ever he could. He found lots of time,
however, to devote to the children. with
whom he is a great favorite.
Great taste and skill has been shown
in the decorating of the tables. The
Lyceum booth attracted the greatest at
%tention, but the doll table had by far
the handsomest decorations, being drap-
ed in the prettiest of all colors, the stars
and stripes.
The Lyceum booth was furnished by
the young men of st. Joseph's Lyceum,
but when it came to waiting on it. and
securing customers, they found them
selves all at sea, and had to call in the
assistance of the following ladies', who
used all their arts of witchery to entice
Jennie Ginocchio, Mrs. H. Simon, Miss
Egan, Mrs. P. Tully and Miss Ryan.
The Children of Mary were represent
ed by a very attractive table, trimmed

The Republican Election Frauds.

The charge of fraud in the recent elee'
tisan ciamor. 1t is no longer a jest
The opening of the ballot boxes yester'
day shows as conclusively as can be
that it has only needed two years OF
power to make that party as recklessly
and indiscriminately corrupt as the
joker ballot combination ever was in the
worst days of its era.
Hardly one single precinct can be cred.
tied with a substantial observance OF
the terms of the law. In some, the
abuses are so outrageous as to leave
no alternative for the conclusion that
the election officers were ~irresponsibly
drunk at the close of thef day. In a
vast number of cases., there is no refuge
from the idea that deliberate fraud was
attempted, and the clumsiness of some
of the efforts certainly does not palliate
the crime. 2
There is a beautiful unity of purpose
running through all the frauds and
abuses discovered in the proceedings be-
fore Supreme Court Commissioner MI
gent. Every one tends to swell the ma
jority of Mr.. Tom McEwan. who only
a few months 6 was the Federal
guardian of the purity of elections.
The search into this matter cannot be
made too searching. We have a
enough of Republican phariseeism. Let
the people be shown the reality about
the party of moral ideas.
