THE SCRATCHED TICKETS.

How Mr.. Atkinson Happened to BE Credit
ed With More Than He Had.
The recount yesterday was in marked
contrast with the previous proceedings.
The Republican bulldozeIs had evidently
.elrned that the court co1ld not be iDfu-
enced by their threats. Everything moved
along smoothly, slthOugh there was weeping
and wsiliDg and gnashing of teeth oger the
result.
In view of ths cry Of fraud which psrti-
san organs have raised, it is well to state
that every vote lest to Mr.. Atkinson was
plain ly scratched ticket that had bsen over
looked by the election officials. 1t is well
known that the ex-U nitsd States Marshall
is very unpopular in the rural districts OF
this county, and he was generally cut by
Rspoblicars at these polling places.
As the Congressuan's name stood
the sixteenth on the ticket, it is not
st auge that SLEEPY or careless recorders
would overlook scratch on ticket 9th
erwise straight. At least this has heen the
case in these districts. The scratches all
81 ow plainly and show that they have been
made by different men, in different way s
and at different times.

Chief Justice HaDnsn Shows q Disposition
to be Fair.
LONDON, November 81 AT the sitting
Of the Parnell Commission 10 day Sergeant
Gilhooley, Of County Kerry, testified con-
cerning outrnges. lie said that an in
crease of police had been necessary at
Castle Island.
Sir Challes Ru}seH, cOunssl for the Par
nellites, interrupting the witness, said
1--WE admit all that. We are sick and
tired of reiteration entailng enormous ex-
pense." Presiding Justice Hammer said
be hoped the details would be given as
briefly as possible. WITNESS, continuing,
said that siuce 1880, the police force had
been doub'ei. Prior to the founding Of
the League in 1880, the district had been
quiet. Afterwards, TO Tevir, outrsgss had
been general.
On Cross examination witness said he
bad kept a book for recording outrages.
Sir Charles Russell demanded that the
DDOR DS pTOuuCcls pfl 1iShiy Ou"~t vs.
the Times counsel, said the boos contained
lett ers ADD official communications respect
ing certain per- OBS, and it was desirable
they should not be published.
Sir Charles Russell asked: Why should
the Times counsel have access to The book
and we be denied the same privilege!
Until the judges rule otherwise l shall
continue to call for this and every other
book referred to in the case "
Mr.. Reid, for the Pdrnellites, also urged
that tha book he produced lie said II
counsel were not allowed II Sse the book,
they would net have IA opportunity t.
meet the case properly.
Ju.tice Hannan said it was highly de
sirabls that the whole book, including
column headed "Motives,' should be
prcduced. Specja entries relating to GER
tain pasors ought not, perhaps, be dis
closed. H4 sGggestsd that Sir Henry
James and S:r CGarlas Ras-tll insncct tat
book, and then if they did rot agree, the
Judves themselves would inspect it.
Other p)licsmtn then testified at length
concerning outrages.
Mr. Reid suggested that in order TO saw
time witnesses should state simply tb'
number of outrsges they were cugnizln
of, and the place in which they were COM
mitted.
Justice Hammer welcomed the sugges
ton and Sir Henry James promised u
comply with it IS tar as possible.

The writer's in some cases are not Demo-

extract. 1t was written by well-known
citizen of Marshall county:
THE election is over and you know the
result. L,b,rty district gave Rspubli-
can majority of l2l. They voted every
mau that could be bough. for $40 or lees.
Il was the mo4t disyraceful election ever
held in Liberty. They voted boys Lot
over nineteen years old. Now, what !
want to say to you is, il Pendleton has Lot
mp iority on the face Of the returns, let
him contest. He will surely win if the
shameful frauds in this district are
thoroughly ventilated.

The recount was resumed this morning

Oa notion of B. T. Bowers, Coansel for
Atkirson and Goff, the election commis-
sicnerJ were summoned to give evidence
in relation to that endorsement. If every
thing il found to bs fair and hight the
ticket will be counted.
The excitement Of yesterday had sub
sided this morning AMI affairs went on
with delicious smoothness. The remarks
of counsel were not strictly at variance,
but only contained suggestions as to what
the Court should do in regard 10 ascertain
ing what should be done with the en-
dorsed ticket.
This afternoon the count of Pine Grove,
q small voting prtcinc! Of 80 YHtes, showed
no change. No scratched tickets in the
lot.
The count at Four Mile showed O gain oI
two over the original count for Pendleton
There we're no othar changes. The count
at Aycher's Fork was another surprise and
reused up the brethren terribly. ltshowed
gain of two for Pendleton and loss o
ten for Atkinson, making Pendleton's gnr

tickets scratched about which there Is 81
much ppeosr are simple scratches Of At

tickets at Archer's Fork, tie scratching
