sent there TO verify the canvass. Thursday morning
uinchley's men met Mr. Hunter and Mr.. Alderman,
Republicans each took their tally sheets to the county
Clerks Office and compared each election dlstrict re-
turn. When they came 10 the second dis'rct OF 'ne
town of Poughkeepse they found that the Democratic
gentleman who had copied the returns hah trasposeo
the figures, giving Osborn 1872 votes and Deane 1879
the Official return showing that Deane had ID" ana
Osborn 1870. Both representatives Of Hinckiey an
mitted their mistake, and ACKNOWLEDGED that OSBORN
majority in the county Is 90, thus eecting Deane oy
SO plurality.
From the statements made by Hill, Osborn, Jim
Iinckley and Tden, there Is no question hat TINS Is
a carefully planned conspiracy TO beat Deane AT any
cost. The policy has seemed to be- throughout the
state TO claim everything Everything includes the
XVIII District, and there is no single man whom the
Democrats word rather out Of the senate than
Mr. Deane in view Of his experience and ability ana
his uncompromising Republcanism.
When It was therefore, found that the oncial
returns did not show majority of over 100 this
seemed TO them the field for operations osborn was
sent post haste TO Columbia County. Teegrams were
sent TO all parts Of the district nstructng Their heees
claim everything. Then Osborn started Tor Albany
and posted the Governor; thereupon the Governor
makes his speech, and he claims the district. Inc
next morning The Albany Argus in double leaded
article put in Ike claim. Observing the remarkable
activity OF the enemy, and finding Osborn was In
Columbia County, il but natural that MI Deane
should become suspicious and that he should go 10
Poughkeepse. This was proper precautionary step
on his part He would have been neglectful OF his
own interest II he hadn't gone there TO look after the
thieves
at should be remembered that two years ago
T1lden's friends counted out W. c. Daily, who was
elected surrogate OF Columbia County. They have been

justified in declaring they do. that Deane will never

have confidence In the uprghness and integrity OF our
Judiciary. / am satisfied that there is no one on the
bench in district who will grant an order or make
decree from political or sympathetic motives. This
fact IS my guarantee that Mr.. Deane will secure MS
seat All he or his friends ask Is justice. II is neoes
ary nevertheless in order that he may get justice. 10
treat the consprators all consprators have to be
sreated-that Is, to drive them into the open light OF
publicity.
Al do not believe that there is a fsirminded man,
Democrat or Republican in the district who Is familiar
with the facts in this who does not cOncede Mr.
Deanes election. The very men who are plotting TO
deprive him Of his seat as said before, know he Is
elected as we'll do. Deane has been fairly chosen
and Will represent that district in the Senate for the
next two years.
