The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-02-07

Carroll county, two illegal votes In Can
field township, Mahoning county, two
illegal votes In Lee township, Car
roll county. This shows 20 votes which
have not been counted for Major Wallace,
OF were Illegally counted for Major Nc
Kinley. When Congress cOrrects the
great wrong done, Major Wallace will
have not less than 90 majority.
The last specification in the notice on
Mckinley was wOTded as follows:
THAT you were a member Of the 80
called 'Hubbell Committee and as such
assisted in improperly assessing for pO-
litical purposes the inferior officers and
employees of the general government,
and thereby accumulated a large sum
Of money to be used, and which was
used'in influencing the result of the late
elections held in Ohio and other States,
in the months of October and November
last, and that you, through your parti-
sans and supporters for said office, dis
tTibuted large sums OF said money and
other funds, to and among many Of the
voters in the said Eighteenth Congress-
iOnal District, in the several wards of
the city of Youngstown, in said county
of MahOning; in the several wards Of
the cities Of MassillOn and EAlliance, in
the said county OF Stark; in the town
ship of Salem, in the county OF COlum-
biana; in the township of Center, in the
county of Carroll, and in many other
wards, townships and election precincts
in the Eighteenth Congressional Dis
tTict, the number Of said voters 80 re-
ceiVing said money from your said par
tisans and supporters is now unknown
to me, but aver that there were great
number thereof, in the said wards, town
ships and precincts above specifically
named, and that there were a great
number In other wards, townships and
precincts of said district unknown to
me, all Of which said voters so receiving
the said money, thereby became and we're
disqualified from voting at said election,
for the reason that they had corruptly
received the said money and other Valu-
able things from you, yet. all the said
voters so as aforesaid cOTTuptly influ-
enced in your favor, voted for you at said
election, in said district, and their votes
were illegally counted for you
McKinley's reply to these allegations
and claims Is a strange document, and
yet it corresponds very closely to the
man who sent it out. He denies every
thing. He denies that Major Wallace
received any votes anywhere which were
not counted Cor him. He denies that
any votes were suppressed at COlumbi-
ana. He denies that he received any
money from Jay Hubbell, or that he used
any in the campaign. OF course every
body expected him to deny that part Of
the notice. He is placed in the position
of criminal, and he naturally. enough
pleads mot guilty" After ne gets
through denying seriatem every allega-
tiOn made in the notice, he tries to set
up few votes which he claims were
cast for him but not counted. He is not
sure of single vote, however, as every
one is "On information and belief" He
cannot put his finger on the votes. 1t
is all hearsay with him. Major Wallace's
case rests upon a different foundation.
He knows where his votes are. McKin-
ley's reply is much weaker than we sup
posed he would make 1t, and as matters
stand now he has no case at all. The
general belief now is that he will never
take his seat at all.--0hio Patriot.
