In answer to the challenge Of the
Morning News to Democratic news
papers, we will state that 1t is not posi-.
tive or conclusive evidence OF fraud when
a man who has been returned as a deln.
quent by the county collector offers his
vote at the polls. For instance, a man
who paid his tax November 8. 1888, has,
by the laws of this state, the right to
vote at the coming election, even
If he has been returned as a
delinquent in the meantime on
the next assessment. The law says that
he shall pay tax within two years of
election being held, and as this year the
election day comes on November A. it
viii be seen that the Morning News, is
as usual wandering away from the point
at issue. Why does II not read the law?
II is very plain and distinct.

All that we have learned, is that
there have been immense speculations in
