YOUNG AND MAYNARD.

Featuring the day in Norfolk yester-
day in the investigation OF the Second
district democratic congressional pri-
mary was the vigorously worded mo-
ton before the investigating committee
that Maynard and Young, contestant
and contcstce for the congressional
nomination, be required to file at once
statements OF their election expenses in
accordance with the provisions of the
Barksdale pure election law.
The law is rccitcd at length in the
motion and in it severe penalties arc
imposed for failure to comply with it.
Both candidates have apparently vio-
lated it. Former Lieut. Gov. Edward
Echols, Of Stanton, was the only
member OF the committee looking after
the investigation yesterday, the copy
ing OF records being about all that was
expected to be done, and one member
oil that was deemed necessary to see
that this proceeded in an orderly
manner.
In the absence OF the other members
Mr.. Echols requested the attorneys for
the citizens who made the motion to
wait until today for ruling on it and
the request was acceded to.
The full committee will assemble to
hear the reply Of Young to the charges
Of Maynard and the citizens counsel
and any counter charges affecting May
nard which he may wish to file. That
the counter charges will be forthcom-
ing there is no doubt. Young's attor-
neys have been hard at work in Ports
mouth, Maynard's home town, and
where he received large maioritcs, and
no denial is made of the fact that their
charges will be wholesome and hot.
They will make use Of the evidence
gathered by the citizens counsel rs
we'll as that gathered by themselves.
Additional evidences OF evil practices
in connection with the election develop
rs fast as the investigation proceeds.
Men who never went near the polls on
election day are recorded as having
voted rs well rs the dead and missing.
And there are scores OF names on the
poll books whom it appears that no one
ever heard OF save election officials.
Diligent search certainly fails TO To-
cate them. And among names falsely
voted are those Of not 4 few quite promi-
nenL citizens. 1t is evident that an in
vestigation was not thought OF by GER
tain election officials
Attorney Billisoly declared last night
that the investigation had unearthcd
sufficient fraud and Irregularities i'll
Norfolk, Norfolk county and Ports
mouth to throw the election results OF
all three out, and to Justify the State
committee in declaring the election null
aud void. He is confident that the in
vestigating committee will do this. He
further believes that the committee will
rule that both Messrs Young and May
nard shall be barred from the second
primary
