Democratic Election Frauds In south

That the gr0ssest frauds were committed In the

IN order TO defeat Congressman Smalls in dis

not been expected that one Of the leading Demo

fraud, yet the Greenyille Is. C.) News, just re-

ful results in the defeat of SmallS there is an end
less train OF bad results. The Republican news
papers and politicians are given Strong case and
tthey VIII make the most OF 1t. They will charge
that we carved the State into districts on curious
lines, and by dividing counties TO throw
the c0lored vote into one district
and not cOntented with that have
gone into that district and stolen the one Repre-
sentative. They will not only charge but they
prove that the county boards acted within the law
IN throwing out many boxes and hundreds of
votes for Irregularities but the fact will stand out
bold and unquestiOned that Smas has been de-
featedby the official negligence of Democratic
officials appointed by Democratic authority The

be put before the country as being party to a
plain, deliberate and wanton fraud"
