FLoRgNcE, RANDOLPH County, W. YAp
May 1.-The Committee Of Deputation
for Governor GotT has visited this place
and some OF the fine work OF the DemoC-
racy has been brought to light, The
committee consisted Of James PiCkens,
Of Florence, and j. NJ, Tyre, Of Leeds
vile, The INTgLLIuESCER's readers
know Of the Swiss colony In. this
part Of the State, most Of whom cannot
speak nor understand English; therefore
they are rather ignorant Of the laws Of
the State. They arc industrious and
peacOable, aim to do right and are will
iing to believe others az harmless as
themselves. Having been taught to
obey the law and It's officials, It was nat
ural for them to believe State or
county official would not or could not
miscad them, However, on the lst day
of June, 1888, the Clerk OF Randolph
county came all the way (about 80 miles,
to Hclvitia, gathered together as many
OF those SWISS people as he could find
and issued TO each q paper certifying
they had declared their intention 10 be.
come citizens Of the United States. He
gave one each TO youths who had come
10 the United States under q years old,
charging them one dollar apiece. That
part Of the game was for revenue only.
GROSS FRAUDS.
On September 8, 1883, those same
people were taken over to Beverly and
before the Board OF Commissioners Of
the county were induced to go through
the farce Of becoming duly naturalized.
That was in 80 days alter they declared
their intention,
These people were bound over to vote
the Democratic ticket, which on their
oath before the deputation they stated
they had done. Their votes were Chal'
lenged on election day (NovemberO,
lSSS), but tho majority OF the Board de-
cided to receive them, and they were
counted with the others and sent 10

Such proceeding is regarded here as dis
