THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.
But few persona In the rural por
tions of the State are Aware of tlio
gross frauds practiced in Philadelphia
for a number of years past. For tbe
purpose of giving an inside view of
this great and growing evil, we pub
lish the report of a eommiltce of citi
zens who were appointed to look up
the irregularities at the recont elec
tion in that city for Mayor. We hope
all will read - this rcnort. which is
mado by Republicans who fuvor fair
elections. It is not Democratic clap
trap, but tbe truth, told by loyal men :
In the Investigation of tlio frauds
which carried the late election against
the people theoommitteebas conduct
ed its inquiry on threo important
premises, vis : That the Ring would
naturally, so far as possible, repoat
the successful frauds, In kind, of pre
vious year ) that it would ohooae fa
miliar scenes lor lis operations, and
that tho manairement would be en
trusted to veterans.
Tho modes oi proceed u re undor tho
"Ring" bavo been essentially of two
kinds tho accomplishment of fraud
outside the polls and tho vitiating of
rolurna within them. Tbe latter has.
howovor, always boon tho main reli
ance of tho managers, because it was in
the nrst place, eany of consummation.
Under the old constitution it took
place by the direct supervision of the
"Ring" and in the manner disclosed
ty tho events of December ICth at tho
Mayor's Office. The hourly count
facilitated tho schemo to a great ex-
ton t. luko the ilartrauft election as
an example. Upon that occasion tho
most notorious politicians of the party
wore gathered at tho Mayor's Office,
and tbe sbrowdost of their numbor, a
man wbo is directly implicated in tho
last manipulation of rotorns received
tbe division returns as they came from
the telegraph operator below, aver
aged them according to a woll doSnod
scheme, and furnished tbom to the
publio. At the close of that day tho
maiority figured up by the manipula
tors foil short of that upon which tho
"Ring" bad laid its wagers, and tho
- ..1 I l.t !!.? .. .
saiuts uiuar-uunuuu puilLJCIUD during
the suooeoding night reviowod the re
turns of each division, dotorminod tho
necessary vote for each one, and in
structed the officers accordingly, so
that upon tho mooting of tbe lie turn
Judgos tho desired majority was re
turned. J no alteration of that day
and night amounted to moro'than ten
thousand votos.
In this caso, of courso, tho manipu
lation did not touch the ballot-boxes
themselves, but oonoernod meroly the
"Ring" judgos in whose hands were
the tally lists, bonce the alteration was
mado with perfect safety. Last Octo
ber tbe samo operation was trono
through witb, not beoause it was nec
essary to tho eloclion of the "Ring"
liukui,, uuv in oruor to return inspiring
majorities and parado an unreal
strength of pearly. And again in D-
uumuer nsimiiar-'gag was attempted,
but abandoned when it was discovered
that no falsifying of the vote in this
city would chango tbe result In the
State. .
On tho opening of the late camnaicrn
dating from tho nomination of Sena
tor McClure at Horticultural Hall
the chiofs of the "Ring" woro foitrful
that, undor the now Constitution, they
wotild have to depend for' their ma
jority entirely upon the unanimity
with which tho JJepublieans of l'hila
dolphia confossedlyn Republican city
poiioa inoir -vote lor tho regular
candidates, and it soon became anpar-
cni, irom ins oninusiasm which Kona
tor McCluro's canditlacv awakened.
that this support would bo Insufficient.
The necessity increased with every
hour oi the canvass, but it quickoncd
tbe forlile invention of the marittgort
to an important purpose. Be lore the
second week of the canvass had passed,
tho scheme was porfootcd, tbe details
arranged, and the managors appointed,
uy wnicn tne result oi the election was
made a cortaintv. Tho vote- tor be
polled which tbe assessment indica

to be oounty at 10.00Q; these being
the exact figures upon which, towards
the close oi the wek, those in posses,

amounting to thousands of dollars.

NINTH WARD. ' '
In one divison of this ward forty
ropentors are known to bavo voted.
and in another the Citizons' ticket
was deliberately taken away from a
voter and a Republican ticket placed
in the box instead. In many cases
the policemen bodily electioneered nt
the polls, and where they wore nnable
to secure votes for Stoklov. they sue-
oeoded in Intimidating tho opposition.
inineoieven divisions of tho ward
the record shows ovidonce of illegal
voting and surreptitious counting to
the extent of over 800 votes.
TENTtl WARD.
Tho record of the Tenth ward ex-
cols all others in the audacious char
acter of tho outrages which were com
mitted, and tlio vitiation of tho inside
count. The total exaggeration of the
return in favor of Stokley was at leant
500, and probably much larger. In
several divisions, wbore the minority
Overseers were not bought, majorities
were givon against the Republican
candidate a thing which has not bop
poned for years. Tho following, are
but a few out of an immense number
of cases now In the bunds of tho com.

a gang of repeaters attempting to voto,
and requested the Cititons' window,

he did. The rcpofttors being unable
at that moment to give vouohers for

ELEVENTH WARD. ' "
' This ward wos carried for MoClure
by 831 majority, but tho committoe
baa evidenco that by tho purchase of
inside officors in certain divisions about
200 fraudulent votes were counted,
and that McCluro's real mnjority in
this ward was not loss than 500.
" TWELFTH WARD '
This ward suffered in common with
the rest from an influx of rounders,
but tho main work was accomplished
by tho .purchase of votos by a Repub
lican oandiditlio, wbo was dotocted in
tbe aot and will claim tbe attentioa of
tho committee at tbe proper moment.
Money freely distributed among tbo
insido officers accomplished a great
deal in affording opportunities of mis
counting and substitution of ballots.
It is boliaved that in this way alone
500 illegal votos werereportod...
; THIRTEENTH WARD. . : r
Irf this ward Stokloy's majority was
2!3, but tbo evidonce before the com
mittee indicatoa that Mr. flu re really
carried it by a small majority. - In the
five succeeding wards, all of which
wore operated in successfully by the
Ring's hired voters, the fraud amount
ed to more than 1,700.
- NINETEENTH WARD.
' The Nincteelh ward, like the Tenth,
was a conspicuous soene of fraud.
The examination of the divisions in
dicates that by means of a fraudulent
jegistry, debauchery of officers aDd
clerks, and extensive impersonations
and repeating, the Ring succeeded in
swelling the majority for Stokley to
more than 800 above the actual voto,
or an average of 22 fraudulont votos
to eaoh division. Tbe following ex
tracts from tbe committee's record
specify tho exact manner of procedure:

7i o'clock. Tho ballot-box was de
tained by tho judgo'nll night; bo also
appointed an overseer in place of the

; TWINTY-HIXTn WARD. ' ?
The Twenty-sixtb ward, from its'
location, afforded a fine fiold for Rina
oporation, and it was utilized in. tbo
most extensive mannor. .The police
men voted freoly dosplto chullonges
from honest inspectors, and intimi
dated votors gonorally. i In tho Elev
enth .division tho minority inspector
was assaulted, and an attempt mado
to drag bim from tho room. Tbe fol
lowing case is important solely from
tho fact that it indicates wilb accuracy
the part played by tbe police force at
the polls, as vouohers, repeaters, Ac:
Eleventh Precinct A lieutenant of
police came to vote and was oballenged
on residonce. lie tesiiflod that ha
had resided for twaweoksatNo. 19 J 8

that tho station house was bis local
residence. Tbo judge, without any
further investigation, deposited tbe
ballot in the box against the protest
of tbe minority inspector, who was
assaulted, and defied by tbe lieutenant
to oome outside ot the bouse. Subse
quently a parly who had vouched tot
ibo lieutenant was called in to sign an
affidavit, but refused to do so. Tbe
lieutenant loitered around the poll all
day, continually thrusting bis bead in
tbe window-bolo and blaspheming the
inspector. '
TWENTY-SEVENTH WARD". ' ;
In this ward the evidence in tho
hands of the committco indicates a
state of things exactly similar to that
described above. .Bogus tox-receints
were placed under tbe doors of tbe
oolorcd people during tbe night pro
ceding the election. Ono hundred
and sixty paupers from tbe Almshouse
were voted in this ward, tho evidonco
being entirely irrefutable. Not less
than 400 fraudulent voters were count,
od in tbia ward. Tho Twenty-eighth
and Twenty-ninth wards complete the
record, in these two wards alone about
400 unlawful votes having boon re.
turned.
IRBlbl THE POLLS. ,
Inside the polls tbe larger frauds
were consummated (l i by substitution
of tickets, (2) stuffing of ballot-boxes,
and (4) fraudulent oount at the closo
of the day. Tbe committee find that
a great numbor of divisions were un
der tbo complete control of tbe Ring,
and in these alone it was possible to
oount a majority for Stokloy almost
as largo as that which he Is reported
to novo received, ror the present
thesoedisooveries must be withheld
from the public, but they will be re.
vcaied in the courso or lbs invesliga.
Hon.
In conclusion, tbo committee would
assure the people of Philadelphia that
tncy nave only to enter into a contest
to secure the rights of wbicb tbev have
boon dofraudod. Success is cerlain if
