Twenty-four years ago Jacob b.
Barnes, a Peoria editor, and a. T.
Lawrence started a game of billiards
at the Peoria house. 1t was rudely
interfered with by fire, which occu-
pied their attention for the balance
of the evening. Lawrence was then
Il postoffice Inspector and was in Peo-
ria on an annual visit and met Mr..
Barnes. Friday he was in Peoria as
representative of a New York COM
pany, and meeting Mr.. Barnes the
subject of the unfinished game came
up. There is no Peoria house today,
SO the unfinished game was finished
at the National. Lawrence is a great
three-cushion player and played that
against Barnes straight billiards and
ended two behind Barnes.

Plumb. Amdayis,s,

The Hon. Porter Plumb made an
affidavit for the benefit OF Whiting in
his contest against DeLong for his seat
in the Fourteenth General Assembly,
which affidavit alleges that in Paonia
precinct there we're 900 and more Demo-
cratic voters registered; that only 500
ballots had been delivered at the pre-
cincts for all electors; that OF this num-
ber many were destroyed; that when at
least 500 Democratic electors went to
vote there were no ballots and that they
were therefore deprived Of exercising
their right to cast their ballots. TIE
canvass OF the vote later, it is alleged,
showed only 125 Democratic votes,
whereas, il there had been sufficient bal.
lots and il all the 6O0or more Democrats
had been allowed to vote, it is alleged,
the majority for DeLong in the Six
teenth district-Delta and Mesa coun.
ties-whIch was only 297. would have
been overcome by more than 100 and
thereby elected Whiting.

What an awful corrupt place Paonia
precinct must be il the Hon. Porter
Plumb is to be believed. And ii is the
home of Hon. c. M. Hammond Too. At
least 500 straight Democrats we're not
allowed TO cast heir votes at the late
election who we're dying to vote for
Whiting; that on account OF the scarcity
ef ballots on hand at the polls only l25
Of the faithful were enabled to get their
votes in the ballot box and 375 good
Democrats had to go home without ex-
ercising the great American right Of
suffrage on that day. The facts Of the
case are that there were double the
number Of ballots sent to the Paonia
precinct than there were names on the
registry books; that no Democrat
was denied a vote il he was entitled to
it nor was a Socialist nor Republican;
and that the official canvass showed
that l50 Whiting votes were cast instead
OF 125 as sworn to; and there we're a
large number OF unused ballots returned
from the raonia precinct to the county
clerk and that Whiting had every vote
cast for him counted for him. The
affidavit sworn to by Mr.. Plumb con-
tains number Of statements that are
