FIFTH DISTRICT FRAUDS.
Let Every Democrat See That His Name
is Registered.


These Republicans are very sly fellows
-deyilish sly, as joey Bagstock would
say-and here is the latest proof of it. The
election officers at each of the polling
places copy, just prior to each election,
copies from the poll list of the preceding
election the names of the voters on the
new registry list, and this rule has b. en-
followed all over the city this fall. A
few days ago The Republican election Of
ficers in the Fifth District made announce
ment through local sheet that some
mythical Democratic election officers in
that district were copying the names of all
Democratic voters on the registry lists
and leaving off the names of all Repub-
lican voters. The purpose of this was to
make the Democrats careless about hav-
ing their names registered An invest-
cation yesterday showed that the boot
was on the other leg. The Republican
election officers are transcribing to the
registry lists the names of all known Re-
publican voters and skipping the names
of all known Democratic voters. The
only remedy for this mean but very Gun
ninsly worked fraud is for every Demo :
crat in the district to go to his place of
registry next Thursday and see that his
name is on the list.

giveness, but not leniency, for he imme-
diately turned to His Honor, and, in IA quiz
ering voice, SAID : II am guilty; LET me
get through and so to the penitentiary as
soon as possible. The strain upon me is

he kindly told the penitent prisoner not to
lose heart, take his punishment and let
this experience be lesson to him. AS he
desires to go to prison as soon as possible,
he will probably be sentenced on Monday
next.
