sPOTTERs At THE POLLS.
The movement Of the Boilers and Re
r.fHeaus 90 have spoilers and affidavit
takers at the polls 10 influence the votes
q corporation employees was the chief
tonic of discussion in political circles
Yesterday. 10 rs understood that In many
Instances these spoilers" tally-kcopers,'
me B0.ters prefer 20 call them-will DE
selected because Of their acquaintance
WITH the employees 1t is said that If
ms proceeding is allowed to 30 on hum
srars OF voters in the service OF rail-
rrals and other corporations win remain
frly from the polls Indeed a number
have refrained from registering, so as
ro. 20 De able 20 vote.
The Dispatch is advised that the Demo-
cratic canvass of Monroe Ward has de-
vooreI the fact that there are thirty-one
voters in the First Precinct who are in
Ha employ of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company, and have not regis
'arti because they are afraid 10 vote
.-..r honest sentiments These men
rr they are for Bryan. Sewal. and
uh ard fear TO vote for them because
r.y learn that they viii be asked TO
nike anlavit as t. how they cast their
votes. Should they refuse TO make ar
taut they fear they would be p1t down
, Bryan men and be reported TO the com
Iauy.
A LAW TO REACH THEM.
10 is said that this state Of facts is not
corfroi 90 ONE precinct. or one ward
lut extends in more or less degree an
over the city. 1T is COntended that the
liw which provides that no man shall
le mo.estcd. interrupted, or interferod
with 'u any way when he goes to cast
DIS ballot fully covers just such proceed
i1gs as these. The construction Of this
Jaw 's that no voter shall be coerced or
inundated in exercising his right OF
franchise; nor shan any one catcchise
him as TO how or for whom he intends 10
CAST his ballot Niolators Of this statute
SID De- promptly placed under arrest.
Those who expressed themselves
Yesterday thought employees OF rail-
iaIs and I'M fact. every voter. should
he assured that De would enjoy the privi-
lacs NJ casting his vote for whomever ne
pleased. and that 81 he SO chose the
manner in which he voted should De his
"0 secret The suggestion of the Re
trhIc1ns that electors shall proclaim On
t.. presence ~ the election officers FOR
whom they have voted is so plainly a
collation. OF law that 70 can hardly be
STONED
DFN0CRATIC LAWYERS CONFER.
A Inference was held yesterday eve
lr- which was attended by thirty or
more members OF the Richmond Bar to
perfect al organization for the purpose Of
