for Democrats. One other box where
we lead by q, 25 were thrown out
and sent returns in three majority
for us.
One man, as reliable as the cOun-
ty affords, saw the Democratic poll
holder putting votes in box by
wholesale and says he will swear
it before any court. We have 1l2
men who will swear they voted for
Brown for Commissioner, yet he
only got SO. At the same box they
we're seen to stuff.
At HillsbOrn precinct amendment

112 men who swear they voted our
ticket.

query. have never seen anything
so bold as this stuti1ng the ballot

WARREN COUNTY.
IA
Telegr f rren county
Fraudulent democratic majority was
about 800.
Letter from Warrenton: We are so
indignant at the course pursued by the
democrats in stealing our votes that we
are at loss to know how to express
ourselves. Our ticket was certainly car
ried in Warren by big majority, but
the democrats would not allow these
ballots to be placed in the boxes, and
we were counted out. Everybody ad-
mits that this was big fraud, and re-
ally there has been no election held
1t was complete robbery and every
honest man knows it. 1t is the opinion
of many that our tickets were substitu-
ted at the ballot boxes by democratic
tickets, and that our tickets never en-.
tered the boxes at all except only q
few. This was, of course, done by the
party at the ballot box who disgraced
themselves, their position, our county
and her good people.
