Show THE BLECTIOH. At this writing (1 :!!() o'clock) it looks ns though the liberal ticket would, be elected liy a good majority. LXTTil being be-ing saorlficed and tho hand of the church is visible in this scheme. HEBER AI. VVkli.s will probably have 1200 votes and Lett's vote will be correspondingly correspond-ingly decreased. Proceedings in the Fourth precinct wero absolutely disgraceful. There was a conspiracy there to throw out liberal votes and the arch-conspirators did their work nobly. No more sharue-ittl sharue-ittl exercise of arbitrary powor in depriving de-priving American citizens of their franchise has ever been seen in this country. Without evidence, without any bowing, bow-ing, with no witnesses produced, men whose names appeared on the reglstra- tion list and who were duly qualified in every way to cast their ballot, wero ruthlessly expelled from the polling place and told that they could not vote. Talk about fraud, talk about liberal misrule, is not this arbitrary exercise of power suflicicnt to show what the mormons would do if (he Teller or Caine-Faulkner bill should pass. The two judges at poll t and the two judges at poll 13 no doubt had an understanding befora they reached the polls what their line of action should be, and they carried it out to the fetter, Men who had voted for years in the i cciui-t wore not allowed to vote and when they asked for a roason were told "becmule you are not a bouaiido resident resi-dent of the precinct T,' Work of a similar eharaetor was attempted at-tempted at other precincts in the city, aud hundreds of liheral voles thrown out. Notwithstanding this wo believe the liberal ticket will he elected although al-though by decreased majorities. No words can express the indignation of all true Americans at the outrage perpetrated today, and if their voicei arc not heard in condemnation of these llagrant acts of Injustice, then vs,e mistake mis-take the (oake-Up aud the patriotism of the liberals of this city. |
