GREAT SCOTT.

Committeeman Scott, Of West Virginia,
who has been down here comforting with
Waddll. Allan & Co.. and the Boss Bolt
ers. has gotten back to New York. where
he is telling wonderful stories Of the
frauds that the Virginia Democrats have
already committed, or mean TO commit
next Tuesday. But not word says he
of the coercion conspiracy. Yet he must
have heard Of that while in the hotels
and committee-rooms Of Richmond. Says
Mr.. Scott:
u want 10 say that the number Of voters
in jackson Ward is 600. and there are
only four polling places In the ward.
The purpose Of this obvious. They chal-
Ienge every darky that comes up 10 vote.
The law provides that each voter shall
have only two minutes and a hall 10
prepare his ballot. They consume the
two minutes and a half in challenging
the colored man. and the result is he
loses his vote. Hence. when the polls
close there are hundreds Of voters who
have not had a chance 20 vote. SO you can
see what difficulties we have 20 over
come in carrying an honest election i'm
old Virginia. We have taken every pre-
caution in every county, and In every
precinct I'm the State, and II We do not
get a fair count there win be some rat
Ting Of dry bones after election.
In spite Of the Disadvantages and OBJ
stacles we shall carry Virginia I'm my
judgment by very gratifying majority"
Now. in the first place, the total NUM-
Der Of registered colored voters in this
city is only 6.427 and of these Jackson
Ward has but 293S.
That our party representatives win ex-
ercise the right TO challenge suspicious
voters we do not doubt; they should DO
so by all means. There are probably hum
dreds Of blacks who have gotten their
names on the observation-disclosures here who
are disfranchised, because Of crimes COM
mitted. In the printed record of the con-
tested election case of Waddill VS. Wise,
we find page after page filed with
the names Of negroes who were dis
franchised by convictions in the courts
of Richmond and Henrico. Many Of these
persons. II is well known. live in Jack
son Ward. The list. If made out now,
would be much longer than it was then.
and for Mr.. Scott to intimate that an
attempt to prevent these hundreds Of ex-
| convicts from voting is crime against
an honest ballot is a piece Of presump-
| ton. if it is not a malicious SANDER.
Indeed. We cannot but suspect that Mr..
Scott has published his views with the
intent of innaming the North against
Virginia. and this, Notwithstanding the
fact that the average election in Vir-
ginia is every whit as fair as the average
election held in the North
When It comes to rafting dry bones,
the Great Scott Will find that the end
men in the Virginia show will make II
very lively for the rest Of the troupe.
