Especial to the News and Observer
Asheboro. \. c.. August 4.-itan-
dolph's official board Of c~anVasserS
met today, and after hearing evidence
until late adjourned until Monday.
All local votes east will be counted.
Ne election was held in Cedar Grove
township except during q part Of the
day owing to disorder and confusion
arising early in the day.
After organization of the Judges.
j. S. Ridge was appointed to receive
and deposit the votes. Eli Geargson,
Republican Judge. refused to do any
thing except receive and deposit tick
cts and for some time deposited the
votes. and when Ridge would at
tempt to deposit the ballots as direct
cd when the Judges organized, 1carg-
son snatched the ballot and deposited
it. The election was declared closed
until order was restored. Finally
Yeargson resigned and the election
proceeded. but not until several Dem
ocrats had left without voting. Gearg-
son explained his bad conduct by stat
ing on oath TODAY that he was advised
by Marshal MilIiken in a letter to de-
post Republican and POpulist votes.
The board has sent for the letter.
Numbers Of nceroea and illiterate
white men in various parts OF he
county presented themselves with
Republican tickets with two or three
anti-amendmcnt votes or county tick
cts pinned together. Such was the
case in Cedar Grove township. In
Cedar Grove some Of these tickets
found their way into the boxes. At
Asheboro precinct Marshal Miliken at
tempted to break up the election, but
it was held ND stairs in the court
house and his conduct did not dis
turb the election. Finally he went
to the Republican challenger, who
told him to challenge every Demo-
crat who offered to vote or prevent
them from doing SO. He sen Il teIe-
gram to Ed. Mendcnhail, in Handlc-
man township to do the same there,
but neither OF them obeyed his in
structions. He sees his end approach
ing. for hia political power is gone.
and instead of threatening and abuS-
ING and forcing men 10 do his bidding.
he Will probably find himself engaged
in answering for his misdeeds in Of
flee before the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue. His high-handed meth
DDS are on outrage.

During the sitting of the canvassing

q long unsworn-to protest against count

It is generally believed that Bear
Greek. and other townships would have
given q much larger Democratic vote but
for the false statements which Fusion
leaders caused to be circulated to the
effect that the Legislature had again met
and Put a 5000 prCpert qualification in
the amendment. These reports, it is
believed, ACQUIRED their circulation from
kilograms sent out during the day Of
election. But for this influence it IS be-
lieved the entire Democratic ticket would
have been elected. Registrars and judges
Of election for Williams township from
