THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list In black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
1t was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tors:
