Philadelphia, November 3. The po
' litlcal atmosphere of Philadelphia is op
pressive. It made tbe night belore election
dart with suspicion. Out of partisan dis
trust floated ghostly fancies, and these peo
pled the alleys of the Quaker City with "re

Rad. feared the purchase of a dishonest
count.

ii. tho Only Tiling That Will Defeat the
Democratic Candidate.
rsraciAL telegham to the dispatch.!
New York, November 3. W. TJ. Hen
scl, of Lancaster, came over to New York
this morning, but returned to Pennsylvania
this evening, in order to be ready for the
coning fray bright and early to-morrow
morning. When asked what he thought
would be the result of the contest, he an
swered: "I think it will be a close struggle, with thp
odds In favor of Pattison. and with chances for
a tidal wave in his direction. I was talking last
night with Mr. Slngerly, wno believes Pattison
will have 40,000 majority, and he said that the
only thing that disturbed him was that the
Democratic prospects are so grand and glori
ous as to apDear almost suspicious, as though
Pattison was having an almost too easy time of
it and that therefore there may he some unex
pected accident iu store for him. Much, of
course, will depend ou what the other side is
able to accomplish in the way or corruption.
The experience of Election Judge Francis
Ilannan, who snore out the warrant for Colonel
John F, Glenn's arrest for bribery, may be ex
ceptional or it may be the endence of a widely
spread scheme. I was nresent when Bannan
came forward and produced the monev which
had been paid him. He is not a boodler, but a
man of unquestioned integrity. It is not
likely, however, that his experience is slncu
lar. because, certainly, if a good, honest Demo
crat were picked out to be bribed, it stands to
ieaoa that money must have been offered to
election officers whose integrity is not above
spicion. However, this quick exposure and
arrest will be likely to have a retarding effect
it any wholesale scliemo of fraud is contem
plated. Bribery is the only thing tho Pattison people
rmctofear. I well remember that in the
Uuckalew-Hartranft campaign of 1S72 the
Democrats on the eve of election seemed as
certain of succcess as they do to-dar. The Re
pnlilleans. however, had a reserve fund of
S1S0,0(1U. which was distributed throughout the
htatc on election day. and they elected Hart
lauft by a large majority. At the time I
thought that the rumors about this large sum
of money were exaggerations, but ,now I know
as well as I know my own name as well as 1
can know an j thing that I haven't seen with
my own eyes that amount ot money 'was
raised and expended..
WEST VIBGINIA OUTLOOK.
A Remarkably Actie Campaign Tfinds Up
With Affairs Mixed.
iSrEClAl. TU.SGCA3I TO THE DISPATCH.1
Wheeling. W. Va., November 3. The
outlook in this State for the election to-morrow
is rather a mixed one, and here at the
close ot the campaign, which has been re
markable lor its activity on both sides, con
sidering that it is au "off year," one can
icallymake nothing in the way of predic
tion which is not likely to be upset by the
facts when the returns come in to-morrow
mgiit. The leaders ot both parties agree in
one thing, and that is thev claim everything
with entire confidence. The truth is, view
ing the State in the light of the campaign
two years ago, and supplementing that
knowledge with the lacts as to the present
campaign, it no'nld not be surprising, on
the one hand, if the Democrats carried both
branches ot tbe Legislature and elected all
four Congressmen; or, on the other side, it
the Republicans should have the Legisla
ture and elect three out of the four Con
gressmen. About the only sure thing in it is the elec
tion of W. L. Wilson (Dem.) in the Second
Congressional district. Wilson will be
elected because he lives in a Democratic
district, which is mro to leturn him by at
least 300 or 400 majority. Judge.Lucas,
candidate for the Supreme Bench, iny pos
sibly be defeated, because hundreds and
perhaps thousands of Democratic voters
who never scratched a ticket in their lives
will refuse to support him.

Shakojt, Pa., November3. To-morrow's
election will resul; in a larger vote being
polled iu Mercer county than was cast in
the left Presidental campaign. A desperate
battle has been wazed by the Democratic
party to capture the State ticket, but Re
publican County Chairman Perry says that
the county may be couated in Delamater's
column. The bitter Congressional fight be
tueen McDowell, Phillips and Gillespie
has completely overshadowed the State
campaign, arid all three candidates are to
night claiming the election. It is eared
tht tins fight may hurt Delamater's vote.

PATTISOK'S LAST MEETING.
A Large Audlnnce Gathers at Ambler to
Hear His Final Speech.
-rrrcIAt-TELKOKAMTOTllEDISPATCrtl
Amdler, November 3. Ex-Governor
Pattison, William S. Stenger and Major
Moses Veale arrived in Ambler at 0 o'clock
this evening to address a mass meeting held
in the public square. Over 1,000 Demo
crats, Republicans and Independents gath
ered uronnd the speaker's rtand. Dr. F. S.
Wilson, of Jarrettown, was elected Presi
dent. When the ex-Governor was intro
duced to the audience there was prolonged
cheering, and the applause continued
throughout his address, which lasted three
quarters of an hour. The speaker discoursed
at length on the purposes of constitutional
government, and urged his undieuce to ex

and conscientious! v.
Mr. Pattison concluded by urging the
Toter to co to the polls to-morrow and vote
intelligently and fearlessly, and he would
be satisfied with the result. He was fol

heartv and enthusiastic reception, attended
largely by Republicans, Mr. Pattison and

THE PIGHT IS WISCONSIN.
The Bennett Law, Upheld by Republicans,
tho Great Issue.
Milwaukee, November 3. The Ben
nett compulsory school law is the issue
which overshadows all others in the election
in Wisconsin, where a full State ticket is to
be elected. The unexpected election of
Mayor Peck iu the Republican city of
Milwaukee by the aid of the sectarian oppo
nents of the Bennett lav forced him to tho
Iront last spring, and he was ouly a few
weeks afterward nominated by the" Demo
crats for the Governorship.
His Republican opponent is Governor
Hoard, who was renominated by acclama
tion by the Republicans and who holds
boldly the position with his party that the
Bennett law is sound. By pledging them
selves to its modification or repeal the Dem
ocrats hope to secure considerable support
from the Lutherans and other sectarian so
cieties for their ticket. Tne Republicans
are confident that they will gain from the
Democratic ranks a sufficient number of
voters who favor the law to more than offset
the sectarian vote.
f K0HTBITI0N FOE NEBHASKA.
Fate of the Proposed Amendment in Doubt,
Tfith Chances Against It.
Lincoln, Neb., November 3. The elec
tion in this St-te to-morrow promises to be
the closest and most hotly contested in its
history. The situation is uncertain. Four
tickets are in the field, and of these the Re
publicans and the Farmers' Alliance both
claim the victory. At the State Repub
lican headquarters Chairman Watson claims
the election of the entire State ticket by
pluralities ranging from 8.000 to 15.000.
The result on the prohibitory amendment
is also in doubt, the general feeling appear
ing to be that it will be defeated. The
amendment will cause a great deal of
scratching and greatly complicate the result.
L. D. Richards, tbe Republican candidate,
and John H. Powers, the Alliance candi
date for Governor, are non-committal, while
James E. Boyd, the Democrat, is strongly
opposed to the amendment. The Alliance
will undoubtedly elect a majority of the
lower house of the Legislatuie, and perhaps
of the Senate.
CHAIRMAN KERB CONFIDENT.

His Majority Will be Satisfactory.
rSPBCIAI. TJ'.LEOEAU TO THE DISPATCH.!
Harrisbukg, November 3. Ex-Senator
William A. Wallace, Chairman Kerr, of
the Democratic State Committee, and J. F.
Snyder, of Clearfield, who performed an im
portant part in the campaign just closed,
passed through this city yesterday after
noon on their way home to vote ior Pattisoa
and the rest of the Democratic ticket.
Chairman Kerr, in answer to a question
as to the political situation, said: "There
is only one thing to think with everything
going our way. It is a 'sure winner' this
time. They can't stop it. They have gone
all to pieces."
"Will you xenture a suggestion as to
what majoritv Pattison will have in the
State?" - -
"No, sir, I hayeno figures to give, but the
majority will be big enough to satisfy every
body I am going home to vote now, and
that is what I want to see every Democrat
do. That is bis first duty."
Senator Wallace expressed an opinion
similar to that of Mr. Kerr.
FARMERS CLAIM THE STATE.
A Third Party Expects to he the First One
in Minnesota.
St. Paul, November 3. Minnesota is
one of the interesting political States of the
Northwest this fall, from the fact of the
phenomenal growth of the Farmers'
Alliance. It is likely that this party will
to-morrow cast 40 per cent of the total vote
of the State. Minnesota has heretofore been
strongly Republican, and with four full
State tickets in the field the chances are still
slightly in favor of the Republican ticket.
The most sanguine party in the State is
without doubt the Farmers' Alliance, and
they claim the State by from 10,000 to 20,000
plurality. Of course, the older parties con
test this, but it is trequentlyconceded that
either ot the three parties is almost equally
liable to win.
The Republicans claim the entire five Con
gressional districts of the State, but in sev
eral of the districts their claims are stub
bornly contested by the Democrats and
Farmers' Alliance.

Delamater's address to-night was very
conservative, scarcely touching on politics.
He referred to the campaign as having been

and O'Brien's American Reception.
LONDON'S iIR8T ELECTRIC E0AD
tBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPACT.!
London, November 3. A remarkable
seizure of pictures was made to-day in the
fashionable quarter of Pall Mall, which has
created a great deal ot excitement through
the city. For the past three , weeks the
moral mind of London has been shocked by
the exhibition at the art gallery la Pall Mall
of a series of paintings illustrating tbe works
of Rabelais. T"hese are by M. Garnier, who
painted "Nana," which had such a re
markable success. The pictures are all of a
glaring character, and some of them are so
bad that they were put into a private room.
The gallery has always been crowded since
it was opened, and ladies belonging to the
best society and men of the world havebeen
among the chief and most constant visitors.
To-day the Chief Police Superintendent of
the district, Mr. Fisher, accompanied by
Inspector Conquest, entered the gallery and
strolled about looking at the pictures. Then
they entered the private gallery and to the
consternation of all tbe visitors seized all the
pictures that were on exhibition. .The Chief
Superintendent of the district said to the at
tendant as be exhibited the warrant under
which he was acting: "I shall want all these
to take away." The attendant was indig
nant, but did not attempt to make any re
sistance, and then the officers took down all
tbe pictures from the walls and conveyed
them to the police station.
As scoh as the- fact of the seizure was
known, the crond o! visitors became panic
stricken and immediately fled, as people
feared if they were found on the premises
they would be arrested. Then the doors of
the gallery were closed. Hundreds of
would-be visitors were turned away; and so
great is the notoriety that has attached to
this exhibition, that among them were very
many people who had come to town from
all parts of England in order to see those
pictures. The prosecution of the owners
will begin to-morrow at the Bow street po
lice court.
DROPPING INTO SARCASM.
The Thunderer" Attempts to Belittle the Re
ception to Dillon and O'Brien.
BY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.!
LONDON, Novembers. The rime of to
day prints the following editorial:
Those higb-souled patriots, Mr. Dillon and
Mr. O'lirien, who hurriedly left their own conn
try for their own country's good, have arrived
in America and met with a carefully-engineered
reception, at which the proper heroic tone must
have been rather difficult to maintain; but a
brave face was put upon it by the hosts and
the guests. The stimulating talk usnal udou
such occasions was freely poured forth, during
which Mr. Dillon advised that no mouey irom
the famine f una should be sent to Ireland, be
cause that would only enable tho people to pay
their rents. This pulley is a mistake, for the
cry of relief for famine-stricken people would
be the proper thing to relax the purse strings
of the American people, who cannot fail to be
aware that in the first place there is no famine
worth naming, and in tho second place there is
no intention on the part of the patriots to spend
any ot their hard-won gains in relicvingauy dis
tress. Judging from tbe speech, the outrage busi
ness Is in rather a depi essed condition at present,
as the itiuerant patriots aio anxious to rnaXe
us believe they never had any connection with
It. Moreover, the Chief Secretary traveling
about in the most poverty-stricken districts of
Ireland with no more serious accident than an
injury done by an Irish window fastening is a
spectacle calculated to dry up tbe fountain of
liberality. Even the delicate susceptibilities
of the American politicians will be found diffi
cult to arouse at the present time, on account
ot the elections. Altogether it will probably
be safe to take tbe magnificent subscriptions
which will be quoted with a discount even
more liberal than usual.
AN ELECTRIC VENTURE.
Loudon to Experiment 'With Its First Elec

London, November 3. The first English

under the River Thames and terminates in
South Lpndou. The ceremony of opening
the road will be conducted by the Prince of
Wales. The cars and tunnel are lighted by
electricity. Although the road is very short
it is expected to be one of the niost profitable
in the country, and, if it demonstrates the
power of electricity successfully, the same
means of locomotion will probably be intro

England should pay an indemnity to the
French cod and lobster fishermen, and
recognize the right of French fishermen on
the Grand Banks to buy and sell bait in all

He also suggested that England should

Commending the Enterprise Large
Mass Meeting in Its Favor.
Washington, November 3. A large
Methodist mass meeting, having for its ob
ject the furtherance of the establishment of
the proposed new Methodist University in
thi3 city, was held in the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church to-night.
Nearly all members of the Board of Bishops
of the Methodist Church, now holding its
meeting here, were present. Bishop Bow
man, the senior bishop of the Board, pre
sided. It was expected that President Harrison
would attend the meeting to-night, but an
ticipating his inability to be present, owing
to his absence from the city, he, under date
of October 31, sent the following letter to
Bishop Hurst, which was read to the audience:
I regret that I am to be absent from the city
on Monday, and shall, therefore, be- unable to
f nltill my purpose to attend the meeting to be
held that evening to promote the movement so
wiselyandsoausuiciouslvinamruiated by the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the United
States, to found at the national camtal a great
university. This movement should recehe,
andl hope will receive, tbe effeciive supnort
and sympathy, not only of all the members of
your great church, bat of all patriotic people.
Such an institution, to serve it proper pur
pose, to save it from tho jealousies and compe
titions of other educational enterprises in the
States, should be so organized as to supplement
and perfect their ork. It must be a national
university, with strong emphasis on both
words.
"With the assurance of a deep interest in
your enterprise, and the most cordial wishes
for its perfect and early success,
I amvery sincerely -ouis,
Benjamin Harrison."

Terrific Collision With a Freight Train on
the Side Track.
BOTH FIREMEN AND EXGINEEUS DEAD
Syracuse, N. Y., November 3. An ac
cident, most horrible in detail, occurred on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad at Rock Cut, a station about three
miles south of this city, through the undue
officionsness of a boy telegraph operator by
the name of M. A. Clark. The accident
occurred at about 5:40 o'clock this after
noon, and the blundering of the operator
resulted in the death of four persons, the
injury of many others and the destruction
of several thousand dollars' worth of the
rolling stock.
The New York and Pacific day express,
due in Syracuse at 5:50. passed Rock Cut at
5:40. It does not stop there, but passes the
station at tbe usual rate of speed, which is
40 miles an hour.
AN OTFICIOUS OPERATOR.
Before the express was due at Rock Cut
two coal trainsfroni Syracuse had arirvedat
the station and had been run in on a switch
on the north side of the main track. The en
gine on the first train that went in on the
switch stood pretty well up toward the east
end of the side track. Engineer James
Doyle, of Scran tont of the coal train, was in
the cab of his engine waiting for the express
to pass, when he would pull out. Michael
Tierney, a hrjkeraan, was also in tbe cab
cleaning his lantern. The second coal train
was behind Doyle's, and about 70 feet from
the caboose of the forward train.
Clark, the operator, was in his room in
the station, ft lew rods east of the switch. He
was on the lookout for the express. The
latter was on time, and as the headlight of
its engine came into view it flashed throngh
Clark's mind that the switch was open and
that if it was not closed the express would
dash into the coal train. No sooner did the
thought enter his brain than he dahed out
of the door, rushed to the switch and swung
it over. Then he realized, but too late, his
mistake.
ENGINES GROUND TO POWDER.
As the switch was turned the express
swung onto the side track, and the crash of
the engines spoke the result. Like mon
sters they ground each other to pieces. The
noise of the collision was lost in the cries of
the passengers withiu the coaches of tbe ex
press train. The fireman and engineer nf
each engine were caught in the wreck and
ground to death. Their names were:
JUf ES DOYLE. Seranton. Pa.
MYRTIE FERNAND. his fireman.
MICHAEL J. BUHKE. of Syracuse.
JKREJIIAH LEE, bis fireman.
The baggage and express car of the pas
senger train rolled over into the ditch on the
north side of the track. In the carwere W.
H. Coppenall, of Oswego; George Derby, of
Cortland, and Josiah Kimball, of Oswego.
All were more or Jess injured, though not
fatally. Michael Tierney was also badly
hnrt. All the passengers were badly shaken
up. though only one was injured seriously.
That one was Mrs. Julia Corcoran, of Buf
falo, whose spine was hurt and .two of her
ribs broken.

CAUSE
THE MURDER OF A
TARENTUM OFFICER.
BRAVE
A Store Robbed and Constable Mateer Fol
lows the Thietes He is Shot Down
While Attempting to Make the Arrest
The Men Escape.
Last :-ht a constable was shot down
while i; -Virgo of his duties at Tareii-
tum, e flpgjfc " murder is added
to the'pfT-i;, I a,Q , '- history.
As in the cist1 pJ iv. ' "t mur
der, it was the ou&cSjCcfc, ?'' y. A
store was robbed shortly iC 3f ' 'clock,
and Constable Mateer gave ciiaiC o three
men lie bad previously seen on the railroad.
That the- were strange men was all that
aroused his suspicion. Patterson is but a
mile and a hall away, aud there the con
stable overtook the men for whom he was
looking. He called for them to surrender,
but they not only re i used to do so but drew
their revolvers. At first they merely strug
gled to escape, but seeing that at least one
must give in to the plucky officer, one of
the men fired three times, two of the
shots takius effect, and fatally wounded
Constable Mateer. One entered his loot, and
the other his heart, and, as he fell, one of
the cowards struck him a terrible blow in
tbe back.
The constable also had his revolver, and
it is said that he used it to good effect, sorely
wounding one ot the robbers. However,
this could not be substantiated, as all tbe
men escaped. It was hardly a moment
after the melee that a number of people who
heard the firing gathered, hut the men had
disappeared.
The engineer on tbe last West Penn train
in from Tarentnm said he had seen the
whole affair. Accoiding to his story he had
pulled his train up for water, and during
the fight the men ran around in front of the
engine, and one crawled upon it to escaue
from tbe constable. Mateer followed and
tried to pull him down, when the man fired,
and both fell to the track. The engineer
said the men were so close.that when the
revolver was discharged the powder flew in
his face. As the train was jnst on time he
pulled out lor Allegheny without waiting
to see the outcome oi the battle, but when
near Creighton a man climbed over the ten
der and asked to be taken on tbe engine to
Creighton. He is supposed to be one of the
burglars. The engineer put the man off the
train. At that time be did not know of the
burglary, orwhether the constable was badly
hurt. ,
-The three men were supposed to be about
25 years of age. Two had black mustaches
and wore light-colored overcoats, but the
third wore a brown coat and va.'i smooth
shaven. Chief Murphy, of Allegheny, was
notified of the affair, and placed policemen
on guard to arrest any one bearing the de
scription of the burglars.
Constable Mateer died at a little after 10
o'clock, the bullet that had entered his hack
having paralyzed him. The men he at
tempted to arrest had burglarized the cloth
ing store of Bealman Brothers. Mateer is
the constable who arrested Alexander
Killian tor the murder of Mrs. Rudert.

TEAD1SG DAIZ1.LL FOE DELAMATER
Ex-Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., fired a
parting shot in Pittsburg, last evening, be
fore going to Bradford to vote for Pattison,
to let Senator Delamater know he was still
living.
Mr. Emery came from New Castle, whers
he got a new affidavit to support his charges
against the Republican nominee, and regis
tered at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. Ashe
sat before the gas fire, in the lobby ot the
hotel, talking to his old partner, Mr. Logan,
the Independent Republican was in an ex
ceedingly hope'ul Irame of mind about the
outcome.
"I think Vr.iU.ice Delamater is defeated,"
he said. "With Beaver's majorities iu Mc
Kean, Crawford, Warren and possibly Alle
gheny counties wiped out. with reduced
majorities hi Erie, Mercer, Indians, Tioga,
Philadelphia and other connties, 1 can't see
how Delamater can pull througn.
DISAFFECTION ALL OVER the state.
"I found marked disaffection all over the
State. In Mercer county, to-day, they told
me the normal Republican majority w.is
2,000 votes, but Delamater will do well if he
gets GOO. I made three speeches in Tioga
county last week, and I was surprised at
the extent of the anti-Delamater feeling
there. I do not know what Pattison's
majority will be, but it will be enough.
Much depends, however, on how many votes
the Republican managers can buy up, and
I am afraid ot this feature."
The affidavit which follows should have
been published several days ago. Mr.
Emery said that the affiant had written him
a letter to Bradford, but as he did not get
home until Saturday, he didn't know any
thing about it. He went to New Castle yes
te'day morning, when the affidavit was
made, and tie stopped over in Pittsburg on
his way home last evening to furnish it to
the press. The affidavit ij in line with
others of a like character vntch the -Senator
has read on the stump. It is sufficiently
explanatory:
WHAT 3IE. STEVENS HAS TO SAY.
State of Pennsylvania. County of Lawrence.
Before me the subscriber, an Alderman in
and for tbe city of New Castle, personally
came Sherman M. Stevens, who being duly
sworn according to law. deposes and says:
That he fo.-merly resided at TownviIIe.
Crawford county. State of Pennsylvania, and
was a membcof the Republican County Com
mute" from that district dnring the years 1S35
and 1886: that he is personally acquainted with
Georce Wallace Delamater. the Republican
candidate for Governor; that be is fully ac
quainted with the charges of crookedness in
retnrd to political matters made bv Lwis M.
Emery, Jr- asainst said George Wallace Dela
mater. and that he knows of his own per
sonal knowledge that all of said charges ore
correct and true: tha; during tbe time said
George Wallace Delamater was a candidate
for tho State Senate from Crawford conuty, he
and W. H. Andrew left monev with the com
mitteemen of the diffrent precincts of Town
viIIe borough. Richmond township, Athens
township. Steuben township. Troy township,
Randolph township and called meetings
through all thee precincts, and 1 rented the
hall iu Tonnville for Delamater to make a
speech In. Iwasalo instructed by Chairman
W. H. Andrews to notify committeemen of
each of these precincts as well as their outside
henchmen to he present at this Delamairr
meeting, which I did. and the committeemen
were all present, as well as tne henchmen so
notified by me. Delamater and Andrews w?re
present. Accordlnz to the pnblished notices,
no one but Republicans were allowed to enter
tbe building at this meeting.
SOME OF DELAMATER' PROMISES.
Delamater said in his speech that he pro
posed to do one thing. He said he was tbe peo
ple's man. and the farmer's man, and opposed
to all who were against them, and made grand
and noble promises as to what he wonld do. 1
introduced Delamater to tbe meeting; There
were about 100 persons present. When Dela
mater was about half through his speech. V.
H. Andrews told me to send tbe parties I had
notified to come to his room at the Central
Hotel, now known as the Hawthorne House,
and then run by Henry liramer. I then noti
fied the parties as requested to go to tbe hotel,
and 1 saw that onlv one of them entered the
room whers Mr. Andrews was at a time, and
that be came out before another entered.
Some 40 or 50 persons were thus seen by Mr.
Andrews that evening, and received money
from him at that time. The amount paid to
them by him ranged from S3 to S'JO each; some
few received more than that.
Delamater came to this hotel with Andrews,
and after his speech returned to this Same
hotel while Andrews was thns engaged. This
tvas onlv one of the places where be stopped la
the connty. He carried on bis campaign
tnronghont the county with Andrews in this
manner. W. H. Andrews was then the Chair
man of tbe Republican County Committee of
Crawlord county. I received from W. H.
Andr -ms tbe same night S-'iO or CO, which I was
directed bv biro to pay to certain parties whom
he did not see, so that they would act in Dela
mater's interest In that election.
MONEY NEEDED TO FIX IT.
This I did. 1 wen t to Meadville a day or two
after this meeting, and saw Andrews in parlor
12,aot the Commercial Hotel, ana explained
thatquitoa number of voters at Townvilla
were going against Delimiter on account of
his speech. Andrews wanted to know if it
coald be fixed. He said I will consult Wallace
about this. Then he went into the next room,
which was Delamater's, and came back and
asLed how mncb it would take to hx those peo
ple. I said about Sit. He slid: "I think J0d
oujht to do that. I have no more money In my
hand, but 1 will go again and see what Dela
mater can do. as this matter ought to be tlxed."
tic then went into Delamater's room and
brought me back about 20 in hills and
Gcorgo Wallace Delamater's own check
for about iU, which I myself bad cashed
at Delamater's bank afterward. I started out
that night at Andrews' request and fixedtho.se
people. The check given that night was made
to my order. S. M. Stevens. Several times dur
ing this campaign W. H.Andrews came tome
to accompany hlOTto visit bis henchmen, which
1 did, tbrouzh Troy and Steuben township".
From bis conversations with me I know that
tbe men he went to sea were always ned.
Daring this campaign I know that not less
than S10 to 500 were spent iu Richmond town
ship. I know the ner-on who received it, and
the persons to whom it war paid nut in that
township in various sums of from SI to J25each
for their votes.
VOTED MEN LIKE CATTLE.
1 also know tbe person in Sbortstown who
distributed the money to the voters, and
marched them to the polls and voted them as
cattle, and paid them from 50 cents to $1 a head
for their votes. While I was a member of the
Republican Connty Committee ot Crawford
conntv Andrews and Delama'er controlled tho
committee, and at every meeting of the com
mittee all the expensts -.iere juid "hf the said
committeemen, and each one received from tt
