work in the State. 1t is [ assure YOU
great, very sad and sore diSappoint-
ment to me.
Without a doubt we carried Virginia
py at Ieast zO,VO0 majority. and elected
seven of the ten Congressman, but we
have been swindled out of it by the most
deliberate and infamous frauds ever
perpetrated in the whole history of South
ern fraudulent elections. With all of
these admitted and most glarsng frauds
Bryan's returned majority in the State
will be about 10000 and remember we
started the fight with over $1,000 Demo-
cratic majority to overcome Whole coun-s
ties have been boldly stolen from u.s. At
my own, home in Petersburg, after one
set OF election officers had promised to
give US an honest election, they were re-
moved on the eve of election day, and
Petersburg CITY, which we would have
carried by at least 1900 majority, was re-
turned for Bryan by over 800 majority |
viii not, however, weary you with the
details. | am at work gathering the de-
tails. and will, in due time, epose the
infamy to the country and to the honest
people of Virginia.
