IT'S A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Editor Leahy Accused Of Tampering
With the Sheets.
AN ELECTION DAY SCANDAL.

Courts-The Congo Free state Purchase
Advice for Emperor Wiliiam-For-
eigners Being Protected.

MILFORD, Mass. Marc. W.D. Leahy, edi-
tor OF the News OF this town, is seemingly
In a serious position. He is charged with
tampering with the footings on the tally
cbeets at the town election.
selectman w. b. Hale charged him with
tampering with the footings.
In appointing the tellers each party was
privileged with naming six names, who
Were appointed by the selectmen to act as
tellers and counters.
Among the names appointed was Lewis
+. Hayden. Mr.. Hayden being candi-
date for the Office OF assessor, refused to
serve, and the moderator appointed as his
substitute was w. ID. Leahy, editor OF
the Daily News.
The system adopted by the tellers In
counting was to take one sheet, contain
ing so votes, to be counted by two tellers
and verified by supervisor, after which
IT was turned over to another set OF
counters and supervisors to be verified.
Z The real contests in the vote for select
men was between p. II. Curran and Mau-
rice Nelligan, resulting in b7S votes Tor
Nelligan and 66s for Curran.
II was o'clock yesterday morning be-
fore the final vote was known.
Selectman VIM. r.. Hale was one of the
last TO leave.
At 8 O'clock yesterday morning, in the
presence of the counters, tellers, super
visors and group of Interested citizens,
he accused W. b. Leahy of tampering
with the ballots.
A command to Henry j. Pyne, one OF
the tellers, from Selectman Hale brought
that gentleman to the table, where w.
d. Leahy and John II. Stratton were
counting, their supervisor, A. +. Sadler,
having left the platform. Taking up a
sh oivfr m N
tones he asked Mr.. Pyne "if he counted
those votes"
After examining the sheet, Mr.. Pyne
said that he did, but that the figures op-
posite Mr.. Nelligan's name had been
changed and that it should have been 20
instead of is.
selectman Hale then asked Mr.. Leahy
to explain the erasurc. Mr.. Leahy made
no response. An'appeal was then made
to his partner, j. Fl. Stratton, who ex-
planned that it was not an uncommon oc-
eurrence for such thing to happen.
Selectman Hale asked Mr.. Leahy il he
knew the serious offense he had commit
ted. He replied he did not, and said that
he did not consider that he had done
anything wrong
II was within few moruents of de-
claring the results, apd it w6s with con-
siderable difficulty that the moderator
announced the result.
The feeling in the town ID intense, and
whatever sentiment there is fRvors the
Australian ballot.
District Attorney Gaskill will probably
be informed OF the affair.
Mr.. beahy has opposed Se1ectman Hale
since his name was mentioned for re-elec-
tion on the board OF selectmen, 1t was
on account OF His animosity toward him,
and the possible closeness of the vote,
that caused Mr.. Hale to be on the alert
for any miscounts.
Selectman Hale was seen at his home
and verified the above facts.

troop had trouble in getting himself sum-
found his voice. and in neat speech ac,
cepted the gift on behalf OF Troop "A, ana
expressed the hope that in the future as In
the past the same fraternal spirit would
continue to exist.
Previous TO the presentation there was
a chowder which was enjoyed by at least
250 of the cavalrymen, past and present.
Then came an entertainment comprising
singing, dancing, recitations, instrumental
music and sparring, after which there

DALEY PLEADED GUILTY.
He Said That He Remembered
Nothing of the Killing.

Timothy Daley, who killed his wife re-
Gently by hitting her on the head with a
flatiron, and who afterwards attempted to
commit suicide by cutting his throat, was
discharged from the hospital yesterday.
He was Immediately taken in charge by
the police, and was conveyed to the Fifth
station, where he was confined. In the
Sixth District Court this morning Daley
was arraigned, and for the first time w%as
made aware of the fact that his wife was
dead. The shock seemed to stun him for
a moment, but he soon recovered, and
pleaded guilty to charge of murder. He
was bound over to the June term of the
Court OF Common Pleas, without bail.
Daley is tall rather cadaverous appear
ing man, but his sunken eyes occasionally
light no aud throw sharp glapces at his
questioners When examined by the po-
lice he stated that he could remember
nothing about hitting his wife, and had
but a faint recollection of cutting his own
throat. The trip to the hospital was,
however, clear in his mind.

The Portland Oreeonian had FIJI

The Portland Oregonian had this
comment on the result of the election;
The country has decreed change Of
fiscal and industrial policy in the
most prosperous time it has ever
known. This is largely the result OF
the immense foreign vote in the
great cities. The labor vote, LARGE
~ foreign, ignorant OF the extent OF
its prosperity, has been misused by
demagogues, and has revolted
against the best conditions it has
eyer known. It's mistake will beseen
when the prosperity on which labor
has thriven as never before, receives
an inevitable shock through legisla-
tlon based on the platform on which
Cleveland is elected. The .populist
craze is based on the same errors.
The election OF to-day will be the be-
ginning OF a period OF Industrial
stagnation, resulting from thetimid-
ity OF capital and the uncertainty Of
business, and from that conse-
quences will recoil with terrible force
upon the labor classes, through
whose votes chiefly the result has
been brought about.
