There is a rumor, which we can trace to
no reliable source, that at least two hundred
fraudulent votes we're cast in the
first and fourth precincts of TAYLOR
county, by means OF parties voting
for absent men. The plan practiced was

that be was such and such party, and if
his words were challenged, certificate of
regstra ion was Forthcoming. TINS certifi-
cate Of registration belonged to some absent
sDonger. 1t is well known that a. least 800
voters were abFent on the sponge bars, and
this method could have been adopted and
success fully carried out, owing to the fact
that most Of these voters are recently from
Nassau and therefore unknown to the
greater body Of our people
