explosive, according to the processes di-
vulged by the convicted men, and that they
have been complete failures. The natural
deduction is that when the Frenchmen gave
the formula and processes for the manu-
facture of melinite to the great English gum
making firm they did not give the details
with sufficient clearness to allow foreign
company or power to take advantage of the
new French invention,

MORE ELECTION ERAllns.
Cases of Illegal Voting In the Twelfth
DIstrIct by Colored Men.

Distrlct DY Coiored Men.
A respectable well known man. we'll
versed in the knowledge OF these things.
gives the following facts for publication
Twenty nine men voted Ia the Twelfth
district at the last election who had no
legal residence there, and many Of them
bad no residence in the city. The city
directory does not mention their names
and they cannot be found There were
two careful canvasses Of the district, and
neither one shows the names of these
parties.
There were also 115 persons who voted
IN that district who had not paid any tax
IN 1889 or 1890 and who do not appear on
the assessment list for 1890 Their votes
were challenged, but some OF these per-
sons swore that they had paid their tax
and their votes were accepted on this ac-
count.
John Archie, colored, voted in the
Twelfth district and also voted at the
polls at Seventh and King streets. II is
not known at how many other places he
voted, but these two cases are sufficient
to prove that he voted fraudulently at
one or both polls.
Frank Jones, colored, voted twice in
Twelfth district and does not appear to
nave any residence in the city, at least
such residence cannot be found after
diligent inquiry.
George Harris. also colored, who also
voted in the Twelfth district, does not
appear to have any residence in the city
and is said to have come from Middle
town for the purpose Of voting fraudu-
lently at the election.
John Lamborn, colored voted on age.
his parents allege that he is only 20 years
old. and they should know.
The names Of all these people referred
to above can be furnished at any time
and these cases simply show the extreme
fraudulent means used by the Republi
can party in this city The above cases
are but a few Of those known to exist
but these are perfectly authenticated
and can be proven
These cases show that many other
illegal votes must have been polled be-
sides those whose names are given. The
ll5 persons who had not paid taxes were
clearly disfranchised by the law re.
quiring taxes 60 be paid within two
years before the election. but their votes
were accepted on account Of their
sworn statements that their taxes had
been paid
