deserve to be congratulated upon their
devotion TO principle on election day,
Thursday. May oath.
No soldiers have ever been trner to

What must we say OF the noble
hearted women who urged the men
forward?
Il IL indeed hard to submit so con-
tinuous wrong doing. but we should
not abandon the struggle. This,reign
of lawlessness and disregard of right
principles cannot last forever.
The benefciariss of the robbery in
Jackson Ward will receive their pun

net go on forever.

DAY OF UNzAsiNEss.
To-day was one OF unessiness with
the officers OF the court. On the OPEN
ing OF the court any one might have
seen that some new developments had
taken place since yesterday. "a the
military with their guns loaded and
bsyoRets fixed stood IN line immedi-
ately in rear of lthe bar. Besides this,
there were sentineIs posted at each
gate to the bar, with instructions to ad-
NIT no one without the order from the
sheriff. It was soon whispered around
that q crowd from Buffalo Springs had
arrived, and that they had come co see

Everything is rs quiet ss usual to-

morning have passed away and to-
night the soldiers are having music
and singing as they guard the prisoner

The "boys" are behaving well and do

proud of them, Their trip in the hot

members of the detail sick, but these
have all besn on duty to-day, and are

Never beforesin the history of Jack
son Ward have eolored men shown q
greater tenscity OF purpose than they
did on Thursday. Oath inst.
All4esy duriug steady down-pour
of rain they stood waiting to vote. At
no time during the entire day was there
. break in the short lines which were
kept up at the polls.
It became evidsnt that peculiar
work was to be done in the precincts,
The delay In voting was exasperating.
Every device known to the politician
was resorted to in the precincts.
Some men could not wait, but 9TH
ers took their places. For the first
time, NO illiterate colored man offe red
to vote. Ol the contrary, every man
marked his own ballot and did not ask
the aid of the judge.
1t had been discovered that the
judges intended to shut themselves in
the polling place after sundown and
Excluding those who were to witness
the count, would tally the ballots with
the names on the poll books. Every
effort YVES made to prevent this. The
judges were seen about il.
In the First Precinct, it was agreed
to admit the representatives of the
candidates, Messrs. W. p. Epps and
rhomss H. Crump when the polls
closed. The judges there re Messrs.
Plus Keller, Philip Neiz and W. A.
Hunter.
EVIDENCES OF FRAUD.
In the Second Precinct, they refused
to do this, but after the polls closed,
shut the doors and windows and pro
ceeded to tally ths ballot. After they
had been in the room with the ballet
box as long as they wanted, they ad-
mitted the representatives OF the Re-
publican candidates, Messrs. W. p.
Burrell and Edward Dsrricott. The
judges were Messrs. A. J. Keith, James
Bahen, Jr., and James Melton.
In the Third Precinct, the ballot box
was put in the back part of dnrkeDed
room out OF sight of the voters.
When q person voted, Mr.. George Pol
lock, brother to one of the candidates
took it, turned his back and walked to
the ballot-box to deposit it.
The candidates protested, bus 10 had
no effect upon the judges. Mr.. 0. M.
Gasser walked up and down On the
outside of the polling place.
Although he had promised that the
window should be kept open during the
tally, it was closed and the Republi-
