ONE ONE ON THE NEXT JURY
A Tainted Election Officer
on the List for the April
Term Of Court.
DRAWN TO TRY HIMSELF.
How He Came to be Selected and
What Can be Done to Prevent
Him from Serving.

The petit jury drawn several days ago
will, in all probability. sit in Judgment
on the election officers. who have been put
under suspicion Of fraud by the revela-
tions made by the Senate's Elections
Committees investigation. For this rea-
son it is essential that the members of the
jury should not be connected with poll
tics, directly or Indirectly. But the
startling discovery was made yesterday
that one of the suspected men has actu-
ally been drawn to serve on that verY
jury panel.
Among the names Of the sixty-fi9e
jurors drawn by Sheriff Davis, Tuesday,
to act at the next term Of Court. was that
Of David Gordon, of No. 1SO Essex street.
Mr.. Gordon is a we'll known Gammon-
town Republican politician; and at the
last election he represented his party as
an Inspector of elections at the polling
place in the Second precinct of the Sec
ond district.
WORK IN THAT PRECINCT.
The character of the work done at that
precinct. and it's extent, is sufficiently in
dicated by the fact that the Senate's In
vestigating Committee found 130 jokers
slowed away on the string in the box.
They had been counted and tailed as
LnOugn Jney represented the honest
suffrages of 100 honest voters. That they
did not, and that they were first stuffed
into the box, is indicated by the fact that
the stamping and milling that decorated
them had not been made by the ma
chinery of the box.
OF course Mr. Gordon may have had no
hand III putting them there. But it was
his duty, and his selection as Republic
can inspector was that he might be in
position to see ard know that no frauds
were perpetrated there. 1t is hard to see
how such monstrous frauds could have
been perpetrated without the connivance
OF Mr. Gordon.
Whether they are or not, the impro-
priety OF having one of the election officers
on the jury is so manifest as to need 20
ar gument.
And yet here is one on the list.
THE SHERIFF EXPLAINS.
When l called on the Sheriff yesterday
and asked him to explain why such an
outrageous selection had been made he
expressed his surprise that it had been
done. II have no cause for picking out
any particular man for juror he said
and do not know that David Gordon
acted as an election inspector. In select-
ing jury, Clerk Ricnard Garrick makes
up the list and have nothing to do with
it except to draw the names from the box
know Mr.. Gordon but 1 have not seen
nj m within three or four years not since
have been Sheriff.
II have no power to discharge juror
after his name Is drawn from the box but
