committee, and Chairman Campbell, of
the democratic State committee. will
meet at the Hoffman House this evening

question of defective ballots in up
State districts has been thoroughly
inquired into by the election board.

Committee said this morning: ave do
not concede anything. The alleged
defective ballots in the upstate districts
will be more than enough to elect Coler.
The republicans have resorted to
chicanery, trickery, and bribery in this
election. Especially is this so in
Oneida, Erie, and Onondaga counties.
Thousands of dollars were spent by the
republicans in these counties"

State committee when told that the
democratic leaders were charging fraud
and dishonesty said: 'It's pure bum
