Alleged Frauds.

Saturday were made yesterday by MEM
bers of the Republican committee. Du.-
ing the past week it was alleged that
many Democrats were being transferred
without visiting the Department of Flee
tons and making application to be trans
ferred.
These allegations were strengthened on
Saturday when number of men, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, made application
at the places Of registration to be trans
ferred and found that their places of
residence had already been changed.
Their names were secured and the Re-
publican committee will use them when
it is necessary. Although a majority of
the men were Democrats a few Republi-
cans were in the batch. They had evil
IDENTIFY been taken for Democrats.
In number of the polling places visit
ed but one book was used. These books
were certified copies from the Depart
ment Of Elections. The clerks were pro-
vided with sheets made out in the rcgu-
lar form but the law says that there
shall be two registration books in the
polling place and that the entries in
them shall be made by the assistant
registrars.
In the second ward where there was
was so much trouble during the last
State election. the Democrats tried to do
all possible to keep the Republicans from
getting men registered, These matters
will be reported to Attorney General II.

Seven Democrats went to one Of the
districts in the Third ward to be trans

In the tifty-iifth district the west end
of the Fifth ward two Republicans went
TO be transferred and found that they
had been transferred. They said they
mad never bccn near the election depart

Democrats. Just how many names have
been transferred remains to he seen.
