job, that man Young is capable of nothing
good part.
The examination was placed for Tuesday
and Aliens bonds fixed at 81 1000, which
were Immediately furnished by some of
those in attendance; Allen was then re-
leased and he took occasion to mutter some
opprobrious words at Mr.. Young when he
was peremptorily shut up by Deputy Can
non.
CROOKED WORK.
When the people of the 4th precinct
woke up the morning after the school cleo
ton last month and read that their district,
which was safely and undeniably a Peo-
ple's stronghold (having cast a majority of
1873 votes in the February election) had
now cast majority of two votes for P. L.
Williams over R. w. Young they were
simply dumbfounded. The feelings of
the Peoples judges of election, their
checkers and challengers were not at all
different. At 4 o'clock on election day
both sides having kept count of the votes
as they came in, were of the opinion that
the People led by from so to so votes This
was the opinion till the ballots were
counted and the amazing result announced
that Williams had BAL votes against Young's
$3.50.
1t did Lot take five minutes consultation
to decide that there was something rotten
in Denmark, or to locate the rottenness at
poll No. 2, where the votes from M to z
were received.
The judges appointed by the commission
for this poll were Mr.. Greenman and Mr..
Ball, Liberals, and Mr.. Woolley, People.
AT the time for opening the polls Captain
Greenman was not on hand, but, much to
the surprise of Mr.. Woolley, the man Allen
walked up and said he was there IN Captain
Greenman's place. Mr.. Woolley supposed
and though he thought it rather odd, sub
mitted
yesterday the commission denied kow-
ing anything
about Allen.) Allen then took his place at
the ballot box, and every vote that came in
passed through his hands before it reached
the ballot box.
After the result was declared, the Peo-
pies party went carefully over the list of
their knopn voters in both polls-a list
made up as each man Cast his vote. This
list showed that in poll No. ca to II the
result of the count differed only two from
the list. in poll No. 2 (M to y there were
some forty more Peoples names on the
voted list than there were Peoples ballots
in the box. One Of two things, therefore,
was evident: Either large number OF
voters at poll No., thought to be Peoples
party, had voted the Liberal ticket, or
number of Peoples ballots had been
changed for Liberal ballots. The Peoples
managers at once adopted the latter theory
and set about to prove it.
Mr.. Young has had every Peoples man
in the precinct who voted asked these
questions: "Have you any objection tc
stating how you voted.''
'If not, did you vote the Peoples
ticket?" eff so, are you willing to go into
| court and swear to it?''
| Up t, yesterday afternoon Mr.. Young had
the names of t42 men, ,rliose names are in the
VI to u class, aclto ,uit SUGAR that they uoted
the Peoples ticket
Can Mr.. Allen explain why only lbs
Peoples ballots were found in the box at
Poll No. 2, when the count was made.
| Mr.. Young stated last evening to HER.
AID representative that there were about
twenty men whom he had not yet seen.
but the great majority of whom he believed
would swear they voted the Peoples ticket
On this showing it is perfectly evident
that instead of having majority of two
votes, P. L. Williams was defeated by
from 80 to 60 votes.
And of such is the high and mighty party
that Powers champions, and the Christian
minister, Mr.. Lift, prays may win at the
polls.
