Now that Ohio has gone Republi.
can, it il in order for the Democrats
to claim that the election was carried
by fraud. They have no other excuse
or explanation for their repeated de.
feats, and it matters not to them how
badly they get beaten, they are sure
to shout "fraud !" a. soon as they re.
cover from their drubbing.
| Nor is this cry of fraud confined to
national affairs. Does State, county
or precinct 60 against them, the cry is
raised. Is it a special tax that pre-
walls tn keep the public schools open,
the cry is raised a courthouse built,
the cry is raised "Frod Fr-r.o-d !!
Fr-r-r-od !! " They have no other ar
gument, no other war-ory but this.
But they always get '.left" when they
raise it.
There must be a reason for this. and
that must be because the honest voters
OF the country do not place any reli-
ance upon them. How could they ?
Unable to secure reputable persons to
testify to frauds that only existed in
the sore heads of defeated candidates,
they are always compelled to have re-
course to known perjurers, fugitives
from justice, and the SCUM of the
earth generally. This was the case
with the infamous Morey letter which
was claimed to have heen written bv
Mr.. Garfield :; it was the case with the
bogus testimony in the Investigations
into negro massacres in the South; it
is the case with the Little Rock and
Mulligan letter jobs against Mr..
Blaine; and it has always been the
case where the Democrats have been
defeated.
Even here, in Alturas county, we
are informed that some of Mr.. Hailey's
friends are claiming that Mr.. Singiser
stuffed the ballot. box at Junction pre-.
cinct, at the last election, and that was
how Mr.. Singiser came to get such 4
heavy majority in Alturas county I!
This charge is an insult to the voters
OF Alturas county who 80 strenuously
opposed Mr.. Ainslie, firstly, because
he was an abject slave to the Mormon
Church; secondly, because he was an
AFFECT slave to the Mormon Church !;
and thirdly. and indefinitely, and most
positively, because he was an abject
slave to the Mormon Church. These
voters are now opposing Mr.. HALEY
for the same reason, and he will there
fore he overwhelmingly defeated.
W. did not intend, when we began
this article. to refer to local matters at
all; but since we have, we will touch
upon one or two of the matters above
mentioned.
The vote At Shoshone Tor junction,
rs then called was remarkable be.
cause it was As about six to one in |
favor of the Republicans; but this is
easily explained. There were rhou.
sands Of railway laborsrs in that vicin.
ity-all of whom were employed by
contractors who were Republicans.
They we're legally entitled to vote, and
the "workers" of both parties laid
plans to capture Is many of these
votes as they could. The Republican
workers outwitted the Democrats bv
the single argument indicated by the
word: Bourbon. The night proceed.
ing the election al the Democratic
workers got drunk on Republican
whisky, and they were kept drunk un.
til about the hour for closing the
polls. When we say "all'' the Dem.
ocratic workers, we include even the
Hon. George Ainslie, their candidate
Tor Congress, who, Is every one knows,
dd not reach the Junction until after
o'clock on the day Of election. with.
