the henr6t OF any particular organic alton
or favored persons, but for interest OF the
whole people This is Just the result

HOW THEY PROPOSE TO DOT.
Albany, Nov. S.-The Evening Journal
claims 10 have discovered election frauds
10 the Twelfth ward of that city. II
ch arg es the figures are so altered as to elect
a dem ocratic county treasurer, when all
the figures on the election night elected a
repu lican treasurer. Should the county
be thrown out Cleveland would lose 1888
votes, although it is no, charged there wire
any frauds in regard to the electors.
