
pose for q moment that republican
house of representatives, or even
| a democratic house with small
majority, would confirm in his seat &
man whose title is so saturated will
fraud. Chalmers may get on the rol
of clerk Adams, but he will not an
swer to his name very often after th'
appointment Of the committee OF
privileges and elections. When peo
pie say there will be no colored mar
iu the next congress they forge

OF NO Reputation.

Whist guarantee have you that the
substitute offered you may not at one
time contain one thing and at another
something else, for you can be blindiy
deceived by fraudulent medicine which
is only made t) get up something
cheap to take the place of the genu-
inc OF high reputation? The genuine
has been manufactured for years-a
half million of dollars expended to
secure its reputation; and too much
money Is invested in Simmons Liver
Regulator by Zeilin & Co. to risK the
loss by allowing the medicine to fall
from its high standard. The best part
of life time has been spent in secur'
ing this r lputation, which will last fol

THE THEATRES TO DAY.
South Carolina Democratic Fairness,

Judge Lee Will contest Richardson's right TO u
seat in the Forty.scventh Congress from the First
South Carolina District on the following grounds
That there were no elections held at the strong
Republican precincts, the Democratic election
managers having refused to serve, thus preventing
many Republicans from voting; that the United
States deputy marshas and supervisors were driven
from the polls, in many instances being stuck
with knives aud otherwise naltreated, so rs to
facilitate Democratic frauds that In many iu-
stances fraudulent tissue ballots were voted for
Richardson, and when the polls closed the excess
OF votes IN the boxes over the names on the poll
lists were extracted, In every case taking out the
Republican ballots, which were printed on thick
paper. easily dlstnguishable to the touch, thus
leaving the tiny tissue tickets in the boxes, all of
which were counted for Richardson.
IL should bo stated in this connection that
Judge Lee has always stood high In the estimation

slonal district In 1874, when ho was an indeprnd.
ont Republican candidate for Congress-, he received
almost tho entire vote Of the Democratic party Of
his district and therefore the recent glnring frauds
praUticed upon him could not have been prompted
BY desire to defeat him because Of his unlltness
for the position. With anything like " free bal.
lot and a fair count Judge Lee would have been
elected by the legitimate Republican majority of
his district, about 5000 votes.
