voted for Washburn for pay. lhest
y bribelies extended through IL section
half as large as New York. In Min
neapolis one man was paid $50 TO
ms vote and influence, and othe"
from S25 to S35. Workmen were
paid by their employers $50 to worl
and vote for Washburn. Overcoats
and -four We're paid. Saloons voted
their boardeIs for pay. In many
cases money was offered and de-
clined. Employers intimidated their
workmen to vote for Washburn or
not at all, thereby causing nearly
5000 Democrat, not to vote. The
Republican majority was 1850 for
Washburn, against 355 for Hayes in
1875. The numbering Of ballots was
pursuance of plan TO lntimidate
voters and was unconstitutional.
Lawyers advised Republicans not to
do it. Out of 81 judges Donnelly
only had one, while being candi-
date of both parties he should have
had IA. They go on at great length
to multiply instances and conclude
that they reject votes and precincts
not because ballots were numbered,
but because they were numbered
with fraudulent intent. Had no un-
fair means been used, Donnelly
would have carried Minneapolis as
he carried the rest of the district.
He has a majority of $50. They de-
clare that they have rejected or
thrown out nothing on legal quib-
bles only.
Another Discovery Of Masonic Embiems
Mt Alexandria.
New YORK, March 20.-The New
York Herald's special from Paris,
March goth says: Our corrrespon-
dence communicated by telegraph
to-day facts which will revive in
still higher degree the interest ex-
cited among students of Egyptian
mysteries some two or three months
ago, by Lieutenant Gorringe's dis
cOvery of Masonic emblems under
meath the pedestal of the obelisk at
Alexandra, destined for transporta-
ton to New York. Interesting and
important as were the discoveries of
Commander Gorringe and DR.. Fen
tor, they were not exhaustive, and
the p1acticed eye of another dis
tinguished Masonic dignitary, has
just detected an additional series of
emblems Of value and significance
far greater and more unquestionable
than those previously reported. Mr..
$. A. lola, Grand Commander and
President of the Scotch Ancient and
Accepted Masonic rites for Egypt
and Egyptian ex-Grand Master of
Symbolic Missionary, has examined
the foundations of the Alexandrian
cbelisk and has discovered another
series of stones, which not only bear
all the existing Masonic emblems,
but furnishes the key which has hith-
erto been lacking to explain the en-
tire dimensions and proportions of
what proves to have been an elabo-
rate Masonic editice including the
obelisk itself, the pedestal, the stair
case and the hidden foundation.
