SOME OATHSMADE TO ORDER


Democrats nave nOt tHen Nie SINCE Tie.
atfidavits WEIR, first published. They have
n mass Of testimony which zone of the
~spa can reach at present, hut
which will doubtless he turned to good ac-
count when il can do most good. Already
this city il pretty well stirred mp over the
evidences of bare-faced fraud thus far'pro-
ducs.l and il il evident that there ARE men
ia this town n will hurry tai hunt their
holes before the investigation into their
conduct In ended.
The inquiries instituted as soon as the
original afiidavits were published have
been hampercd thus far by the fact that
some of the men whose names were used
have been hurried out of the country with
all possible speed. Anderson, "a Swcdc, is
one of these men. Ii was not until dill
gent inquiry that any democrat could find
out what had become of him. His whcrc-
abosits are known now. however. and his
relations to the business have been cleared
up by the testimony of men who are pretty
familiar with his share in the transac-
ton.
Andcrson's affidavit was printed i'm the
Butte Inter Mountain. II ~recitcs the fact
that, on election day, he voted for every
republican on Vle ticket. The affidavit
has Henry Bernarxl's name attached as
one of the witnesses, and the Inter Noun
tain add that James English and others
had sworn that they 'voted the straight
republican ticket" The facts i'm the case
are explicitly set forth in the following

was helping me hitch up my team. We saw the
party coming that had met ms the evening before
and that had taken Andcrson's affidavit. and he
APPEARED To- b, very much frightened, and said
into the horse corral, and fr"m there: he took to
the bushes. The party stopped when they reach
Ell my wagon. AMI sand 'wherc is that party

wets. coming into Butte. and they had this Swe,ie.
Anderson. and another Swssie. whose name I ,o
not Know, with them at that time.
IL will br seen that. under an affidavit
which is signed and duly acknowledged
before j.. j. Mediation, Mr.. English repu-
dates the statement that he voted the re-
publican ticket. He shows how AN effort
was made to bribe him or to coerre him.
and his added testimony is altogether con-
trary To all that is rccited i'm the alleged
afiidavit which Anderson is supposed to
have made.
In support of the Affidavit made by
English is another obtained yesterday and
