After the Campaign.

Net results of the Special Election
in the Tenth:
~. Mr.. Black holds his two coun-
ties and we hold our nine. Consider.
ing that in each county majority Of
the Registrars were Democrats and
that in most of the counties thei1
conduct was strongly partisan, our
holding of the nine counties de-
monstrates that our lines cannot be
broken.
(2). To hold his two counties Mr..
Black had to register at least 1900
fictitious and illegal voters in Rich
mond, and had to throw out at least
1900 of our legal voters in Hancock,
Jefferson, Columbia and Wilkinson.
The committe of Democrats headed
by Jesse Thompson ought to be good
authority on illegal registration in
Augusta, and they filed a list of 200
with the Registrars.
(3). Mr.. Black now stands elected
by an lille gal majority of about 1900,
whereas last November it was up
wards of 1000. Therefore onr task
on Contest is much lighter now
than it was then.
a.. The Registration Law gives
us record to go by; heretofore we
had none.
(5). We can get up the proofs of
1895 much more fully than we could
have done those of 1894 ; for the
reason that all the frauds of 1894
were committed upon one day, in the
hurry burly of an exciting election,
while the frauds of 1895 were com
mitted from day to day during the
term Oh one mOnLn.
And they were committed under
the eyes of men whom we had en-
gagged to watch them. Our proofs
are, therefore, ready.
(6). We can get to Congress just
as quickly with this Contest as we
could have done with that of 1894 !;
and get 1t decided just as early. We
have lost absolutely nothing by Civ
ing MIR. Black another tilt nor

that they did not need or require the

was that Fogarty and his experts,

their dens in Augusta. This was the
only incivility offered the man Fo-

that the services of,his experts were
not required and would not be suf-

ever made by the ordinary of Lincoln

that if the registrars failed to per-
form their duties and furnish a regis.

as prescribed by the law, that the
ballot box would be thrown open to
every man in the county whose name
had registered in the voters book.

experts were forced upon the county,
that it would bring on a row and
that the responsibility would rest
upon him for precipitatiog diff

of the election said, Il have always

left alone to vote az they wished tn 1T
Watson would be defeated. Mr.. Wat
son is undoubtedly a bright and
brainy man, but something of an un-
certain quantity. He may promise
you to do certain thing but you can
never feel that he will do it. In roy
opinion he is too tricky to ever have

don't you Jesse?
And you think that you succeeded

trade out of the Democrats, don't
you, Jesse?
And you imagine that nobody saw

Was it You, Jesse, who carried

Was it you who threatend so work

Oh that these able men had spoken
in Hancock
We might have got the Democrats
in that salubrious region SO ratified
that they would have given us an
honest election-in which event Han
cock would have entered our column.
We shall never be happy till Steve
Clay speaks in Hancock. If anything
on earth will stampede the Sparta
Ring it will be one of Steve's cam
paign speeches.
Hancock went Democratic by $40.
The Registrars had stricken off %
whites and AL blacks-all Populists.
Even after this sweeping reduction
of the registered lists we carried the
county on the actual vote. The ma
jority was given the other way by
counting our ballots for Black, just
as was done in 1892 and 1894.
We say it; and we will prove it.
In Wilkinson county the Demo-
cratic Registrars struck off sixty
Pnpulists who are entitled to vote !;
Jefferson some 800; in Columbia
about the same; in Taliaferro at
least so; in Richmond they not only
retained 1900 illegal votes for Black
but counted 1000 of our ballots for
him.
We say it; and we will prove it.
Discouraged?
Bosh! Bosh!! Bosh u!
Let the other fellow get discour-
aged. His troubles are just begin
ming to commence.
Henry Cohen, one OF Blacks man
ayers wants as to run for Governor !;
says the balance of the State ought
to fight us awhile; says that the
Augusta Ring is getting tired Of it.
All right Henry. We will endeavor
in 1896 to give the balance of the
State fair share of the racket, but
we could not ease up specially on
you Augusta boys.
We wouldn't be treating you right.
You might get rusty and perish of
''innocuous desuetude."
No, no, Henry; when 1896 comes
we will be a candidate for Congress
as usual.
We are going back to Congress,
Henry don't you forget that, GEAR
boy.
N
The most touching incident of he.
campaign was that Mr.. Black was
so ravenously eager for the Office that
he had himself carried on a litter to
the polls in order that he might vote
for himself. That was heroic. We
wept when we read of it. When an
Arcadian like Black is SO greedy for
Office that he will leave a sick bed to
vote for himself, it is no wonder that
he winks at the rasoalities by which
he gets it.
Boykin Wright got so sick that he
had to go to the Virginia Springs for
recupera ion Black got SO low down
he had to be carried on a litter and
Henry Cohen is SO fatigued that he
prays aloud that Watson, the night
mare of Fraudooraoy, may run for
Governor in 1896, SO that the JOB of
keeping HIM under may be divided
around.
Boys, the fun has only begun:
build hospital and have it ready:
Virginia is too far of and li5ters
are too clumsy. A hospital is what
you need for 1896.
