Some of the witnesses wit-nesses allege- that intimidation was practised, and others firmly deny it; some protest that the presence of federal troops alone prevented bloodshed, blood-shed, others reported there would have been quiet elections without troops. Benjamin Gardiner testified to having rotten eggs thrown at him by the whites while ue was addressing a meeting, and believed hut for the violence and intimidation, the republicans repub-licans would have carried the state by 25,000 or 30,000. |
