fFRoM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
MADISON STATION, Ala. Aug 4.-Our election Is
over and nearly all the boxes il Madison County have
been heard from. There never was more outrageous
fraud. Ii is hard for any honest man, acquainted
with the facts TO speak calmly in regard to it, The
Bourbons had ali the inspectors and clerks and did
all the counting. They would not let a candidate
or friend of candidate witness the count: and such
a return as they made am thoroughly acquain ted
with this county, and know that the Independent
Greenback State ticket received votes enough have
carried this county by at least 800 majority and
the county ticket would have beon elected by at
least 600 majority had the election and tho count
been honest and fair; but the entire ticket is
counted out. The Bourbons also representing Oh
the streets and sending dispatches to the press that
the Republicans did not vote this ticket, when they
were never more solid for any ticket
If the North knew the frauds that have been per-
petrated III this election by the Bourbon Democrats
there would be no doubtful States The South Is
going to be very solid for Hancock and Democrats
Will perpetratO any kind Of fraud TO have it solid.
fear that the people at the North do not understand
and cannot be made to believe the political situa-
tion in the South. We had square count tout. not
only here but throughout the State, and nothing can
be done about it. 1t is even dangerous for "a Re

Senator Matthew II. Carpenter, Of Wisconsin. is
in the city. and was found yesterday in the Hoh-
House by reporter OF TIE tribune.
Can Wisconsin be looked on as at all a doubtful
State9' he was asked.
BY no means" was the reply. " If the Demo-
crafts make contest Wisconsin will probably give
10000 Republican majority. If they do make
contest, and awake the people they certain to
see Wisconsin give at least 20 600 Republican ma
jority. Wisconsin may be set down for good Re-
publican majority any contingency"
" How does the German element stand I"
" 1t is divided between the two parties"
" Is the Democratic vote to be found in good part
in the cities and townsW
No. Milwaukee City and County within my
recollection have given 5000 Democratic majority:
for the last two or three elections Milwaukee has
given Republican majority
" How Is the soldier vote aiTected' Will many
who have heretofore voted for the Republican
ticket be likely to vote for Hancock"
" SO far as / can hear there will be absolutely no
detection. This hear from all parts of the State.
