ALSO. REMEMBER 1895 AND 1900.
Some Of the Democratic papers
are now claiming that ia one OF the
counties in Congressman Blackburn's
district sixty more votes were found
in the box In two precincts than
were registered voters in those pre-
cincts. The News and Observe says:
sThat report should be investigated
and IL true vigorous prosecution
should follow and the wrong should
be righted."
We, too, think that Al investiga-
ton should be made, aud if the
charges are found to be true, those
guilty OF sluffing The baliot.boxes
should be prosecuted 10 The extent
OF the law. Tine Democrats had two
officers at the polling places. while
the Republicans had only one. Yet
the Democrats want TO accuse the
Republicans Of stufting the ballot
boxes. u it not more reasonable
to presume that they were stuffed
by the Democrats? Could one Re-
publican overpower two Democrats
and stuff votes In the ballOt-box at
the same time? Let the prCsecu-
tion begin, anu ii there was any
fraud, see If We don't catch some
Democrats. And while we are on
the subject, why is il the News and
Observer and other Democratic pa
pers were not in favor Of prosecut-
ing ballOt-box thieves in 1898 and
1900, when they were getting in
their dirty work in this State in the
name OF "white supremacy" You
can go back and talk about your
reconstruction days, but even those
days were not a circumstance to
the disgraceful campaigns conducted
in this State in '9S and 1900, when
the only argument they presented
was rotten eggs, shotguns, redshirts
and mean whiskey enough to keep
up the dirty work Of intimidstinp
voters and thwarting the will OF
the people at the polls.
