Of the morning. This is the old-time trick. At
the recent trials of the ballot-box suffers it
brought out in evidence that when boxes got out

not the slightest preencc Of keeping the beershops
closed and drunken men were on nearly every

gercs, made drunk and then induced to vote
the ring ticket
What is considered as good evidence that great
frauds were carefully planned by the ring is the
fact that the registry books mere not returned
to the City Clerk until yesterday afternoon. They
should have all been filed with the City Clerk
the day after registration. The entire registry
of the city as returned is 43,O3S an increase OF

registered this year in that precinct ,259 names

inclined 10 have fight. Assemblyman German,
the regular Democratic. Cleveland-llerrick, can
didate for Mayor, brough to the city 90 brawny
stove-moulders from Albany. These auxiliary
troops fought nobly all day about the polls.
When the polls CLOSED the inspectors of cleo
ton, who were appontd by Garside, were about
to count the vote wien the policemen of the
CITY who are controlled by German, suddenly
swooped down upon the ballot-boNes and carted
them off to the police stations. This naturally
caused great indignation among the citizens OF
Cohoes, and they attempted to storm the police
stations These attacks were repulsed. although
several times repeated.

police drew rev0vers at the close of the polls ana
