to rely upon Republican testimony,
which may be biased. What hap
pened in Butte on election day il
thus related by the Miner, CIV. A.
Clark's organ.)
"rhe Dalycratic forces yesterday
were guilty of the most fraudulent
practice ever witnessed in Butte, and
this city has seen some very bold ex-
hibitions of this character in the past
in elections in which Marcus DAILY
and his henchmen have taken a lead
ing part. Mel in the employ of the
company We're driven to the polls
yesterday like sheep and ordered to
vote the ticket straight by placing a
cross in the circle of the third column.
BY this means men who could not
read were voted by hundreds for the
Dalycratic county ticket. The heel
ers of the Dalycratic party surround
ed the polling places, and many of
the employees Of the Anaconda COM
pany who would have liked to have
asserted their manhood were afraid
to do so, as being watched up to the
moment they entered the booths,
they had no assurance that even in
the sacredness of the booth some spy
was not watching them. In fact, in
several instances heelers of the DAILY
Gratis followed their victims into the
polling places, to see they didn'tstay
too long in the booths, and these
had to be removed by officers. Not
only was intimidation used, but
wholesale bribery was practiced in
the most glaring Whole
bodies of men We're purchased like
cattle in the market and led up to
the polls to vote. Such disgraceful
scene were not the exception, but
were common and the open manner
i'm which it was done nude honest
citizens stand aghast."
The same methods also prevailed
in Anaconda according to the Miner.

George Plaisted, trial Justice of
York county, Me-, has docket which
shows that Commodore Dewey was once
fined $25 by him and that the fine was
promptly paid. It came about in this
way: ~
Commodore Dewey, who married a
daughter of former Governor Goodwin,
was frequently at Portsmouth, Me-, and
one day, going over to the navy yard,
was met outside by marine who was
in an ugly mood and who INDUCED in
back talk. At last ,Dewey's fighting
blood was up, and, discarding his rank
with his coat, he sailed in and gave the
man a thrashing. ...,. = =. =. It'll

was worth $25 to have the pleasure Of
thrashing such disgrace to the United
States service. New York Journal.

purpose, and was on the point OF doing
SO when II was reported to me that
Spanish battleship was standing toward
us from the eastward. My first duty to
