COUNTER CHARGES OF FRAUD.
standardized Sanford at Jamestown
Replies to His Antagonist,

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Dec. 2.-The
complaint Of Senator B. w. Fuller
(Rep), in the senatorial contest in the
IWenty-third district. has been an
sWereo oy Senator-elect e. M. Sanford,
the fusion candidate. He denies that
the county canYassing board included
any returns wrbngfully, and asserts
that the election board of one precinct,
that failed to certify to their election
returns, appeared before the board and
requested the privilege of signing the
returns before they were counted. He
states no Illegal votes were cast for
MN, out ne says there were many east
Iof ruler by persons unqualified to
vote. He then makes the charge that
IN one precinct, where Fuller received
majority, the, election board left the
polls locked for. two hours, with none
OF the ofhcials to guard the proceedings
from fraud. While the polls were
closed there were electors present who
were entitled to VOTE and whose votes,
II cast and counted would have been
for Sanford.
In windsor precinct where Fuller re-
celved majority of the votes, it is
alleged that the inspector of election
TOOK one or more ballots from the ballot
pox and burned them up, that in an
otner precinct the voters were intimi-
dated and forced to cast their votes
Tor Fuller, and that in most of the pre-
clncts OF the county there were many
votes cast for Sanford which were
thrown out and not counted for him.
Before election Mr.. Sanford was told
by one of the inspectors favorable to
Fuller, he states, that if Sanford re-
celved a majority of votes he would be
counted out.

strength, the issues being the same,
crat who opposed free silver is to be
allowed within the party lines, how is
a Republican majority ever to be over
come?
The situation, though not so simple
in it's circumstances, is the same in all
the states that voted for Mckinley this
year. Shall the division between Dem
ocrats be permanent, or shall it be
closed? If the former, then a few
will ally themselves with the Re
publican party, and the vast majority
will stand by the National Democratic
organization and work for it with full
hearts and Astounding faith. They are
not concerned about consequences, but
they WILL under no possible circum-
stances, agree to do penance for what
they believe to have been a glorious
act of self-sacrifice, nor will they ever
assent to any policy which seems to
them to involve dishonor AS Demo-
Gratis, counting Democracy all that has
been held such in the partys history,
they are anxious and willing to har-
monte with and merge themselves in
the body Of their historic party. If
those who control the machinery of the
regular organization pursue one policy
they themselves will be absorbed in
evitably and Of necessity in the Peo-
pies party, and the National Democ-
racy will become a permanent institu-
ton. If they take the other course, the
Peoples party will dwindle and die,
while the reunited Democracy will
press to success those great reforms
which the increasing power Of capital
in this country makes necessary The
issues Of war and peace are in their
hands. 1t seems impossible that they
should allow personal resentment to in
terfere with wise and patriotic de-
ciSion.

BID FOR GASOLINE.
Representatives of the Company
Say the Price Isn't High.

The fact that only one bid was submitted for
lighting the gasoline lamps in the city caused
a deal Of talk yesterday. Representatives Oh
the American Development company, how
ever. deny that there was any combine or
combination, and say that the company ex-
peeted other competitors would submit bids.
The price at which the work is to be done,
the representatives of the company claim, is
much lower than in any other city in the
country, and is about equivalent to the con-
tract price this year when the price of gaso-
line and everything else Is taken into consider
alton. AS to the statement that the price
Of 81 cents per lamp per moth is excessively
high for the moonlight schedule, the company
say that the only saving made in the moon
light schedule, as against the aH-night sched-
ule, by the contractor, is in the amount of
gasoline burned. The same number Of men
have to be employed on either schedule, and
the wages of the men are the same per month
without regard to the schedule on which the
lamps are lighted. 1t is also much better,
the company claims, to get 1000 than 1900
hours of lighting, when the former can be had
for an additional $4,000 per year. The repre-
sentatives Of the company also claim that the
price is not excessive, and is about the same
as is now being paid in Minneapolis.
Regarding the seemingly high price bid if
the city furnishes the burner the company
states that the burners they have secured
have been tried, and they know just what
they will burn and the amount of light they
will give. In case the city should elect to
furnish the burners they would have to take
chances on the candle power which the burn
Clo NOuIu 6ANC anu lie QuduJlCy OIL gasoline
it would take to furnish as much light as
the specifications called for. This chance
about something they knew nothing about
was the reason for the increased bid, in
case the city furnished the burners.
Contractor Mcclellan, who has the contract
for lighting the gasoline lamps, takes exeep-
tions to the statement of ex-Commissioner of
Public Works Copeland that the work is
poorly done and not at all satisfactory. -
Mcclellan says the work is we'll done and is
superior to that of past contractors who re-
ce1ved considerable more than he is getting
and gave much poorer service.
President German, of the board of public
works. seen yesterday regarding the work of
Mcclellan, said his opinion was directly op-
posite that OF Mr.. Copeland. Up to the time
the board were ousted from the city hall
President German said there had been less
complaints about the gasoline lighting not
being properly done than in any previous
year. Since that date Aug. 1, he had not
o. Deen IN a position to hear complaints. but
he should say that there was NO ground for
complaint.

The Building of Bridge Across

City Engineer Rundlett, speaking of the pro-

Northern Pacific and Minnesota Transfer
tracks at Raymond avenue, expressed the
opinion that the railroad companies would
not pay their share of the cost without .
law suit. The matter came lp at the meet
ing OF the aldermen Tuesday night, when
Alo Aliard requested that $50, 700 be placed
this purpose. The structure, according to
the plans prepared, will be 427 feet long with
2S foot roadway and s feet walks on each
side. The cost Is estimated at So, 900. of
which sum the Northern Pacific is expected to
pay $l5. 600 and the Minnesota Transfer com
pany, 81, &c., The Great Northern escapes

secured before the property was plated and

Last year $4,000 was placed in the tax esti-
mate for the purpose of building the bridge
and adding to this sum what the railroads
will have to pay leaves a balance Of $50 700
which will have to be paid by the city in some
way If the bridge is to be built. The city en-
gineer says the present structure ought to
be replaced with another at no distant day.

TAKING THE THEATERs.
Action of the Aldermen Causes
Some Comment.

The action Of the board of aldermen
in passing a resolution fixing the
license of the Metropolitan at $500 and
Grand at $780, which was done at the
meeting Tuesday night, has caused
considerable comment. It has been the
practice to allow the theaters to wait
until the last month in the year before
paying the annual license, and as the
charter provides that the council shall
fix the amount each year, the resolution
is generally passed in December Of
each year. Under the law, unless the
amount is fixed, $25 per night could be
charged for each theater. The custom
has been to fix the license at $100 for
each theater. So certain were the man
ayers of the two amusement resorts
that this year would be no exception to
the usual procedure and amount that
each has paid into the city treasury
S100 and taken a receipt for the same.
The license committee from the board
Of aldermen, however brought in a
report that the Metropolitan SHOULD
pay $500 this year, owing, as they ex-
plain, to the higher scale Of prices at
this theater. The report was adopted
and the resolution will come up at the
meeting of the assembly tonight for
concurrence.

CALL 1T A HOLD-UP.
Each of the Men Accused the Other

/. At last St. Paul has been treated
with a holdup in which the criminal
has been captured, but is due to the
efforts of the assaulted man himself
that Jacob Lutz, alias Smith," hailing
from Chicago, is now under arrest
charged with larceny.
The complainant is Andrew Carlson,
Of 104 RosabeI street, laborer. Carl
sons story is that he met Lutz yester-
day morning at a saloon on East Sew
enth street, and that a friendship was
struck between the two, cultivated by
numerous drinks. They spent the day
together and met again at night in the
saloon. Carlson claims that when he
left the saloon Lutz followed him and
when in the shadow of a building the
latter struck Carlson, at the same time
grabbing his watch and chain. The
chain broke and the watch fell to the
ground.
Lutz turned to run, but Carlson hung
on to his coat, ripping It up the back.
all the time yelling at the top of his
voice. Sergeant Mccarthy and officer
Miller heard the cries and released the
Swede of his prisoner. At the central
station 1T was thought best to put both
men under arrest to assure Carlson's 8.
appearance at court this morning.
Lutz claims to be harnessmaker,
and denies the complaint. He says
frankly that he intended to hold Carl
son up, but that the Swede got ahead
of him.
