Both Parties Take the Charges,
Particularly I'm the Close States
: The Endless Chain IN Ohio,
Kentncky and Illinois.

Cincinnati. O., Nov. There
are all sorts of claims of fraud.
In one precinct Is voters were
challenged and barred from cast
ing their ballots. IN the seven.
teenth ward one challenged voter
got out with his official oallot in
his hand. 1t is claimed this will
be used as an endless chain by
the Republicans to be sure that
purchased votes are delivered.
No arrests have been made up
to 9 O'Clock, though one voter
who was challenged brought in
the landlord of the place from
where he was registered, who
swore the man never lived there.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. T.
Fraud is the burden of the cry
this morning by the party papers
and the two state central com
mittees. The last legislature
repealed the law making the buy
ing of votes criminal.
The number of precincts in
Indiana in 1896 was 3,120; this
year, 1902. The Republican
plurality in 1895 was 1e,1e1. If
three voters in each precinct
change from Mckinley to Bryan
Bryan will carry Indiana.
Butte, Mont, Nov 6.-Many
arrests are being made on COM
plant of republicans and anti
Clark democrats, who claim that
there are at least 1000 cases of
illegal registration in Butte city
alone.
Chicago, Nov. THE follow.

here this morning:

cincts last night in Montgomery

clerks office; also changed OFF,
GERS of election after night by
Goebef commissioners in other

man.
Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov. IA
sensation was created here this
morning by the discovery of an
alleged republican fraud. John
r. Stone aud r. M. Steele, prom
inent democrats, were about to
mark their ballots when they
discovered that the ballots were
already marked, containing a
cross in the repu blican circle
One other ballot not voted was
found to contain the same mark.
The three ballots have been Sc
cured and an Investigation is be-
ing made.
The democratic campaign com
mittee charges the republicans
with fraud and there is intense
excitement over the discovery.
The allegation is made that bal.
lots were marked by the repub-
licans with the intent to deceive
the democratic voters, each one
voted by the latter being thrown
out by the judges during the
count. The vigilance of the
democrats has been redoubled
since the discovery was made.

WEST VIRGINIA STRUGGLE.

WAY .'ic Coming Election Is Cn-
usually Important to Republicans.
THE st.;le. ia the Democrats are maxi
liz 10 csrry West Virginia woail indi-
rate thai ,aey regard the six electoral
votes OF that state as Of prime impor-
t.ace. Eut the Democrats have much
more tiEn The electoral vote TO look
after il that state, because legislative
s,.ccess means n great deal TO them.
Ten years ago when the Democrats
lad full control of the state there was
legislative gerrymandcr which makes
it necessary for the Republicans to
carry the entire state by at least 10000
majority in order to secure the legisla-
ture. This in a state that up to six
years ago had been solidly Democratic
is considerable effort. This gerry
mander could not be corrected when
the Republicans had control of the
state, for under the law and constitu-
tIon the distributing stood for ten years.
If the legislature can be captured by
the Democrats this year, the same ger
rymander can be continued and the
congressional apportionment made SO
as to favor the Democrats. The con
tinuation of the gerrymander will
mean ten years more of Democratic
advantage, not only in the election OF
United States senator four years
hence but again six years hence. Ever
if one branch Of the legislature or tho
governor Is Democratic, the Republic
