THE ROCHINGHAM CONTESTED-ELECTION
CASES.
Mr.. Smith OF Fauquer got the floor to
speak in behalf OF the report OF the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. He
charged the Judges of election at Conrad's
precinct with such gross violations a.
would not he tolerated by any party. \
Judge at this precinct had refused to act
with another on account Of difference in
politics. Two Judges had been guilty Of
violation OF their judicial pOsitions-yio-
lation Of law in going out from the polls
expressing disapprOyal OF the manner in
which certain men voted, and the other
Judge had been guilty of violating
the law in receiving ballots while the
others were out. Further, the regis
tration-books had not been opened at all
for the purpose Of seeing that the party
attempting to vote was registered. In
consequence OF this omission OF the OF .
seryance OF the law fifty men voted who
were not registered. This would have
changed the result materially. At Furnace
No. precinct, and at Port Republic frau
duent votes had been east sufficient, ii
rejected, 10 elect Soule and Grattan. The
| irregularities aud the violations Of the law
should be sternly rebuked by the House.
| II made no difference for whom they were
cast, the votes should be thrown out.
IL was not necessary 10 bother about any
other precinct save Conrad's not neces-
sary 10 bother about the variety Of names
used in voting for the same candidate
all that was necessary was TO look into th,
violations OF law ut COnrad'S precinct In
order TO vote for the adoption OF the re-
port OF the committee seating SOule and
Grattan. The committee was in strong
accord in their decision on the subject.
Mr.. Banks. in reply to Mr.. Smith, and
in opposition to the report OF the commit
tee, undertook to revive the Isle-of- Wight
case. when the Speaker called him to or
der.
Mr.. Banks concluded By offering reso
luton TO pass by the report OF the com
mttee.
Being again out OF order, the resolution
was not considered.
Mr.. Evans said Mr.. Banks was not ONLY
supplementary in referring to the lslc-of
Wight case, but was also mparliamentary
In airing his own views about what th,
Senate did in the Barham ease. Mr.
Evans had asked the Public Printer wher
he could print the evidence, and his reply
was so vague that the committee had 10 g
TO the laborious task Of reading the eyi
dence. Mr.. Evans asked II there
was any necessity for printing thu
evidence. As chairman OF the com
mittee, he took occasion 10 thank th'
Speaker for having surrounded hin
with such true and honest associates, Re
adjusters and Democrats. The committed
had shown their intention Of doing justice
by seating a Readiuster from King vii
liam and not seating Democrat lie ha'
heard OF such a thing a. curses cominl
home, like chickens, TO toost. The Hon
lR. II. Farr had laid down the law that th'
polls should be opened at sunrise, &c, an(
al Conrad's the polls were not opened unit
