in his own ward, 4th, left it and went.
to the Ord ward, where he commenced
to challenge every voter, thus causing
disturbance and delay of voting, which
he did to the satisfaction of his free
silver, I6-to-1 cohorts. He held long
list of written names and would only
challenge colored voters. AT one time
fight was anticipated, but the silver
ties finding that they were in the min

the ticket spoke in the bitterest terms
of it as an outrage perpotrated upon
the illiterate voter. s~E
