DUPLICATE BALLOT RON.
Unearthing the Election Frauds In

Galveston, April lO.-Ihe election
frauds which were alleged to have
been perpetrated in this city last
Monday, continue 10 be the one To-
cal topic OF conversation not only
among the politicians, but nearly ov-
cry citizen seems more or less agitat-
ed and interested in the outcome OF
the pending contest by Mayor Fulton
aud Alderman Quincy.
The Evening Record, commenting
on the feeling existing, says: "Natur-
ally, the center of all discussion is the
Eleventh ward fraud, and every
has his own theory rs to how the
frauds were committed. 1t is said
that after the poles were closed Mon
day evening, the officers in charge
of the eleventh ward cleared the
room and kept it clear until
! Chief of Police Jordan was notified OF
this peculiar action, and demanded
the representatives, both Capt. At
kins and Capt. Fulton, to be permitted
TO attend the count. The chief ell
tered while the count was progressing.
The ballots, which were in a wooden
box, about the size and shape OF a
common cracker box, were taken out
of this box, called off, aud dropped
into ballot box. Just why the bal
lots should have been put into this
box is not apparent, but it was
done. A gentleman, who was present
during some of the counting, gives il
as his opinion that the fraud was
done while the officers ofthe poll were
at supper, and was simply the substi.
tuition ofa duplicate ballot box, will
the contents prepared for the occasion
When the officers returned and Wen
to counting, they counted out OF THU
box, and counted the prepared ballot
instead of the ballots cast. This, o
course, is only theory of this gentle
man, and it may not be correct. Tha
fraud was committed, no reasonable
man doubts, but how il was done i
purely speculation. Friends of Capt
Fulton are securing ailidavits from
the voters in the eleventh war,
who voted for him. The all
davits already secured by Mi
Quincy aggregate about one hundred
Both Fulton and Quincy will contes

Hoadly at Hamilton.

HAMILTON, o., Sept. 5.--A large and
enthusiastic audience listened to Gov.
Hoadly's opening campaign speech this
evening and frequently applauded him.
In his address the Cove rnor referred to
the magnificent majority given him in
Butler county two years ago and asked
for q renewed expression Of the peoples
confidence in the Democratic adminis-
tratiOn by still better majority. He
said the coming election will not only
be the verdict Of the people on his own
administration and Of the Goth General
Assembly, but also of President Cleve-
land and his advisers. He referred in
calling terms to Senator Sherman's Mt.
Gilead speech, and contended the diff
ferences between the Northan South
were finally settled on the death-bed of
Gen. Grant. The Governor spoke at
length on the temperance question, ta-
ing ground in favor Of license.
OF the candidates in the field and of
party principles he said:
Fellow Citizens Three candidates
for Governor are presented for your suf-
frages, DIR. Leonard, who argues for
prohibition, your humble, servant who
believes in license and Judge Foraker
whose party is authoritatively stated to
be not for and not against prohibition
and who by taking his position is put
into the place of the Sandwich man of
politics and who is under obligation to
carry as other Sandwich men do, placard
in front to be read over the Rhine in
against Prohibition and an
other behind to be read In Oberlin for
