Cincinnati, O., Oct. 27.-To prevent
election frauds in large cities where it
is impossible for every citizen to know
his neighbor, the registration laws
were passed by the general assembly
of Ohio. These laws provide that be-
fore citizen can vote he must regis
ter; that in doing so he must give the
exact location of his residence. name
of the street and number of the house;
if more than one person lives in the
building he must tell on which floor
he lives. front or rear, and the name
or number of his tenement. For an
elector to fail in any of these particu-
lars is to open the door to fraud. To
register in a precinct In which man
is not legal resident is violation of
law and penitentiary offense. A
singles mans residence is the place
where he sleeps; the place he regards
as home; the place to which he ex-
poets to return when he leaves it. A
married mans residence, If he is sup
porting his family, is the place where
the family resides. He cannot estab-
lish any other place as his residence,
no matter how long he may inhabit
It, These requirements are necessary
to prevent men voting more than once,
and to prevent men voting whose legal
residence is not in the city in which
they may wish to vote. To make a
false statement to an election officer is
perjury; to register or vote falsely, or
to attempt to do either of these is
penitentiary offense.
But in Cincinnati the elections laws
are not taken seriously. Most culpa-
BILE Of all in the disregard of these
laws is the board of elections itself.
Look at the registration lists of Cincin-
natl and you will find thousands of
men registered like this: John An
drews, Spencer House." Then there is
the case of 13 Gano alley, from which
nearly 70 men are registered. Com
plant about this place, among hun
dreds Of others. was made by the cit
izens committee. The board of cleo
tions sent a policeman to the place to
"see if there is any truth in the charge
that only three of the entire number
of men registered from the place real
ly live there" Monday the chief of
police reported that the proprietor of
the place said that he did not know
some of the men, but that they prob
ably liN I'd in his place; that so many
men lived there he couldn't keep track
of all. This place, as stated in a pre-
ceding letter. consists of two small
rooms which do not contain a single
article of furniture.
The records kept by the board of
elections Of this city are next to worth
less so far as being a check to fraudu-
lent voting is concerned. Each men,

that's what you really swear. Now,

his utmost to secure fair and honest
elections, and no member of the board
does anything in that direction. Seems
preposterous, doesn't it? Remember,
this is Coxinnatus, some times called
Cincinnati. The newspapers are either
silent or in collusion with the gang,
the people do not know, and so Cox
and his gang do as they please If you
do not believe that statement, look at
this:
William Rindsberg is a city employe.
He is a superintendent in the street
department. His home is at S25 Liv-
ingston street That is in Precinct D
of the Fourteenth ward. On October
s he registered from 31S Central ave-
nue., which is in Precinct c of the
Eighteenth ward. The records show
tnat he did the same thing last spring.
Now look at this picture:
Henry Williams works for the city
in the Hunt pumping station. He lives
with his wife and children in College
Hill precinct, which is beyond the city
limits. He owns his home at that
place. Yet Williams is registered in
Precinct G of the Fifth ward of Gin
cinnati. He gives his residence as 4S
Accommodation street He has a
daughter living there. Williams voted
here last spring. A man from Cleveland
would have Just as much right to vote
in Cincinnati. Today a demand was
made on Police Prosecutor Scott
Holmes for a warrant for Williams on
the charge of having illegally register
ed in the city this fall. Holmes re-
fused to issue a warrant.
A demand was then made upon him
for a warrant for William Smith Gates
on the same charge. The following dia-
logue took place:
Where did this Mr. Gates register
from?" asked Holmes.
"In Precinct e of the Eighteenth
ward, from 1886 George street"
How do you know he does not live
there?"
His father lives there and he told
me-"
THAT is no evidence. You must have
personal knowledge yourself"
well, young Gates told me himself
that he did not live there"
"He did. did he? Where does he
live?"
II don't know. All care to know
is that he does not live in the house
he registered from"
Perhaps he lives in some other
house in the same precinct"
Perhaps he does. He told me he
lived in a house on Longworth street,
but l went there and the people told
me he did not live there"
maybe they were mistaken"
Maybe they were, but / went back
to Gates and he admitted that he had
lied to me-"

SATAN'S ANNEX

New York, Oct. 26.-In one of his
characteristic, vituperative sermons
bearing upon the political situation 10
this city, delivered yesterday, Dir.
Charles H. Parkhurst, Tammany's i'm
plorable enemy, took occasion to re-
fer to that organization in terms that
exceeded in vitriolic expression all
previous ones on the same subject.
He referred to Tammany as IAN an
mex to the Kingdom of Satan," and Of
the braves said:
with a few accidental exceptions
they would be in the rogues gallery If
they were where they belonged.
Back of the forces arrayed against
each other today" he said, "is one of
those energies dating from God, and
the other dating from the devil; ana
Tammany stands for the diabolism.
The supreme impeachment to be
brought against the men who want to
administer this city and have not
had chance to do so for two years
is not that they are incompetent Is
not that they are not able to keep the
streets clean, the taxes down, the crim-
inals under control; it is that they are
bad, ethiCally diseased, morally rot
ten, 95 per cent. of their conscience
turned into stomach and beastly pas
sion; so morally foul that they befoul
everything they touch.

PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO BOSS COX

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 27.-The cam
paign which has been especially live
ly here for some days, resembling the
famous English hustings, described by
Dickens, presented unusual features
Monday, some twenty Democratic
speakers being heard from 11:30 a. m.
until late hour in the evening, on
the most prominent street corners and
squares, while Tom l.. Johnson, guber-
Material candidate; Judge Dempsey,
candidate for state supreme Judge, and
ex-Attorney General Judson Harmon
attracted large audience to the tent
meeting at York and Freeman streets
in the western part of the city.
Mr.. Johnson and his retinue reached
the city at from Greenvllle, and re-
paired at once to the st. Nicholas,
where many prominent citizens called
to extend their well wishes and express
their confidence in his winning a VIC
tory in this campaign.
The big tent at York and Freeman
streets was crowded when the meet
ing opened. The chilly air did not de-
bernatorial candidate an ovation.
Many women were in the front seats.
While waiting for Mr.. johnson, ex-
Attorney General Harmon, who pre-
sided, introduced Prof Lybarger of
Philadelphia, who recited poem and
made speech, in which he said it had
become the settled purpose of Mr..
Johnson's life to elevate the toiling
masses and bring about industrial lib
erty.
Mr.. Johnson was loudly cheered on
his arrival. His reception made him
say he almost imagined himself in the
old tent in Cleveland. He was glad to
be able to speak in behalf of the Dem
ocratic platform.
s"Our opponents" he said, "call 1t a
patchwork Of fads and isms and a
crazy quilt of Socialism and anarchy,
and yet none can say single plank
should not be adopted because unfair"
The speaker referred to the Miami
and Erie canal "steal" and said he be-
lieved absolutely in home rule. He
didn't know whether elections in Gin
cinnati were fair. but was suspicious
that, as they do in Philadelphia, they
vote dead men here He had asked
a few Democratic crooks in Cleveland
not to vote for him, and before cleo
ton day would ask few more.
The speaker said of Mr.. Clarke that
he would not, If elected senator, vote
for the ship subsidy bill and other no.
torious bills. as Senator Hanna would.
Mr.. Clarke is also rich man, but there
is no harm in riches which come by
legitimate business or enterprise. The
speaker lauded Judge Dempsey, candi-
date for supreme court judge, and de-
nounced Judge Summers, who he said
held back a decision to further his can"
