money in consideration of their votes,
and we presume there were Others
They came right from the Clerk of the
Court and owned to their good luck in
getting their papers without money and
without price.-Jackson Republic.
That's nothing. There was good,
round $1,000 spent in this county in
ways similar to the above. Wells vo-
tiers were hired at 50 a day to stay at
home on election day and do their own

men were promised pensions if they
would support Dunnell. In one case a
man was promised a post-otfice and a
petition was drawn up and signed by
his neighbors. This brought him. It
cost good thousand dollars in this
county and any amount of promises of
pensions, postotfices, and all the others
