This man told after election that he
had voted the Democratic ticket. Gen.
Coil said the purity OF the ballot would
be destroyed if you took the statements
OF electors alter election. This report
lays down the law correctly. Ichallenge
any man to point to any authority sus.

eighth Congress he voted to sustain The
position that you could take statements
made after the election by 4 voter telling
how he voted. 1t has been held that
statements made by voter after the
election as to hisright to vote are admis-
sable, but the weight OF authority is
against that, especially if the statement

Mr.. St. Clair-My friends memory is
treacherous. These negroes are not
shown to have voted the Democratic
ticket. Gen. Goff says thtre is no evi.
dence that Patrick Bowman voted Mt
all. It does not infreauently happen
that tho printer has made mistakes in
this testimony, for no one read the
proof. These names were given BY per
sons familiar with them. The pay roll
filed by J. B. Kramer shows the name
as Polk Bowman; the original notice OF
contest contains the name OF Polk Bow
man. In the month OF October this
man was not in auybody's employ, not
in anybedy's house.
