ton for its examination of the Marion county

OF the most important witnesses yesterday. was
Captain Many This gentleman was in position
to very closely the arbitrary methods with
which the canvass of votes was made. When
the Second precinct of the Thirteenth ward GER
tihcate was being read by Bernhamer the tally
sheet was noted as all of them we're. by the
Captain. 1t was on this sheet that the first rob-
berry occurred during the afternoon of Thursday.
Sixteen votes were taken from Twins vote
and added to Ayres and Hugo. Captain Many
called Bernhamers attention TO the erasure
when the latter read from the certifc tie the
vote as it was rightfully counted FOG for Irwin,
the tally sheet showing only $780, Bernhamer
dropped the certificate as if it was hot coal
and read from the tallies. Inspector Morrison
protested and wanted the duplicate sheet
IN the sack of ballots brought
in, but Bernnamer cried him down and contin-
ued the reading from the changed tally sheet
The alterations had been made but short time
before for the ink was not dry, the added TALES
being of blush hue while the rest appeared
deep black. Captain Many as member of the
board gave valuable information as to all the
exciting incidents of that day and night of out
RACES on the fair vote of the people. Captain
Clinton and Mr. Hornady also testified. These
gentlemen saw the Second precinct, Fourth
ward. tally-sheet brought by Counselman to the
canvassers before it was changed. Five or ak
other witnesses on minor details were examined.

that he was seriously affected with a
severe cold that settled on his lungs
had tried many remedies without ben

so and was entirely cured by use of a

used it in his family for all Coughs and

No one who reads the proceedings
of Saturdays meeting of the CITY
Council will approve the passage of a
certain resolution therein embodied. as
it is entirely too broad in its construc-
ton, besides being undignifed. By
its very plain wording one would be
led to believe that we were ABOUT to
return to the dark days of Radicalis,n.
when Metropolitan police and armed
soldiers watched and kept guard at
the ballot box. If we mistake not,
the times do not Justify such measures,
and the people who long ago frowued
down such doings will surely recant at
this uncalled for proceeding. The
City Council were wrong in passing
such a resolution. 1t only has ten
dency to start afresh the fire in the
breasts of more than one, which, when
once lighted will certainly grow to
much larger proportions. No, gentle
men, such move was unnecessary, as
all want fair play. Mr.. Baynard
was the Councilman who offered this
resolution, and he in particular is en-
titled to censure. We are sorry he
made the move; he did it knowingly
and premeditatedly, and we believe
his constituents should know it. There
is no use whipping the devil around the
stump any longer.
