of Mrs. waters-Narious Notes.
Many queer sights might have been
witnessed in every district in this town
yesterday. II person wanted to write an
essay on "Boodle and Its Uses," he
could have found ample opportunity for
studying the methods OF disposing OF the
commodity in a manner as efectual as II
was skillful.
The Republicans intended to carry this
town, by what means they cared not; but
to carry it was their point, and every
means was resorted to to do so.
In the first place II seems as though in
making up the district voting lists they
took the Democratic names and shook
them up well and then took out certain
number for each district. IL seems no
regard was paid as to where they lived.
Voters in this village even went so far as
to hire team and go to every district up
as far as Manville, hoping to find their
names on some list, and they failed. Some
OF them are men who pay taxes.
In this way the Democratic voters were
all at sea. They did not know where they
could vote, and the Republican bosses
would not allow them to have a voting
list of each district for fear they might
find out.
Besides this, not manufacturer COM
piled with the request of the masses to
close their places Of business, and this
forced many to remain away from the
polls.
Doodle! There was any quantity OF 1t,
and the leaders OF that grand old party
the party OF alleged purity-appealed to
mans lower nature to accomplish their
aims, not caring whether they were lend
ing helping hand to assist I'm the de-
gradation OF their victims or not.
The ball was started rolling sometime
ago, when notices were sent to the liquor
dealers of the town informing them that
they must, under no consideration, take
any part in the coming election. Those
notices were sent to all Democratic deal
ers 1t was not stated in so many words
that they would not be granted license
next year il they did, but that is what the
notices meant, and the dealers knew IL.
Yesterday plenty OF Doodle was placed
in every saloon, and il was nothing un-
common to see voter dragged into those
grog shops by the Republican boodlers
or their heelers, and after they had been
supplied with liquor until they were in a
maudlin condition, rushed out to a car
riage, then TO the polls, into the hands of
another "worker, given ballot, have
supervisor mark it for him, deposit it and
rush him out before he knew what had
happened or how he voted.
II was nothing unusual to see "men"
who hold offices, members Of the Board of
Firewards and others, arm in arm with sa-
loon keepers-men VIII ON they would not
notice at any other time; men whom they
would spurn as offensive to their delicate
nostrils, except on election day.
