Shows His Hand.
HOW TO DUMP DEMOCRATS.
Martin Evolves Smooth Plan to Vote His

Others Out.

scheme has been discovered whereby
the Third-street pirates, in collision with
the keepers OF houses where suffers
ere herded, propose to vote their own
hir elings. and give the Democrats the
double cross.
Kelly and Crimmins are still on the run
and by every means in their power are seek
ing to prevent fair election.
Every lodging-house on the south slde OF
Market street is being stuffed from top TO
bottom with heeers OF the Ihlrd-street
bosses, and this is done merely TO elect. II
possible two or three of Nike de foung's
legislative candidates.
:, The most we'll known of these places are
the Melbourne, Yolo, Central and Bonanza.
They are already crowded far beyond their
ordinary capacity and suffers are being
berded in from all parts OF the city.
All those who are being imported, OF
course, are Republicans, but there are
also many Democrats to be found among
those who have their residence IN Tue
cheaper places, and the Republican bosses
are now figuring on plan TO peat the
others out of their votes.
said prominent Republican yesterday :
eve have put up a little scheme which is a
daisy, and we propose to carry 1t out.
There is no doubt of its practicability, and
as for its force there can be no question
THE plan is such simple one tnat can
see no reason for its failure
by means OF our many ways Of reaching
people we have in one way or another
reached out and secured the cooperation Of
the proprietors of the many lodging-houses
about town. While we have the best of the

the inmates of these places many Demo
Gratis. and it is our intention to keep them
from voting.
How do we expect to accomplish this
end?
Easy enough. MY boy. 1t is no trick at
all to a lot of old hands in politics. Why,
il is simply pie when We have the Election
Commission with us and all the local ma
chineTy in our hands.
Our plan is an easy one. For instance,
we find by investigation that twenty-five
Democrats have been registered in one of
the large lodgng-hOuses"
"What is there for us TO do TO prevent
their casting their votes2
The job is already agreed upon. and will
be carried out To each one of them a
notice will be sent, citing them to appear
before the Election Commission, and the
keepers of the lodging-houses have been so
fixed that they will see that the citation:
are never served.
The result will be that at the end of the
FIVE days allowed by law the man whose
name is in question viii not have shown up
and his name viii be promptly erased from
the great register.
ut is great scheme, and owes its origin
TO Martin Kelly, who is an artist whe j
comes down to putting up jobs Of that kind
In this way we hope to shut out at leas
$500 votes that would otherwise be cas-
against Us, and this with the suffers WI
can run in will give Us the town by Yerl
narrow margin"
The above is but sample of what thu
Inird-stTeet pirates are striving to accom-
pish in order 10 rob the citizens of thei
just rights, and the development of thei
scheme at this time is peculiarly fortunate
as it viii allow the decent people to check
mate the move.
Already the Democrats and Non Parti
sans have taken steps TO prevent the fraud
