show whether the votes alleged TO
70 be Irregular were east for Morse

foundation OF evidence was Mr.. Fried
landcr's claim based.
The great mass OF evidence given
before the committee was OF 81 lil.
substantial a character that ma
lorlty OF the committee thought tho
case was practically ended aal would
not be pushed. When they finished
taking evidence at Alpena the nttor-
torneys wanted 10 make their argyll
ments there. INT there was one more
witness, not there on hand, 20 be ex-
amined, aud A was agreed that when
the evidence was completed the at
torncys should come Co Lansing TO
make their arguments. While await
ing this action no meeting of the COM
mittee WAS held nor any steps taken
toward formulating a report.
On Friday, Feb. 20, word was re-
ceiyed that Mr.. Friedlander wanted
one more witness examined. Some Of
the senator's obi cteh on account OF the
expense, and senator Crocker was
requested TO write TO Mr.. rriedlander
90 ascertain II the evidence was inn
portant 20 his case. Mr.. Croker then
gave no intimation OF any purpose
TO call the committee together or To
make report.
Feb. "a, when I i OF the senators were
absent, Sena tor Croker presented Ia
the senate the following very hastily
drawn and incomplete report, signed
by himself and Senator Gilbert:
"The select committee 20 whom was

sixth scnutOril l4Strirt al Michigan,

they ala proceed TO the city of Alpcna
and did there on Feb. 3, 1891. pro-
cted 90 examine such witnesses as were
there produced on the part OF the
said Charles \. Friedlander, and ON
the part OF the said Benla min G.

were present. In person aud also rep

ceed 10 SIT and listen Co the examna-
ton OF said witnesses until Feb. o,
NJ which time both parties announced
that they had nothing further to Of
fer.
Your committee 10 whom this mat
ter was referred are unable to agree
though IL appears To us that there
were a number OF men improperly
registered In the township OF Cummins,
In the county of Oscoda, Mich, and
that some 100 votes were Illegally
east on election day In said township.
and that In the township OF Harris
Vile, 10 the county OF Altoona, some
100 voters were illegally registered
and allowed TO vote.
Under the circumstances, we arc OF
the opinion that the votes east In said
two townships should be rejected and
counted as for nRught. by reason OF the
said gross frauds and Irregularities so
committed"
This report was all the Sem to had

cases there was a violation OF pledges
which had been proposed by the Dem

uments were presented 20 the senate
as reports OF committees which the
committees had never seen nor auth

were denied recognition by the pre-

A Very F1imsy Case Backed Up by Fraud
uieu, Report.


In the twenty-slxth district the off
cial vote for senator was BENJAMIN
G. Morse, Rep, 4,i77, and Charles
A. Friedlander, Dem, a ,0Oo. giving
n majority for Morse OF l12. MIR
FrIcdander contested the seat and
IA committee consisting OF Senator's
Croker, Gilbert. Fleshiem. Taylor.
and Bastone was appointed 10 take
testimony on the case and report.
The allegations IN the protest are
In substance as follows !. Though
the canvass appears TO show that
Morse. received u majority oil 1I2
votes, gross frauds were committed
In the counties OF Alcona, Alpena ana
Oscoda. whereby Morse received over
200 Illegal votes.
2 That IN Harrlsville, Altoona conn
~ 100 Illegal votes were cast for
Morse that In this township Charles
Conklin. the township clerk, went
into certain lumber camps and took
the names OF over 100 men in the
absence OF the supervisor and
treasurer OF the township, and that
he did not take down the names
OF men who were represented TO be
Democrats, hit Disseminated against
Democrats; that two members 81 the
board OF registration I'm Harrisvlile
did not take the oath OF office pre-
scrlbod by law, ana that the board
did not appoint one OF their number
90 attend the county canvass. In
support OF these charges aiiidavits
are given purporting "a come from
George w. La ChappeIe and M2rti-
mcr snow.
3. THAT about 100 of the votes cast
for Morse In Alpena were unlawiully
purchased and Illegally east
4 That Ga the township OF Cummins,
Oscoda county, about 100 votes SAT-
for Morse were the votes OF non-reBl-
dents OF the township.
.. That there were Irregularities
prnetlced Ia the township 81 Cum
Minis, and that the law regulating
the conducting OF elections ana the
counting OF votes was grossly vio-
lated.
The committee named above visited
the district and took evidence,
Mcssrs. 1Nrnbuli ana Shields acting
IA attorneys for the contestant, and
George Slcator for the contested. AZ
the first meeting held In Alpena Feb.
3, the answer OF the cOntcstee was

one OF the allegations In the protest
of the contestant. 10 further claimed
that there were gross irregularities
ln conducting the election In the see
un1 aud third wards OF the city Of

were made to return large plurall-
ties for Frlediander.
In the examination 81 witnesses at.

count IN Mr. Friedlander's protest that
