represent a vote for a Democratic
ticket; such elect0r went into the
booth, obtaining a new ballet from
the clerks, which new ballot he did not
deposit in the box, but voted the bal
lot which had been illegally given him
as aforesaid, taking away the unused
ballot, which was again stamped out |

resent a vote fCr the Democratic ticket |
was given toanother Republican elector |

in this way a large number OF Repub
lican voters were induced to and did
vote the Democratic ticket, which
would otherwise have voted fer me-
