the Confederate Government called upon
the churches for their bells, that they might
be made into cannon, and ours was taken
down, happened TO come upon Uncle

actually stuffed the ballotbox at Concord precinct

but Democratic tickets had been voted at that poll
The evidence shows that the Republicans all LETT

Democratic frauds were contemplated. When this
Democratic box was opened there were found an
excess oil fOriy.One tickets therein. There Is but
one conclusion to be drawn from this circumstance.
